"To say that Chelsey completely changed my life is an understatement, her advice and eating plan helped me transform my life." Read Kristin's Story
Kristin's Story
To say that Chelsey completely changed my life is an understatement, her advice and eating plan helped me transform my life.
I’ve been significantly overweight since injuring my back 20 years ago. I’ve tried diets that helped me lose some weight, but couldn’t keep it off, and I learned it wasn’t just what I was eating. My eating habits needed to change.
With Chelsey's help, I’ve lost 75 lbs (in 8-9 months) and have kept it off after more than a year! My high blood pressure is gone. I’m off medications for type 2 diabetes (run, don’t walk, away from sugary sodas), and my back feels so much better that I don’t need the surgery I was facing before I started.
I didn’t think I could do it, but Chelsey’s 1:1 protein to carb ratio, eating several small meals a day, and learning to really read food labels was so do-able. Her personalized plan has helped me to me find food I like (I’ve always been a “picky eater”), and allowed me to make healthy eating a way of life.
I realize I did the work, but Chelsey saved my life. What more can I say?

"I needed a customized Nutrition blueprint to both lose weight and manage two serious medical conditions" Read John's Story
John's Story
I needed a customized Nutrition blueprint to both lose weight and manage two serious medical conditions that I am faced with.
Chelsey and I went over what my current health status is, my current typical day diet, and anything that i'd tried in the past in order to lose weight successful or not. From that she was able to show me in very easy to understand terms why choices I was making were in need of some tweeking.
Her program is very hands on and she provides many customized documents that help you succeed in weight loss or management. An example of this would be shopping trips to QFC and Trader Joe's with specific food items that match my customized plan. She actually meets you at the store of your choice for this session. It definitely makes it easier to start and figure things out because you have a blueprint to fall back on.
Chelsey is always available to answer questions by email, or phone if necessary. So far to date I've lost 80 pounds through her guidance and am really starting to become more healthy and aware of how important choices are at each meal.

"Calling Chelsey is easily what my husband and I consider to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made." Read Nahal's Story
Nahal's Story
Calling Chelsey is easily what my husband and I consider to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
After going as far as having pre made meals delivered to our doorstep we never thought food and nutrition could be easy for us. Chelsey was able to quickly give us a map and decoder ring to food.
Meal time for 2 working parents is no longer a nightly challenge. Not to mention the bonus of easier eating has been more energy and increased fitness.

"I would highly recommend Chelsey. She’s energetic, insightful and attuned to your needs as you progress under her guidance. I feel more intelligent and mature about my food choices." Read Jennifer's Story
Jennifer's Story
I would highly recommend Chelsey. She’s energetic, insightful and attuned to your needs as you progress under her guidance. I feel more intelligent and mature about my food choices.
She takes a holistic and practical approach that is easy to understand. You still do the heavy lifting, applying her sound and scientifically-based principles and strategies, but you’ve got a strong advisor, coach and cheerleader in Chelsey.
Thanks to Chelsey, I feel the most confident I’ve ever felt enjoying both familiar and new foods in a variety of settings. I am on my way!

"She was able to clearly assess my habits, preferences, and difficulties almost immediately to suggest techniques and goals which cut to the root of my issues." Read Blaine's Story
Blaine's Story
Chelsey is a walking store of nutritional information!
She was able to clearly assess my habits, preferences, and difficulties almost immediately to suggest techniques and goals which cut to the root of my issues. The ideas she gave to me for eating, areas of focus, and making choices were more practical than I expected -- things I can do without a lot of effort.
If you want a high-powered, experienced dietitian... look no further.
