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.

I can't recommend Andrea enough. She quickly identified my weak spots and has worked with me to…read morestrengthen them -- I feel noticeably better overall, and pain from overworking certain muscles has subsided. Her workouts always challenge me just the right amount, never too easy or overwhelming. She also made eating well feel manageable by breaking it into clear, personalized goals instead of one vague plan. Everything she does is tailored to me specifically, and it shows in the results. Five stars, easily.

Working with Andrea has been one of the best investments I've made in my health. She has helped me…read morestay accountable to my strength training in a way that's both motivating and sustainable. Rather than expecting perfection, she focuses on small, realistic changes to my nutrition that have naturally led to better daily decisions and long-term habits. What truly sets her apart is how she shows up every single session. She meets me with compassion and flexibility on the days when life is heavy and I genuinely need to adjust. But she also knows me well enough to recognize when I'm simply making excuses--and that's when she challenges me to push through. That balance of empathy and accountability has made all the difference. I leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and supported. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress and knows exactly when to encourage you and when to push you, I can't recommend Andrea enough.

I can't recommend Lauren enough-- the experience truly changed my life. After trying MANY times to…read morelose weight on my own and failing, I finally invested in a Personal Trainer-- Lauren was recommended to me by a friend. I began with her at 183 pounds, and 6 months later I was down to 141! She taught me how to properly fuel my body, and didn't let me make excuses when things got hard. Lauren doesn't just help you lose the weight, she teaches you a whole new lifestyle. I was completely ignorant about nutrition before working with her. The experience has made me a better woman, mother, and wife. I have energy again, and I feel good about myself for the first time in 10+ years. I NEVER anticipated being a person who enjoyed working out-- but I CRAVE going to the gym now. Working with Lauren was one of the absolute best investments I have EVER made. If you're on the fence, just hop to the other side and give her a call. She's extremely down to earth, meets you where you're at, and works hard to personalize your individual experience!

Lauren is so great to work with. She really maintains perspective of her clients' goals. For me, I…read morehad no interest in competitions. I just wanted to lose body fat, get down to a good body fat percentage, and build new habits to allow me to live a flexible and social life while maintaining a healthy and fit physique. Over the course year year I saw great results in weight and inches lost. It was so refreshing to go in to see her over the course of a month and a half or so and see inches lost around my belly and waist while not necessarily seeing a change in the scale. She reassured me that consistency is key over and over. I had such a great experience and recommend Lauren to anyone.

I found Jen after years of trying every diet and feeling so discouraged. She has taught me so much…read moreand has encouraged me every step of the way. I no longer feel the need to restrict myself or avoid "bad" foods. I have a totally new outlook on food and understand how to nourish my body. While my main goal was to lose weight, I quickly noticed I was having other improvements as well, like more energy, less allergy symptoms, and less anxiety. Jen gave me so much hope during our first session, and every session after she genuinely cared about how I was feeling and made sure I was comfortable with the plan we discussed. She was also always available to offer support if I had a question or was struggling with anything in between sessions. If you are thinking about working with Jen, do it! She's the best!

I was lucky to stumble upon Jen at a random salon appointment. I overheard her talking to a stylist…read moreabout health/wellness and immediately grabbed my attention. I am always interested in health topics and how it can benefit me. Also, turns out she's a friend of a friend, so a connection meant to be :) We exchanged numbers, and I called her shortly after to talk about nutrition. I was having some issues with gut/bloating and headaches. Jen helped change subtle things in my diet to help with those issues. However, it turns out she quickly realized my underlying issue was not my diet as much as my perspective on food, health, and mindfulness. She created a plan to help change perspective, as well, focus on mind/body through meditation along with making different choices in life. Jen isn't just a nutritionist on food but also brings focus on other issues like stress, anxiety, etc and how to manage that along with food. Thank you Jen!

They also administered a glutathione inhaler. I am thankful to have this resource in North County who has helped me with not just seasonal sicknesses but is also a great resource for other medical issues for which I don't want to use traditional medical doctors. They're easy to get in with and are extremely knowledgeable about naturopathic methods to cure what ails you.

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!

I sought out a professional dietician and nutritionist because I have not been able to maintain an…read moreexercise routine as a result of my lupus symptoms becoming worse and more frequent. I also wanted to resolve frequent headaches, sleep interruption, heartburn and occasional gastrointestinal issues. These issues seem to have compounded one another over the past 3 years. I wasn't sure what to expect but Donna Wolf guided me in gathering health and testing information to determine the appropriate plan to resolve my issues. I had previously tried other food and diet programs, but I had never attempted a plan that was specific to my symptoms and medical diagnosis. Based on my MRT blood test results and autoimmune condition I was but on the LEAP protocol. Over the course of 5 months I have followed the plan as directed and am pleased to have resolved 49 of my 62 symptoms and have lost 23 pounds. I attribute this to Donna's approach to first use data to identified the appropriate supplements and plan to target the problem areas, then the education and resource information she provides to help you really understand how and why this approach works, and finally the accountability tools provided to help you stick to the plan and overcome challenges. I would recommend Healthy Directions For You for those who feel stuck and frustrated. This was a whole new approach that opened my mind to a new way of thinking about the importance of managing stress, sleep, movement, and food in order to heal your body. The LEAP protocol and additional care provided by Donna taught me how to meditate, de-stress, sleep well, find new ways to exercise, and try new food combinations that I really enjoyed.

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.

I have done chemo, radiation, everything under the sun. About 6 months ago, I came across Dr. Stenglers office a more alternative/holistic side of healing. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Stengler's office. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by an amazing staff who truly make you feel welcome and cared for. The facility is always spotless, which makes a big difference when you're spending time there. The team is incredibly knowledgeable--honestly beyond belief--and they take the time to explain things in a way that makes you feel confident and informed. Appointments are always timely, and you never feel rushed. What stands out the most is how much they genuinely care about their patients. You're not just another appointment on the schedule, they really take the time to check in and support you. The infusion room is another highlight: it's calm, quiet, and has such a friendly atmosphere that makes the experience so much more comfortable. The nurse Greta, is beyond sweet and really takes time to make you feel welcomed. I meet with Dr. Stengler and Dr. LaBeau often and I truly look forward to the days I get to go. Which says a lot, considering the last place I want to be is at another appointment. I highly recommend. I wish I would've came here when I was first diagnosed. I have told everyone I know about this team and I pray they listen and go check them out. There is so much information out there, the staff here will help you with a treatment tailored to YOU, YOUR body and YOUR healing.
