I attended a workshop from Crave Health as a recommendation from my running coach. I was getting…read moreinjured often and hitting walls on long runs. 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.

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 have never been older and never been in better health. The program is SO good. They analyze every detail and give you education, counseling, training, and support from every angle. My trainer was Melina and she is the best trainer I EVER had. My dietician was Shelly who is equally amazing. Sammie, the scheduler is on top of every detail. I used Chris for the counseling and he was great. Dr. Dedomenico is the man who started this amazing program. I was shocked to learn that he still oversees EVERY patient. When getting my mid-term measurements the commented on how he was impressed with my progress. My first thought was "he know about me?" Then they told me that they have weekly round table discussions about EVERY client and how to help them. Amazing level of detail and personal treatment. The Pro Club staff were also incredible. They are so in tune with their clients, fun, happy, and take the time to learn your name and who you are. The facility is second to none.

Miscellaneous notes -- it's housed in the PRO Sports Club in Bellevue and this place is BUSY and is teeming with people from everywhere, but it seems like mostly Microsoft.

Dear Iulia, I can't…read morethank you enough for the impact you've had on my health, and the health of my family. By following the Program you've designed and tailored weekly for me, you've given me the ability to fix ailments that nothing and nobody else had been able to fix before. You've also armed me with enough understanding on nutrition and health such that I know how to help myself maintain my newfound health gains. There were five key problems I noted during my initial screening 8 months ago. I'm simply astounded by the results I've achieved by following basic dietary recommendations you made for me and augmenting them with targeted whole food dietary supplements. I thank you for these results: better sleep, higher and steadier energy levels, no more aches and pains in my hip/knee/ankle, and no more stomach pain or uncontrollable urges. Remarkable results for such a wide range of issues that I wrote on my intake form-sort of as a wish list-not expecting you to fix everything! I appreciate each office visit because you take time to educate me on different elements of nutrition - what is best to eat, or avoid, based on my specific organ deficiencies, when and how to eat, and even how to cook certain meals. There're a lot of opinions and advice to be found online and from friends these days, but sifting through all of this data unguided never brought me to the level of understanding and confidence about food that you've brought me to in short order. As happy as I am that I feel better these days, I'm even happier that your programs have had a significant impact on both of my children. My active teenage son can play more soccer without the issues he had before starting your program and my daughter no longer complains about stomach aches or skin issues. Even better than this, you've educated them on what to eat or not to eat, and why. I feel they have a framework for good health for life that they just weren't getting by listening to Mom and Dad alone. For all of this, I'm grateful and appreciative beyond words. I look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely, Chris Hensley

Maria has been extraordinary in helping me in my journey to be as healthy as I can be!…read more I began working with Maria Faires, RD owner of Active Nutrition Fitness in December for mountaineering training to help me prepare for climbing Mt. Hood through the American Lung Association-Climb for Clean Air program. Maria is both a dietitian and personal trainer, so she has helped me identify lifestyle habits that needed some adjustments with both my nutrition and my fitness workouts. She designed an awesome program for me to keep my nutrition in check and monitor my body composition values. I've lost unneeded weight, body fat, and gained important lean muscle mass! And it has been easy. One of my goals was to lose a few pounds before my climb so she has helped me adjust my nutrition so that I can both lose the weight and train at a high level. She has provided me with sports nutrition guidance for my mountaineering and given me easy, healthy recipes, meal, and snack ideas. It's been easy to follow...and I am a single bachelor! She truly cares about me and my health and is always there to consult with me, give me kudos for accomplishments, and she keeps me accountable! Climbing Mt.
