Marci is a fabulous nutritionist! She was recommended to me by CEDC after I finished an intensive…read moreoutpatient program there. 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). I found Marci to be really honest, smart, and easy to talk to. If you're looking for a nutritionist who can help you with emotional eating, Marci's your gal!

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).

Short Yelp Review: Lauren Dear Saved My Gut…read more Long Yelp Review: I moved from India to the United States 12 years ago - my family got over it, but my gut didn't. What was once my happy, thriving and healthy GI tract turned miserable, agonized and sensitive. I developed multiple sensitivities to various types of food and my digestion seemed to limp to catch up with all the self-restrictive dietary changes and modifications. I love good, pure, healthy food - and my misbehaving GI tract was a major burden, affecting my quality of life. For 12 years, I made-do - making dietary tweaks here and there, but a couple of months ago, I just hit a wall and decided to get professional help. Lauren came highly recommended by folks who knew me personally. She introduced me to the FODMAP diet - nay, the FODMAP way-of-life! In 2 weeks, following the FODMAPs list of acceptable food choices, my symptoms of bloating, gassiness, and general gut malaise has vastly improved. There still are certain tweaks I will need to make down the road, but as of now - I am not petrified of the consequences of eating. I just need to choose what types of healthy food I can eat, that will be tolerated. Working with Lauren is a pleasure - she's curious, attentive to your woes, is non-judgmental, and shows genuine care and empathy. She actually listens without prejudice or condescension. If you have GI troubles, go to Lauren! With practices in Brookline and in Boston (Downtown Crossing), she's very accessible via all modes of transportation. Thank you for saving my gut, Lauren!

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. I was really blown away. While you need to be committed to do the work, Jillian's plans are in no way restrictive and really set you up to optimize your health for the long term.

I recently completed a 3-month course of Wellness Coaching with Rachel Gargano. It turned out to be…read morea surprisingly incredible investment...in myself. It seemed like so much in my life was just wrong. I was feeling depressed, overweight and frustrated with myself for not being more accomplished in my life. Can you say low self-esteem? But part of my problem was not knowing what I wanted to accomplish. When I found Rachel, I went to her with the vague notion that I wanted something to change in my life. In fact, I wanted a lot of changes. Basically I set "improve my life" as a 3 month goal. I wanted to feel positive about myself, I wanted a sense of fulfillment. But Rachel didn't back away from my ambiguous needs. Methodically, week by week, she helped me identify the sources of my distress and set targeted mini-goals to work on tackling the issues I had. My personal experience started and ended with an emphasis on nutrition. I was overweight and unhappy. But with each appointment with Rachel, we uncovered a realm of issues that were unexpected and varied and entirely managed by Rachel's expertise! I was amazed that she had so much more to offer than nutritional advice. She dealt with my blues and my lack of motivation with calming advice and that list of weekly mini-goals that were doable, imminently helpful and always on track with my vision for the positive person that I wanted to become. Who knew that a gratitude exercise could make me appreciate my life? Rachel did. Daily, she had me write down 3 things that I was grateful for. This task turned out to be one of the most eye-opening for me. Try it! One thing that I registered every week was Rachel's non-judgmental attitude toward me and my problems! I never felt inhibited by what her reactions to my needs might be. From the beginning, I felt I could trust her and in turn I was able to honestly face my difficulties. It has been quite a journey and as of today I've lost 8 lbs and could not feel more positive about the direction of my life. I have optimism again but more importantly, I have tools in place not only to counteract negativity, but to actively work on positive change. An unexpected upshot to this whole experience has been my husband's involvement with "our" new way of life. He's lost 15 lbs and we plan our meals and exercise with a brand new sense of togetherness. I certainly didn't expect that. Rachel's Nutrition and Wellness coaching was so much more than I bargained for. It was a weekly boost that set me up for life.
