I came to Yael because while I know about working out, calorie deficits and nutrition individually. I just didn't know enough about how they all work together and I was feeling frustrated, deprived and results were no where in sight. In the months I've worked with Yael, I find myself happy about the changes Yael has advised me to change. Not only they make sense scientifically , they make sense to real life, a busy professonal's life at all. I find myself calm, never starving, dont feel deprived and I have high energy for new outdoor cycling hobby and existing body weight training. I'm grateful for the tools and knowledge that Yael is teaching me, she's setting me up to mature my knowledge of my own body and goals to do this on my own once the training wheels are off. I highly recommend Yael to anyone who seeks a holistic and realistic approach to health and fitness goals.

After he paid over $600 and signed her no-cancellation contract, she revealed the program couldn't start without extra lab tests that were payable directly to her. When the updated bloodwork from a doctor showed his condition was serious and required prescription treatment, he asked Ricky to pause and requested a partial refund for what we thought would be fair for her consultation at that point. No treatment for the suggested program was ever rendered, and he never submitted the lab work. She even said she'd cancel the lab and issue a refund -- but never did. Instead, she kept over $800 for services never delivered and hid behind her no-cancellation clause, despite us offering to pay for the initial consultation. We regret ever trusting her. Her approach raised serious ethical concerns -- hidden costs, bait-and-switch strategies, and refusing refunds for treatment services not rendered. If this is what her "wellness" practice looks like, buyer beware.

I had never been to a nutritionist before but I knew I had to meet you, after reading about you and all your many positive reviews on the web. Thank you for all your help and support in my own life's health journey... as well as helping me deal with the chronic condition I live with. First, thank you for taking the time to get to know me. You have a wonderful way of listening and assessing and getting at the root of issues in a warm and open way. And now I know about you too! You are one intelligent, knowledgeable, nutritionist! But you are more than that! What I learned first from you is nothing is fixed immediately. Although sometimes it is! You helped me see that, and you taught me, by your example, of perseverance, patience and knowledge, - to not give up. And if I was giving up well- you were NOT!. You are resolute in finding solutions if it's a new issue, or even if it's an old issue - and we try again in new ways. This is key for me living healthfully and comfortably with you, Julie Scott, by my side. I always feel you are ready to listen, figure things out together, ready to share your thoughts, and ready to search for more information to help me. My most recent appointment was a check in and a review of my protocols for every day living vs flare ups, vs tweaks of additional things to add and delete in my overall health plan. Thank you! We all have different health challenges we live with and we go to our doctors, dentists, etc.,...but you, Julie, you are the professional person in my life that helps me put it all together. I'm lucky I found you! Thank you!

Their emphasis on proper technique and sustainability has led to large improvements in my strength and overall fitness.

I found Shanti on my own over 10 years ago, then was referred to her again years later by a…read morephysician. Both times, I hesitated because of the cost -- I told myself I was already paying for insurance, so why pay out of pocket for something extra? That decision cost me more than money. I've been dealing with serious health issues since 2018, and I didn't see real progress in my treatment until I finally integrated Shanti into my care team. After a few years working with her, I'm in the best health I can remember in years -- and honestly, the turnaround still shocks me. Shanti has been the cornerstone connecting the dots across a complicated health picture: major weight and puffiness fluctuations, food reactions and allergies, MCAS/histamine issues, mold, migraines, headaches, and joint pain -- all while juggling multiple doctors and endless investigative work. She's been there on the days I could barely move or eat, in real pain and down, and she's helped me build a fuller care team rather than trying to be everything herself. She got me OFF the endless cycle of adding supplements and protocols, and taught me to simplify and actually listen to my body. She's patient, she remembers every detail of my history so I never feel like a number, and she adapts to what's realistic for me rather than forcing one rigid method or diet. We've also gone deeper than the physical -- into the inner work of trauma, stress, and old patterns -- and worked through how my health connects to my marriage, family, work, and travel. I'm so grateful for my work with Shanti. It has been life changing. I wouldn't be able to propel into my next steps in life without the rigor and resilience of our time together.

Her deep, science-based understanding of physiology, especially when it comes to female and athletic bodies, is truly unmatched. She meets you exactly where you are, tuning in to your personal needs while offering practical, meaningful guidance that leads to real change. What sets Shanti apart is her whole-body, natural approach. She's not someone who pushes a Western medicine fix for everything--she's incredibly attuned to the body's natural rhythms and honors the simplicity and wisdom of how we're built. She challenges me in the best ways, always pushing me toward actual growth while being emotionally supportive and truly caring along the way. And honestly--her approach works. I've been dealing with insulin resistance and hormonal shifts, and in just two months I've experienced a major, positive transformation in how I feel and how my body functions. I first worked with Shanti before my wedding and reached my goals, and came back to her when I decided to come off birth control. The results have been even more powerful the second time around. If you're ready to take real action and make sustainable, lifelong changes for your health, I can't recommend Shanti enough. She's the real deal

I had dealt with on-and-off knee pain for several years, along with a few small tears, and over time it significantly reduced my confidence to hike, bike, and work out the way I used to. I have always been a very active person and have completed challenging hikes in Yosemite as well as the Inca Trail. Getting back into the kind of shape where I could do those things again had started to feel almost impossible. Stephen worked with me patiently and diligently, step by step, showing me how to recover, rebuild strength, and regain confidence in my knees. What I especially appreciated was his willingness to answer all of my questions and explain the science behind what we were doing. He started by helping me understand something as fundamental as how pain receptors work in the knees and built from there. His combination of patience, knowledge, and a scientifically grounded approach gave me the confidence to become active again and work toward the things I love doing.

I started working with Chen about 7 months ago because I found myself with no energy or strength to…read moreget through my day. I tried to eat healthy but was constantly hungry when counting calories and snacking on whatever was in the office to get me through the day. I also thought I had a sweet tooth. Chen helped me realize that I actually needed to eat more, but the right foods, especially since I had some food allergies that caused inflammation. The doctor only told me to eat less to loose weight and get my blood sugar down, but that was it. Our bodies are all different and we need to eat according to our body's needs. I also began to plan my meals and snacks so I wouldn't have to resort to eating too much sugar which is the snack of choice in every office setting. Making sure I eat enough and a variety during my meals has taken away my sweet tooth and gives me enough energy to put in long hours as a litigator, pick up kickboxing again, and have enough time for my family. Medically, my blood sugar has improved greatly and I've lost 15 pounds. It's been a slow process with some setbacks due to travel, but I'm very pleased and will keep the knowledge she has given me to continue to live a balanced and healthy life. The thing I'm most grateful to Chen is that she listened and confirmed that I did indeed need to eat more. I'm deemed obese, but have played sports all of my life and have done well on physicals, but doctors still told me to loose weight and do it by reducing my calories. It was frustrating and made me feel like something was wrong with me because I tried eating less and snacking on carrots, but would still be hungry. I'll probably still be considered obese once I get to my healthy weight, but I'm fine with it now because I will know I am actually healthy. That peace of mind was well worth the cost of Chen's services.

I'm here ALIVE and THRIVING today because of Chen. When the doctors couldn't figure out what was…read moregoing on with my body & made me even sicker with rounds and rounds of medications, I was ready to give up. But luckily, I then found Chen. She took one look at me and knew it was food related and said she would help me figure it out. And that she did! I started working with Chen about 4 years ago. She is one of the few people I trust with advising me on how to care for my body and my autoimmune disease. I've even seen doctors in centers that purely focus on my autoimmune disease and they weren't able to answer all the questions that Chen has for me. Chen has supported me through every single step of the way on my health journey: - Finding my diagnosis (testing & interpretation), - Developing a nutrition & supplement plan, - Periodic consultations to adjust my plan while my body went through various cycles till it stabilized, - Educating me along the way how to listen to and understand the signs my body was giving me (knowledge/skills I will carry the rest of my life) - Tips on different foods/recipes to try and tips for food prep - As well as supporting through the emotional aspects of the journey (i can't tell you how many times i cried and she always listened, encouraged me to really let it out and supported me) Additionally, I've use her supplements, protein powders and protein bars for the last 4 years. I can't recommend them enough, especially for those with very sensitive bodies like me. She sources and produces her products specifically to be allergen free. The new addition to her line, the protein bars, are SO tasty that I almost don't want to tell you that. Most recently I've tried the energy reading/work with her. This for me is something I was excited to try as Chen and I had been trying to find the last little bit to get me to 100%. The results of the readings are always very spot on and a great data point to help show some other factors going on (food, environment, and emotional). I have to admit this was a very new experience for me and I wasn't sure what to expect, but seeing the reading and results has been mind-blowing. And on top of all this Chen herself is an ABSOLUTE JOY. She instantly makes you feel safe and supported the moment you see or talk to her. She will push you and call you out if needed. And she will also celebrate your wins and learnings with you along the way. I can't thank Chen enough. I didn't think it was possible to not only get my healthy body back but to be stronger than I ever was. I'm so happy to be alive today thanks to her and to get to go after my dreams knowing I have her support.
