Getting to the heart of good nutrition

Read what clients are saying...

I have very high cholesterol and when my doctor told me I needed to adopt a heart-healthy diet, I arranged a meeting with Mara. She taught me the correct way to read food labels, helped me to understand how the different foods in my pantry were either a help or hindrance to my heart-healthy goal, and introduced me to new foods and concepts. Mara explained everything clearly, so I never felt overwhelmed. And since she took the time to educate me on cholesterol and heart-healthy foods, she empowered me to make smart food decisions on my own.

I came to Mara with concerns about how I could change my diet to help improve a specific health problem. Mara gave me comprehensive advice that truly helped to address my health problem. I was impressed with her thoroughness; she spent time addressing my concerns and then gave me realistic diet options that I could use to help improve my health. Her invaluable advice has not only improved my health problem, but has facilitated improvement of my overall diet.

After attending one of Mara's seminars, I took a couple of her suggestions and incorporated them into my life. I still enjoy my favorite foods and desserts; however, by changing the portions and timing of my meals, I lost some extra weight and feel more energetic than I did before.

I initially met with Mara to address my lifelong struggle with weight and set up a personal eating plan. Mara took the time and made the effort to explain to me my current and potential long-term health problems in layman terms that I was able to understand; something my primary care physician, specialized doctors, and prior nutritionists/dietitians were unable to do. Mara is very knowledgeable and motivational. She really took the time to listen to me, inform and educate me, and provide me with emotional support. Mara has been instrumental in helping me address the underlying emotional issues that led to my overeating in the first place, as well as helping me monitor my daily and weekly caloric intake. She has made me really want to work on self-improvement and make the lifestyle changes I need to make. She really cares about my progress and genuinely wants to help me reach my personal goals. Mara's demonstrated vested interest in my success makes her a great person to talk to and work with. Mara has really motivated and inspired me to work on self-improvement and stop making excuses for myself. I cannot thank her enough for caring so much. I would strongly recommend Mara to anyone who struggles with any food issues and/or maintaining a healthy balanced diet.
