Life-changing, life-extending! I know that sounds very dramatic but what I will tell you is that I…read morehave been an active, healthy, vegetarian for a very long time, but an excessively high-pressure job, along with other big life stressors including a cancer diagnosis, were consuming me. A few trips to the ER and dealing with anxiety as well as an emergency surgery were the icing on the cake. I needed help to reset and get back on track to a healthy and mindful way of life. I was suffering from high stress, extreme fatigue & low energy, foggy brain, pain & stiffness, digestive issues, anxiety, weight gain, high cholesterol, high blood sugars, and the list goes on...My body was screaming at me to make changes and I finally heard the message as a cancer survivor, I had wasted too much valuable time and felt like I was running out of time. I had worked with Lila a number of years ago and knew that she was the one that would be able to help me regain my health & wellness, so together we set off to turn things around. Lila's approach is fact/data based coupled with her expertise and experience to create a customized approach for me. We did food sensitivity and micronutrient tests to understand more detail of my current situation. We then started the MRT/LEAP protocol which sounds like a lot but Lila breaks it down so it is easy to understand and follow (certainly helps that she is INCREDIBLY organized). I really enjoyed the process as it really made me aware and more in tune with how my body reacts to the things I eat. I have also really enjoyed eating a whole food diet as the flavors are so wonderful plus she sets you up with hacks and ideas to make this much more practical - even for us really busy people! Lila has also been a tremendous guide and resource when it comes to sourcing recipes, ingredients, and alternative or unfamiliar foods and has been instrumental in helping me to remove harmful ingredients & chemicals from my day to day. Lila has been such a great partner, coach, and teacher on this journey. She has helped me set reasonable goals, pushed me, and held me accountable, all of which I am incredibly grateful for. The results have been remarkable - We have been able to move my cholesterol, blood sugars, and inflammatory numbers SIGNIFICANTLY in 5 months, getting most of my numbers out of the danger zones. I have also dropped 20 lbs and still going. We have reduced my symptoms (based on symptom survey data) by 91%. I feel so much better as all of my symptoms have dramatically improved or gone away. Lila has helped me to relearn the importance of managing and minimizing stress where I can and has affirmed for me the ABSOLUTE power of food, nutrition, self-care, and exercise as medicine for the body, mind, and soul! I would recommend Lila without hesitation to anyone that wants to invest in their health and wellness and wants an active partner in that process!

I have worked and observed many different physical therapy clinics and I could definitely see the difference in skill set, quality of care, and compassion. This clinic is not a cookie cutter kind of place. Jay is knowledgeable, highly skilled, and goes above and beyond to help patients. He is very attentive to each patients' needs and provides clear/concise functional exercises. You can tell he is passionate about physical therapy and Therapydia. He is always looking to expand his knowledge and skills to help patients improve pain, mobility, and function. If you want excellent physical therapy, I highly recommend Therapydia! Side note: They have a body composition machine called the InBody (8-point tactile electrode system), which is awesome and rare to see in a PT clinic. I got to do a scan, received a print out, and a thorough explanation from Jay. The scan provides an analysis of body composition, muscle fat, lean muscle, etc. This helps you track your fitness progress in a way that a scale could never.

A good friend recommended that I get another opinion from Dr. Athena Paradise, DC, who had helped her heal from an injury. Walking into Portland Natural Health was the best decision I made for the health of my spine and body for a lot of reasons. Mostly, because Dr. Paradise is the kindest, most helpful person I've ever met; she really cares about her patients. She will dig deeper than the symptoms and find the cause of the problem. All the permanent nerve pain most doctors said I would have to live with forever in actuality was being repeatedly triggered by the foods I had grown intolerant to due to a head injury.
