    When I first met Talya I was 25 with a history of binge eating as far back as I can remember. As a…read moreresult of this and the emotional barricades upholding it I'd been running myself arid with anxiety and bouts of depression. That was over a year ago and I truly feel like a changed person. Talya has been a cooling balm from the moment I met her. Her teachings showed me how to take responsibility for my health and ultimately how to mature as an individual. Not only is Talya incredibly wise and intelligent she is outstandingly sweet and warm. She is a rare treasure indeed. You will leave her office feeling like you'd been with a mystic healer. Talya has cultivated her craft of helping other people and everyone can benefit both physically and mentally from her advice. That is so long as people are ready to accept the healing journey. Talya offers classes online and in-person sessions for one-on-one advice. I highly recommend having a session with her first and then taking her classes. Although I don't think it is necessary, it makes the classes much more personalized. Her classes are wonderfully detailed and thorough and offer much healing information. By having a session with her first you can take her classes knowing yourself better and apply the advice that is personal to you. Sending healing vibes your way. Hare Krishna! With Love, Natalie Black

    A friend of mine in Santa Cruz got the flu and I wish I could have brought them some Chicken Soup,…read morebut since I live in SF I couldn't do that. So Talya made her delicious and health (healing) chicken soup and delivered it for me to my friend. She even took a picture of the jars that she left on my friend's door step (love that, what a sweet and caring touch) I so appreciate Talya's amazing cooking and the care with which she delivered the food and left a little note for my friend on my behalf. Ordering the food and email communication with her was very easy. My friend loved the soup and is on the mend. Thank you for your love, support and amazing healing food.

She is very educated and answered all my questions in depth with great attention to detail, displaying her through knowledge of her field. She gave different ways of managing the cleanse depending on your individual lifestyle and body, making it doable for really anyone. I went into the cleanse feeling confidant about what I was doing and that I would be able to manage the diet without any stress, particularly as I have young children to take care of. I highly recommend Jackie and look forward to working with her again in the future.

    The Healthy Way

    The Healthy Way is the only program that integrates sound dietary knowledge, support,…read moreaccessibility, and staff commitment. It is a place that anyone would feel at ease, as everyone I have met and/or worked with is truly caring and invested in guiding you towards whatever your personal goals are. As a nurse myself, I had done a lot of reading related to food and nutrition in order to build upon what I had learned over the years, and I thought I was generally proficient. Intellectually I had some solid tools, but emotionally I was struggling with my weight and couldn't figure it out after a lot of personal examination and reflection. I was so convinced my weight gain was due to perceived health conditions, menopause related stuff, extreme stress that I'd experienced recently, etc. I resisted asking for, much less paying for, help. I will say this: it's the best personal and financial investment I have made, period. It was simple: it really was the food, and the way I was utilizing it every day. The program is completely holistic in that although the program is food focused, the positive side effects include feeling so GOOD physically and emotionally. It's a cliche but it's been six weeks, I've lost an average of 3 lbs/week and it has already changed my life. What sets the Healthy Way apart is the fact that they are committed to your HEALTH, which encompasses more than weight loss. This is the first time that I felt like I have learned the proper tools that have me set for life. I have discovered how bad I felt with certain foods that were not necessarily unhealthy, but for whatever reason were not working for me. Some basic thoughts on the program: 1. Anyone can do it. My schedule is crazy, I commute, and they outline everything so you can build it into your life. 2. Financially it is completely do-able. They have different plans, are flexible and this program is the ultimate form of self care. 3. Convenience: it's here in town! You can also do an online program. Counselors can do phone appointments as well as in person. They don't push products or other foods, and there's a store inside and some key items I buy are cheaper there than the grocery store. This program covers every possible life scenario. 4. The program is supported by the medical community. It's not junk science or cult like and weird. You don't need to unpack your life story to find success here. It's grounded in integrity and it works, and it's centered around normal food, not pre packaged items. It is individualized and your program can change at any time based on your needs. 5. Cheri, the owner, is so passionate about health....everyone's health! What she's created, along with the staff there, is incredible and enduring. They make you want to get on the scale-if you can believe that. They make it easy because they're so supportive, there's no shame ever and they have a plan for everything. Accountability is not a horrible thing. I'm so grateful for every single staff member. I can keep going but the bottom line is, I fully endorse this program for anyone who is ready to invest in themselves, who is ready to discover the path towards their own health. When I think about it, the Healthy Way is the best kept secret.

    Nice people and very straight forward in what is happening…read more I've lost over 35 pounds in three months, and on my way to losing more. I believe with their help and suggestions I can accomplish that and maintain the weight by following the advice I was given and it will be daily and close to what I am doing now. They offer a variety of protein products but never push them. The products they have do help with my diet. I eat at least five meals a day but small amounts. Once you start it's easy to follow. You can also get appetizer suppressants that helps you from craving foods that you are used to eating, lucky for me I don't need them since I know what to stay away from. If you want to lose weight quickly without all the nonsense then I highly recommend this place. So far I have been sticking to my diet and workout plan and the results I am seeing are phenomenal - thank you

I was able to cease my acid reflux medications, lower my blood pressure, lose weight, drop my resting pulse & ease the stress on my joints. Cinching up my belt 4 notches and fitting into 15 year old clothes was a telltale sign of the success of this program! I can't say enough about the quality of this program. It's not a weight loss program (though that's a benefit), but rather a lifestyle modification program.

    I waited 6 months to start this program after hearing about it from a friend who had lost 80 pounds…read moreon it. I was skeptical it could work for me, as I have vowed to stay away from diets, with my only results (from Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, LoseIt app, juicing, etc) being minor success with ultimately gaining back all the weight and then some. It was also important to me to only do something truly healthy. I finally took the plunge and all I can say is: WOW!! I feel fantastic. My body has lost the inflammation and joint pain and I have lost 52 pounds so far in 7 months. The program is healthy, doable, affordable, and doesn't require willpower - only 100% commitment and discipline, easily given with such great results. For the first time in my life, I look forward to getting on the scale each week. I get to eat chocolately and other sweet things - no deprivation here. Dr. Tom offers the holy grail on healthy, fast, permanent weight loss. I wish doctors and the medical community would learn from him because it's NOT a matter of counting calories and increasing exercise, as falsely promoted by the medical establishment. Dr. Tom shares what he knows - the education component is fantastic. Also, his psychospiritual approach embraces the whole person during the process. He is a brilliant person, a gifted doctor, and has developed a pitch perfect program for a safe, healthy, fast return to excellent health; including body weight and composition.
