 I look forward to having your success story here!

 

I recommend her to everyone!

“I owe my life to this woman!  I was suffering from brain dysfunction that deeply concerned me. At age 38, I was seriously worried that I was experiencing early onset dementia. I couldn’t remember the simplest things and was having a hard time finishing sentences, because I had to focus on what I was going to say next. It was really scary and depressing that my mind was slipping at such a young age. After my first conversation with Val about my symptoms, she told me she suspected my symptoms were due to inflammation caused by a reaction to foods I may be sensitive to and recommended I do a food sensitivity test.  The results of the test indicated that I was highly sensitive to gluten and dairy.  Val told me which foods I needed to eliminate to avoid inflaming my brain. I was desperate and was willing to try anything, so I avoided gluten and dairy and couldn’t believe the change in my body and brain after only 5 short days. I went from having chronic back pain and feeling groggy, lethargic, and semi-depressed to incredibly cognizant, energetic, productive and pain-free.  Over the next few months, I lost 25 lbs, and noticed a positive shift in my personalty.  My loved ones noticed a huge change in me! Because of the dietary changes that have positively impacted my mood and behavior, my business is doing 10 times better. I feel unstoppable, like I can do anything I put my mind to! This has truly been life-changing for me! I feel so grateful to Val for helping me uncover my true self. Understanding that those foods were setting my brain on fire with inflammation has helped me to understand that I can never eat those foods again. I liken it to my allergy to poison oak. What poison oak does to me on the outside, gluten and dairy does to me on the inside. Just like I’m going to have a horrible reaction if I have a small exposure to poison oak, I know I’m going to suffer significant brain inflammation if I eat even a small amount of gluten or dairy. Val is caring and has a passion for helping people, and I’m am so grateful to her for giving me my life back. I can honestly say I feel happier and healthier than I’ve ever felt in my life thanks to the knowledge I gained from working with Val. This experience has been so life-enriching for me that I plan to continue working with Val. I recommend her to everyone, because life is too short to not be living the best life you can live. She is a genius!  If you need help, call her.  I promise you’ll be happy you did!”

Working with Val has been life-changing for me!

“My childhood was less than ideal, and my parents, while they did the best they could, were not great role models. I was disadvantaged nutritionally throughout my developmental years and my diet was sadder than SAD. Having been raised on processed foods (like Hamburger Helper) without fresh fruits or vegetables, I needed a lot of help. A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with osteopenia. Val encouraged me to do weight-bearing exercises regularly and to take the right dietary supplements to restore my bone density. I was elated last month when my bone scan showed an improvement in my bone density!  I felt encouraged to push myself by lifting heavier weights to build and strengthen my bones. Val not only provided education about eating a whole foods diet with healthy fats, she helped me to understand how nutrients are critical to my body and brain’s functioning and overall sense of wellbeing. Today I feel great at age 62, and I attribute much of my good health to my good dietary habits, yoga, aerobic activity, and weight lifting, which I’ve adopted based on Val’s recommendation. Last but not least, Val has helped me stabilize my emotional health. Being a daughter of an alcoholic father and a mother who was simply trying to survive her husband's outrageous anger from day to day while dealing with her own mental health issues, I had a lot of emotional baggage. Val listened intently and little by little gave me information to consider that eventually led me to forgive and restructure my thinking to a more healthy pattern. It actually frightens me to think where I would be today without her nutrition, lifestyle, and psychological interventions. How grateful I am for her influence in my life!”

Val has helped me improve my health

I was really struggling with an immune dysfunction when I reached out to Val for help. It seemed I was constantly sick and I needed to figure out why my immune function was flagging. I thought I was getting all the nutrients my body needed from my diet, which I thought was pretty decent, but I realized that I wasn’t getting many of the nutrients in the amounts necessary to support good health. I was a true skeptic when it came to supplements and believed they were a waste of money. Val has helped me improve my health with dietary changes by including more whole foods and eliminating high-glycemic, processed foods. She also recommended supplements that have truly helped me to rebuild my health and immune system. I am post menopausal and have osteoporosis. Val’s recommendations for improving my bone density have been very helpful. I feel encouraged, because I now understand it is possible to rebuild bone density through weight bearing exercise and nutrients that support bone health. I am excited to say that my last bone density test showed increased bone density thanks to Val’s recommended interventions!”

Val has absolutely changed my life for the betteR

Valerie has absolutely changed my life for the better, and I cannot thank her enough! She really cares about your body’s health, functionality, and well being. She was willing to listen and go beyond what my family doctor was ever willing to do. I am a 21 year old female and sought help from Val when I was extremely depressed, hypothyroid, and had to take three months off work because I was so ill. I was just being prescribed high doses of antidepressants in an attempt to mask the problems I was presenting to my doctor. She has guided me through the road to recovery and educated me along the way. I’ve learned crazy things about my body and lifestyle and how they effect the bigger picture. I am still a work in progress but am so happy that I’ve lost 40 pounds so far, Thanks to Val’s amazing insight and help, I have been able to return to work and discontinue the antidepressant I was taking to get me through each day! If you can keep an open mind and really want to do what is best for your body and health, I absolutely recommend partnering with Val. It just might change your life!

Thanks to Val “I can’t believe this is my life!”

It is an understatement to say that I was a mess when I reached out to Val for help. I was extremely depressed and anxious and wasn’t functioning well enough to work on a regular basis. I was drinking a lot to numb the emotional pain and quell the anxiety. I was suffering from maldigestion, and acid reflux, and every time I ate anything, I was doubled over in pain. I had gained a lot of weight and was so tired, I had no motivation to exercise. I had lost interest in things I used to love to do. I was not enjoying life, and at times, wondered if it was worth living. Val helped me to resolve my gut issues, educated me so I understood how to go about changing my diet to support my mood, and taught me meditation techniques that helped to calm me when I was feeling anxious, and encouraged me to exercise and cut down on alcohol, which was depressing me further. Since I’ve done everything Val recommended, my gut issues have resolved, and my mood is so much better. I can’t believe I’m energetic and motivated!!! My life has changed so dramatically that I woke up one morning and thought, “I can’t believe this is my life!” I never dreamed I could feel so happy and healthy, and yet, here I am living a life beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you, thank you, thank you Val!
