But, in the end the weight always came back on. More importantly, none of these diets solved the issues that were making me feel poorly. This past winter I hit a new low. Not only was I at my all time heaviest, but I was experiencing severe acid reflux, allergy symptoms and almost daily headaches. At my wits end and very discouraged, my wife urged me to get the help I needed, not just put a temporary bandaid on these problems. I reached out to Jen Thomas of Evolved Nutrition in Wallingford, hoping she might be able to help. Within three weeks of working with Jen, my headaches had disappeared (I haven't had a single headache in over three months working with Jen) and I was able to come off of my acid reflux medication. I am eating better than I ever have thanks to the food plan Jen designed specifically for me. Her knowledge of nutrition and what foods are needed to achieve certain goals is absolutely amazing. Oh, and did I mention that I lost 30 lbs., too! I would recommend Jen and Evolved Nutrition to anyone that wants to make a positive, healthy change in their life. I am so thankful to Jen for helping me develop good eating habits that I feel confident will last a lifetime.

Lovely location, nice people and great classes…read more Although in the heart of Essex, finding parking in downtown was no problem at all. (Might be interesting to revisit the parking in summer to see if it's as easy) Essex Wellness Center has an office location on Main Street and a separate workout facility. A standard gym membership with 24 hour access is available for purchase as well as many different classes. I was a little hesitant about working out in Downtown Essex, as I normally feel really uptight in this town, but, This time of year is really quiet with mostly year round residents who are a little more mellow than the summer crowd. I tried a Yoga class with Belinda. It was held upstairs in a clean open room with high ceilings and interesting circular details, with full windows looking towards the water. The class was so relaxing that I didn't feel my body stressing at all. She had some great tips to help with my balance and posture. In fact I didn't think I had gotten much of a workout, until I got home and climbed my stairs. All my muscles were happily "worked." It really was masterful to feel so relaxed that I didn't even realize how much my body was working. My one complaint is I wish she did some corrections, rather than work on her own mat. Afterwards was an optional mediation class. This is open to the public at no charge, and is an amazing way for people to experience the Wellness Center. I'm looking forward to trying them again in the daytime so I can see the ocean while working out.

I went home feeling great and like a big weight had been lifted. I am no longer a skeptic and would highly recommend Krystal for a facial like no other. Who knows what might transpire?
