Testimonials

Knowledge is Power!

Thank you Marie! I was so frustrated on my weight and cravings. By following your online Eating to Restore Balance program and guidance with my individual nutritional needs, I’ve been able to lose weight, have less back pain, and do so much more. And my blood pressure is now in a healthy range. Your help and guidance is appreciated.

Functional nutrition explained my lab results—they were *not* “normal”

Remarkable! Learning that I had chronic inflammation (based on metabolic panel (CMP) and complete blood count (CBC with differential) and then using Nutrition Response Testing to dial into the main cause… which was a long-term infection that lived “below the radar”. Help with dietary additions that could heal and seal my gut. Beautiful. I have so much more energy and am out doing more.

Get healthy, get pregnant

Hi – I wanted to loose weight and improve my health so I could have a healthy pregnancy. I learned that many of my habits were not supporting these goals which is likely why my husband and I couldn’t get pregnant for years of fun trying. At first, I didn’t want to make changes in my normal habits and routines and thought supplements alone would solve all. Well… now that I understand it is 80 percent habits and routines and 20 percent appropriate supplements… after hunkering down for some months I am pregnant. Actually 8 months pregnant and my midwife is loving my nutritional program, my health, and the health of my baby. I love this program and love Marie for all her support achieving my goals.

Healthier Eating

I was not sure how to eat healthier and now, I have a much better handle on it. I do believe I can get even better with it.

The constant pain is gone!!!

Before seeing Marie, my joint pain was terrible and all the time, especially my hands. I had rashes on my neck, breasts, hips that my doctor said could be autoimmune. I had low to no energy and a hard time sleeping through the night.

I feel so much better!!! Almost NO joint pain, perhaps a little stiffness. Sleep is great. I’m much happier now that I’m not in constant pain and the inflammation is so much better.

Handling my allergies was HUGE!

All my days were rough,I woke up after disturbed sleep with allegies and extreme moods that just got worse as the day went on. I ate (mostly) crap.

Most of this is gone. My hot flashes are less frequent, I sleep well (mostly), and my moods are like a normal person. All that after just six weeks. Thank you Marie! That was huge!!

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.

Eat Clean

I’m being reminded that some f0ods cause inflammation in the body. I also see that stress can detract from a good diet so I will work on that. Watching to see how foods affect my energy and food, then will make more adjustments.

IBS Gone!!!

IBS was a big problem for me and it controlled a large portion of my days. I also was dealing with lightheadedness frequently. Now my IBS is minimal and seems to be directly related to my diet. My lightheadedness is very infrequent as well.

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.

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.

FEELING SO MUCH BETTER!

Before I started the Clinical Nutrition Program I was in very bad health. Now I am better that I was before. I need more time to work on my health to feel even better. After only 3 months I can only say thank you so much Marie!

In Person Learning

I’ve found that you provide details that help fill in the gaps in regard to what I eat. I’ve been able to stick with my improved food choices much more.

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.

We’ve been told for decades sugar is OK and fat is bad–it’s the opposite!

During Marie’s Eating to Restore Balance program, I got a great understanding of how grass family seeds (wheat, oats, corn, rice, rye, barley etc.) are doing to our bodies and systems. By understanding how these things are harming us, it is easier to stay away from them. The recipes using alternate flours from www.OurNutritionKitchen.com were extremely helpful and delicious. Additionally, knowing that fats are actually good for us, which ones and why, is eye-opening. We’ve been told for years to avoid fat–fat is bad. This gave me a wider variety of foods to use and eat. As I write this, I realized the program was so robust there is nothing more I need to know to make choices that support my health

Lack of smell and taste…

When I first started seeing Marie I had a lack of smell and taste. I was also heavier weight wise. After just a couple of months, I am getting some of my taste back and I have lost some weight. On the right path!

Pain Is Gone!

When I first came to see Marie the pain in my knees was an 8 out 0f 10 and now it is a ZERO! Dietary and supplement changes for a win.

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.

Loose weight, end the cravings

If you’re tired of starving to loose weight and want to eat to achieve a healthy body and spirit, the Eating to Restore Balance program is the best. My awful sugar cravings are gone. My brain fog is gone. The mysterious (well, to the 5 doctors who saw me) skin rash is gone. Anyway, this food plan (it’s not a diet because you’re never hungry) is perfect. I was never before able to get the weight to drop off and now it’s coming off.

UNHAPPY GUT!!

Before coming to see Marie my gut was very unhappy.  I had bad diarrhea and felt stress in my wrists and shoulders. Current providers were unable to give me answers to my questions and concerns.

My gut and body feel better now than they have in 8 years. I’ve learned my stomach pain was caused by certain food intolerances. Solving these, I’m feeling stronger and so much more more energetic.

My son is sleeping!

For the first time in four years our son is sleeping through the night. This is HUGE. I’m no longer getting “pick him up now” calls from day care because he’s misbehaving. I’m beginning to lead a normal life. Thank you, Marie, for being so caring and patient. I know it was all from his digestive issues and you are our personal hero for helping us solve them. There is nothing better than seeing our son begin to enjoy his life.
