She was just as enthusiastic about my desire for a wellness journey, to not turn me off. Some of you might know what I mean. Once I met her, I was pleasantly surprised by her energy and what seemed like a true desire for me to get myself to the goal I had set for myself. Before my RLT I learned about the SSG program and how she thought it might be worth considering. She was right. She had truly LISTENED to me. Before long we were discussing Step 1 of SSG. I have now just completed my 2nd week. Her counseling and tips for helping me overcome some of my roadblocks to previous programs, has truly helped me to make it this far. I'm down almost 9lbs, but better than that my MBI is coming down, and I'm already close to my 1st goal which was to be at 50%fat & 50%leanfat. My journey will be long but I really appreciate that Miriam doesn't rush me. She is just supporting my own journey & goals. Thank you for helping me begin again, a wellness journey that will make my older years survivable and healthier.

Many people say that I'm the healthiest person they know - I eat super clean and I exercise…read morefrequently. Still, I have struggled with chronic physical and mental fatigue, malaise, brain fog and a number of other physical manifestations. For years, I have seen doctor after doctor - MDs and Naturopathic Doctors (NDs). I even sought out one of the best endocrinologists in the greater Seattle area and I continued to be told that my symptoms are normal for a 30 year old. The MDs referred me to tons of specialists who treated me for symptoms, but no one was looking at the underlying cause. I was referred to Dr. Elena from my ND for IV infusions to boost my immune system. I have a lot going on - hypothyroidism, hormone imbalances, persistently high Epstein-Barr lab values, low immune system lab values and more. Dr. Elena sat down with me for an hour through every IV infusion and asked about my history, how my treatment has been going and brainstormed ideas about how my treatment could be improved. I was truly feeling hopeless about my deteriorating health and body. Dr. Elena collaborated with my ND and other NDs regarding my treatment plan. I have felt so much more optimistic working with professionals that are sharing knowledge and expertise to help me improve. Dr. Elena is professional, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. My situation is complex, but I am starting to feel much better. I was kind of skeptical about the IV infusions helping me, but they really do make a huge difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Elena. If you have been searching for answers, Dr. Elena cares about finding out the root cause and working with you to improve your quality of life.

I really can't say enough good things about Jeannie! She truly understands nutrition and has a very…read morewell rounded approach to helping her clients find the right balance THAT WORKS FOR THEM. She has an intuitive ability to strike the right balance between mental, physical and emotional health while helping to support daily eating habits. She is also non judgmental which helped me feel even more secure with her abilities. She has a wealth of knowledge and adds to this with her podcast that is chock full of very informative yet down to earth guests. (I know everyone has a podcast these days, but hers is really special!) Schedule a coffee talk and look into her podcast, trust me!

I've been working with Jeannie for over a year now because I trust her expertise. I first met her…read moreover a complimentary "coffee chat" where we discussed my specific concerns and goals. I'm in the midst of my second program of hers, the 21 day detox. This is going to be tough as it's the first time I've done something like this - she has been encouraging and has went above and beyond to support me along the way. I've recommended my 65 year old dad to her. She's someone you can trust - I appreciate her holistic knowledge regarding health and wellness. She cares about her clients. Thank you Jeannie!

I have nothing but great things to say about Natalie!…read more I have bounced back and forth between binge eating and extreme dieting for most of my adult life. When I found Natalie, I had just come off a round of extreme dieting and was looking for a more balanced look at nutrition. I had heard of Intuitive Eating in the past but had sort of dismissed it because as I told Natalie on our first call: "Clearly, your intuition is telling me to eat different things than my intuition." I worked with Natalie for about 6 months and I can say for a fact that the person I was when I met her and the person I am now are two completely different people (in the best way). I'm still a work in progress and probably always will be, but I can say with absolute certainty that I'm a better version of myself than before I met Natalie. If you have been struggling with food, if you've never experienced a life where food didn't rule you in one way or another and are reading this, I highly encourage you to reach out to Natalie. She is the most non-judgmental of humans and you will immediately feel at ease in her (virtual) presence.

I really enjoyed working with Natalie. She was so patient, thoughtful, and considerate throughout…read moreour interactions and I felt like I made tangible progress in my understanding of my relationship with food and to my body. Natalie always had a constructive idea or suggestion to problems I was working through and was especially helpful helping me think about fueling as an athlete. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to better understand how and why they eat what they eat and feeling more in touch with their eating habits.

Non-judgmental, Mary works with people to figure out practical solutions that work. I have done two detoxes with Mary as well as numerous consultations.

She has helped me…read morethrough the practical and emotional barriers to celiac disease and more recently a thyroid disorder. She always sends me home with a write up of what we discussed, recipes, and a fresh outlook on my health. My favorite thing about Mary is how she treats me. I have never felt pressured to eat my weight in kale or follow some nutrition plan I didn't feel good about. She asks questions about my preferences and likelihood of preparing foods so that it's a co-created plan. Her witty and spunky personality is so comforting, not to mention how sensitive she is to my "relationship with my body".

My sennin-so shiatsu practitioner gave me a gift certificate to visit Heidi at Nourish and Revive…read moreawhile back. I had a phone screen and two onsite visits with Heidi when she was still at her Northgate location back in November 2017. Ancient Yelp post, I know. She has since then moved to her Lynnwood location. I underwent the screening and paid out of pocket for the lab work up. She was very thorough, personable, and passionate about her profession. Upon first meeting, you knew she really cared about your well-being and listened to your concerns. I ended up with a lot of information to digest, but in the end I did not pursue one of her tailored programs. What I did greatly appreciate though seven months later, there was no pressure and the information provided enough guidance for me to make tangible changes in my diet and lifestyle.

I've been working with Heidi for almost a year. I first saw her when I was struggling to recover…read morefrom a virus that had lingered for months -- it seemed like every time I started to feel better, I'd have a setback and feel tired and miserable again. I started feeling some improvements within a month and by four months was feeling so much better than I've felt in years. To be honest, the foods Heidi told me I needed to avoid.. I already knew I should avoid. But, what really helped me were the things she had me add to my diet, both whole foods and supplements. Many of us have tried dietary changes that center on what you can't have. If you're like me, you focus on what you can't have or can't do, and eventually your will power fades. It helped that Heidi handed me a list of foods I actually like to focus on eating, but really what made it doable is that Heidi is very kind and doesn't expect or want perfection from you. When I have a hectic week or am traveling and can't make ideal meal choices, I am able to rely on my supplement regime to fill in the gaps. These days my health and energy level are a little up and down (depending on how closely... or not... I follow Heidi's recommendations, so there's a NYE resolution somewhere in that). When I was following my plan pretty strictly, my primary care doctor was so thrilled with the improvement in my health that she said she wasn't going to ask questions about what I was doing because she loved the results. :)

After some quick evaluation, Ashley pointed out that a ton of flaws in my diet. While it was all healthy to begin with, it was low on carbs and not nearly enough calories to sustain my workout load. Most people tend to think that an RD is to help you lose weight, but Crave Health helped me in a whole different way. The plan put together for me was with my heavy workout load in mind without being too disruptive. I was injury free for the next 4 months and got my best time in my last half-marathon. Recently, I've been going to lose fat without necessarily losing weight. Ashley got me a modified plan and kept tabs on my progress during our visits. I have lost 2% body fat (from 19 to 17% and on my way to reach 15% goal). I have not experienced the challenges from another reviewer in scheduling appts. I work late and Crave Health has a couple of days where they take appts until late afternoon. Scheduling has been easy over email. Check your insurance and you might find out a few visits are covered in your plan. I do recommend Crave health and I'm still a client.

Only down size is cost. It isn't cheap but if you are super committed and you can reach your goal, totally worth it! I've lost 85 lbs in 9 months so far.

One of the technicians actually said, "Well if you eat a cheese burger or pizza the fat will go right back to where it came from!" The other technician sounds like a chain-smoker and didn't understand any of the "science" behind what she was selling, either. There are healing benefits from red light therapy, but wasting your money here is just that...a waste.

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!
