I originally started seeing Jane Shellhouse as I wanted a Clinical Nutritionist to help me figure out once and for all how to lose weight. I had dieted most of my adult life and nothing had worked long term. I told Jane that I just wanted to learn how to eat and live my life in a way that would help my body achieve a normal weight for my type of body and the life and work style I have.
Little did I know when I first met Jane that she would do far more than help me on my journey of weight loss. Jane helped me realize that to successfully become a normal weight that I also had to address severe pain issues I was dealing with along with truthfully evaluating why I was overworking my body with my crazy work schedule. She also helped me accept that life style changes, in the amount I needed to embrace, would take time, patience, and my willingness to make necessary changes to reach my goals.
The most important thing Jane has done for me is that she realized before my medical doctor did that I had Celiac disease. Jane advocated for me with my doctor when all my doctor wanted to do, when my blood tests showed I was severely anemic, was to tell me to eat more spinach and take an iron supplement. Once I got all the tests done, that my doctor didn't think at first were yet necessary and my diagnosis was confirmed with an endoscopy, I eliminated all gluten from my diet and soon regained my health.
Today, I am continuing my path of helping my body become a healthier weight. It is a long journey for me but I know I will reach my goal especially now that I have my health back thanks to Jane Shellhouse's knowledge, encouragement, and support.
I highly recommend that if you are seeking help in improving your health in any way that you consider adding a qualified clinical nutritionist to your health team and that you interview Jane Shellhouse to see for yourself why I feel she is the best clinical nutritionist in our area and why I am so happy I met her myself. read more
