We have worked together for about a year, and she has patiently helped me put together a plan that includes a food log, and exercise that fit my lifestyle and schedule. She has been non-judgmental and firm but encouraging through my numerous stops and starts. She truly understands the emotional component of food addiction. It 's not enough to intellectually know what to do. She helps you deal with the "inner kid" who keeps you from doing what's in your own best interest. I highly recommend her whether you are an elite athlete, or just beginning your journey toward healthy living.

I did not know what I was looking for in a nutritionist, but I did know that I was done with diets…read moreand wanted to develop a healthy relationship with food. Rebecca is leading me on a journey to do just that. She identified my core problems with food, mainly that I was prone to over-restricting (and therefore under-eating) with intermittent binges. After only a few sessions with Rebecca, I feel so much happier and healthier. Until Rebecca identified my emotional eating habits, I did not realize that I was using food to stifle difficult feelings. Now Rebecca is working with me to help me get in touch with my "intuitive eater." My only regret is that I did not have time for more sessions this summer, since I will be returning to school soon. But Rebecca has promised to stay in touch via email, Skype, and phone, and after only a week away she has stayed true to her promise. Rebecca can help you get to the bottom of your problems with food, and she will guide you in developing a lifestyle plan that works for you and your body. I really could not be happier with this experience.

Prior to working with Linda of Simple Well Being I struggled with my diet and nutrition to get down to my goal weight for my triathlon and bike racing. With Linda, I got practical and very helpful advice to help me work towards my personal goals. I learned a lot about the foods I should be eating more of and some eye opening food errors on my part. I have since made several small tweaks to my eating and meal preparation that have paid big dividends. Linda has helped me focus on my meal planning, basics to have in my kitchen, and foods to avoid. I have since lost weight, increased my energy level, and friends are asking me what I am doing differently since the changes are so pronounced. If you are looking for someone to help you tweak your diet and get you into living a healthier lifestyle then I strongly recommend Linda and Simple Well Being.

I completed Lindsay's 6 week program and wow! I can truly say that it was a life changing…read moreexperience!! In the past 4 years, I had gained 40+ lbs due to some special medicine I was taking (and probably some overeating of hamburgers too haha). I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. Juice cleanses, special diets, pills, multiple private trainers, you name it and I had done it. Unfortunately, nothing stuck. Knowing my wedding was just around the corner, I had to do something to get the weight off for good. I wanted to feel confident on my wedding day! I found Lindsay through a quick yelp search and was intrigued. Let's get this straight. This is not a special fad diet or some strict eating plan, its a way of life! Lindsay gives you the tools, skills, and mindset to make a long lasting change in your lifestyle. During the course of the 6 weeks, I lost 8+ lbs and now (more than 3 months later) I'm still continuing to lose weight by following what she taught me. I plan to be at my goal weight in the next 3 months (in time for my wedding!) And most importantly, I feel fantastic!!!!! I feel like a whole new person. Yes, it's a monetary investment but it was worth every penny :) do it!!!

I started working with Lindsay in August and she has been great! I've been a yo-yo dieter for as…read morelong as I can remember and I never really learned about proper nutrition. I was always looking for that quick/easy way to lose weight and while I have been successful in the past, it always comes back. With Lindsay's program, I feel confident that this is something I can keep up with long term and I have already seen amazing results. Not only do I notice a physical change, but mentally I feel so much better as well. I am sleeping better and have more energy. As other reviewers have said, this is not a strict or fad diet but a different way of life. I eat out a lot and starting this program I was worried I wasn't going to be able to do that. However, Lindsay taught me some tips and tricks so that I can still eat out, drink and socialize but still eat healthy and it can still taste good. I can't wait to see what happens in the next few months!

Her positive attitude, gentle bedside manner, and wealth of knowledge on topics related to my condition immediately put me at ease. What MOST sets her apart from the other specialists I had seen, however, is that she cares about your getting better! Too many times specialists would suggest a test or treatment to me and then have nothing else to say when it didn't work - Dr. Brodsky was determined to get to the bottom of curing my problem, even if that meant trying more than the first thing that came to her mind. Save yourself the hassle of doctor hopping and start here, with someone who won't rest until she's found you a solution.

These are people that truly care about what happens to you.

I'm all about meat, potatoes, cheese & diary. I can only tolerate about 4 vegetables & 2 fruits. Nonetheless, I want this to be the last time I have to go from obese to normal. It sounds too good to be true so I was skeptical. Having been a civilian employee for the Police Dept for 20+yrs just adds to the skepticism. My world has changed drastically from being a married carefree adult only child to caretaking a few yrs apart for divorced parents who lost their battles with cancer. After losing my mom exactly 3 yrs ago today (Wow. I just realized this. Divine intervention.), I then lost over a dozen other family members, friends, and parents of friends who were so important to me growing up. The last 3 yrs have been rough. It's time to do this for me. :-) I joined the website. There were no new classes to join last fall but I wanted to be notified when a new class began. In the winter I received a kind, friendly & informative call offering to let me join the "maintenance" classes (at a cost, but that's only fair) until a new class opened up. I was urged to join this class because most often when people say they are ready to lose weight, you should really pounce on the momentum THEN (my words). The motivation may dissipate. I agree, it's usually true. But I knew for me, it was different this time & I was determined to wait for a new class. I also questioned why they wanted my money so badly. Why would I join a maintenance class? Who wants to be fat in a room full of normal? What are they selling?? It's not often an only-child-brat admits they're wrong! I was completely wrong. They are not selling pills, supplements, bars, shakes... they are not selling you anything. HONEST TO GOD. I can't tell you how relieved I was to learn this after being there. Hard to believe, they actually just want you to live long, be happy, avoid diabetes, heart problems, etc. And the "maintenance" classes? They vary from people like me who just finished the initial 6 wk class to those who have lost their weight... every phase of the journey is represented. I absolutely COULD have started in those classes as proposed to me initially. (Note to administrators - maybe it shouldn't be called a maintenance class?) There is a primary care doctor who has shown up to 3 of the 6 classes. (Where does he find the time? I have a doctor who has heard about Dr. Taubman & thrilled to know he was leading this.) A psychotherapist leads 3 classes and focuses on what you're gaining not what you're losing, mindfulness & how powerful your brain is in this journey. A dietician leads 3 classes. (If you bring up a study you recently read where "x" food is bad or good for you... 99.9% of the time he has read it too, found out the details/background, who funded the study, and read about the research that came before it & after it!) Sometimes they're there together. And they're all available to you by email/phone. I have now been through the 6-wk beginner's class & have learned so much. I've "only" lost 9lbs but I did it on MY terms. Could I have been more gung-ho & lost 20? Considering my current size, probably. But that's not me. There are no "you HAVE to cut out" this or "this week you HAVE to x, y or z". It's information, tons of information. Sharing. Affirmation. Different approaches. Menus & recipes to try *if you want*. You take what you want from each class & use it as you see fit. Want to be a vegan? Come to the class! Want to stay meat & potatoes like me? Surprise! Do whatever you want. But you CAN make healthier choices and find out that some things actually taste good. Things you hated? Try x this way instead... wow, that wasn't so bad. That's actually do-able! It's do-able. AND it's exactly as advertised. A rare thing in 2016!

I've had chronic pain for the past 5 years and going to Dr. Amanda has been a game changer for me. Her adjustments are the best! I always leave her office feeling relaxed and much better than when I walked in. She really spends time with her patients. I used to go to another chiropractor in the area--he was good but the adjustments were really short. I had to go into his office 3 times a week for a 5-minute adjustment. There's honestly only so much you can accomplish in that short amount of time. Dr. Amanda's approach is TOTALLY different. Her appointments are 45 minutes long, so she really takes the time to work through the whole body. She addresses everything from hidden infections to pent up emotions. Plus, most of her patients only have to come in once a month! My favorite thing about Dr. Amanda is that she goes above and beyond for her patients. Whenever I have a more complicated health issue, she actually goes home and does the research on her own time. How many doctors would do that? Dr. Amanda isn't just your doctor when you're in the office with her--she actually cares and thinks about you outside the office. Then at your next appointment, she'll have a solution to your problem all ready for you! Dr. Amanda is one of the absolute best investments you can make for your health!

Perfect Workout is a "slow motion" weight training concept. Using machines, you exercise many…read moremuscle groups, one after the other, doing each motion very slowly, and gradually increasing the weight used for each muscle group as you get stronger. Doing the movement very slowly increases the work the muscle is doing, and makes a short workout very effective. Also, one of the things I like best is that there is constant positive feedback ("All right!! You beat your last time by 10 seconds!!"). The Rockville location is very easy to get to (in the Shady Grove area), and has a large parking lot. Caroline Mariz is the manager of this location, and is the trainer I work with. Caroline is a real professional: she very precisely monitors me to make sure I am using the positions that will both maximize the positive effect of each exercise and protect the parts of my body being used in that exercise. I have had a number of orthopedic problems and surgeries recently, and that has made me aware of another reason why Caroline is so valuable as a trainer. She carefully places the seat of the exercise apparatus, makes changes to the range of motion, and uses a back cushion, all to accommodate the latest orthopedic issue. She has also talked with my doctor's office to be sure she knows the suggestions and limitations they want her to use from time to time. To top it all off, Caroline is a lovely, amiable young woman, fun to work with. Rachel, the other trainer I've seen at that location, also is very pleasant and seems to have the same work ethic as Caroline. Perfect Workout is not inexpensive, but I consider every dollar I spend, and every minute I am at the studio, time and money really well spent.
