I had my initial webcast appointment with Alex over three months ago. She thoughtfully went over my…read moremedical history, existing eating plan, and gave me the tools to monitor my progress via her app. Not only did we establish an eating plan together she took the time to explain how foods work in my body and how to use them to fuel harder parts of my days. We then continued progress checks every couple weeks with her constant feedback of my choices via the app. As time has progressed she has introduced meal planning, recipes, the importance of chia seeds, and gut health. This is the best investment I have made for myself and have and will continue to use her skills to help in establishing healthy eating habits. And the weightloss as a result isn't so bad either...averaging a pound a week.

I had a few appointments with Erica last year, and I ultimately left because I felt my time was…read morebeing wasted AND several recommendations made to be were not evidence based. What was frustrating to me is that some of the advice I received was useful and some of it was baloney! The first appointment was spent with the provider talking on and on and making generic recommendations, we didn't even go through my medical history! Then a few red flags popped up (recommended expensive, $300+, not covered by insurance DUTCH testing for "estrogen dominance" and other distractions to waste your money), and a real push for me to start seeing an ND even though I didn't want to. I'm just glad I checked with my gynecologist about the usefulness of the test (it's not useful) before wasting my money! I did find the staff to be kind and personable, hence the two stars instead of one. They may be helpful if you are looking to incorporate more veggies in your diet, but not for any management of actual medical conditions.

She is patient, has…read moregreat breadth of knowledge. and yet she explains things to me in a simple way that I can utilize. I thought a nutritionist would lecture me on not eating enough vegetables and make me feel guilty for eating a doughnut occasionally; boy was I wrong! They support your decisions and gently couch you to making better nutritional choices and lifestyle changes to make you feel better, based on what's best for you. They don't just choose a diet and tell you it's what you need to do! So happy that they are my partner in creating the best version of myself.

I'd recommend Dr. Laura to anyone who wants to dig deeper into nutrition and wellness.

This review of Michael at Nutrition with Heart is very overdue! I've been seeing Michael for a bit…read moreover two years now, I've lost over 40 pounds and kept it off but that's less important that what Ive gained, and that is so much more than can ever be expressed fully. I gained belief in my ability to take charge of my health by believing in the science of Michaels approach, I gained self-love, respect and acceptance as I worked through some tough issues that kept me static for a bit, I gained a champion in my corner always, someone who approaches with courage, connection and grace while not being afraid to prod you a bit, to motivate you to question your false beliefs about health, weight loss, life, yourself. The support I've felt with Michael has been life changing. He has made a huge difference in my health life, I've never felt more supported and accepted by a healthcare provider who truly cares about his clients lives whether we're talking nutrition or just life. I've never felt restricted, there's no "diet" plan, there's just complete acceptance of where you are in your journey in this moment. There've been tears, ridiculous amounts of laughter, a whole lot of realness and everything in between and I wouldn't change a moment of my experience with Nutrition with Heart If you want to finally gain control of your nutrition and exercise, you will not find a more supportive, engaging, connected and community focused team. Thank you NWH!

Regular check-ins keep us accountable and our conversations are always encouraging and wholesome, we highly recommend Michael for anyone who's looking to step up their nutrition game!

Maria has been extraordinary in helping me in my journey to be as healthy as I can be!…read more I began working with Maria Faires, RD owner of Active Nutrition Fitness in December for mountaineering training to help me prepare for climbing Mt. Hood through the American Lung Association-Climb for Clean Air program. Maria is both a dietitian and personal trainer, so she has helped me identify lifestyle habits that needed some adjustments with both my nutrition and my fitness workouts. She designed an awesome program for me to keep my nutrition in check and monitor my body composition values. I've lost unneeded weight, body fat, and gained important lean muscle mass! And it has been easy. One of my goals was to lose a few pounds before my climb so she has helped me adjust my nutrition so that I can both lose the weight and train at a high level. She has provided me with sports nutrition guidance for my mountaineering and given me easy, healthy recipes, meal, and snack ideas. It's been easy to follow...and I am a single bachelor! She truly cares about me and my health and is always there to consult with me, give me kudos for accomplishments, and she keeps me accountable! Climbing Mt. Hood is a goal I sent several months ago but didn't know how to accomplish it at the time. Maria's help is making this a reality!

Every time I needed help with my nutrition (food stress, confusion and questions about vitamins,…read moreetc), my doctors were less than helpful. My doctors commented about how I was fatigue because I was "aging" (I'm 32) or that my body could not get energy because of my last pregnancy. The doctors were NOT what I needed. I needed wisdom from an actual NUTRITIONIST. I was mad that I was not getting any kind of encouragement or even preventive advice to point me towards feeling GOOD in my body. I needed a change so I decided to try a session with Shelly Najjar. THANK GOD, I finally decided to give Shelly a shot. I juggled back and forth whether I should try counseling with Shelly Najjar, but when I finally decided to have ONE counseling session with her, it was worth every penny. She listened on the phone with me and we even did Google Chat together. She heard my frustrations and is guiding me to take actual practical steps for what WORKS for my body. She works towards goals. She's professional. She's knowledgeable and she GIVES me the tools that I need. Thank you, Shelly!
