When I first contacted Dionne, I was at my wit’s end.  I had tried just about every eating regimen over the past 30 years (vegetarian, vegan, raw, low-fat/high carb, high-fat/low carb, pescatarian, auto-immune) and ended up developing a skin rash after being on an auto-immune diet for two months and diving back into “regular food” (gluten, sugar, and other inflammatory foods) without any care.

I was trying to fix a really hard issue with my digestion, I did several medical test and everything was showing an inflammation to my duodenum and a severe gastritis. So I did gastroscopy and different treatment without really fixing the issue. After a couple of weeks with a good condition, I was back to the nightmare.

Dionne speaks my language and although I consider myself 80 percent perfect eater, I knew she had more good knowledge that I could benefit from.

I had another incremental shift on the scale. Very happy to see it heading in the downward direction again. : ) It has really been life changing to work with you and get my nutrition dialed in. I can’t say enough great things. My energy level is improved, I’m losing weight and don’t feel at all deprived, and my sweet tooth has finally been subdued.

I sought help after being overweight for many years and suffering from an old knee injury.  I said to myself I need to lose weight but need help after years of trying and going up and down, with more ups.  A doctor recommended Dionne and I am glad he did. She was able to help me lose more than 40 pounds and help in other ways – anti-inflammation, joint health and improve some of my blood work.  Dionne listens, asks questions, and motivates me in a positive way. Working with her I have been able to change habits and make life changes I can sustain.
