I contacted Gail and have thrived in her emotional holding and nutritional guidance and feel so much better - physically and mentally. I thought I needed a new mattress because I was waking up sore - turned out I had some food sensitivities I wasn't even aware of. Gail helped me identify them and has this 40 yo feelin' 30! This is the time, you are worth it - get with Gail!

I am just over halfway through my six-month journey with Gail at Align Health Coaching. It has been…read moretransformative already. Unlike other health and nutrition accounts I have followed/things I have tried, Gail truly gets into the science and "why" behind nutrition and health. She has helped me think about how food makes me feel and how my hormones and inner balance are affected by my choices. Mostly, my goals have expanded beyond weight loss into a more lifelong focus on wellbeing. The work is not only focused on nutrition, however. Gail gets into the bigger picture of longevity, mindfulness, and happiness through support in my exercise and mental health. She has taught me about meditation which I already see as a pivotal tool for my wellbeing. When I feel I am at a plateau, Gail gives advice to keep going. Finally, Gail is a wonderful person who makes me WANT to make better choices for myself. She is encouraging and joyful and does a good job of giving "tough love" when needed. She is so knowledgeable. I would recommend anyone to work with Gail for a great investment in themselves.

As I have progressed through my 50"s my body began to change in ways that I did not know what to do…read morefor self-help. The more I researched diets, healthy eat lifestyles and so on the more overwhelmed I became by all the different ways that a person could go about seeking a healthier lifestyle. My body ached so badly at the age of 55 that I could not imagine how I would feel in my 60's and 70's. I was convinced that what I ate was my issue. Therefore, I sought out a nutritional coach and found Mary Sabat. Mary's detox program was exactly what I needed. Before I completed my detox my body felt so much better that, I knew I had made the right choice by seeking Mary's help. I am now 25 pounds down and I have no idea how many inches I have lost in the last two month. I have been able to walk almost every day from two to four miles at a time. Before the detox I would hurt for days after walking....no more of that! In addition, I am a stress eater and the cravings for foods (mainly carbs) that I had before the detox has almost completely subsided. I have been tempted to eat, but I have been able to focus on walking when before that was impossible. I am a teacher (during these Covid time) and I am working on a Specialist degree so temptation has been there for sure! Mary's coaching helped me to know the correct combinations of food and the times of day in which to eat these food combinations. Mary understands how menopause affects a woman's body and can help you to understand how to rebound from these menopausal influences. Do not be afraid to invest in yourself, I wish I had done this years ago!

Her program, recipes, etc are so easy to follow, I never felt deprived of anything and, if I can do it anyone can. I Highly recommend Mary, she gave me my life back!

On top of seeing big shifts in my body, I am also more calm and content. Feeling a lot of love toward myself and having more fun than I used to. I definitely recommend working with her if you're struggling with weight loss, food issues, or generally being stuck in a rut. She's the one to go to.

UPDATE: I never thought I had a serious candida overgrowth but a small question to Dr. Jim got me…read moreto investigating. The tongue can tell a lot about what might be going on with someone. I read that the overgrowth can go systemic, into the bloodstream and into organs. I never mentioned in my original post that I had recently had a horrible sore throat that seemed to go into my esophagus - never had anything like this before - and it wasn't going completely away. Trouble swallowing. Medical doctor did bloodwork and I was negative for Covid antibodies. I am convinced that the patch in my lung is from the candida, which can cause pneumonia. In addition I do not want to take anti-fungal drugs so I am following a strict protocol of attempting to eliminate the overgrowth. Dr. Jim told me the foods I was allowed to eat and that it could take a number of weeks to get my body back to where it should be. So I am sticking this out because he said: "If you think what you have now is bad, it's only going to get worse if you don't stop it." In addition, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jim Di Blasi. The office is completely safe for Covid-19 and they follow protocol. And the office has a very pleasant atmosphere.

After years of yo yo dieting, I had given up on myself and weight ballooned up to close to 350 pounds. When I called Sheryl, my eating was completely out of control. I needed someone to help me to gain control of my eating habits and my weight. Sheryl's approach was much different than the other plans I had tried before. During our first session she spent two hours asking me what I ate daily and designed a plan around the foods I liked to eat. Yes, you still need to eat nutritional foods to lose weight, but thankfully you aren't restricted to carrots and lettuce. :). There are no prepacked foods, or shots necessary to start to lose weight on Sheryl's plan. After a short time on the plan, I stopped craving the foods that sends my eating out of control. I also found it easy to get back on the plan on few occasions when I strayed. So far with Sheryl's help I have lost 60lbs, and I am confident with what I have learned, I can remain in control during my weight loss journey. It is also great to know that Sheryl is there to give you accountability, and help guide you when you hit a plateau. Sheryl really cares out her client. As my weight has come down, Sheryl has become a friend and has given me advice on how to better handle other parts of my life. My only regret about working with Sheryl, was that I did not meet her years ago.
