What They Say..
A light bulb has gone off over the last few days. Isabelle, you were right! I finally have found an answer to A LOT of my problems. GLUTEN!!! I've never tried to eliminate gluten from my diet, nor has any medical "professional" before you suggested that my diet was causing me all these problems or at least making them worse. I never got a diagnosis, just a lot of prescriptions and "oh wells". Maybe because I was never overweight, they didn't think my diet was an issue. But based on my father's medical history (colitis, removal of gall bladder) and conditions we both have (chronic pain, eczema, psoriasis, etc) I decided to take your advice & looked into how gluten can affect people. Even though I have "cheated" a couple times on the program - it's been gluten free (i.e. GF pizza w/ veggies - no meat, GF free, soy-free, dairy free cookies). I have tried to eliminate dairy before, but I never really noticed a huge difference. But for several days now, I can bend and un-bend my knees, get up from sitting, and sit for long periods of time without my knees feeling like they are going to explode. This menstrual cycle, I didn't even have to take anything for pain and I didn't even have the terrible night sweats that I normally have. This program has made me so much more aware of what I'm eating and how it's affecting me, more than just my weight going up or down. Anyway, I just wanted to share that because I am grateful for you knowledge, expertise and willingness to educate people like, so that we can live a healthier and happier life.
I have worked with Isabelle on a number of occasions, and have always been impressed with her professionalism and knowledge. She led a series of health programs for my employees, covering such areas as nutrition, smoking, lifting heavy objects, exercise, etc., bringing a higher level of awareness as well as tools to help my employees. The series had the added benefit of boosting employee morale and loyalty to the company. I highly recommend Isabelle for working with employees or directly with company owners.
I met Isabelle several years ago at Lassen's Leads Club. Her knowledge of nutrition and wellness is extensive, and she is a practiced example of her counseling. I am further impressed with her dedicated, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach in educating and assisting those seeking a healthier way of life. She is highly respected by her peers and exalted by many grateful clients. I value her as both a colleague and a friend.
Isabelle is a great asset to anyone looking to improve their health and is wonderful to work with.
Isabelle is an incredibly knowledgeable professional! She is very energetic about what she does and eager to share all that she knows about health and wellness. I recommend her in the highest regard - she will take such good care of you!
Classes were very informative, the instructor and the wellness coach kept me motivated. The results from the assessments were really helpful to mark my progress: I lost 11 Lbs in 12 weeks, my cholesterol went down 24 points, and my body fat percentage went down 5 points. I’m grateful I was offered this opportunity.
