I am a 66-year-old woman who was suffering numerous maladies including indigestion (reflux,…read moreheartburn, stomach pain) and painful joints as well as a series of infections including double pneumonia and UTIs. What prompted me to seek professional help though, was a seizure which scared me more than any of the other symptoms. I had consulted with numerous doctors and specialists who, after many office visits and tests, provided temporary symptomatic relief but gave no answers or explanation for why I was having so many problems. My energy level was lagging and despite my age, my quality of life had declined severely over the previous 3 years. A friend had prompted me to make an appointment with Dr. Cora Rivard who had helped her considerably with a variety of problems she was experiencing. I had been taking Prilosec (omeprazole) for several years for my issues with indigestion. One of the first things Dr. Rivard addressed was the vitamin deficiencies I was experiencing due to long term use of that medication. As I suspected, many of these health issues were related and nutrition deficiencies were to blame. I cut back on the dosage of Prilosec and began a regimen of supplementation which brought my body back to the health I had enjoyed previously. Reflux, heartburn, and stomach pain went away. Joint pain virtually disappeared and infections are now a thing of the past. Dr. Rivard has worked with me to regain my health and encouraged me to become an important part of my own recovery. I recommend her and the approach she offers to anyone who is concerned about their health and well being.

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.

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).

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).
