“There are many things my wife and I appreciate about our work with Michael. First and foremost is his commitment to us, and his willingness to continue to be our guide through the complexities of nutrition and weight issues. Michael’s positive, encouraging energy renews our hope and commitment to change. He draws upon his extensive knowledge and affinity for research to keep coming up with ideas and solutions for us. He is flexible and accommodating for our difficult schedules, and he sincerely cares about our well-being.”

“I was introduced to Michael through my family Dr. It turned out to be a great referral!! Michael has been very helpful with the process of teaching me to “change my relationship with food”. As I got older, losing weight became harder and harder. I had become a Type 2 diabetic craving sugar and carbs. Michael was instrumental in helping me slowly change my eating habits. Not only what and when I ate, but how I ate. I tended to eat like a steam shovel. It created havoc with my body. He referred it to my system going into “crisis” mode. Michael covers all the bases. He explains the physical, mental, emotional and has expertise to explain diabetes to the lay person. Michael was responsible for me losing 35 pounds and dropping my A1C from 7.5 to 6.2!! If you are at all on the fence about seeking out the help of a nutritionist, give Michael a try. Once you take a test drive and kick the tires a bit, you will see what I mean. He totally works for me. “

“Michael is great to work with, very easy to be around, very personable and friendly. He has helped me lose excess body fat and have better body composition. I have lost weight a few times before, but this time feels different with Michael’s help. It isn’t just about seeing a better number on the scale, but instead it’s about how I am feeling, looking, and my overall health. The impact he has had isn’t just limited to me; since I have started eating better my children have greatly increased their intake of veggies, which is a huge win for my family. His knowledge of food, biology, nutrition, exercise, and health is deep and informed, and he is still open to new ideas and research. I am glad to be working with him! “

“In only four months Michael has changed the way I see nutrition and my eating habits. As a female teen I’ve met with other nutritionists but I could not ask for anyone more qualified than Michael. His wholistic approach to healthy living combines his knowledge of food science, psychology, and fitness in order to meet each client where they are at with any physical or mental challenge. Every conversation leaves me energized and excited about my journey. He has enabled me to simultaneously purse goals of nutrition and physical appearance in a healthy way. I cannot emphasize his outstanding talent in this practice enough.”

“I saw Michael privately and in group nutrition classes when I was being treated with daily meds that my body couldn’t handle. I was in horrible gastrointestinal distress. I felt like the meds were killing me & the doctors said I had to stay on them for at least 10 more years.
I went to Michael looking for a way to live with the meds, to fight the disease holistically and to lose weight. It was a rough few months. We tried a variety of diet modifications to reduce the digestive distress. I ultimately chose to stop taking the meds, which was 100% my choice. I was feeling better and optimistic that I could manage my disease with diet. Michael was/is so amazing! His knowledge of whole foods, micro & macro nutrients and how the body processes everything is so helpful! And, he can debunk the fact from fiction on most social media posts.
AND!!!! During the process, Michael was the first health care provider to recognize the severity of my sugar addiction & started counseling me in ways that make sense for an eating disorder.
Now, 4 years since we met, I’m off the horrible meds & managing my disease with food. I get annual checks. My titers are negative & the mass in my lung is almost calcified. It very close to being dormant!!! Without Michael I probably wouldn’t be here. I’m so very grateful that I found him & still have him in my life today!!!
He’s a great listener, highly educated, very kind, amazing, genuine, sincere, and all kinds of wonderful! You won’t find someone better to help you on your journey!
