Marci is a fabulous nutritionist! She was recommended to me by CEDC after I finished an intensive…read moreoutpatient program there. She explains things really well, so that a lay person like myself can understand them. She does a good job of combining biology (like how the body digests food, etc) with food counseling (like whether you should be on a meal plan or not). I found Marci to be really honest, smart, and easy to talk to. If you're looking for a nutritionist who can help you with emotional eating, Marci's your gal!

Marci is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.. for real! She is an amazing person…read morewho has been an inspiration to me and a very helpful nutritionist. I have felt very comfortable explaining everything in a truthful manner to her, and she is not judgmental, which is very helpful when dealing with difficult issues. She truly understands what I am going through, and she always has concrete advice to give to help me get back or stay on track. I find her to be very organized and on top of things. She has a lot of worksheets and book suggestions that have been quite helpful. Also, her ideas for nutritious and delicious foods are great. I have learned many helpful tips and rules from her that have helped me to adjust during a period of having eating disordered behaviors that had been ingrained in my life for many years, to evolving toward the opposite end of the spectrum where I have learned to honor my hunger and eat what I'd like in a reasonable manner and to not get too hung up if I have negative experiences. When you go to Marci, be prepared to work on yourself and your eating and health in ways you may not have delved into this part of your life, and know you'll come out feeling more healthful and free to enjoy life more to the fullest without having to focus on eating issues that may have taken over your life in the past. I went to her after going to the Cambridge Eating Disorder Center and she has been a very big part of my recovery. I am very proud of myself to have gotten my good health under control, and it worked with a combination of help from Marci as well as with my therapist and psychiatrist who have all helped me to make a complete turn around. With this, I thank people like Marci and I hope that others who are looking for a great nutritionist find Marci. She is probably the best nutritionist to work with in Harvard Square, Cambridge, and one of the best in the Boston area. Go to her website www.marciRD.com - it is a very nice looking and well put together website that accurately reflects how she works and what she does, and you can contact her from there. Good luck with your recovery or with supporting someone you know who is in recovery, and know you're in good hands if you end up working with Marci! (she does accept insurances also so you just pay a co-pay as you go).

I had an incredible experience with Courtney and Jillian. Courtney was my primary nutritionist and…read moreshe took amazing care of me. She has an expansive knowledge base surrounding nutrition and functional medicine. She was always supportive while holding me accountable! I appreciated how much I grew as a person and how much my health has improved. I'm happy to say my health has improved immensely after this program and I would highly recommend these women to anyone! I feel amazing and can't wait to carry these important tools with me for the rest of my life! Cari Reilly

After working with other functional medicine practitioners in the past, I was still having symptoms and looking to get to the bottom of things once and for all. Jillian shares all of her knowledge and really takes the time to educate her clients. She makes herself fully available and provides TONS of resources to support you on your journey. I was really blown away. While you need to be committed to do the work, Jillian's plans are in no way restrictive and really set you up to optimize your health for the long term. While I still have some work to do, I feel fully confident that Jillian's approach will benefit me for the rest of my life. I couldn't be more thankful!

Very bizarre and expensive experience. ( I don't blame anyone but myself for this). I was given the…read more"I am not a doctor" before going into my appointment. However, during my appointment and after listing all my symptoms and how gynecologists have told my I have suspected endometriosis, I was told by Kristine that I don't have that during muscle testing. I was shocked at such a bold statement ONLY because it went against the "I am not a doctor" statement I was told. I convinced myself this woman had a strong intuition until my chronic pelvic pain did not subside from the tinctures I was given. Which ... they weren't supposed to. It was only something western medicine could handle. Here I am two weeks post op with all endometriosis excised from my bladder and deep from my pelvis. So, Yes. I did have that. But the point of this review is that I was told I didn't have something..... when I absolutely did. It did not align with the " I am not a doctor" which I was told twice. If you are not a doctor, then how come I am being told I don't have something? Everything was very speedy and rushed... but I am assuming that is all because routine is the same for every person. Listen to symptoms, muscle test, and send home with 2-3 tinctures/ vitamins. Waiting for the western medicine and natural path world to align and become one instead of being so separate from each other!!! Hopefully one day. I see reviews that this practice is a scam, I think it is in some ways, but for some people (especially when their symptoms are mental, body is low in vitamins, contains parasites, etc. ) it could really help but it seems to be an expensive guessing game that is for sure.

After reading so many 5 star reviews, I was desperate to give this a try, even with the high…read moreinitial price point (approximately $200 for the appointment and homeopathic drops). I have to agree with another recent reviewer that this is a scam. The entire process was strange from start to finish in terms of what she does to check the body energy. None of it makes sense and you can watch her video on Yelp to see what I mean. I have chronic gastritis and came in for help with that. What she found and the drops given did not help me. Actually a very natural remedy did recently, but nothing that was done during this appointment or following. I am not sure how what she does helps people with digestive issues and I don't think she should be advertising that she can help with that. I also don't think she should be ripping people off with such a high initial price point when there are no guarantees and what she does is pretty hard to believe as legitimate. I really wanted this to work but I warn people to not go and use your best judgement. As desperate as you might be, this is too good sounding to be true and effective.

Lexy is amazing! I came to her with a great challenge: I'm a vegan athlete in grad school who also…read morehas colitis. And my stomach was wrecked from stress and unhealthy college habits (hello no sleep). Lexy took every one of these aspects and not only helped me fix my stomach issues, but also worked within all my constraints. We first worked on fixing my gut, and then accessible meal planning and how to smartly eat around campus when I didn't have a lot of time. Then we took on making sure I got enough protein as an athlete and how to pack for outdoor trips. I'm feeling SO much better now and really have Lexy to thank for giving me strategies and tools to manage my condition. Can't recommend enough!!!

Lainey provided me with a lot of helpful advise, such as some books on eating to read , and various techniques I could utilize for portion control, that laid the foundation for weight loss that occurred at a later stage.

Jenn is incredible. I wanted to drop some weight that I had gained since moving in with my…read moreboyfriend. Plus I was leaving for a vacation we'd been planning forever and I wanted to feel comfortable in my clothes again for that trip. I hesitated to hire a nutritionist because I felt like I had been pretty well educated on what eating healthy looked like. But these days, between whole 30 and paleo and keto, I was having a difficult time knowing what I should focus on. Jenn gave me clear directions and delicious recipes right away. I dropped 4lb in the first week that never came back. Over the month of working with her, I dropped 8 lbs and 2". Not only that, she helped me reframe my thoughts about the scale and my body. I left for my big trip yesterday and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jenn!

I have been fortunate enough to know Jenn both as my personal trainer and as my nutritionist. I…read morethink the absolute best thing about Jenn is her holistic view of nutrition. It is not just about working out and eating healthy, but it is about leading a full life, whatever that may mean for you. Her background in counseling definitely comes through in all of her work, and I quickly was comfortable working with her and talking to her about my frustrations and my goals. As a nutritionist, she has a wonderful way of personalizing each session. While there are pre-planned topics for each discussion, if there is something personal going on, that always takes precedent. I started my nutrition program around the same time I started law school, so there were many stressors aside from food in my life. I definitely attribute a lot of my success in my first year to having Jenn help me work through the stress and focus and make time in my life for important things outside of school. As a trainer, Jenn is just extremely motivating and challenges you as far as you can go. She makes training fun and helps you set reachable goals, so you are constantly meeting them and setting news ones. She has innovative ideas to help you work around crazy schedules and makes sure that you are always pushing yourself. Overall, Jenn is a great person to work with and will quickly become a great friend! She is always willing to help through email, and is very flexible to meet the needs of those with demanding schedules. This year has been amazing working with her, and I look forward to continuing to do so for a very long time!

Short Yelp Review: Lauren Dear Saved My Gut…read more Long Yelp Review: I moved from India to the United States 12 years ago - my family got over it, but my gut didn't. What was once my happy, thriving and healthy GI tract turned miserable, agonized and sensitive. I developed multiple sensitivities to various types of food and my digestion seemed to limp to catch up with all the self-restrictive dietary changes and modifications. I love good, pure, healthy food - and my misbehaving GI tract was a major burden, affecting my quality of life. For 12 years, I made-do - making dietary tweaks here and there, but a couple of months ago, I just hit a wall and decided to get professional help. Lauren came highly recommended by folks who knew me personally. She introduced me to the FODMAP diet - nay, the FODMAP way-of-life! In 2 weeks, following the FODMAPs list of acceptable food choices, my symptoms of bloating, gassiness, and general gut malaise has vastly improved. There still are certain tweaks I will need to make down the road, but as of now - I am not petrified of the consequences of eating. I just need to choose what types of healthy food I can eat, that will be tolerated. Working with Lauren is a pleasure - she's curious, attentive to your woes, is non-judgmental, and shows genuine care and empathy. She actually listens without prejudice or condescension. If you have GI troubles, go to Lauren! With practices in Brookline and in Boston (Downtown Crossing), she's very accessible via all modes of transportation. Thank you for saving my gut, Lauren!
