Her deep, science-based understanding of physiology, especially when it comes to female and athletic bodies, is truly unmatched. She meets you exactly where you are, tuning in to your personal needs while offering practical, meaningful guidance that leads to real change. What sets Shanti apart is her whole-body, natural approach. She's not someone who pushes a Western medicine fix for everything--she's incredibly attuned to the body's natural rhythms and honors the simplicity and wisdom of how we're built. She challenges me in the best ways, always pushing me toward actual growth while being emotionally supportive and truly caring along the way. And honestly--her approach works. I've been dealing with insulin resistance and hormonal shifts, and in just two months I've experienced a major, positive transformation in how I feel and how my body functions. I first worked with Shanti before my wedding and reached my goals, and came back to her when I decided to come off birth control. The results have been even more powerful the second time around. If you're ready to take real action and make sustainable, lifelong changes for your health, I can't recommend Shanti enough. She's the real deal

After a telephone screening of 4 different nutritionists in the East Bay, Tamar and I clicked right off the bat. She has such a warm and understanding disposition, with vast nutritional knowledge and a strong professionalism that makes you feel you're in the right hands. I mean, she can get down onto the nutritional science level if you want to go there with her! During our first in-person meeting in the clinic, we started by establishing my goals, started on the plan to reach those goals, went through my medical, exercise, and nutritional histories, and she took all my measurements as a baseline. Our second in-person meeting was a field trip to Berkeley Bowl, where she walked me through the nutrition labels on the backs of different food products, pointing out the things I should be looking for when I shop for food. Subsequent in-person meetings included continued measurements, a full customized eating plan, a ton more nutritional education (including her philosophy on supplements), and support as we progressed through my goals. Perhaps one of the most beneficial aspects of the program is the continued support on our weekly phone calls (between in-person meetings). We met once a week to review my successes and areas of improvement from the previous week. For example, she provided me with a phone app to track my food consumption, and using that app, she provided guidance on things I could have done better, such as better balancing of fats vs. proteins, or an increase in a certain micronutrient in a particular meal. This phone app, I must say, was a very important tool for me. The weekly calls also included accountability and psychological support when I ran into mental challenges, for example, I had a major chocolate splurge one day, and we talked through what led up to that and how to prevent and recover from it in the future. Ok, I'll wrap this up by saying that I got everything I wanted out of Tamar's program and much more, and my results speak for themselves. I lost 20 lbs and 10% body fat following Tamar's guidance, and perhaps even more importantly, I have built the framework, knowledge base, support systems, and confidence to continue my journey in weight loss and health through nutrition. If you're considering hiring a nutritionist to help you with your goals, I highly recommend Tamar at Triholistic Nutrition - she was wonderful!!

I sought out Tamar after I began having stomach issues and had to go on medication for it. I'm…read moresomeone who likes to handle my health issues through lifestyle management rather than meds whenever I can, so I was excited to meet with Tamar and start designing a plan to eradicate my symptoms and restore my digestive health. I was impressed with Tamar's services from the start because they are very hands on and designed to help evaluate, diagnose and treat. Right off the bat, Tamar had me track my daily diet on an app so she could get an understanding of my eating habits. The app was easy to use once I familiarized myself with it and it has almost every food on the planet in it's library (brand names included) so that I could accurately track exactly what I was eating and drinking each day. Tamar set up weekly calls to review the food and drink that I had tracked over the week and evaluated the results with me over the phone. For one of the in-person meetings, she walked me through Berkeley Bowl, educating me on the foods that were healthy and responsible vs. those that were not. She also offers blood and stool testing to help analyze what is happening in your gut. Depending on the results, there are supplements she will suggest to help repair anything that is out of whack. She will review your results and any supplement regimens with you extremely thoroughly so that you feel clear and comfortable before moving forward. Based on test results, she also creates a recipe book for you that will make it easy and straightforward to incorporate healthy and compatible foods into your diet. Although I originally came to Tamar to help alleviate digestive issues that I was experiencing, what I got was a whole lot more. Tamar provided me with foundational knowledge on nutrition that I will be able to carry with me for the rest of my life. While I've been working with her, I've been a lot more aware of the decisions that I make about my diet, as well as what I choose to consume and why. I think twice about what I pick up at the grocery store, where I choose to eat out and what I choose to order. This process has taught me that it isn't that hard to exercise discipline when it comes to what I put in my body and that if you commit to it long enough to see results, that you begin to take pride in your diet. In the past, I've always been someone who did just enough to alleviate any unsavory symptoms I was experiencing until they went away and then I would return back to bad habits. Throughout this process, I've learned that what I put in my body has a huge impact on how I feel and feeling good feels good. I'd like to keep feeling good, so I think I will heed the lessons I've learned from my time with Tamar and not slip back into bad habits again. Hopefully.

She is less rigid and formulaic in her approach which I love. I'm a crazy person in collecting data and having tons of questions especially after using a CGM to manage my diet these last few months. Kelsey met me where I am and was willing to accommodate all of my questions and challenging nature in the area of food. Given how sensitive food can be and the emotions here, I realize that competence mattered but also chemistry and ethos. Kelsey's positive nature as well as her willingness to go above and beyond to address my concerns is really impressive. I highly recommend her and already made my wife connect with her. So nothing but positive things to say here!!

They can design diets to treat specific medical conditions. Emily has her Master's and is a registered dietician. As I'm getting older, my usual lifestyle and tricks weren't enough to keep the pounds packing on. I had some success with Keto but the calorie count wasn't sustainable and I veered off course, like crash and burn off course. And I eat out. All. The. Time. I don't find cooking relaxing or therapeutic. Don't judge. I just needed someone to give me a meal plan. I went to Emily, and in the end, she gave me so much more than a meal plan. At our initial intake, she explained her philosophy - no fad diets, just real food, and you can have what you want in moderation. Emily has lots of tricks up her sleeve and truly works a meal plan that fits your lifestyle. More importantly, she is making me think about WHY and WHAT I eat because if you are going to her, there's something you want to change. I thought I just wanted my macros and suggestions for meals that fit within it, but it turns out I needed more of a coach than a nutritionist. She listens -- and makes an actionable plan for me. She checks in -- to hold me accountable. She's knowledgeable and I learn from her. She has several flexible plans -- with meal plans, without, meet in person (prior to COVID-1) or video conference. And it's all working -- I've lost some pounds, I'm learning about myself and why I eat, how to stick to my stated goals, and yes, even cook a little. I highly recommend Emily!

We both knew we weren't eating very well and that we wanted to change our approach to nutrition, but there are so many sources online, they all have conflicting information, and we didn't know where to start. When we met with Laura, she was patient, gave us information and tools that fit our needs, and helped us set up a "nutrition plan" that worked for us and our busy schedules. While we met with her in 2019, we still use our learnings to this day. We still do meal planning the way she suggested, we still prepare some of the recipes she suggested, and we find ourselves saying, "remember what Laura said about XYZ." If you're looking for a way to revamp your approach to food and nutrition, I HIGHLY recommend working with Laura. She will help you develop good nutrition habits for life.

I was frustrated, depressed, annoyed, and just simply hated food. Everything I ate had an adverse reaction, and i didn't know what I was supposed to do. Doctors were no help. Their solution is either attend a group nutrition class they offered (not specific to my needs), or just simply don't eat/drink things that are bothering you. ... Which really was everything. Prior to working with Laura, I interviewed 3-4 nutritionists/RDs. I explained the challenges I had along with my health challenges. Almost all of them told me they wanted me to switch to the fodmap diet right away. This is where Laura stood out. She actually listened, asked me to provide a food log for 4-5 days so she could understand my eating habits and how the food i was eating was making me feel. She carved out a plan that suited me. Fit my schedule. I still could eat things I liked or found a substitute. But most importantly, she helped me understand food, what i needed, and how to achieve my goals. It was a change, but one that worked and still works for me. I don't resent the things i've had to give up because i now understand how it affects me. The knowledge she shared has helped me recognize symptoms and avoid major pain and suffering. I highly recommend Laura. She is very knowledgeable, professional, works with you to fit your lifestyle. Change is necessary sometimes, but it doesn't mean you have to suffer and be miserable. Investing in Laura is a lifetime investment in yourself. Her solutions aren't a bandaid fix and she doesn't follow fads. She will guide you to healthier choices to meet your goals.

I needed to know how to eat better, and how to have a better relationship with food. After a few hundred dollars, I had gained five pounds, was less confident, felt like an idiot, and had to stop because it was too expensive. I've since gained forty pounds, and now I'm afraid of dieting. My concerns were ignored, my personal goals glossed over, and I never got any nutritional advice. I was left afraid to go back to my old diet, because she told me that I was destroying my metabolism with it, but with no idea how to start a new one. At the outset, I made it clear that my finances were limited, but that quickly gave way to expensive sessions every week that I couldn't afford, and finally had to give up on. It pains me to leave a negative review like this, because as a person, Toni is very nice. But I have to be honest. I spent several hundred dollars, only to end up the fattest I've been in my life, frustrated, and at my lowest point. Not only did I not get healthier, I'm so unsure and afraid of dieting now that I don't know if I ever will.

Everything I learned from her almost 4.5 years ago has still stuck with me to this day. I even occasionally refer to her emails and notes when I need to remember something regarding food planning/nutrition. I made great progress when I started with her in 2021 to 2023, which was when I did a lot of endurance training. I dialed back on my fitness the past year and a half and didn't stay on a consistent nutrition plan, so my body comp has changed a bit since previous years. Nothing drastic, but I'm back to being consistent and motivated to make some positive changes this year. I would not have been as easily motivated without Madeleine's previous coaching!!! I found it so easy to bounce back into a consistent food routine. She instilled in me a lasting lifestyle change and a shift in perspective when it comes to fueling and eating that truly sticks over the years. It was so easy to remember her simple and realistic tips - food swaps to get more protein into each meal, being mindful of hunger cues, and healthy snack swaps. It's amazing how these simple changes can make an impact on your daily macros. In this day and age with social media advice and AI meal planning, the value of having a supportive and knowledgeable real human who can individually tailor and guide your nutrition goals accurately is so apparent. Plus, having someone there to answer your questions at any time in between your coaching sessions gives you that extra oomph of support. If you are considering using Results Food Coaching, I would stop your search here and get in touch with the team right now!!

Madeleine is extremely supportive - welcomes emails/texts and responds promptly. No question goes unanswered, and I tend to ask a lot of questions. Meal plans are simple and easy to follow. Something that stood out that I was not expecting was... during our first meeting she requested a list of various restaurants I frequent and gave me a bunch of options at each that supported my health goals. And since then she has provided this support when I'm traveling or going out to eat somewhere new (but I honestly have to ask less frequently because she has taught me what to look for). Highly recommend working with Madeleine to reach your goals!

With one session, I already had a great choice of meals and a better understanding about macro-nutrients and the body. Ruth also help me set a few short, mid, and long term goals. As I put into practice her suggestions daily, more questions would come up, and she was there to answer.
