I found Stephanie after being utterly let down by western medicine practitioners after trying to…read moreget relief for some digestive issues I had struggled with for over a year. After seeing numerous doctors through my insurance who made me feel both insulted (one doctor said that my bloating was either menstrual or due to eating an abundance of nuts- neither were the case in the slightest) and not taken seriously with what i'd been experiencing, I was growing depressed and in fear whenever I ate anything. I even went so far as to have a colonoscopy/endoscopy at age 27! The results were that I had some inflammation in my esophagus and I was put on an over the counter acid reducer, which only made my symptoms of bloating, fatigue and rashes even worse! It was so bad that if I ate certain things I would fall asleep in the middle of the day due to my body just shutting down, very scary for me as a busy and generally healthy person in my mid twenties. After speaking with my Husband and parents, they agreed with me that seeking out a nutritionist/holistic practitioner was the only way to progress in having any hope of finding a diagnosis. I found Sound Body Nutrition and called immediately out of sheer desperation and I believe I scheduled a free consultation for either that day or the next day! From that very first conversation, I could tell immediately that Stephanie cared about my plight and even told me that something similar had happened to her with misdiagnosis, which made me feel so much more at ease to know that she had true empathy for my situation. She was flexible with me about accepting a payment plan, and I felt so incredibly supported as I went through the testing and awaited results. It was life changing to get the results back and see that not only had I been eating healthy foods that were causing inflammation in my system (garbanzo beans were one for me, so just goes to show that triggers can be anything!), but I had an overgrowth of H.Pylori which explained all of my symptoms! In addition to that, the H.pylori had actually lowered my stomach acid, thus making it harder to digest reasonable foods (I am a trained chef and we already ate all organic and gluten free as my Husband has Crohn's Disease and is Celiac). The acid reducer that the Gastroenterologist had put me on was the opposite treatment to what my body actually needed, no wonder I felt worse! After over a year of being convinced that nothing major was wrong, or made to feel by doctors that the symptoms were all in my head because they could not figure out what was wrong, I was finally validated. Over the course of the next months, (I began treatment about one month before our wedding!) I was put on a supplement protocol and by the time of the wedding I was already feeling much better than I had been! Now, about 5 months later I am able to eat freely, feel better than I have in years, and am not in constant fear of having symptoms any time I eat. I was aided so much through the program that my Husband, who has a long history of digestive issues, went through her program as well, and we are both now feeling better than we have since our health issues began. If you are on the fence, or intimidated by the cost, I can say that it may seem like a lot, but how much I value my sanity and physical health is really priceless, and Stephanie really and truly saved our lives. I was barely able to get out of bed, and now we live on a farm and work all day with energy to spare! I hope that anyone who needs help, or has lost faith in a majority of western medicine finds Sound Body Nutrition. It has been absolutely life changing for us both. Thank you, Stephanie, you were/are a pleasure to work with. You are such a kind, genuine, compassionate and knowledgeable human being, and we are so glad we found you!

We've also worked together on small incremental dietary changes to create a healthy routine that will be sustainable on a lifelong basis.

I'm writing this after the first month, but so impressed I decided to share the review. I've already lost ~ 15 pounds, which was above my expectations. Her approach helped me to achieve this with outstanding balance and satiation. Her methodology is hands-on. She provided a customized written itinerary and meal plan for me with ongoing education, meal plans, and lessons where I learned how to balance my diet to fit my short and long-term goals - creating a bridge to self-sufficiency and sustained results. She meets the client with communication and approaches with voice recordings, text messages, email - and/or all of the above approach depending on the client's preferences. Her program is immersive and again focused on education and continued success. Her package provided tremendous value. The Program went above and beyond expectations. I won't view my eating habits, diet, and food the same way again. I recommend Melody's Macronazi Nutrition Coaching without reservation!

Kelly helped me figure out some supplements, she provided samples too. I am still taking the supplements Adrenal plus that she prescribed and I feel they really help me.

My first two "try before you buy" sessions last year were really fantastic. I knew Gymnazo was a…read morehigh quality facility, but I didn't really have much of an idea of what to expect my first time (except the obvious bits: exercise in a group setting with a trainer). I was totally operating on my wife's descriptions of her experiences. Walking in the door that first time, I felt immediately welcomed by the staff, not only with their smiles, positivity, and enthusiasm, but also by the fact that they knew my name before I even had the chance to introduce myself. That, quite honestly, blew me away. And the first session? It was fantastic. To be honest though, I wasn't sure it's what I really wanted to do (over, or even as a supplement to my personal workout routine). But I decided I would definitely do the second session. My experience was exactly the same. After both sessions, I walked out feeling I had been given a great experience: a workout totally appropriate to my level of fitness (challenging but not overly so), the coaches consistently motivated, encouraged, and praised the work every participant was doing, and they never stopped paying attention to each person's posture, technique, and form. Both sessions ended up being something I had never experienced before, at any workout facility, anywhere. Gymnazo is truly a one-of-a-kind facility, operated by the most professional, well-informed, positive folks I've come across in the exercise industry. Yes, exercise professionals often present as positive and enthusiastic and passionate. And yes, they want to you to exercise well and reap the benefits. But the coaches and staff at Gymnazo are a totally different caliber of exercise professional. Their interest and passion for the health and well-being of clients, their obvious attention to everything (from the big picture to the little details), and their commitment to professional development through continuing education, makes them truly stand out. And then there's the way they create community. It's a truly special place. For all those reasons, I decided to join. Sure, I love the fact that I can schedule a workout type and level that fits in with how I'm feeling on a given day, show up, be greeted by name, and be given clear and continued instruction, guidance, encouragement on each exercise. But what I really love is the fact that all that is accompanied by the qualities of the staff I noted earlier. They clearly want and know how to help me reach my fitness goals. You leave after each workout in so many ways better than when you walked in. I can tell that that will never change. Gymnazo is worth your time and effort.
