Jillian shares all of her knowledge and really takes the time to educate her clients. She makes herself fully available and provides TONS of resources to support you on your journey. I was really blown away. While you need to be committed to do the work, Jillian's plans are in no way restrictive and really set you up to optimize your health for the long term. While I still have some work to do, I feel fully confident that Jillian's approach will benefit me for the rest of my life. I couldn't be more thankful!

I began my weight loss program 8-1-2019 and lost 25 lbs within 3 months. It is now 4-4-2020 and have maintained my weight loss for 6 months. Have never maintained a weight loss more than 1 month.

I achieved this goal and kept the weight off for the past 3 years ( I way 200 lbs today). I actually achieved a lifelong dream of thru hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in 2014. It took me 5.5 months and I never would have accomplished this without the weight loss achieved with Ideal Health. I have also run many road races, beating many personal bests. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Stephanie and Ideal Health. If you are looking to make changes like this in your life, I highly recommend this program.

When we first started working together, I was hoping to reduce some of the gastrointestinal issues…read morethat have been wreaking havoc on my body for years as well as begin the journey to healthy weight loss. I have struggled for years with up and down dieting and wanting to try to lose the weight once and for all. Up until now, I had been seeing a gastroenterologist for the past year and had every test under the sun (colonoscopies, blood tests, stool samples, breath tests) all of which were "inconclusive" one way or another and I was lumped into the diagnosis of "IBS" like so many other women looking for answers. For years, I had tried dieting and had very minimal success, for short periods of time but nothing that lasted more than a year. Now, for the first time in my life, I am not bloated 24/7. My fatigue level has decreased significantly, and my body feels better. This is a hard concept to explain because I didn't even realize how horrible I felt before. The biggest development however, is for the first time I have no eczema. Last year, I developed eczema on my hands and face for the first time ever. I now utilize this as a sign that I need to pay attention to what I am putting in my body. I also feel like I am finally able to control how my body responds. How it responds to stress, food, life and all of the in-betweens. It is amazing to figure out something you never even knew in the first place! If you are thinking about working with Ayla, I would recommend taking the plunge and doing it for you, to make yourself feel better and nobody else. I feel hopeful, finally. I feel hopeful that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I can get back to who I finally want to be, healthy, fit and mindful.

Working with Ayla has honestly saved my life. I was dealing with chronic autoimmune issues and was…read morenot getting the help I needed in going to my doctors (PCP/dermatologist/OBGYN). The doctors kept wanting to put me on different medication instead of figuring out the root cause of the issues. Someone recommended Ayla and I started working with her. Within 3 weeks, I noticed significant changes in how I felt and a significant reduction in symptoms. My psoriasis (which covered 90% of my body) was going away, my digestion was improving, my energy levels were up, my menstrual cycles improved. She even helped me discover an un-diagnosed thyroid condition which was impairing fertility. She gave me my life back. Right now I have no psoriasis, my digestion is better and my throid levels are normalizing. I would highly recommend her, especially if you feel like there is no other options or hope. She is an amazing listener and takes your symptoms and concerns seriously. I am so grateful to work with you.

I am a 66-year-old woman who was suffering numerous maladies including indigestion (reflux,…read moreheartburn, stomach pain) and painful joints as well as a series of infections including double pneumonia and UTIs. What prompted me to seek professional help though, was a seizure which scared me more than any of the other symptoms. I had consulted with numerous doctors and specialists who, after many office visits and tests, provided temporary symptomatic relief but gave no answers or explanation for why I was having so many problems. My energy level was lagging and despite my age, my quality of life had declined severely over the previous 3 years. A friend had prompted me to make an appointment with Dr. Cora Rivard who had helped her considerably with a variety of problems she was experiencing. I had been taking Prilosec (omeprazole) for several years for my issues with indigestion. One of the first things Dr. Rivard addressed was the vitamin deficiencies I was experiencing due to long term use of that medication. As I suspected, many of these health issues were related and nutrition deficiencies were to blame. I cut back on the dosage of Prilosec and began a regimen of supplementation which brought my body back to the health I had enjoyed previously. Reflux, heartburn, and stomach pain went away. Joint pain virtually disappeared and infections are now a thing of the past. Dr. Rivard has worked with me to regain my health and encouraged me to become an important part of my own recovery. I recommend her and the approach she offers to anyone who is concerned about their health and well being.

I booked Melissa for her one and one private sessions. Everything's done online. She provided a lot…read moreinfo on PCOS & fertility, but I feel it's a lot of info you can already find online. The sessions are expensive and she does have a long waitlist. For those that can't afford her sessions or can't wait, she wrote a book with a lot of tips and on her social media she posts a lot of useful things. Unfortunately I had to end my services with her because I felt she couldn't separate her career from her personal political views. In the beginning it didn't bother me but then it was affecting my mental wellbeing. If your views didn't align with hers she would treat you differently purposely. I guess she felt her views were the only correct views. I hope one day she sees how she is alienating so many women who are sick and need help.

Jenn is incredible. I wanted to drop some weight that I had gained since moving in with my…read moreboyfriend. Plus I was leaving for a vacation we'd been planning forever and I wanted to feel comfortable in my clothes again for that trip. I hesitated to hire a nutritionist because I felt like I had been pretty well educated on what eating healthy looked like. But these days, between whole 30 and paleo and keto, I was having a difficult time knowing what I should focus on. Jenn gave me clear directions and delicious recipes right away. I dropped 4lb in the first week that never came back. Over the month of working with her, I dropped 8 lbs and 2". Not only that, she helped me reframe my thoughts about the scale and my body. I left for my big trip yesterday and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jenn!

I have been fortunate enough to know Jenn both as my personal trainer and as my nutritionist. I…read morethink the absolute best thing about Jenn is her holistic view of nutrition. It is not just about working out and eating healthy, but it is about leading a full life, whatever that may mean for you. Her background in counseling definitely comes through in all of her work, and I quickly was comfortable working with her and talking to her about my frustrations and my goals. As a nutritionist, she has a wonderful way of personalizing each session. While there are pre-planned topics for each discussion, if there is something personal going on, that always takes precedent. I started my nutrition program around the same time I started law school, so there were many stressors aside from food in my life. I definitely attribute a lot of my success in my first year to having Jenn help me work through the stress and focus and make time in my life for important things outside of school. As a trainer, Jenn is just extremely motivating and challenges you as far as you can go. She makes training fun and helps you set reachable goals, so you are constantly meeting them and setting news ones. She has innovative ideas to help you work around crazy schedules and makes sure that you are always pushing yourself. Overall, Jenn is a great person to work with and will quickly become a great friend! She is always willing to help through email, and is very flexible to meet the needs of those with demanding schedules. This year has been amazing working with her, and I look forward to continuing to do so for a very long time!
