She initially told me I should be eating 1,500 calories per day, yet the plan she sent was based on 2,500 calories per day. I also clearly stated that I am allergic to fish, but the diet plan still included fish. When I pointed out these errors, she became defensive instead of apologetic. She insisted the plan was made specifically for me and said she would only fix it if I paid for additional sessions. There was no apology and no attempt to correct her mistakes. I was charged full price for a completely inaccurate and careless plan.

For years I have gone up and down 40 to 50 pounds but have never been able to keep the weight I…read morelose off. Last year at my annual physical, I asked my doctor if she could refer me to a doctor that might be able to help me lose weight and keep it off. She referred me to Dr. Gail Altschuler. It took me three months to call but I did finally go in for an initial consultation. When I met Dr. Altschuler, I found an immediate connection with someone who understood my challenges and who seemed genuinely interested in my life problems related to my weight. I made the decision in May 2008 to go on Dr. Gail's program and I am glad I did. Since May, I have lost 50 pounds, 10 inches in my waist and feel better than I have in years. As a manager of 8 people with an extremely busy schedule traveling all over the country, Dr. Altschuler has helped me manage all types of social eating scenarios. Now, I feel I can manage through all kinds of tough eating situations myself and I believe I can do it for the rest of my life! Thank you Gail for showing me the way and I look forward to years of healthy living. By the way, as the nine months on the program progressed, I have felt better and better about my physical self and now I am running 20 miles a week and will be running in my first 10K in years next month.

Aside from her impeccable credentials (Stanford Med School, UCSF surgical residency and US Air Force), Dr. Lee is very personable and explained my gall bladder surgery in a very concise and simple manner. I was very comfortable after leaving her office. In the pre-op room, she briefly explained to my husband and I what she would be doing in the OR. Again giving us much reassurance. The robot-assisted single site gall bladder surgery she performed was a success and I am now recuperating with very little pain and discomfort. I highly recommend Dr Lee and would go to her again if needed.

After investing in countless coaches and courses, I…read morewas ready to finally put an end to all the second-guessing and commit to a plan tailored specifically for me. I enrolled in the self-paced program after doing my research and seeing overwhelmingly positive reviews. In hindsight, not meeting anyone on video beforehand and relying solely on text communication was a mistake on my part. After taking the initial quiz, I guessed my body type and was assigned a coach who shared that same type. I followed the program precisely for six weeks and saw no results after the first week. Only then did I learn I'd been placed in the wrong program for the wrong body type. I was reassigned to one of the founders, who reviewed my case and matched my correct type. Another 2-3 weeks went by with zero progress, even after overhauling my routines yet again. I even paid extra for their Tier 2 service, with no changes or signs of improvement. I did everything that was asked of me: 15,000 steps a day, consistent powerlifting, hydration, structure, and discipline, yet nothing changed. Instead, my lack of progress was attributed to mindset, quantum physics, and somatic blocks. I'm trained in trauma-informed care and have spent years doing deep somatic and therapeutic work. I fully understand the mind-body connection. But when a program cannot deliver results, shifting the responsibility back onto the client feels dismissive and unfair. Ultimately, it felt like the blame was placed on me when my coach no longer knew how to support my case which is exactly why I hired them in the first place. While I appreciate receiving a $750 refund for the Tier 2 upgrade, I am still left having spent $1,500 on a self-paced program that did not work for me. This is simply my experience. Be thoughtful, do your research, and I truly hope your results are better than mine.

Before working with them I used to question and try every diet, fad, and workout program. I was…read morebasically trying to piece meal my way through ALL the conflicting info out on the internet and Instagram, and was so frustrated with my lack of consistent progress, even though I used to work so hard to try to eat right and workout every day to try and make my body composition and strength goals. Now, I have full clarity and confidence to know what to eat, when, and how much eat and workout to accomplish my body and athletic goals- in any and every circumstance!!! I did all of this all while traveling the world. That peace of mind, confidence, and increased self love I now have for myself is freaking invaluable. And I credit all of that to me working with Green Door Life. I lost fat, gained muscle, toned and built my overall body, and even lost cellulite- I didn't even know that was freaking possible, since I've worked to lose my cellulite for the last 15 years!! And, I did all of this while traveling through 8 different countries and living nomadically full time. I've completed the 12 week nutrition group program and some 1:1 coaching, I'm not trying to overstate this in anyway - it has literally changed my life. This isn't a quick fix or some fad, their courses and coaching is revolutionary to your whole life moving forward. The coaching around food and nutrition is expansive not restrictive. They give you the fundamental deep knowledge and psychological support needed in order to make any situation, any country, and basically any restaurant or food navigable for your goals. What I love about their coaching style is they make you self sufficient and empowered. There is no ongoing sales cycle and unlike other coaching programs, they don't make you feel you need them to keep your gains. I have a completely different and loving relationship to my body, the way I view and eat food is informed and fun, and my daily behaviors and internal throughs are so different and aligned for who I am becoming more of each day, and who I want to be, than how I was when I started the program. I highly recommend working with Green Door Life through their different courses and coaching. I am going to do their upcoming Awaken your Cycles and Strength courses as well, because the amount of value and life changing outcomes I get from them and their courses is literally worth 10x the amount they are priced.

There is no qualification for this that I have found. She led me on for months, costing me thousands out of pocket and I received very minimal care. She even said if my situation was too complex for her that she would ask other health professionals that she is in contact with for assistance. She never did this. I discussed with her how I had been a vegan for several years, but no longer, so I didn't feel dairy was my issue. I told her I had already given up sugar and gluten for a while with little difference to my wellbeing. She insisted I give these things up for months before she would give me the thyroid medication I researched and deeply felt I needed. She promised she would do this for me so I suffered for 2 months in her "care" while she did basically nothing. She was convinced I have an adrenal problem, and that was the cause of my problems, turns out I have high inflammation in my blood which she never checked for. I told her I was constantly dizzy and she didn't take my blood pressure at our visits, turns out my blood pressure is abnormally low, shock! When she finally gave me the medication I told her I needed, I finally found relief from many of my symptoms, how amazing... thank you Internet research and self determination. For several months after this she wouldn't even put me on the recommended starting dose for this medication, so I kept sinking into my old symptoms until she would mildly up my dosage. Then she threatened to not renew my script. This was unacceptable. She even made up a diagnosis for me that doesn't exist. Not professional. Needless to say I fired her and got a real MD and thyroid specialist that has actual qualifications. She immediately discovered through blood testing that I have inflammation in my blood caused by a long lived virus, that I have low blood pressure, and she immediately gave me a much higher dose of my medication. She also prescribed me MUCH less and different supplements than Dr. Kristy did, which I paid hundreds for. The end result being that in one session with an actual medical professional I have answers after wasting a year jumping through Dr. Kristy's hoops. I can now understand why there is so much hate for NPs. Your health is in your hands. As far as I am concerned, you can get better care by researching the Internet, getting blood tests done anywhere, and then going to an integrative health professional, not a snake oil salesman. That is a miserable year of my life, and a lot of money I can't get back.
