After some quick evaluation, Ashley pointed out that a ton of flaws in my diet. While it was all healthy to begin with, it was low on carbs and not nearly enough calories to sustain my workout load. Most people tend to think that an RD is to help you lose weight, but Crave Health helped me in a whole different way. The plan put together for me was with my heavy workout load in mind without being too disruptive. I was injury free for the next 4 months and got my best time in my last half-marathon. Recently, I've been going to lose fat without necessarily losing weight. Ashley got me a modified plan and kept tabs on my progress during our visits. I have lost 2% body fat (from 19 to 17% and on my way to reach 15% goal). I have not experienced the challenges from another reviewer in scheduling appts. I work late and Crave Health has a couple of days where they take appts until late afternoon. Scheduling has been easy over email. Check your insurance and you might find out a few visits are covered in your plan. I do recommend Crave health and I'm still a client.

She always sends me home with a write up of what we discussed, recipes, and a fresh outlook on my health. My favorite thing about Mary is how she treats me. I have never felt pressured to eat my weight in kale or follow some nutrition plan I didn't feel good about. She asks questions about my preferences and likelihood of preparing foods so that it's a co-created plan. Her witty and spunky personality is so comforting, not to mention how sensitive she is to my "relationship with my body".

I'm a 57 year old female and was lost and feeling physically miserable. I was almost to 200 pounds…read moreat one point. How had I let my weight go for such a long time? I knew I had some sort of emotional connection to eating: stress, transitioning to an empty nester, instability in my job, and overall "I don't care-ism". In addition, I was a picker (stoppickingonme.com) and my face was a mess. I did have inner joy through my faith, but I wasn't happy with my physical appearance. I tried lots of fad diets, most recently the HGC and then a 30 day juice fast. I could lose about 20 pounds, but because of the underlying issues I would return to my old stress eating habits. In August 2015, a friend told me about Ideal Protein and that she had lost about 30 pounds. I made an appointment with Sherene, and after that orientation meeting the lightbulb went off: I was addicted to carbs which caused the need to stress eat and that caused inflammation which caused my skin breakouts. I went home with the bag of IP food and supplements that very day. What made the difference is the science behind the diet and NOT to approach this alone. We are creatures designed to be in relationship with others. Thorough the coaches at Ideal Northwest, Sherene and Rachael are my coaches, I felt comfortable with then to share my struggles. Believe me, they have the experiences and knowledge to get you through anything and provide scientific evidence as to why you may be experiencing a pause in the weight loss. The center offers monthly meetings to learn something new, support each other and share recipes. Everything I've learned makes so much practical sense. Today, I am about 5 pounds away my goal weight of 140 pounds and FEEL GREAT!!! Not only has my body shrunk, but my complexion is CLEAR! An added and unexpected bonus because there's nothing to pick at! I'm feeling happy about the way I look and feel in my clothes (which are all new BTW). I'm looking forward to meeting my goal and moving into the maintenance phase of eating. I hope anyone reading this and is serious about losing weight will consider Ideal Northwest. I'm so glad I did.

I have nothing but great things to say about Natalie!…read more I have bounced back and forth between binge eating and extreme dieting for most of my adult life. When I found Natalie, I had just come off a round of extreme dieting and was looking for a more balanced look at nutrition. I had heard of Intuitive Eating in the past but had sort of dismissed it because as I told Natalie on our first call: "Clearly, your intuition is telling me to eat different things than my intuition." I worked with Natalie for about 6 months and I can say for a fact that the person I was when I met her and the person I am now are two completely different people (in the best way). I'm still a work in progress and probably always will be, but I can say with absolute certainty that I'm a better version of myself than before I met Natalie. If you have been struggling with food, if you've never experienced a life where food didn't rule you in one way or another and are reading this, I highly encourage you to reach out to Natalie. She is the most non-judgmental of humans and you will immediately feel at ease in her (virtual) presence.

I sought out a "Health Coach" on the recommendation from a friend. Well that decision literally changed my Life. Cathy Long became my best ally and Coach to reaching the Lifestyle we all want - but don't always know how to get. From the get go, we set up weekly goals that I could handle and the plan worked beautifully. It was not overwhelming and the little steps we worked on together, soon led to big changes for me. Being a Type 2 Diabetic, it was essential that I get my ducks in order again and get back on Track. Cathy, made the whole journey Fun! Her support, extensive knowledge and guidance changed my Life. Within a few short weeks I was feeling better physically and my whole Focus had changed, with my confidence growing as the weeks passed. I was accountable to myself, and when I had a rough week, she was there to talk me through it, not judge, and offer some great ways to get back on an even keel. I was never sure how a Nutritional Coach could help or how it all worked - but without her I would not be where I am today. Almost a year after I started this journey, I have shed almost 30 lbs (safely and kept it off) and my energy level at 56 is like that of a College student! SPARK Health is exactly what it says - for it "reignited" my Zest for Life on many different levels and safely got my Mind and Body to a healthy place.

A super fun team holds me accountable with weekly weigh-ins and good advice. They even tailor the regimen to my specific needs. I am shocked at the rapid weight loss that I've kept off.

It wasn't unitl I added carbs in to the meals they gave me that I was able to actually to run more then a few miles without feeling wiped, They said I would be tired for the first few days, but I never adjusted. After the 10 weeks I was only down about 16lbs, which isn't bad, but I was lead to believe I would be down where I wanted after 10 weeks. They did give me one week of meals for free, but there wasn't anything after time was up. Since I didn't have their meals to eat I went back to what I knew and the weight has come back.
