I've seen Luis, a naturopath, several times when I wasn't feeling well. His methods are unconventional but the results are spot on. His wife has also given me a sinus treatment because I am prone to getting sinus infections. Luis charges $50 for his evaluation. I don't remember what I was charged for the sinus treatment but it was also nominal. Their supplements, however, are very expensive but high quality. If you're open to trying non traditional medical methods, I recommend Luis. read more

Luis is a gift from God. He is so knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with their body and mind. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this store if you're looking for anything from vitamins and supplements to soaps and delicious teas. This was the second time I've been to Blaine's, The two workers are always so friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help! The layout of the store is well organized and easy to find what you're looking for. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face! read more

Luis and the ladies working there are very knowledgeable about herbs and natural remedies. He guessed what was wrong with me without me having to say a word! They host free monthly workshops for the community. Herbs and supplements can be a bit pricey, but I hear they work. I just went in yesterday and excited to see the results! read more

Love this place. The staff and owners are so kind and know. I went in very sick. I've seen so many eastern and western medical dr' s and either get a clean bill of health with all my tests, so they can never tell me what's wrong or they each tell me different things are wrongs and give me a bunch of herbs or medicine or supplements and I'm still dealing with the same health issues. The kinesiology dr was able to identify my issues immediately and gave me suggestions for what I needed. Juts in one week I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference in my energy and issues subsiding. Till time will tell but so far I am very happy and very grateful. read more

We went to Blaine's at the recommendation of a long time customer of theirs who swore by Luis' abilities to diagnose and treat ailments. First of all, I am still appalled at how he does it just by touching your arm. My mother and I visited him, not knowing what to expect. Let me tell you! He's is the real deal. He prescribed herbal meds that have helped me with what he found. What's more impressive is that he told my mother that she has lumps in her breast but they weren't cancerous. Fast forward to a month later, and her annual mammogram showed lumps. Doctors immediately started speculating, which made her fearful, and required further biopsies to determine what they were. Part of me was scared as well, for her, I kept reminding myself about what Luis had said. Sure enough, I obsessed showed that the lumps were not cancerous. That was the moment of truth about Luis' abilities. read more

NO COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES VISIBLE !!!! Two workers, none wearing masks, no customers wearing masks. No cleaning seen. One worker was keeping a mask in her pocket. Doesn't work that way. The mask isn't to protect YOU. It's to protect OTHERS. If you're a HEALTH STORE - Act like it. Science, people. I won't return to this store. Will go far away to Santa Monica Pharmacy instead. read more

Luis and Norma are the best at what they do! Very knowledgeable about homeopathy and holistic care for all ages and ailments! Highly recommend read more

I went in this shop to get some natural pain relief for my neck and the helpful man in there asked me a couple questions and once he realized how bad my pain was he immediately took me to the back room of his and did ONE move that took so much pain away.. literally half my pain in one minute of me being there..I will be making an appointment with him soon. read more

Started going there after taking a class at trinity school of natural health. Luis and Norma are amazing people. They care about their clients and want to educate them before selling them something. I am extremely lucky that after a couple months they have taken me under their wing and I can intern there. read more

Not sure what the guy who brought his daughter in is talking about in his review. How was he supposed to know she's a vegan unless you tell him. Most issues start in the gut so that's why he asked. He asked me similar questions even though I have a really clean diet. That said, after having a horrible reaction to meds from a podiatrist that caused me to lose my taste (I wasn't even notified there might be any reactions at all) I went on his herbal option for the same issue. Not only did it cure my issue but my taste came back after a month or so. 2 years later I haven't had a relapse either!! read more

I'm new to Blaine's but was having a longterm problem with fingernails and my acupuncturist dragged me in. Luis quickly did some kineseology (sp?) and recommended a couple of products I had my doubts would make any difference. Well, they did make a difference and I just called him to ask whether I should buy more, and his answer was no. He didn't try to sell me or upsell me and what he did sell me actually worked! read more

Small health food store in downtown Redondo. Limited supply of nutritional supplements and also a homeopathic section. The proprietor is very, very nice, chatty & helpful. read more

I love this store. I went in to see what I was missing from my nutrition and he would me exactly what I needed. To me I think the fee was reasonable the assessment was $50 I have gotten one before and it was a hundred at another place. The items that I needed also did not cost that much at all. I recommend stopping by read more

I stopped by the store for the first time to pick up something for my little boy. Luis, the owner, was quite friendly and knowledgeable about what it was that he needed. After seeing that he is a naturopathic doctor, I began asking him more and more about many child- health related subjects. I would have stayed longer had my 1 year old not begun to run around the store. I definitely plan to stop at this shop for my holistic needs rather than at Whole Foods. I appreciate the wealth of information that Luis has to share and his cool, "no pressure" attitude. read more

Love this place helped me out soo much when I need to get my health and live back. They listen and took the time to help me with that. Holistic practices are the best way to go about life I highly recommend this place if you need any type of health help. Great people and they don't try to over sell you their own products for their own gain. They are genuine and respectful. read more

Love this store! They carry the best leg cramp products! Have wonderful, informed, patient staff. I've lived in many cities, this center has "everything" to keep you healthy and very reasonable prices. I've never found a nutrition center like this one, highly recommend. read more

My whole family loves Dr. Ramos and all the staff at Blains! Dr. Ramos is very knowledgable, friendly and always helps us find a natural solution for our health issues. We just love them! read more

Luis and Norma are absolutely incredible. My wife and I went to see Luis after trying every doc in town to fix her ongoing migraines which had been continuous for 3 weeks at that point. Her migraine was gone after the first session with Luis and his recommended treatment has kept migraines out of our life since then. If you or a loved one deals with Migraines you know that is priceless. We are forever grateful for Blaine's Nutrition, Luis and Norma. read more

I have come to Blaine's Nutrition twice now and Luis has helped me treat conditions I have had that even the best Western medicine doctors I have gone to see have been clueless and helpless about. Within days I see a difference, and the problems have been resolved. He has never prescribed me anything other than natural remedies and treatments, and I love that I haven't had to poison my body with toxic pills to cure my conditions. So, if you're going through a health condition that has been weighing heavy on you, please do yourself a favor and go to Luis for a consultation so you can get rid of this problem in your life. If you do as he says (and you don't cheat on your diet or supplement schedule), you will see results. read more

Blaine's is a small but well stocked health food store. I love supporting the smaller business. Staff is knowledgeable helpful and extremely friendly. I was just poking around and bought some sea salt and left with some bonus chocolate almond bark they were giving samples of and much more! Thank you, I'll be back! read more

Great health store with a wide variety of products like Goji berries, Homeopathy, Raw chocolate, Alpha-lipoic acid, Probiotics, Agave, Organic seeds for Sprouting, Water Filters, Books and Helpful advice from the Wonderful owners Luis and Norma...very positive energy there! read more

I am not a crunchy granola type who only believes in organic food although health problems have forced me to be a little more careful about what I eat. I was visiting CA and stayed in a hotel nearby. While walking to the beach, I passed Blaine's Nutrition and felt compelled to visit. It didn't really look like a health food store and there seemed to be lots of information filling up the glass exterior. I went inside, walked around and was greeted cheerfully. I was getting the layout of the place, as I didn't see lots of food there, but lots of medicines. Once I got the inkling to ask questions I was engaged into a conversation about sugar and how addictive it is to out bodies. Once I explained my foot ailment (inflammation, basically) I was schooled that perhaps my diet had something to do with it. Well, it does, I boasted, and I eat pretty much organic now and no wheat... or 92% gluten free. I was asked about my sugar intake, as I had come in asking for a "natural" ginger chew to which I've been addicted of late. To make a long story short, the owners (I want to say Raul and Eva, but I'm terrible with names) are a fountain of information. He actually performed a couple of interesting quick experiments to show how ones proclivity to eat sweets can be damped by taking a small taste of an organic compound that makes sugar taste like YUCK!!! I talked at length to them on several occasions and included them in my visits to the beach and each time I came away with more information. They're not on the "tough sell," rather they explain in empirical language (they take several dozen hours worth of courses in homeopathy each year (like 80 hours -- and they love it because they like to learn). Raul (as I call him) is a homeopathic doctor who does consults over the phone for a reasonable rate, but your best bet is to visit the store when it's not busy and talk to him. They really care about people and are fascinated by each individual story. I'll be sending many people their way. If you think homeopathy is for Quacks, this couple will dispel that notion and have you eating better despite your wishes!!! read more

This store is like a diamond in the rough. Hidden away and not very noticeable from the street but trust me it carries a lot of products. Louis Ramos the owner is amazing and really knows his stuff. I go in there anytime I have a health issue. He muscle tests me explains everything and suggests some kind of herb for me to take and I feel better in a few days. I Highly reccommend this store if you want one on one attention and want to talk to someone who cares. read more

They had the very hard to find herb extract I was looking all over for... Nice helpful people, fair prices and decent selection of products. read more

Love Norma and Luis at Blaine's Nutrition. This is a treasure in the South Bay. I've been a customer for years. This is the first place I go to for health issues. When I get a recommendation form a doctor, I double check with the naturopaths at Blaine's. I never, never felt oversold. They give you only what you really need. I find Luis very accurate with muscle testing and Norma highly intuitive. Their prices are lower than those of Whole Foods, you get a free recommendation from a Naturopath, and you get to support a small health store. As good as it gets. read more

Luis F. Ramos and his wife Norma are the real deal. They are so welcoming, so knowledgeable and so caring. They are there to serve the public not because they need to be, but because they want to sincerely spread their knowledge to help people. This is as close to personalized healthcare as you will ever get. This is not just a nutritional store. This is a naturopathic practice and a nutraceutical (a food containing health-giving additives and having medicinal benefit) store. It has such a nice, cozy atmosphere, full of vibrant healing smells. An oasis in the desert of urban industry and pharmaceutical dominance. Luis is like an encyclopedia, not just for herbs but also for health remedies. This is my go to place to get help with any condition that I may have. I have also consulted with him about others who are not getting the results that they seek from Western medicine. I am a medical doctor (M.D.) and I can say that I trust his assessments, methodologies and recommendations. He does muscle testing (kinesthesiology) to assess where the body is weak and to determine which supplements and dosages the body responds to, in order to determine what your body needs and how much to take. If you are interested in knowing what supplements your body might need, this is the place to go. If you want to know if a supplement that you are taking is effective for your body, go there and have it tested. Disclaimer: I am not advocating that you not see your regular physician, in large part to get tested to see where your body is in need of help and I am not stating that the supplements or remedies that he suggests can cure, diagnose, treat or heal any particular disease, illness or injury. However, if you are looking for another opinion, or a first opinion about your health, I would not hesitate to go there. Tell him that I sent you. And to Luis and Norma, I apologize if you start getting more business than you can handle. LOL!!! This post, by the way, was not solicited. They do not know that I posted this after visiting their store today. I have recommended this practice to my own family members who go there independently. read more

Blain's Nutrition is a gem of a store due to Luis and his lovely wife Norma. They are as knowledgeable as can be. If you need help, just ask. They are both low key, never a hard sell, they never push--just pure information. This is as good as it gets! read more
