Testimonials

Very empowering!

The Eating To Restore Balance program gave me what I needed to know about how my body uses food, how “good” vs “bad” affects me differently—down to my cells, inflammation, and that creates pain and low energy. I was inspired to change my eating habits in a way that is workable for me and my family. Very empowering. Thank you Marie!

Thank you for the encouragement

I really appreciated Marie’s encouragement and support for finding foods that fit in with my new lifestyle–I initially found it difficult to get enough veggies into my routine and this program helped me pay more attention. One beautiful result is I shed off 15 pounds over two months by following these suggestions; especially the recipes over at www.OurNutritionKitchen.com. Thank you!

Chest and Knee Pain

My biggest concerns when I first came to see Marie were pain in my chest and knees. After just a few visits my chest pain is gone. Knee pain is still there, but I will continue making changes to aid in that.

Knowing MY individual needs!

Looking at information on products before eating them has made me sleep better, leaner, and feel better! Its all about knowing what to put in your body!

The Eating to Restore Balance program changed my relationship with food

We’ve been told for years that grains are OK and sugar is never really mentioned. In Marie’s program, I learned about omega-3 and omega-6 fats, and other fats (even real butter!) that are healthful to our bodies. It’s nice to know that some things are great to eat if they are from healthful sources even though we’ve been told for years that we shouldn’t. I also learned that the organic label or at least local small farm practices like rotating crops and allowing soil replenishment is helpful for plants yet when it comes to animal and chicken meats (and eggs) it’s important to buy grass-fed, wild, or pastured as even organic grains can upset their balance too.

Inflammation, good vs bad

The body can heal itself with the right tools. Some inflammation is okay, but having it long term is not good. It’s important to pay attention to what causes inflammation.

Feeling Much Better!

Before implementing Marie’s nutrition program I had abdominal pain, more diarreah and bloating. Now following a no wheat diet I am feeling much better.

My immune system

When my immune system gets out of control I need to look at what I am eating. Some foods can be problematic and cause inflammation.

I know how to achieve optimal health!

When I first started with Marie I had a lot going on—and I knew I was lacking vitamins, I was diagnosed iron deficiency, but I had no idea which foods I should limit or which ones were beneficial.

Now I have goals! My iron deficiency has resolved, I feel like I’m getting the nutrition my body needs, and I know how to achieve optimal health.

When additional help is needed…

Sometimes what I know isn’t enough to get past health issues. I appreciate your support nutritionally to get control of them and to get better.

No More Thyroid Trouble

In February 2021 an endocrinologist gave me a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and that I should schedule radiation therapy immediately. That office called me every week to schedule this. I just didn’t want to destroy my thyroid or any organ; it doesn’t agree with my health philosophy.

I’d been working with Marie for several years. She’s super. I feel well and am not sure why hypothyroid or Graves was diagnosed based on TSH alone. Marie reviewed the symptom patterns (I had none of these) and recommended certain additional tests to see what was really happening.

Not only do I not have a thyroid issue, my Dr. also agrees. We’ll wait and watch. But the main point is that I have no symptoms and feel amazing.

Hugs to Marie!

Wheat in our diet

I learned that wheat is not a friend to my body. There are other options tho! Swap in quinoa, buckwheat, almond flour, sprouted organic grains.

I am worth making changes

Making my wellness a priority is important.  I am slowly making changes so I don’t overwhelm myself, but step by step I am heading in a better direction for being healthier.

No asthma; no more inhaler

At six months old, I was diagnosed with bronchial asthma. I used an inhaler for most of my early years and wound up in the emergency room 2-3 times a year to stop me from dying. It wasn’t until I found an expert in nutrition did we discover that that cow’s milk was the trigger for my asthma attacks. It was work adjusting to my elimination diet; but once we swapped out trigger foods I was able to do all the sports, all the “normal kid stuff”, all… and I haven’t used my inhaler in more than 5 years.

So informative; really helped me.

Marie, thank you for the wonderful Thanksgiving recipes! The pictures are beautiful and so are the recipes!!
After 21 years I no longer have a Candida imbalance thanks to your regimen. I had to change my eating habits but forget sometimes to keep cooking that way.  I’m very aware Candida imbalances can come back so I’m very careful of what I eat!

Thank you for being so kind to continue to send emails that remind us how to live supercharged instead of just plodding along.

Happy Thanksgiving  and thanks again! 🙂

My body responds to what I eat

I’ve learned that sugar is the #1 toxin in our diets. Our bodies respond via inflammation and sometimes fevers. Gluten is not the problem, glyphosates are. When I adjust what I eat and get tested for what my body prefers nutritionally I feel better.

Food Logs

Knowledge and education is powerful. There is a lot to learn about good nutrition. Understanding ‘healthy choices’ is important. Using the food log is a great resource to help show me if my food habits are good or need to be changed up.

I’m no longer a wreck!

When I first came to Marie I was a wreck. I wasn’t eating or sleeping. Emotionally I was breaking down several times a day. Now I feel like I’m taking more control. I’m sleeping more and eating better. Emotionally I’m not breaking down as frequently.

Eating Clean Helps!

Learning how to eat clean and still have variety, greatly reduced my symptoms.

Less Pain + More Energy

I have been dealing with a lot of stomach pain, bloody stools and minimal energy. After seeing Marie and implementing diet and supplement changes, I have more energy and much less to non existent pain. Still working towards 100% pain free.

Planning Ahead

I see how food choices have helped support my blood pressure and ringing in my ears. I also have supported my liver health by removing sugar from my diet. As a rule I know which foods support my body in good ways and try to stick to just eating those.
