I have to say that I am bewildered and saddened by the few negative reviews I see her... I am still a dedicated client and will never stop coming here. I have referred so many friends and family to this place and everyone has had the same amazing results... The food sensitivity testing is life changing & most of all accurate. When I cut out the things I'm supposed to I feel amazing, lose weight & bloat and go #2 like three times a day!!! (sorry gross I know lol but this is the ideal just like a baby) By the way... My sister also goes to healthee Life and she didn't test weak for grains.. Yes she can continue to eat pasta bread etc... Back was I was still a skeptic I thought they just took everyone off of grains but they don't... Everyone is different... I am so so jealous of her :( The herbs, vitamins and supplements simply work! Following this program is not cheap but it isn't expensive either!!! I just can't believe that some yelpers refuse to give this program a chance... I appreciate that Healthee Life actually seeks to resolve the root of the problem Vs. Mask the symptoms like most doctor do! People... Give this place at least a 3 month chance... I can faithfully give you my word they will make you feel & look better!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Heewon is truly gifted. She has a wealth of knowledge, is very caring and compassionate. She takes the time to listen to you, and find great healthy solutions to make you better. I highly recommend her practice to my friends and to everyone. read more

Keep an open mind and try not to apply the scientific method when coming here because this is a different form of medicine that cannot be proven. You are asked to fast both food and water 3 hours before coming. Then, you take a bodyscan test which tells you your weight, muscle, and fat in each area of your body. Afterwards, you hold a vial of liquid that contains a food's essence (such as apple) to your chest or stomach, while your other hand is gripping your ring finger to your thumb. The employee will try to pry your fingers open while your other hand is gripping that vial to your chest. If it opens, it means that food energy is making you weak. Once they test about 30-40 different vials, you are told which foods are negative for your body. For me, it was whole grains and tuna. The you are asked to abstain from it completely for 30 days and gradually reintroduce the food one by one if you want to, to observe the effects. I've heard of this test before being popular in Korea but I don't know the origins of the test. After they go over the negative foods with you, you are prescribed some supplements that you purchase at the counter. Total time taken for exam is about 20 minutes. Honestly, it wasn't what I was expecting at all, but since I spent $50, I'll try abstaining from the negative energy foods. This place feels like those Chinese medicine clinics where the doctor holds your hand, listens to your complaints, concocts a medicinal broth of various ingredients, and asks you to take it. Let's be realistic. Before you buy any supplements here, and before you abstain from any foods that they recommend via the test, I highly encourage speaking with a nutritionist or a doctor. -1 star for feeling a bit cheated by Groupon (description was lacking, thought this was more like a health exam with lab tests) -1 star for high price (not worth $50. I'd try up to $20 but no more). Low value. -1 star for not liking the method of testing and supplement recommendations without actual scientific testing. +1 star for great customer service. +1 star for bodyscan weight scale testing and novelty of food energy exam. read more

I'm a skeptic my nature. Things that seems like pseudo medicine need to be approached with caution. And faithful readers here will know that I've added chiropractors and acupuncturists lightly. So a friend of mine introduced me to Heewon and her services, I didn't know if it was real or not, but I thought I'd give it a shot. We started out with a food sensitivity test. She was able to go through over 300 items that my body seemed to had a positive or negative effect with. This test was short of amazing. It was able to find foods that seemed to deplete energy from me in a short 10 mins. Heewon also does a detox cleanse. Supposedly there are toxins in the body that make it hard to lose weight in certain areas because of toxins that like the hang on. This year, I worked hard to lose about 20lbs and thought to give this a try. My skepticism was that i'll lose weight, but it'll come back on quick. All cleanses / fasts will do that. After doing a 10 day clease, I lost about 10 lbs. It's been 7 months since the detox and I've only gained 3lbs of it back (due to the holidays). Coupled with changing my diet form the sensitivity test, i have learned to better the quality of life and enjoy healthier living. further proof is that I only got sick once in 2010. in 2009, i had gotten 4 sinus infections and weighed over 30 lbs more. If you can tell the difference between a Taco Bell taco and one from Baja Fresh, then you'll see a difference in quality of life for you too. For me i'm a believer and i can see and feel the difference in the mirror every day. Now she is someone i consult frequently to stay in tip top shape. read more

I have to agree with Louisa. Purchased a Groupon for the food sensitivity test and left feeling scammed out of $50. The girls helping me were friendly so I didn't have any issues with the customer service, but the entire premise of how they "test" is absurd. The tester has you hold your arm at shoulder height while she applies pressure to your wrist to see how weak or strong your muscles are while she holds a little vial of liquid in front of your chest. These magical little vials hold the energy frequencies of various foods. I inquired as to how these energy frequencies are obtained, and the girl had no idea. The whole concept is ridiculous. First, I don't believe it's even possible to capture a food's energy in a vial of liquid (sure foods emit energy in terms of light - that's why they appear certain colors, but if NASA can't figure out how to trap a frequency in a vial, I don't think Healthee Life has either). Second, I am expected to believe that the vial will then emit an energy into my chest that will then cause the muscles in my arm to weaken if I am intolerant to the food? Like many other "holistic" practitioners they also try to push their herbal supplements on you, despite the girl telling me that everything seemed "balanced" based on my test results. read more

My health has undergone an incredible amount of progression once I started coming here. Every long-term issue I've had, Heewon found the root cause which I'm actively focused on healing now. As soon I found out what my food sensitivities were, I tried the elimination diet and couldn't believe how much energy I had, but I sure so miss bread and pasta. On top of that, I've suffered years from a painful scar that Western medicine had no solution for. I accepted that there would never be a solution. It finally healed and there's no pain after several sessions of mud therapy! Their herbs have also boosted my immunity because I stopped getting sick every month. I've changed the way I eat and grocery shop and my skin has never been clearer. I'm baffled by these bad ratings because they obviously have not tried listening to the valuable holistic advice. If you want results, then listen with an open mind. You'd be surprised of what your body is capable of achieving the 'au natural' way which has changed my life and how I perceive the world of healing. read more

Finding Healthee Life has changed my life. Literally! I had struggled with Migraines (2-3 times a week!), Past Physical Tramaus, and many other seemingly unrelated health issues for the past eight years. Having gone to multiple Doctors, Chiropractors, Neurologists and undergoing a plethura of medical testing not one of them could help me get to the root of my problems. I have been seeing Heewon for about six months now and can honestly say that I feel like a new person - I am alive again! The migraines have gone away and I can see the rest of my issues healing already. Healthee Life is the only medical treatment that I have ever seen permanent results from - not to mention the treatments involve results that treat the CORE issues instead of just medications to numb the pain. I am forever grateful and I will continue to use Healthee Life as my main source of medical consultations. read more

I met with Heewon for a consultation and got a comprehensive analysis of what foods are healthy for me and imbalances in my body. She took time with me to write out nutritional goals and a plan to restore health and balance with specific instructions and objectives. Heewon was very helpful in answering my questions. I was especially impressed with her knowledge of the effects of past trauma on the body as it relates to present health. I appreciated how personalized my consultation was and how good I felt after following her advice. Thanks Heewon! read more

I am really impressed with Heewon's vast cutting edge knowledge! She keeps up to date with the latest optimum health technologies. (which I don't have much time for since opening my own business recently) The information I learned about my body's food sensitivities is quite valuable. And, the small recommendations she gave me has made improvements on my energy and over all health. Just by looking at you, and asking a few questions she seems extraordinarily gifted with figuring out what the problems are!!! I'm so impressed!! And, I think it's amazing that she figured out that my dental issues were actually linked to poor digestion! I feel great knowing that I have a health consultant at my fingertips! Thank you Heewon!!!! Your knowledge and insight is so valuable! read more

I love HealtheeLife! Heewon is great, she's very knowledgeable and takes time to answer your questions. I had a digestion issue and Heewon put me on a regimen that included some supplements and within a month my digestion issue cleared and I'm continuing to do great still today! I also did the Food Sensitivity Testing to find out what types of food my body is weak to and is strong to. It's great info to have to help me change my diet to feel even better than what I considered good before! Wha hoo If you are having health issues (of any kind/degree) try Heewon first before a doctor. Combat your health issues the positive/natural way, instead of getting hyped up with drugs that mask the problem, fix it for good! I will always go to HealtheeLife to make sure my body is running at it's optimal best. I trust Heewon and HL to get me there! I'm so glad I found it! read more

The 1-2 star reviews on here are laughable to me. If you believe that GMOs are ok for human consumption and traditionally grown produce is just as good for you as organic, I'm not sure you're ready for a place like this, nor are you ready to take responsibility for your own health. I came here out of desperation. For many years I had "mystery" ailments doctors couldn't explain or treat. A gastroenterologist diagnosed me with celiac disease, Crohn's disease and ulcers. However, no amount of testing or drugs helped solve my problem. Then, when I started getting headaches, my Internist diagnosed the migraines I was getting as Lyme disease. Again, no amount of drugs helped. Finally, a friend urged me to get my thyroid checked as she said I was having symptoms similar to her own. After seeing 5 endocrinologists (yes, FIVE), I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. 4 of those 5 doctors told me I did not have a thyroid problem at all (and that my symptoms were in my head). After finally being diagnosed, that doc told me that I needed to have my thyroid removed. 3 different doctors agreed with his diagnosis. Why are our doctors SO quick to cut necessary organs out of our bodies?!? When I went to Heewon, I had a pretty major tumor on my thyroid and was willing to do anything to heal myself. Heewon did the test so many have commented on here and told me some things I didn't know. I am super sensitive to yogurt in particular which I had been eating a lot of. And I am sensitive to ALL grains (something I had not heard before. Most humans have gluten sensitivity, but certainly not to all grains). I was deficient in vitamin D and B (lab tests also confirmed this. For those that are so skeptical- go get lab tests and see that she's right on the money). After seeing HeeWon for the last year, I no longer have a tumor on my thyroid. My thyroid levels are now in a normal range and my antibody levels are WAY down. I did not realize how sensitive I am to chemicals- in our food, in our hygiene products, in our water. HeeWon is helping me get rid of the poison that was making me sick. She has taught me so much and is helping me completely heal myself. This woman will heal you too. read more

I had the opportunity to have private sessions at healthee life with heewon unnie~~one on one about my daily eating habits/issues. Within a short amount of time I spent with her, she gave me so much new information about foods that I've been eating all my life--or even in that one week--that were giving me problems. I didn't know why I was hungry all the time---after I got home from work..I would raid the fridge..obviously, because I wasn't giving my body fuel throughout the day-- she gave me tips on how to snack throughout the day------and gave me my own personal grocery list. I found out what types of food I should stay away from---within that one session too---this was pretty awesome. I didn't know that more than half the foods I've been eating were not compatible to me. But, since I ate so much of it..my body wasn't reacting to it very well. I think her advice/sessions will be something I will be applying to my life consistently. THANK YOU HEALTHEE LIFE!! read more

After seeing 2 dermatologists with an unknown skin issue (combination of eczema, insect bites, and itchiness), I was frustrated and spent trying to find a way to remedy my condition. That's when Heewon An had told me to come in asking me a series of questions focusing more on the "root" of the problem rather than just the symptoms. Through her rapid testing of various allergens, she was able to give me ANSWERS and probable causes of the condition. It did take work on my part to take my supplements, do a detox, and take some foods out of my diet... but, IT WORKED! My skin condition not only went away after only a couple of weeks, but my energy levels and skin complexion improved! If you're a little skeptical, trust me, you will be amazed by the techniques and treatment Healthee Life offers. I was. Your questions will be answered and you can feel confident that you are in the hands of someone that is truly concerned at getting at the root causes of the problem and not stopping til there's a plan to make improvements to your health. read more

Heewon is a lovely person whom I've felt very comfortable with and takes time to answer all of my questions. I wanted to try some type of alternative medicine since conventional medicine hasn't been able to treat me as well as I'd like. I had the opportunity to meet Heewon and found out that she practices alternative medicine and also has a background in nutrition. She incorporates eastern philosophies of medicine and manual muscle testing in a specific way called Applied Kinesiology. I was skeptical about AK until I was tested and instructed to do things that have actually continued to help me feel better. I'm now healing from a myriad of health problems by treating the cause of them, not just the symptoms. I'm no longer taking expensive drugs prescribed by my regular MD! Yea! read more

I always thought detoxes were stupid and grossly unhealthy. Who wants to drink lemon juice and cayenne pepper? However, the Fresh Start detox I did with Healtheelife was a GREAT investment. It may sound like a lot of money, but the Fresh Start detox was definitely money well spent. Heewon answered all of my questions and helped me with a menu for the duration of the whole program. The detox was the best thing I've done for my body. This is not an impossible program to do. It is a gradual way of being conscientious of the types of foods we put into our bodies and what kind of effects those foods have on our health, our skin, and our sleep! Through this program, my waistline got smaller, my complexion became brighter AND I slept the best I'd ever slept. We forget that the food we eat impacts all the facets of our lives, down to ever little thing. And doing the detox was undeniably great, the healthiest three weeks of my life! I'd recommend it to anyone! I also highly recommend the allergen test too. It's a simple way to find out what foods your body reacts well to so that it gives you optimum energy and which foods really just drain the life out of you. If you're ready for a change in your lifestyle, this is the one! read more

Heewon has helped me tremendously. Between her background in nutrition and knowledge of natural ways the body can heal itself, she offers a one-of-a-kind program that is tailored to your specific needs. I have learned so much about my body, nutrition and vitamins in general from her vast experience. I not only feel better, but I know that I'm on the right track with her program. I will definitely continue on this path with Heewon. She is a specialist in this and there is no one else out there like her! read more

I recently bought a Groupon for a food sensitivity test and I was extremely unimpressed. As soon as I walked through the door, I was greeted by a very unfriendly woman who proceeded to then do the most ridiculous tests on me. I very much doubt that by holding a small jar of liquid to my stomach and seeing how tight my grip was at the time could tell if I was sensitive to the food or not. I was given an awful and rushed explanation afterwards before they tried to sell me some tablets and I was on my way after just 15 minutes. If you want to be properly tested DO NOT GO HERE. This was one of the worst purchases I've ever made and a complete waste of time. read more

My old review was deleted...Heewon is an exceptionally talented healer in my opinion, a lot of natural health practitioners/healers have a one size fits all kind of mentality and dont really use real interpretation to discern what may be ailing you, or they just kind of go through the motions, but she understands the nuances of the healing process and its different variables extremely well and uses many different tools, products and schools of thinking in her practice. i have had a really mind-blowing experience here learning to combat and deal with years worth of highly complex and compounded bodily as well as emotional imbalances. I have been to other practitioners in LA and no one is as knowledgeable as this office, trust me...and this is not a supplement money-making place at all either as so many naturopathic clinics are where bullsh*t in-house products and services are pushed etc. truthfully, i am not sure where my health would be today were it not for this place. the power of self-healing is the most important thing, but they have given me so much knowledge that i could not have done without! I am not the same person I was before I started coming here--in the best, most profound sense of that statement. If things are physically (and/or emotionally?) not working well with you, in the realm of foods/diet, allergies, not feeling great but drs say nothing is wrong with you, etc etc., please try it here. Looking back at all the years of struggle, years of fatigue and brain fog, all the unanswered questions, all the frustrations of self-diagnosing, I am trying to write the review I would have wanted to find then. read more

Hee Won is fantastic! I met with her for the food allergy test originally and have been going back ever since. I've had a lot of experience with holistic healing and Hee Won is definitely among the best. She helps me maintain overall mental, physical, emotional health and I am a huge fan of the food allergy testing. I have experimented with a thousand different diet and lifestyle changes and the food allergy testing she provides is the only that consistently works for me and do-able for me to stick with. She is thorough, thoughtful and all around awesome! read more

Heewon has uncovered health issues that have caused me much pain for months. She uses a combination of Western nutrition and Eastern medicine to pinpoint which foods give or take away energy from your body, if any emotional trauma suffered earlier is playing a part in your health issues, and how any symptoms of health concerns can be traced back to the root of the problem and eliminated. I have seen doctors and specialists for my stomach and intestines and only Heewon has been able to treat my symptoms and uncover the real problem. I am so grateful, and I'll remain a client for a LONG time. read more

I had a groupon and was skeptical because I have spent thousands of dollars on doctor's visits, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, bodywork, going to healers, etc. - all to no avail. I have had muscle testing done before and it never changed anything. I have suffered from debilitating chronic fatigue for over 25 years. At Healthee Life I was specifically told to avoid sugar, corn, white flour products, coffee, eggs, as well as all cow's and goat's milk products. (BTW - if you go to a doctor's office for allergy testing, it's not the same thing. Allergy doctors aren't concerned about food sensitivities. They are only concerned about allergies - a food sensitivity is not considered an allergy.) ...I was also give two digestive aid supplements - which really helped. Within a few weeks, I lost 15 pounds and started to feel better. I had not intended on losing weight - I had given up trying to do after intermittent years of exercising and eating with fidelity. While I continue to be fatigued, it's a more natural version of fatigue from having an extremely demanding job as a special ed teacher, being a single mom with a daughter on a sports travel team, and living with pain from severe osteoarthritis. Eliminating the aforementioned foods worked wonders. A naturopath medical doctor I see from time to time informed me that he has many patients with the identical food intolerances and that it's becoming more and more common. I cheat from my diet from time to time - which is okay as long as I don't overdo it. While muscle testing may have no scientific basis in the medical profession, discovering that I had food sensitivities changed my life. It improved my energy, enabled me to lose weight (I've got 20 more pounds to go), and improved my health. (I don't get sick as often when everyone else around me has a cold or the flu). read more

This is definitely for people who are more open to non-traditional types of medicine (google NAET testing to get more of an idea what this is about), and I would normally say I'm an open-minded person, but it was tough to go along with this one. For one thing, I know that I'm very intolerant to dairy, wheat, etc...and without prefacing my test with any of this specific information, the test was able to "come up with" these sensitivities. That said, my skepticism remains as I was asked by the practitioner (immediately prior to starting the test) how my stomach and bowel movements are, to which I replied with a grimace "not good..." Now I wonder, if I had said "mostly fine," if the test would've produced different results (other than the vastly most common food sensitivities people have that cause "not good" stomach issues). There are a lot of variables here (one in particular being the tester's subconscious to my responses--I say subconscious because I do believe that she believed in what she was doing)... Anyway, I will give this 3 stars instead of 2 because I think they have good intentions, they believe in what they're doing, and their recommendations for B vitamins (for energy), food omissions to pinpoint sensitivities, and probiotics for gut support are good things in general...just not things I didn't already know before spending $50... I'd say, if you want to get to the root of your problems with a scientific approach, spend a little more and go see an integrative MD. read more
