We have worked together for about a year, and she has patiently helped me put together a plan that includes a food log, and exercise that fit my lifestyle and schedule. She has been non-judgmental and firm but encouraging through my numerous stops and starts. She truly understands the emotional component of food addiction. It 's not enough to intellectually know what to do. She helps you deal with the "inner kid" who keeps you from doing what's in your own best interest. I highly recommend her whether you are an elite athlete, or just beginning your journey toward healthy living.

Rebecca is leading me on a journey to do just that. She identified my core problems with food, mainly that I was prone to over-restricting (and therefore under-eating) with intermittent binges. After only a few sessions with Rebecca, I feel so much happier and healthier. Until Rebecca identified my emotional eating habits, I did not realize that I was using food to stifle difficult feelings. Now Rebecca is working with me to help me get in touch with my "intuitive eater." My only regret is that I did not have time for more sessions this summer, since I will be returning to school soon. But Rebecca has promised to stay in touch via email, Skype, and phone, and after only a week away she has stayed true to her promise. Rebecca can help you get to the bottom of your problems with food, and she will guide you in developing a lifestyle plan that works for you and your body. I really could not be happier with this experience.

I completed Lindsay's 6 week program and wow! I can truly say that it was a life changing…read moreexperience!! In the past 4 years, I had gained 40+ lbs due to some special medicine I was taking (and probably some overeating of hamburgers too haha). I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. Juice cleanses, special diets, pills, multiple private trainers, you name it and I had done it. Unfortunately, nothing stuck. Knowing my wedding was just around the corner, I had to do something to get the weight off for good. I wanted to feel confident on my wedding day! I found Lindsay through a quick yelp search and was intrigued. Let's get this straight. This is not a special fad diet or some strict eating plan, its a way of life! Lindsay gives you the tools, skills, and mindset to make a long lasting change in your lifestyle. During the course of the 6 weeks, I lost 8+ lbs and now (more than 3 months later) I'm still continuing to lose weight by following what she taught me. I plan to be at my goal weight in the next 3 months (in time for my wedding!) And most importantly, I feel fantastic!!!!! I feel like a whole new person. Yes, it's a monetary investment but it was worth every penny :) do it!!!

What I appreciated the most was her accessibility. She would review menus of restaurants I was eating at or provide me with customized recommendations. When I was frustrated with results or what the scale said, she was non-judgmental and offered helpful advice for how to overcome cravings or emotional reactions. In fact, I was surprised (in a good way) by how much of the program was centered around mindfulness and balance. Even though the program only includes 4 sessions, I felt like I was in constant communication with Lindsay and she genuinely cared about my progress. She frequently sent email updates and checked in, and when I had questions, she was never more than a text away. I am excited to see continued progress. I would recommend Lindsay to anyone!

Prior to working with Linda of Simple Well Being I struggled with my diet and nutrition to get down to my goal weight for my triathlon and bike racing. With Linda, I got practical and very helpful advice to help me work towards my personal goals. I learned a lot about the foods I should be eating more of and some eye opening food errors on my part. I have since made several small tweaks to my eating and meal preparation that have paid big dividends. Linda has helped me focus on my meal planning, basics to have in my kitchen, and foods to avoid.

So I've been following her guidance, and it is working! I also appreciate that she is knowledgeable about vegetarianism (I have been a vegetarian for 30 years) and has helped me create an eating plan within my lifestyle preferences. Lastly, Olga not only has wonderful expertise about nutrition, but she helped me with digestion and blood sugar issues too. She has been reliable, responsive, on time, and detail oriented. She even helped me pick out what to eat from some restaurant menus when I was on vacation. She has been great overall and I have learned a lot in a short time.

I've been going to Wisdom Path Healing Center since like 2011 or 2012 when I mysteriously started…read moredeveloping intense joint inflammation in multiple joints. I would wake up in the mornings with newly swollen joints. I had a hard time walking in the mornings because so many parts of my body were in pain - my feet, knees, back at one point, fingers (could no longer make a fist or open jars or hold a dumbbell), my wrists, my elbows. I would hobble in to the bathroom and take a hot shower, which helped a bit. Western medicine had no answers for me - no clear diagnosis and no clear treatment although the rheumatologist I saw tried to persuade me to do steroids and cortisone shots (after declaring that I looked like an athlete in great shape with nothing wrong with me even as I was showing him fingers that were swollen). I wasn't down for either because I was clear that neither was a cure. I remembered a naturopath I had seen maybe five or six years prior who ordered several blood tests, and after careful review, told me that I had strong markers for rheumatoid arthritis. Both my primary care physician and Dr. Amen proceeded with my treatment as if it were rheumatoid arthritis. The only official diagnosis I got was that it was an auto-immune polyarthritic condition. I learned later that auto immune conditions present differently, which might have been part of the difficulty in diagnosing. Also, by the time I saw the rheumatologist, I had already begun working with Dr. Amen. I was skeptical with Dr. Amen at first (somewhat frustrated by the initial cost of the visit), but he convinced me to stick with it, explaining that the work he does isn't like Western medicine or a pill that works right away. Plus, he said that we could effectively eliminate all or almost all of my symptoms. I was persuaded, and over my time with them, I've made a lot of choices that have helped me achieve that goal of actual healing. I sometimes have a few pains here and there (almost all in my feet and all of which disappear after a few weeks as I keep working with Wisdom Path), and I can't wear heels anymore, but I am fully mobile and don't experience the multiple joint inflammation through which I suffered when I first started with them. I also work out regularly and became vegan. Wisdom Healing Path aided in that transition with the cooking classes that Na'Amana leads. I knew how to cook, but I needed more options. That was key in my shift to veganism. It's been about five to six years that I've been vegan. I cheated the first few years but after several strange responses to eating animal products, the last straw of which was styes and cholazeans on my eyes, I accepted that animals aren't good for me to consume. All of the work I've done with Wisdom Healing Path has fixed or significantly diminished several physical ailments I was suffering, in addition to the rheumatoid arthritis - a persistent pain in my side, eczema, hot flashes, IBS, migraine headaches, and eventually the cholazeans on my eyes. I highly recommend Wisdom Path Healing Center. On one of my early visits, Dr. Amen said something to me to the effect of, "We can cure this. If you get rid of more than 95% of symptoms, I don't know what a cure is." In my time with him, we have gotten rid of probably 99% of the arthritis and 100% of the migraines, side pains, IBS, and eczema. I now see the cost as an investment in myself. It's worth it. My only image of rheumatoid arthritis was a cousin who was wheelchair bound for all of her adult life since her early 20s. I wasn't prepared for that, so I was happy to work with them and to see significant changes in a relatively short period of time. It's a family business, and so I have watched the children grow, and all of the adults know me and my life. It's the best healthcare I receive.

This place has changed my life!! I started the IP protocol in June in preparation for my wedding…read morebut also just out of frustration in trying to lose weight. I've been overweight my whole life and was able to manage to lose 100lb through diet and exercise while in college and grad school. When I started working the weight came back and then some and I have been trying to lose it ever since. I've tried everything from an array of diets, expensive gyms, etc., all to no avail. Completely desperate, I skeptically attended an info session and ended up signing up. Within the first 3 months I lost 45lb!!!! Here are some thoughts on the different aspects: The Clinic: The clinic is in a little strip mall in the Palisades, probably the only complaint I have in this entire review is the location of the clinic. You either have to drive or take a rare bus, but luckily driving is an option for me. I do wish they had a downtown location though. The receptionist is friendly and really helpful! Alina is the coach I have been working with for the majority of my time on the protocol. She is AWESOME!!! She's encouraging and nice when she needs to be but will also lay down the law. I hope she doesn't mind me saying but she's on the Protocol as well and knows how it feels. She has great attention to detail and will pick up on little things in your food journal. She also gives her personal phone number and is available almost always to provide advice-- I've texted her in desperate moments or when I just need a quick answer and she always answers quickly. She really cares for the people she coaches and it shows in her work! I have seen a couple other coaches but they were lackluster in comparison to Alina. I'm sure they would be great in their own right but I've been spoiled. The Protocol: As part of the protocol you meet weekly with a coach. Your initial consultation is 30 minutes and you go through a series of information and baseline measurements. Subsequent check ins are 15 minutes and you go over your measurements, food journal, and any questions or issues. The clinic is really good and efficient with these. The protocol itself is pretty simple and you get a sheet of paper with all of your instructions. As long as you stick to the sheet you will lose weight. Simple as that! The hard part is dealing with social situations but eventually your find ways around it. No exercise is required and there's a period that you can't exercise when starting the program. I actually like working out so this was a bit difficult, but eventually you find what works for you. It is expensive but in the end you save because there are no incidental expenses like happy hours, starbucks, gum, snacks, etc. Besides the cost of the IP products you have to buy lean protein and veggies which can be done on a budget. In the end it works out and it's definitely work the weight you'll lose. I even quit my gym membership so ultimately my net spending on fitness and nutrition is not much different to what I was spending before. It does have a lot of restrictions but the results are fast! Understanding that this is temporary will take you a long way with motivation. In Phase 3 and 4 of the protocol you can have butter and toast! Something I never thought I would be able to have again! The other piece is finding your routines, it takes some time to get there but eventually you fall into a rhythm and it becomes almost mechanical. The Food: This is obviously subjective. I have a huge sweet tooth so this diet has ended up working well for me because on what other diet can you have a chocolate shake for breakfast, a rice crispy treat for lunch, and wafer cookies for snack and still lose weight?! (These are my 3 faves) When you start the program they give you a sampler supply that's supposed to get you through the first week and then some. You get to try a variety of product and you soon figure out which foods you gravitate toward. The biggest thing is keeping an open mind that first week-- there were some things I loved and some things I hated. Eventually you'll come up with some staples that will become your go tos. I like to experiment with a product I haven't tried every now and then. I personally am not a huge fan of the entrees and savory snacks but that's just me. The pancake mix make great waffles that taste like normal ones and the maple oatmeal tastes like quaker oats to me! In additional there are several Pinterest boards, websites, facebook groups, etc. that all have recipes for IP products. For boxes of stuff I didn't like, I've always been able to find a recipe to use it up. For example the potato puree made great bread rolls! I also have a chocolate mug cake almost every day! I know I did a lot of research before signing up so I hope this review gives enough information for someone teetering on the edge of a decision. I would highly recommend not only this program but this clinic to anyone!!!
