Dr. Jodi is a great doctor who will help you lose your unwanted weight. She has helped me get to a…read morelevel where I am comfortable once again. She has helped a lot of people and when you make an appointment with her, you will understand why. She is living proof that by changing your eating habits and doing some exercises, this will definitely help you achieve what you are looking for. She is very compassionate and caring to all of her patients. What I really enjoy about her is her honesty and integrity. Not many people in life are quite like her and I am glad that I met her.

Due to osteoarthritis in multiple joints, I can now barely stand and walk. My weight ballooned to…read morethe heaviest I had ever been. I need both knees replaced. My previous orthopedic surgeon told me to get bariatric surgery and when I lost enough, then I could have knee surgery. We had a parting of the ways instead. My current orthopedic surgeon first referred me to a hospital weight management program. One of the best things that happened was the clinic was moving offices and didn't get back to me in a timely fashion. In the meantime, my doctor asked if I wanted to try keto. Sure, I said, why not? One year after starting a supervised keto diet with Dr. Jodi, I've lost 75 lbs, halfway to the minimum amount I want to lose. Knee replacement surgery for the right side is scheduled to take place in a couple of months, with surgery on the left side happening three months later. You ease into the diet and ketosis. If you follow it, it is unlikely you will experience keto flu. You get food lists and guidance, not meal plans, which wouldn't work for me as I have multiple food allergies and some dislikes. The plan is balanced, low carb, and lower fat. Healthy eating that can be sustained for a lifetime. For various reasons, I deviated twice from the diet. Never again. Once I ate rice. It threw me out of ketosis and I felt sick for two days. I had to restart the diet. Recently I ate canned luncheon meat slices and hot dogs. It was eat that, or nothing. I should have gone with nothing. Soon it felt as though there was a pile of bricks in my stomach. I threw up six times. My stomach could not take that much fat anymore. I was a sugar fiend. I couldn't stand any bitter taste or overpowering foods. I no longer crave sugar. In fact, I rarely eat anything sweet anymore. I have 90% dark chocolate now and then and things like bell peppers now without a problem. Before, I couldn't stand these. My taste buds have been reprogrammed. I realized texture is way more important to me than I thought. I go online and try various keto recipes. Most are quick and easy and are delicious. If you share your keto dishes with others, and you didn't tell others they were low carb, they'd never know, because they taste so good. Because I get enough protein, I am rarely hungry. My hair and nails grow very fast. Dr. Jodi and I meet via telehealth, which is great for me. In between appointments, if I have questions, I email her. The diet requires patience and a focus on the long-term. Weight loss is not a linear process. You may occasionally gain a bit, which is a sign the diet is out of balance - maybe too much fat, water retention from too much salt, etc. I keep a food and drink diary that I share with Dr. Jodi before each appointment so she can provide feedback. I have two friends doing keto unsupervised. Both are struggling. It's been easy for me, but of course everyone is different. I went online to see what some websites say about keto, and they've twisted it to be a meat (fat) heavy diet. Bad for your health and unsustainable, even if you lose weight. Dr. Jodi supervises a clean keto diet, emphasizing whole, fresh foods. There are many packaged products out there labeled as keto. Yes, they are low carb, but they are not healthy and are filled with crap ingredients. This is the only diet I've been on that I feel I can sustain and won't gain the weight back afterwards. I check out restaurant menus to see which ones have things I can eat. So I'm still able to eat out or get restaurant food delivery. Keto isn't for everyone. But you can try it, and if it doesn't suit you, you can stop. At least you tried.

I had a life-changing experience during and after the Intuitive Energy Healing session with…read moreChristina. A lot of stored emotions were released, and I felt the difference on all levels - mind, body, and spirit. I can say that I feel like a heavy burden has left my body. :-) It was that amazing experience that also made me take Reiki training with Christina, with the intention of helping others experience some of the benefits I did. I am so very grateful to Christina. She is a deeply loving, kind, compassionate, and wise being--an absolute delight to be around.

Would highly recommend if in need of a compassionate, loving soul to help facilitate inner growth.

I had two options either an another MD from halewia or Pakaloha. I initially choose her because I would rather talk to a person then exchange private information over text. Very professional. She not only professional but also can give you advice on what strains might be causing dry mouth or whatever you might be experiencing as cannabis user. I did book and pay the deposit of $40 which is taken in order to book appointment. After the consultation over the phone, she will charge $69.95 and submit your work to the state. She does explain everything over the phone. The fact that she knows what she talking about. I'd highly recommend her. You never know what they are putting and how the grow mj.

A delightful experience! I'm an older human who remembers a time when there was stigma attached to…read morecannabis use. I guess there still is in some scenarios. For that reason I put off getting my 329 card for years, but I did what I had to do on my own to relieve my chronic pain and insomnia. Certain strains are better for different purposes but you don't know what you are getting when you buy from friends. Fast forward to present time and now my pain is quite acute and unbearable. Unfortunately, I can't take prescription or over the counter pain relievers because of another medical condition I have. Cannabis -- especially high CBD strains -- does the trick, so I knew it was time to apply for a card. Look, we've all dealt with the State of Hawaii for things, so I had to psych myself up for the red tape I was about to claw through, but I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. I looked into it and filled out the application online on Friday, made a telemedicine appointment with Abi at Pakaloha Care for Saturday. I'm not thinking too clearly due to the pain and she explained the entire process step-by-step, and helped me gather all of the needed documentation and fix some errors. The completed application was submitted to the State on Monday. Today is Tuesday and I was able to download an electronic version of my card. All I can say to that is Sweet Relief! I can't recommend Abi at Pakaloha Care enough, for walking me through all of the steps with kindness and compassion. She also leaves the door wide open for follow-up questions and adjustments to dosing. If you fear applying for a 329 card will be complicated, I assure you she will ease your mind. I've been leaving mostly negative reviews lately because customer service has deteriorated everywhere, and it is my pleasure to spread the Aloha that Abi extended to me. If you are thinking about it, what are you waiting for?

I had one session with Nicole about two months ago, at the end of April (2018). I didn't write…read morethis review immediately, because I felt I needed time to process the experience. I wanted to see the long term results. While I did feel lighter mentally, emotionally, and spiritually immediately after the experience due to all the release from the work, it's the long term results that have been the most impactful. There have been great shifts in my life as it relates to relationships, releasing the past and what no longer serves me, and moving in new, healthy directions in my personal and professional life. In the days and weeks after the session, I became aware of relationship patterns with others in my inner most circle that were not healthy, and I began setting boundaries and letting go of the past in new ways. I was open to seeing things more objectively, as well as taking action for positive change. I'm so grateful for the work Nicole did with me! She is a deeply sensitive, kind, empathic, nurturing soul. I highly recommend her for this type of personal, life changing endeavor. If you're looking to heal and release the past, NET with Nicole is a great approach.

Nicole is amazing! I saw her over the past summer, and I'm glad I did! I am a very emotional…read moreeater, however, I never knew why or what emotions were causing me to eat in that way. Emotional eating was basically my lifestyle and I knew that I was suppressing many emotions that I didn't want to deal with through food. In order to get to the root of the problem, Nicole helped me to find out what memories from different times in my life were suppressed and which emotions needed to be felt in order to overcome my disordered eating patterns. Come to find out, many of my seemingly unimportant memories had emotions tied to them that I failed to experience, resulting in a build up over time that I continued to cover with food. Of course, my emotional eating brought about other issues in my self confidence and weight. But now that I know which memories and emotions are causing my disordered eating, I have found new coping mechanisms for when these types of situations appear in my life. Dealing with these emotions rather than suppressing them with food has kept me from emotional eating and has allowed me to release the extra weight that I have picked up because of emotional eating. Without Nicole's help, I would never have known why I was eating the way I was and would have continued down the path of emotional eating.

Unfortunately, I wasn't making progress with my doctor or physical therapy, so I decided to give Miles a try--and what a difference this last year has made! I can't thank Miles enough for listening to me, building a connection, and helping me develop good habits. The knowledge he's shared about how my body works and what I can do to improve my movement and overall health has been everything. Miles personalizes each workout session, taking into account factors like weather, injuries, and even my mood. He always comes prepared with equipment (sled, kettle bells, jump rope, bands, etc.) and a game plan and explains it in a way I can understand and incorporate into my daily life. The motivation and support were perfect, when I needed a push, he gave it and when I needed some time, he respected that, he figured out what I needed to get going and that is something that doesn't come easy with my personality, haha. As for results, Miles has far exceeded any expectations I had for him or myself. I'm now back to walking on the beach, enjoying hikes, and gradually increasing my daily movement, showing up for myself. My days are mostly free of knee pain, and I have a new motivation to keep moving. 100% recommend!

Having just become a father he worked around our schedule and we were able to train in different areas, keeping the workouts fun and new. Weve learned so much from him and still use what he has taught us everyday. With his calm and relaxed conduct, it was easy to become good friends and someone who we confide in. Plus he's got some good basketball skills too.... I highly recommend Miles
