Our check-ins have been super helpful in curbing my snack intake and I can confidently say my vegetable intake has increased. My life has been changed for the better. There is no guilt in "not eating the right thing." But moderation is key. Madeleine's knowledge and understanding is super helpful in guiding you towards your goals!

Everything I learned from her almost 4.5 years ago has still stuck with me to this day. I even occasionally refer to her emails and notes when I need to remember something regarding food planning/nutrition. I made great progress when I started with her in 2021 to 2023, which was when I did a lot of endurance training. I dialed back on my fitness the past year and a half and didn't stay on a consistent nutrition plan, so my body comp has changed a bit since previous years. Nothing drastic, but I'm back to being consistent and motivated to make some positive changes this year. I would not have been as easily motivated without Madeleine's previous coaching!!! I found it so easy to bounce back into a consistent food routine. She instilled in me a lasting lifestyle change and a shift in perspective when it comes to fueling and eating that truly sticks over the years. It was so easy to remember her simple and realistic tips - food swaps to get more protein into each meal, being mindful of hunger cues, and healthy snack swaps. It's amazing how these simple changes can make an impact on your daily macros. In this day and age with social media advice and AI meal planning, the value of having a supportive and knowledgeable real human who can individually tailor and guide your nutrition goals accurately is so apparent. Plus, having someone there to answer your questions at any time in between your coaching sessions gives you that extra oomph of support. If you are considering using Results Food Coaching, I would stop your search here and get in touch with the team right now!!

I also had higher than normal blood pressure. I was a healthy weight, active, and had a good diet, so I was super confused about my situation. These chronic illnesses run heavily in my family so it wasn't completely shocking, but pretty shocking. I was at a loss for what to change in my diet and life. Nicole helped me holistically and coached me in how to tweak some areas of my diet and lifestyle habits. My blood sugar AIC dropped 4 points (from 5.9 down to 5.5) after just seeing her for a few appointments over the span of 3-4 months. She's amazing and took significant time to understand my health and my needs. Her holistic approach involved much more than my blood sugar, so we addressed other parts of my body's needs and the blood sugar management came a long with the rest. I highly recommend her to all my friends who are struggling with any health issues!!

Dr. Young was…read morevery informative, and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining safety protocols, which really helped ease any anxiety for a first-time session. I was initially referred here by my surgeon after another Bay Area facility was fully booked, so I appreciated being able to get in relatively quickly. The treatment itself felt professional and well-managed, and I left feeling positive about the care I received. One thing to note is that this clinic does not accept insurance, so everything is out of pocket, unlike some other facilities that may have insurance partnerships. I wasn't aware of that ahead of time. My main area for improvement would be pricing transparency. Over the phone, I was quoted $375 for treatment and told I would need to meet with Dr. Young beforehand, which I completely understand. However, additional costs weren't clearly explained. I opted for a 90-minute session, which ended up being more expensive, and I left owing around $850. While I acknowledge I could have asked more questions, I do wish the full pricing breakdown had been communicated more clearly upfront. Overall, it was a very positive experience in terms of care and professionalism. If cost weren't a concern, I would absolutely return. I'd just recommend future patients ask detailed questions about pricing ahead of time.

Her approach is to be more mindful and conscious about eating nutrient-dense foods, without feeling bad or guilty. She meets you where you are, and is completely realistic about goals. I've learned valuable skills from Jill that are sustainable for the long term and I've already noticed a difference in how I feel physically, mentally and emotionally -- and that, is one of the best things I've learned from her. She's incredibly supportive, positive and provides the right amount of guidance and validation that helps me stay motivated and on track. One thing I appreciated is that she even helped coach me before I set off on vacation -- which, as we all know, can be a troublesome area when it comes to eating well. (Side note: I was still able to splurge and did not feel bad about it!) Since most nutritionists are not covered by insurance (unless you have a medical need/referral from physician), I found her plans to be some of the most affordable out there. But that said, I'd pay even more for her expertise and support. She's just that awesome.

I go in weekly to be weighed and talk with a staff person, sometimes a nutritionist and sometimes medical personnel. They are always helpful with whatever I am going through that week. Always positive even if my weight is up that week. I did start using GLP-1 Zepbound shots awhile back as my weight loss plateaued and menopause hit. My insurance covers it - though I did have to try Ozempic first. Ozempic never did much for me so Jumpstart submitted a prior authorization for Zepbound and it was approved eventually. I visit with the BHRT staff once a quarter I think. They always want to know how I am doing with menopause and any symptoms I may be having. I do blood work twice a year so they can look at all my hormone numbers and all the regular blood tests they look at. My insurance does cover part of the Jumpstart costs so its definitely beneficial to look into that.

I suggest looking elsewhere for someone who is respectful and holistic, seeing ALL people as having value and all health conditions as equally benefitting from her (questionable) nutrition expertise. In her own words:

    This review is long overdue. Ellen has been guiding me towards better health for over a year now…read more When I came to her I was stressed, frequently bloated, had fatigue all day long, and had stomach issues that weren't going away. I tried to "fix" myself by trying to eat healthy (I loved fatty foods, but my cholesterol was/is high so I became a vegetarian for a while to try to help lower my cholesterol) and exercise, but despite that, I was still bloated and tired all day. Ellen has a whole system worked out to determine the root cause of health issues that arise. Based on my lab work, she designed a protocol that was tailored to fit me and my health goals. Throughout the process, we had check-ins where I could update her on how I was feeling and see if anything needed to be adjusted. I've been committed to her protocols for over a year now and my health is better than ever. My bloating is gone, I have more consistent energy throughout the day, my stomach aches have all but gone away, and bonus- I've lost a bunch of weight. I'm nearly down to the weight I was in the military in my early 20s, something I was never able to achieve on my own when I got out. Ellen's recommendations are dynamic and tailored, and she considers the person as a whole. Her help has been so vital for me that I'm going to continue working with her until the foreseeable future; my labs are getting to where they need to be, but in the meantime I appreciate being able to reach out to her with questions from the patient portal, getting periodic labwork to check progress, getting access to reduced- price supplements, and having access to see if she recommends any minor adjustments to my protocol. 100% recommend!

Both times, I hesitated because of the cost -- I told myself I was already paying for insurance, so why pay out of pocket for something extra? That decision cost me more than money. I've been dealing with serious health issues since 2018, and I didn't see real progress in my treatment until I finally integrated Shanti into my care team. After a few years working with her, I'm in the best health I can remember in years -- and honestly, the turnaround still shocks me. Shanti has been the cornerstone connecting the dots across a complicated health picture: major weight and puffiness fluctuations, food reactions and allergies, MCAS/histamine issues, mold, migraines, headaches, and joint pain -- all while juggling multiple doctors and endless investigative work. She's been there on the days I could barely move or eat, in real pain and down, and she's helped me build a fuller care team rather than trying to be everything herself. She got me OFF the endless cycle of adding supplements and protocols, and taught me to simplify and actually listen to my body. She's patient, she remembers every detail of my history so I never feel like a number, and she adapts to what's realistic for me rather than forcing one rigid method or diet. We've also gone deeper than the physical -- into the inner work of trauma, stress, and old patterns -- and worked through how my health connects to my marriage, family, work, and travel. I'm so grateful for my work with Shanti. It has been life changing. I wouldn't be able to propel into my next steps in life without the rigor and resilience of our time together.
