I just finished my fifth session with Katie and she has been wonderful to work with. I am slightly…read moreover weight, very active, and have a tendency to vacillate between orthoexia and overeating. When I met with Katie, she reviewed my food logs and helped me see why I was not achieving my fitness and health goals. She breaks things down into easy to do small steps and is very realistic and practical in her suggestions. Katie is also extremely knowledgeable about supplements and helped me figure out how to best spend my supplement budget to support my well being. I have ulcerative colitis and she had many suggestions for improving my gut health that have led to me being completely in remission as of a few months ago. I learned that I am gluten and dairy intolerant and Katie has helped me figure out how to navigate social situations and also how to reduce my carb intake to lose weight. I am still working on putting all these suggestions into practice but I look forward to seeing the results and continuing to work with her in the future.

Katie really knows what she is talking about in regards to lifestyle and diet needs. What I thought…read morewas very interesting is she helped me see the link between my anxiety and food consumption. She explained how our diets affect so many functions in our daily life. She is not pushy or judgmental, but rather very calm and friendly. She was willing to meet at a public place after hours when my schedule did not allow for me to meet her during her office hours. Very cool gal!

After the initial consultation, I had learned so much about the timing of my meals along with the actual foods I was eating that had previously left me feeling bloated and low energy. After just one month of tracking my food and following her recommendations, I reached my goal weight and my energy had massively increased. I was so stoked!! Courtney was so easy to talk to and her follow up emails were awesome because she laid out every single thing we discussed. Since meeting with her a few months ago, I have completely changed my eating habits and am truly so thankful to have learned what foods my body likes and doesn't like. Her protein shake recipe is *chefs kiss* and I drink it every single morning without fail. Thanks again Courtney!

I consulted Courtney because I was having gastrointestinal issues namely SIBO, aka Small Intestinal…read moreBacterial Overload. Its quite unpleasant. My doctor offered me two choices, strong antibiotics or a highly restrictive diet called the FODMAP. I chose the latter but needed help figuring exactly how I was going to survive on a diet that eliminated about 80 percent of what I eat. Courtney was a critical resource in helping me establish a diet where I didnt feel like I was starving myself. The good news is that I was much better in about 3 weeks and 6 months later I am doing great. Courtney is highly professional, knowledgeable and most importantly practical. She breaks it down, makes clear suggestions and is a great motivator.

What brought me to consult with Donna was the desire to lose some menopause weight. Through our…read morefirst appointment, a full health history was taken and discussed. Issues such as my autoimmune condition, acid reflux/GIRD, and lifestyle led to a recommendation to test for food sensitivities. I decided the testing would be an investment in my health. I had experienced these issues for more than 15 years and wanted solutions. She recommended the LEAP program after seeing my test results. The elimination/add-back plan was hard to follow at first, but I was determined to be successful. Within three months, I was off my medication for acid reflux/GIRD. I am working toward the weight loss aspect by following a Mediterranean-style plan which includes the food I am able to eat without reaction. I would recommend this program to others as it is an investment in your overall health and well-being. Please be patient to see results. To be successful, I am finding I need to change my mindset and slow down my expectations. There is no quick-fix to being healthy.

After seeing a few doctors to analyze my health concerns and chronic fatigue, they all said my…read moretests were normal and that there was nothing wrong with me. Donna was the first person that was able to identify a path of healing and address my concerns. Although i never thought of myself as someone with food sensitivities I now am more aware of foods that benefit me specifically and will lead to long term health! Thank you Donna!

I was raised on the standard American diet and by the time I was 25 it was no longer working for me. My energy was constantly up and down, I had a lot of migraines and headaches and my digestion was just not working like it should.

Gracie and I have been working together for about 2 months now and my goals were to educate myself…read more on going plant based after considering it for some time as well as how to make it easy to stick with my new diet given my busy schedule. She helped me to dispel some of the myths behind the questions of nutrients, proteins and health risks of switching to a vegan or plant based diet. There was no judgement to the fact that I still consume the occasional animal product. She just wanted to help me get all of the information I needed to make my own decision and to be there to help and support with any struggles or questions I had. I can't recommend her enough given the approach she takes, the breadth of knowledge she has to share and her ability to make my new diet choices work within a life that is considerably busy. Thanks a million Gracie!

I researched extensively as I would with any provider, and felt that Grace's knowledge, expertise, and humor would make her the perfect provider for me.

After our sesh, I gave my pantry a total makeover with lots of oxo containers and labels because #typeAproblems. I make her hemp seed ranch and strawberry chia jam every single week. I was purchasing strawberry jam from Donna Jean but my husband says Grace's recipe is better and I have to agree! She was also incredibly flexible accommodating my busy schedule which was greatly appreciated. Thank you, Grace!

FINALLY! Relief from years of stomach pain which I thought was either stress related or due to…read moreissues with Gluten, Dairy or friend foods. After sharing with Karen my history of stomach pain and distress (including insane bloating at times), she recommended I take the ALCAT test. To my surprise, I have a SEVERE reaction to SUGAR, which is in everything! Long story short, I have overhauled my already healthy eating habits, am now enjoying bread and dairy on occasion, and have not had stomach pain in months. My quality of life is much improved and though I've been lazy about working out, am managing to stay slim since I now avoid cane sugar.

I brought my 6 y.o. daughter to see Karen Roth and to have the ALCAT food sensitivity test done and…read moreI am so thankful I did. She had just been diagnosed by her pediatrician as having a chronic cough that was an involuntary "tic." I suspected that her gastro-intestinal problems were related even though the Ped. Dr. did not. I had observed that she was reacting badly to certain foods and I believed that there were more foods bothering her than I was aware of. Karen was not only very knowledgeable and professional, but also kind and caring as well. She was very quick to respond to all calls and emails. She answered all of our questions thoroughly. She was even very considerate to come and meet us at her office location that was closer to us and followed up to check on how she was doing. She was delightful to work with and her office(s) are enjoyable to visit. They have a spa like atmosphere. I found the ALCAT info to be very helpful for her. After about one month of being on the new diet, my daughter's "tics" have dramatically improved. She has also been learning some deep breathing techniques, along with the diet, in order to control them which has helped a bit as well. I have observed that her GI problems have been resolved and that I mainly attribute to the dietary changes. We have been trying to reduce stress from all angels for her: physically, mentally, and emotionally. I believe the foods that were bothering her were adding additional stress to her body that were adding to her load and keeping her from functioning optimally and feeling her best. None of us can perform our best when we are not feeling our best. It is an answer to prayer that she is doing much much better. Thank you Karen for your help!

Want access to the same equipment that Steph Curry and Olympic athletes use to train and recover?…read moreIt's all here at Fitness Genome and whether training for an event or doing rehab this place will speed your recovery. Chris, the owner, allowed me to try out several of the toys on my introductory visit. You can also follow Ben Greenfield, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Peter Attia and Dave Asprey to find out more information on health and longevity. Clean orderly space. Windows are covered and the room is Illuminated by a red light panel. There is a locker for storing your personal items. There is no lock, but you can bring your own if you feel the need. Memberships range from 10-20 per use packs, epigenetics membership (2x's weekly cardio+strength+1 recovery), and the executive membership (unlimited usage). 1. Cryotherapy. It's a whole body chamber and nitrogen free. It's set at -150. It's cold, but a cold shower feels much worse. Benefits for skin and mitochondria. Socks, gloves, headband and slippers provided. You place them in the bin after you use them. 2. Red light. FG is equipped with a TheraLight 360 bed. I have a panel for personal use, but this bed completely surrounds you in red light. Didn't use it this time, but Chris suggested to use the light after cryo for a synergistic stacking of benefits for skin, mitochondria and turning fat into brown fat. 3. Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber. It felt very comfortable inside and I started to doze. You can also request to be hooked up to an oxygen mask. A great way to get more oxygen into your body! Benefits for traumatic brain injury and more. 4. PEMF!!! Something I had not come across, but it's very interesting. Fitness Genome carries the PULSE model which is top of the line. Fitness gurus like Ben Greenfield highly recommend it. You lay on the mat and Craig dials up the pulse until you find your limit/level. The pulse will hit people in different areas as the pulse is directed to where your body needs it. I felt it more in my right shoulder and right hip. You can use this treatment for relieving pain, increasing energy, and even repairing bones. Also has a head attachment to use for people who have suffered concussions. 4.5 NanoVI. I did not get to try, but noticed he had one. It's often stacked while using the PEMF. 5. Lymphatic massager. Get the blood flowing and drain those lypmhs! I recently also had a chance to use the Normatec compression boots that I've seen NBA players use, and the lymphatic massager (Balancer Pro) at Fitness Genome delivers a much better experience. It's the gold standard. 6. Brain Tap. The idea is that the binaural beats and lights will move your brain into a restful state. I would have passed, but Craig graciously offered it while I was using the lymphatic massager. It was BLISS! 7. ARX. There is a quick learning curve and it will give you an intense workout. I only did the row, chest and leg press and each set was 4 reps only. I was toast and breathing hard. My lower body only felt slightly sore and I believe this was due to the cryotheraphy, lymphatic massager and PEMF combo! 8. Inbody Scan. Only took a few minutes to generate some data such as body fat %, lean muscle mass, skeletal mass and other interesting biometrics. It keeps a record so you can track your data. Was free with an appointment. Not as accurate as a Dexa Scan, but it still keeps a record that you can track. 9. CVAC. An altitude trainer that stresses your cells. Slight ear popping, but not bothersome. There are five tiers (20 mins) and I only had time for one. 10. Carol AI bike. It looks really interesting a promises the equivalent of a 20 min workout in about two high intensity 20 second sessions. Craig offered for me to try, but I passed bc I was wiped from the ARX. But next time I will! There's also Maxx O2 training available. 11. Semantec. Another piece of technology used by professional athletes to enhance brain function, visual acuity etc. I used to train muay thai/boxing and it was always the punches you didn't see coming that hurt you the most. Didn't get a chance to try it on this visit, but something I'd want to check out next time. 12. Infrared Sauna. Did not have time to try. Prefer a dry sauna myself, but I've read that you will get the same benefits though it will take longer with infrared. Studies using a dry sauna have shown 24% reduction in ALL CAUSE MORTALITY by using a sauna 4-7 times a week for a duration of approx 20 minutes. 13. There's also an array of tools such as a TRX, kettle bells (try buying one during this pandemic) jump boxes, and other fitness equipment. I also felt very little pressure from Craig to purchase any packages. He is very professional, knowledgable and you can see his genuine enthusiasm for health and helping people to optimize their own health journey. Craig, if you read this my only suggestions would be to look into Nu Calm, ice baths, and upper attachments for the lymphatic massager. Thank you!

I have been going to Fitness Genome in Carlsbad for about a month and I am so pleased with the…read moreresults that I had to leave a review so others could find out about this place. The main change for me has been my blood pressure. Miraculously, after doing the PEMF treatment 2x a week for just 3 weeks it went down to normal levels. Because it has been consistently low, I have been able to stop taking my prescription blood pressure medicine. I have continued to check my blood pressure twice a day just to make sure and it is still within normal range. I am thrilled because I would much rather keep healthy using natural methods that don't have side effects. Thanks especially to Chris for guiding me to just the right machine.
