“Before I met Linda, I spent THOUSANDS of dollars with western doctors, dermatologists, and doctors who in general made me feel like I made up all of my symptoms and issues with my health. I honestly would leave those doctors appointments crying and feeling so misunderstood - because the "solutions" they had for me were all a bandaid to the problem instead of getting to the real issue. I felt like a science experiment, them prescribing me so many pills and creams to try. The first time I spoke with Linda I was truly in disbelief, she validated my feelings and knew exactly what to do to help my issues. My 3 main health concerns were my weekly migraines, really bad eczema patches on my hands and feet, and my hormone imbalance that caused weight gain, irregular periods, and mood swings galore. Linda broke down my plan for me, and at first I was in denial that her plan would work. I called a few of her past clients that highly recommended her. I jumped in feet first and although it was a challenging 6 month holistic food plan, I made it to the finish line! It starts as a mental challenge, but then turns into feeling good every single day. Did I know what that was like before?! HECK NO! She was available to answer all of my questions, help me through extra challenges, and to give me the inspiration to keep going during the hard moments. Working with Linda is the best education for yourself and your body that you can get. Not only did my migraines go away completely!!!! but my eczema cleared up on my hands and feet. My period has come back and my hormones are balanced. I ended up losing about 45 lbs of the weight I could not get rid of prior to Linda. So many people have watched my change over the last 6 months that I have been asked almost every day how I was able to make such a huge change in my life. The answer? Linda Lin. I think I have referred her to over 20 people so far. She has changed my life for the better - I know my body so well and it's incredible how I am able to function in the world and not worry about my gut and food issues like I did before. Working with Linda has truly been the best thing I have ever done - I could not recommend her enough.”
“Linda is one of the most devastatingly, naturally beautiful people I’ve ever met. She just speaks this amazing language of positivity and empowerment. She makes you feel calm and she’s your hype-girl at the same time. Linda’s official title should be ‘Nutrition Magician and Spirit Guide’. I had been fumbling through years of ‘healthy eating’ and following every new trend to come along, but my body felt sluggish and unhappy. I was constantly bloated and exhausted. I had major surgery and was in constant chronic pain. A big ball of inflammation. I had brain fog. Since working with Linda, my energy levels are so much more consistent. On my days off I have laid down to take an afternoon nap like I’m used to doing, and haven’t needed to sleep! The bloat is leaving and I lost some stubborn weight. I am now off medications that I have taken for almost 20 years. My pain is significantly reduced. I feel clear and focused. My relationship with food is changing. I want to emphasize that I haven’t done anything differently aside from following the dietary and lifestyle changes that Linda has recommended. It’s not easy. It takes time and thoughtful planning. But it has forced me to put myself first (something I have always struggled with doing). I now enjoy coming home and prioritizing cooking for myself. I listen to a podcast or audiobook and it is precious “me” time at the end of the day. Bottom line - Linda knows what she is doing and I trust her wholeheartedly. So thankful for her guidance.”
“It is difficult to put into words all that Linda has done for me. This was so much more than a 'gut reset' or 'diet'. I have struggled my entire life with my weight and health as a result of my lifestyle. Before Linda, my life consisted of bouncing from one fad diet to the next. I could never in my wildest dreams imagine myself not needing ranch dressing with every meal or drinking at least 2 coffees a day. I was constantly exhausted and dealing with food intolerance issues daily. I was a slave to toxic chemicals and preservatives pumped into our food daily. My physical and mental health was at an all time low and I had no idea how to save myself.
Working with Linda empowered me with the confidence to understand how the choices I was making everyday were impacting not just my life but the lives of my loved ones around me. Like many Americans my fiance and I had never been properly educated on holistic nutrition and had fallen into the trap of listening to toxic marketing schemes making foods and diet trends look "healthy". From day one of working with Linda I was learning more about food and how it impacts my body than I ever have in my life.
Linda will be more than just your nutritionist she will be your cheerleader, teacher, life coach and when necessary your tough love and hard truth. She will give you the tools to awaken your best self and take control of your health. I was forced to take a hard look at myself and my inner circles to understand how I got to the place I was. In addition to the valuable knowledge I have lost over 30 pounds and have more energy than when I was a teenager. I can't stress enough how this small investment will be invaluable to your future self. I am now in the greatest season of my life thanks to Linda teaching me that if you fix your food you fix your life.”
Thanks Linda you’re the best (:
“After several rounds of antibiotics, going to numerous gastro doctors and seeing very little progress on my health, I was about ready to give up resolving my digestive issues until I luckily met Linda through a friend who had previously worked with her.
Linda gave me hope after 3 years of suffering with iron deficiency, digestive issues such as acid reflux and SIBO, and low energy. Her recommendations on diet and lifestyle changes was one of the hardest things I've ever done but definitely the most rewarding. We worked together for several months and Linda guided me along the way with confidence and encouragement when I became filled with fear. She spends time educating you on food and learning about your body. I highly recommend her for anyone who is serious about making a commitment to their health. I am eternally grateful to her for helping me heal my gut but most importantly, helping me have a different mindset around nutrition and practicing healthier habits.”
“I cannot stress enough how positive, the changes in my life have been since I began implementing the dietary advice I have received from Linda Lin. My occupation puts me in very physical situations day in and day out, and I was suffering from chronic pain in my lower back, right ankle and right knee. The pain was so immobilizing on occasion, that I was compelled to purchase and use a cane for the very bad days. I lived like that for years. Once she began giving me dietary advice, I can honestly say that all the inflammation and pain left me within the first month, it may sound miraculous but it’s true! My energy levels and circulation were dramatically improved as well, and I wasn’t taking handfuls of supplements, or doing any additional exercise. I even lost 15 lbs without trying. Feeding my body the things it needed to heal and function properly improved my mental and physical health drastically! She does it all without being anything but the most charming and caring person, while still having the ability to tell it like it is. Really, I cannot stress enough how great the experience has been for me, I plan to take her advice for the rest of my life. I thought surgery was inevitable, but I’m happy to say I am now skateboarding and doing tricks at the park instead.”
“I met Linda when I was at a very low point in my health journey and she brought me back to life. Between back problems, low energy, and digestive issues, I was not in a good place and she made me feel really hopeful that everything would get better. Even though I'm a chef and work with food every day, I really needed direction with the types of food I should be eating. I needed someone who could whip me into shape and get me out of the funk I was in.
Linda will be your cheerleader while you're going through your health journey. She taught me how to use food as medicine and how to have discipline when it comes to avoiding certain foods. I love Linda's energy and glass-half-full attitude with everything. She's an awesome person and genuinely wants to help everyone be the best version of themselves.
If you're ready to commit to getting better and doing whatever it takes to get there, I highly recommend working with Linda on a lifestyle change. You won't regret it. After working with linda, the majority of my health issues went away. My skin cleared up and my mood drastically improved. Now it's up to me to create a lifestyle with balance, but I am grateful for everything Linda has done to get me to this point. She stuck with me until the very end and she'll do the same for you.”
“Linda changed my life in ways I never thought would happen for me. I had my daughter 7 months ago and began working with Linda shortly after. Before working with Linda, I have struggled with my weight and relationship with food the majority of my life- always trying the latest diet, restricting myself and then binging later, counting calories, counting macros, the list goes on. I was always trying to lose weight and every Monday I would “start again.” I would yo-yo with my weight, but would always be back to square one because nothing was sustainable. I had terrible gut and hormone issues- puking randomly after eating, lactose intolerance, gluten intolerant, hypothyroidism, (or so I thought). I have struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life- and prior to working with Linda was on two different medicines to just be able to function. I relied on coffee for energy through the day and punished myself with grueling workouts. I come from an Italian family where food is celebrated and the center of everything we do. I also love to be social and drinking is an easy way to gather with friends.
I can confidently say my relationship with food, alcohol, and my body has never been better since working with Linda. She has taught me about how to nourish my body- minus the calorie or macro counting, minus restrictive eating. She has taught me how to use food as medicine and truly heal my body with whole food. My gut issues are non existent anymore- I have no symptoms of any intolerances of gluten or dairy. My symptoms of hypothyroidism are gone and I actually was able to get off of my medicine I have been on for over 8 years and my levels are completely healthy. My mental health is the best it has ever been and I was also able to go off of my anxiety and depression medicine with no need to have any medicinal support. My doctors were in shock (as was I).
Linda has improved my life a million different ways- losing 70 pounds, going off all of my medicines to manage diseases that were caused by my lifestyle, healing my gut- but most importantly, she has brought me back to life through whole food nutrition and education. She has opened my eyes to so many things and I am forever grateful.”
“Hiring Linda was by far the best decision I ever made for my health. I was at a point where my stomach couldn’t process anything which led to me not being able to eat normal food. Linda was the first professional to say wait there is an underlying issue and we need to fix the root cause before doing anything else. She was right! After 3 months of being on her customized food plan (just for me) and taking the supplements she recommended I started to feel like myself again and was finally able to eat the things I loved. If you have any digestive issues I highly recommend you call Linda because she truly saved my life.”
“Linda is AMAZING! The amount of knowledge that she has on nutrition and food is literally mind blowing. I’ve had stomach problems for more than 8 years. I’ve tried different foods and different diets but nothing seemed to work. This past March I went to doctors for my stomach and they couldn’t tell me what was wrong but still gave me some sort of prescription to take. I realized that I needed to speak to someone who can fix me without putting me on some prescription with terrible side effects.
I worked with Linda for 3 months. It wasn’t easy at first but it was so worth it. I now eat way more than I used, I’m more mindful and intentional of the food that I put into my body, I eat foods that used to hurt my stomach that no longer do, I no longer feel bloated after eating, my skin has cleared up and so much more. When people tell me that they have something wrong, my first response is “You should speak to Linda.”. I couldn’t be more grateful for her. What she did in a matter of 3 months, doctors couldn’t do in years.”
“Working with Linda has been truly life changing. About a year after having my son, I had stopped breastfeeding and my weight skyrocketed. I was exercising, watching portions, and would buy bigger clothes, only to grow out of them two weeks later. I was basically back to where I was when I was 9 months pregnant, and it felt like my body was out of control. I was having daily headaches, and was tired everyday and would be up for hours in the middle of the night. "The baby's slept through the night for months," I remember telling my doctor, "I don't think I should be this tired." My thyroid tests were normal, and to me there wasn't a clear explanation. My OB recommended I try an anti-inflammatory diet.
Around the same time my doctor recommended focusing on my diet, one of my friends with young kids asked if I was tired since having a baby. I thought it was a trick question. She had worked with Linda also and introduced us. At that point, it felt like my body was out of control. We knew we wanted a second baby, but I didn't want to start trying while I was in this spiral of not knowing what was going on.
The changes were immediate. Within the first week, I stopped bloating, I was finally sleeping through the night, and my headaches were gone. I wasn't drinking coffee like I had every day since high school, yet I finally had energy to play with my child. The weight began falling off, and I was no longer craving heavy pastas or cookies.
Linda tailors the nutrition plans to each person individually which is so helpful. She took into account my stress levels from having been an ICU nurse on a COVID floor throughout my pregnancy, provided recipes to help me get started, and told me what to order at restaurants when I was traveling out of state. Her calls and texts were supportive and encouraging, and provided me with a ton of information to use going forward. I appreciated that there was no calorie counting or portion limits, just the focus on nutrient dense food. She is clear with her reasoning of which food to introduce when, and provides a lot of tips for how to prepare things. I never felt like I was eating anything weird or doing an unsustainable cleanse or diet.
It was truly life changing and I can't recommend working with her enough. In total, I lost 40 pounds, my skin is clearer, and I dropped multiple clothing sizes. While the outward changes are significant, to me, it is the internal changes that have made the most difference: no more headaches, energy to enjoy playing with my kid, and the confidence of feeling like my body is under control. I feel healthier and happier than I ever have as an adult, and I am now excited for the future.”
“I am so grateful to Linda Lin. I was diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis and was scared beyond belief. I had lost 15 lbs, a ton of my hair and there was a huge nodule in my neck. Doctors put me on medications and wanted to remove my thyroid . I called Linda crying, terrifeid. She lost no time putting together a plan for me and mind you, I’m a girl who didn’t even know how to cook chicken, much less put a meal together.
Through her support and guidance, I was able to start cooking for myself and healing my body. I realized that through proper nutrition, I could help my body heal itself, which is what its made to do. She also had me incorporate lifestyle changes like meditation and bedtime rituals for stress reduction.
Her program was so difficult but it will seriously change your life. This is a lifestyle choice in a way, but it's one that is so important and if there's anyone who can coach you through it and teach you and inspire you - it's Linda. I still have my thyroid and I am now off my medictions. I recommend her highly if you are ready to take your life to the next level, learn a lot, and feel better than you've ever felt.”
“I would consider myself to be a health-conscious individual. I’ve always taken pretty good care of myself, and been mindful about eating a clean balanced diet and being active. Despite my healthy choices, I’ve struggled with significant gut issues. Before I started working with Linda, I thought I had tried everything, from western medicine to various diets and cleanses, to just about every supplement you could think of. I had been dealing with gut issues off and on for 15 years (the majority of my adulthood), and had spent tens of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, it all seemed to get even worse after having two kids (15 months apart). When we met, my fatigue and brain fog were almost unbearable. I felt like a shell of myself, and it was severely impacting my mental health. I was moody, bloated, and miserable. And I knew it wasn’t just because I had two little ones. I knew there was much more to it.
Doing a deep dive into my personal health history with Linda shed so much light on my experiences and symptoms. This also provided insight into why what I had tried wasn’t working. Linda took the time to understand my body and lifestyle, and come up with a detailed plan that made sense for me.
The first few weeks were challenging as my body eliminated and adapted, but soon I started to feel like myself again. By the end of our journey together, I had significantly increased energy and focus. My stomach felt amazing and strong. My mood was much more stable. And I actually started to get back in touch with my menstrual cycle. Not only was I able to heal my gut and body tremendously, we established a solid foundation and level of resilience as I continued my solo health journey. I am incredibly grateful to Linda for her time, energy, love, and support. She was there with me through all of it -the good, bad, and ugly. Thank you, Linda”
“When I met Linda, I was resigned to the fact that my body and health just weren’t what they used to be and that this was a part of getting older that I had to accept. Having been very fit in my teens and early 20s ( who isn’t?) I’d decided that that was an unreasonable expectation to put on myself and that I needed to embrace where I was. I shifted my focus to “health” instead of aesthetics but even from that perspective I wasn’t feeling my best. Health and fitness are very important and interesting to me, but I’d consumed so much conflicting information on the subjects that I felt I didn’t know up from down anymore, and I really needed someone to sift through the nonsense for me. Linda did that and so much more. I was incredibly impressed with how thorough Linda’s assessment was, the evaluation process took longer than I’d anticipated, but when Linda presented me with my plan it was crystal clear why that was. Linda does not give out generic nutritional advice, she has a vast knowledge of nutrition and how different things affect different people. The plan she put me on was intense but so so worth it. The initial difficulty helped me to totally reset my body, I lost 30 pounds without thinking about it and 5 months later I’ve kept it off and have zero cravings. I thought I’d have acne for the rest of my life, but with the changes Linda suggested my skin has been clear for months and I’m now off medications. I feel healthier than I was ten years ago and its all thanks to Linda.”
“I call Linda the ‘Nutritional Gangster.’ Her tagline would be, "I'm not here to entertain you!" Linda doesn't play, and I appreciate it. The nutrition industry has been sending mixed messages for way too long. Before working with Linda, I felt like I was educated but wasn't getting positive results. I went to several nutritionists and wellness coaches and had zero results.
You need to work with Linda if you want a knowledgeable, holistic nutritionist who has your best interest in mind. I worked with Linda for five months to address some underlying gut issues she identified during my assessment. These issues were preventing me from losing weight, impacting my focus, and draining my energy. Within the first seven weeks of working with Linda, I lost over 20 pounds (30 pounds over four months) an act that felt impossible for several years before meeting Linda. She reset my entire body, and now it is more responsive to exercise and to absorb nutrients.
Linda will push you, you will need discipline, and in the end, you will be pleased with the results. Trust the process!”
“Working with Linda has been an absolute joy. In addition to being an incredibly positive person and a pleasure to work with, she has a rare combination of science-based knowledge and an intuitive understanding of people and their physical needs and issues. Since I started working with her, my digestive health has improved immensely, and I no longer have the frequent stomachaches and bloating that I used to think were just part of life. Linda’s approach is also super realistic and easy to incorporate into my lifestyle: no calorie, point or macro counting, weighing foods, or other cumbersome steps. I was already in pretty good shape and not necessarily looking to lose weight, but since hiring Linda I have lost weight in a healthy, sustainable way, and also become more toned. I am a fairly serious runner and my athletic performance has also improved significantly. My energy levels are great, and I am recovering much more quickly than I used to. I’ve been so thrilled with results that I have already introduced Linda to a number of friends who have since become clients. She’s terrific and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“I came to Linda with all sorts of gastrointestinal ‘fun stuff’. I always had random stomach pains (IBS related), was the owner of an absurdly high cholesterol level, and would inexplicably get fatigued at random points during the day. I especially did not want to go on a statin, which my doctor said was essentially a foregone conclusion. Additionally, as a competitive athlete, I had hit a wall in my training and was wondering if a better diet could help me improve as opposed to just trying to literally run my way past everything.
Enter Linda. She listened carefully to my issues and was able to put her finger on some things I hadn't even considered. We put together an aggressive plan which she warned me would be tough, but effective. I consider myself to be on the mentally tougher side of the scale, but I can honestly say that I'm not sure I would've made it without her steady hand guiding me through the process and encouraging me to remember why I started when it would've been so much easier to quit. In the weeks since, the effects of Linda's plan and all the hard work has been steadily paying off. I'm now setting PRs on almost every derivative of mileage I run. I've lost weight and am more lean. My cholesterol dropped so significantly that my doctor demanded a detailed explanation from me (bye, statins!). Best of all, and somewhat unsurprisingly, I feel better. No more afternoon fatigue or weird, unexplainable stomach pains. I've learned so much and definitely do not look at food the same way anymore. And I could not have accomplished any of this without Linda.
Put short, Linda is a magician. She knows her craft well and has a strong understanding of the physical and mental challenges her clients face. She will demand a lot from you, but will deliver much more in return. She genuinely cares about her clients and will do everything she can to help you succeed. Thank you, Linda!”
“When I first started working with Linda I had eczema, extreme anxiety, trouble managing stress, and quite a bit of extra abdominal fat. I was eating plenty of healthy foods and exercising frequently lifting weights and doing HIIT workouts. Linda was able to help me figure out and address underlying conditions, then put together a nutrition and lifestyle plan that actually had me working out less and eating more often. By working with Linda I’ve lost the fat, have no skin issues, manage my stress and actually live a much happier life. It’s so remarkable how the food I put in my body affects my physical and mental health. I’m excited to work with her in the future.”
"A few years ago, I became a mom and watched my body change A LOT. On top of that, I learned that you get way less sleep as a mom. As a result, I hated how I physically felt. I was always tired (was it the babies who never slept?), I didn't fit into any of my clothes (should I throw them all out and buy new ones?) and overall I felt puffy and bloated constantly. On top of being a fitness professional, I knew I wasn't overeating, so I did not know what more I could do. I just resigned myself to the fact that this is what happens to women's bodies when they have babies. Eventually I couldn't take it anymore. No matter how much I slept or how well I ate, I was always tired and puffy. This couldn't be the rest of my life. My best friend referred me to Linda. At first I was nervous to work with a nutritionist as I previously had disordered eating and I didn't want someone to force me into a certain "diet". But that is NOT how Linda operates. Linda is the most supportive, sweetest coach of all time, and she wants her clients to EAT. After working with her, that tired, bloated, puffy, slightly depressed version of myself was gone. Linda listened to every issue of mine, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant and came up with a plan tailored especially for me. She completely changed my thinking about "healthy" eating and taught me how food could make me feel wonderful! (Don't kid yourself though, the first part of her plans are hard and she does not negotiate haha! But don't worry, you'll eat plenty of food.) I promise you that you will feel like a new person after working with her. My goal was simply to kick the feeling of always being tired, but there were many bonus side effects to working with Linda- my skin cleared up, I lost more than 20 pounds, and I am armed with a ton of knowledge to reset my mood when I'm feeling off or tired or cranky. Every day I look at my rested face in the mirror and cannot believe what Linda has helped me achieve. Work with her!"
“I have always struggled with weight. No matter what I tried, low calorie diets, weight watchers, Dukan diet, excessive exercise, nothing would keep the weight off for significant periods of time. I reached out to Linda because I was tired of struggling and wanted to know why I couldn't lose or keep weight off, why I was fatigued, had brain fog and felt bloated most of the time.
Linda spent time learning about my history back to my childhood and assessed that my digestion, gall bladder and liver were not, and had not been functioning properly for probably decades. She prescribed supplements and a new eating regimen that helped heal my digestive system and gall bladder and got my metabolism working again. I have lost 30 pounds and have never felt better! I feel energized, no brain fog and can look at myself without being frustrated or disgusted.
What impressed me most about Linda is her knowledge of food and its effects on our bodies. She helped open my eyes to the fact that most of the food out there is unhealthy and detrimental to our bodies and minds functioning optimally.
But what helped most throughout my journey is Linda's endless devotion, care and positivity. She was always there to cheer me on if I was feeling down or having a tough time. I am so thankful to her for helping my body function again as it should and for giving me the knowledge and drive to keep this up for the rest of my life.”
“Linda has really put me back on track to better health! Her guidance and knowledge has helped me understand how food choices can impact my energy and health issues. It’s always been a struggle to lose weight and to keep my digestive issues (GERD) under control, now after 3 months I’m seeing real improvement. My joints no longer ache from inflammation, my cravings for sugars and carbs have greatly diminished, weight has fallen off of me and I feel full. The other day I went to the bathroom and I didn’t even need to unzip my pants to take it off! I even had the energy level to go running - I am 74 years old! I had my annual checkup with bloodwork after all these changes and the results were excellent! Lipids reduced, glucose in control and the doctor was very pleased. She is so accessible and gives great advice on food choices and recipe suggestions for making food more appetizing. She really has a great passion for helping others and her energy is so delightful.”
“No words can truly express my gratitude for Linda. She taught me how to eat and that food is my medicine. After years of having stomach issues and going to different doctors and being prescribed different medication, I was desperate for help. Linda coached me through healing myself and taking ownership of that. She checked in with me every single day for months. Her advice on what to eat, when to eat and how to eat made huge changes in my life. I was able to sleep better through the night. I had better clarity and focus through the day. I was happier and not as anxious. And in the end, I even lost weight.”
“Linda has the uncanny ability to blow my mind with knowledge while making it seem like I’m just chatting it up with a best friend. When I speak with Linda, it feels like I am talking with a soul that was created specifically to give me the right answers...even if I’m not asking the right questions! Aside from being one of the most emotionally intelligent people I’ve ever met, Linda has a wealth of knowledge that she breaks down and delivers in simple strategies that are easy to understand and easy to integrate into daily life. The result? More passion, health, vitality, motivation and new sense of excitement for life! Warning: after speaking with Linda Lin, you may have the sudden urge to be more positive about life, smile at random people, encourage others with optimism, eat foods that nourish and energize your body, tell your friends to step their game up, etc…, etc. Every time I finish a conversation with Linda, I immediately think ‘Damn. I gotta get some more of that!’”
“For most of my life, I didn't think about what I ate. Until my body and mind made it very clear that must change. And I only understood the message my body and mind were trying to get across because of a conversation I had with Linda. I knew Linda a while before we talked about what I ate. She was an unbeatable source of energy and optimism, a client and a friend. Even before we really knew each other, she would come to see my band play and supported another friend of ours at his show. Because that's Linda: She shows up, she cares. One day last fall, Linda and I decided to meet to talk about nutrition. By then I'd been having near-daily panic attacks for a few months. I was exhausted. I didn't know what to do about it, other than to talk with my therapist and hope things took a turn for the better. And I didn't expect that this was a conversation that would offer much help, but Linda made such quick connections between the mood she saw on my face, the stories I told her about how I was feeling and the way I was treating (and not treating) my body. I left our meeting more alert about the connections between what you eat, how you live and how you feel between nutrients, the body and the mind. Not long after, Linda gave me a detailed set of recommendations guiding me through what I should start, stop and continue eating to undo some of the symptoms we uncovered together. It was daunting, but I needed to work to turn things around. And each step of the way, Linda was there. Helping me translate nutrition recommendations into regular grocery lists. Writing out meal plans. Asking me how I was doing. Because that's Linda. She shows up, she cares. It's been a few months since our first meeting. And my adherence to her recommendations hasn't been perfect. I've gone too heavy on spinach and eggs and not heavy enough on things I've had a harder time finding. But I've been consistently getting better—in my awareness about nutrition, and in the way I feel physically and mentally. And it doesn't hurt that I've lost 13 pounds in the process.”
When I met Linda, I was insecure about my weight, struggling my time of the month, generally unhappy and was debating seeing a doctor to get on antidepressants. Linda’s positivity, knowledge and trust that my gut could be the solve was the encouragement I needed to get healthy! Linda completely changed my perspective on food and structured the program in a way that has allowed me to sustain it after. I’ve lost 30 lbs, have had the best periods of my life and overall feel better physically and mentally. I’m thankful for Linda guiding me, pushing me, and being a friend through the journey.
“I have been working with Linda for several months to address my recent diagnosis with hypothyroidism. Linda’s approach to nutrition has not only been healing and empowering, but it has led me to understand and listen to my body more attentively. Her approach to nutrition as a philosophy and lifestyle has completely altered my relationship with food. I find myself eating my colorful foods, having less stomach aches, and being more appreciative of my body and its natural reactions and functions. I have definitely lost count the number of times that I have referenced something that Linda taught me whenever talking with friends/family about different nutritional deficiencies and sensitivities. Linda has been beyond attentive, caring, and approachable - I know that she will continue to heal and change countless lives to come. Highly recommend working with this great lady!!”
“When I met Linda I had been trying to conceive for over a year. I had a healthy vegan diet, was in great shape, in my early 30’s with no underlying conditions or issues. I had seen a few specialists but decided I wanted to approach this in the most natural way possible. Linda set clear expectations with me - she could not promise me that I would get pregnant but could help me put my body in the best condition possible to conceive. Along with nutrition and lifestyle advice, Linda helped me understand and embrace my monthly cycle to boost my mood and productivity, every woman needs this information! Within 2-3 months of following her advice, I became pregnant! I don’t know what it was that specifically did it for me but during this process my energy level and libido went up as well and I even had clearer skin. My husband and I continue to follow the advice she’s given us and we are looking forward to having our second baby. She is such a sweetheart and genuinely cares for your well being - you want this woman on your side!”
“Working with Linda was fantastic. The woman promises you’ll feel better, learn to eat differently and smarter and up your hotness; what’s not to love. She’s smart, knowledgeable and there for her clients. She doesn’t send you a plan and leave you hanging, she’s right there with you; explaining the changes you may experience and cheering you on. I would recommend her to anyone looking to up their health and wellness. Working with Linda I learned it’s not just reaching out when you need help but being proactive to prevent future health issues.
“Linda is such a great teacher and was able to explain to me how our bodies react to different foods in a way I’ve never understood before. I’ve been dealing with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart problems, low energy levels, all types of skin and nail conditions, bad memory and focus and am overweight. She was patient and did a great job helping someone like me deal with what feels like an overwhelming amount of issues. She told me it was going to be tough at first but that it’ll get easier and easier for me and she was right. She was motivation, motivation, motivation and I needed it. I was losing weight rapidly and people commented on how I looked 10 years younger. Seeing an improvement in my nail fungus was something I never expected but slowly and surely it happened. Some things improved right away and some things took a little more time but she had a realistic plan and a way to keep me going. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did.”
“Prior to working with Linda, my relationship with food was a manifestation of my relationship with self: it lacked trust, compassion and love. As a teenager I struggled with disordered eating which is synonymous with extreme weight fluctuations. While I healed from my diagnosed disorder (bulimia); my disordered behavior morphed into more subtle, easier to hide actions: exercise bulimia, sneaking food and skipping meals.
I sometimes think that my avoidance of food led to me moving through life at a breakneck pace, always trying to find something to do, some project to complete or something to fix in myself or others because I never wanted to be still and face what I was doing. Stop and smell the roses was my anti-slogan; and my avoidant approach left me unhealthy and burnt out.
Linda’s approach to nutrition and eating changed all of that. I can sum it up with two overarching words: intention and knowledge. Food is a huge part of our daily lives. Linda focuses on the WHY behind what we eat and that knowledge creates lasting change. After a month of working with Linda, I was shocked at the improvement in my alertness and by how much weight I lost by simply eating the way she guided me to eat (seriously multiple people asked me what I was doing at the gym!).
Also, rather than treating a meal as an afterthought; instead, having to intentionally shop for food: thinking about where it came from or how it was raised–creates respect for food. I cannot understate how monumental the shift in my mindset around food is and the trickle down effect that has had leading me to improve other aspects of my life.
I am so appreciative of the time spent working with Linda because it has not only changed my approach to eating, but also my approach to life is more intentional, accepting and self-compassionate.”
“Before I began with Linda my diet was fast food, candy and ice cream almost every other day. I wanted so badly to stop my terrible eating habits but wasn't sure how to even begin. And even when I did try to attempt to change my diet I had terrible cravings that I thought just wouldn't quit. That all changed the day I began my nutritional plan with Linda. The beginning was super challenging, but Linda kept assuring me that with time it would become easier, and she wasn't lying.
Even from the beginning of the diet I could feel a difference in my mental and physical health. With Linda's positivity and support I was able to make those differences more permanent in my life. There were many times that I wanted to stop the diet, but Linda always found the words to keep me going strong. And thank goodness, the end results were unbelievable. My energy levels rose, my physical strength began to come back and soon my mental health was clear and filled with great vibes. Before I knew it, I was enjoying the foods that I was given and began to see the positives in my daily life.
Because of the positive changes brought on by Linda and her nutrition plan I began to meditate again and to go to the gym on a daily basis. The positive changes that had been brought on by Linda began to affect my day to day. Instead of craving junk food I was craving healthy choices, both food and physical. The plan we put into place changed my life in the most beneficial ways, and I wouldn't ever think of reverting back to old habits because the new ones Linda provided have taken their place. I am forever grateful for the dedication and love that Linda shared with me, as well as the positive life changes that still have a major effect on my life each and every day.”
Linda has helped me to restart a journey to better health this year. I am almost 64 years old and was diagnosed with diabetes, GERD, high cholesterol and fibromyalgia. I was on medications for all of these conditions. I have since been able to discontinue or reduce my medications after 20 weeks of working with Linda.
Linda did a thorough, timely assessment of my health. She was careful to cover all areas of my health and lifestyle. She developed a personalized plan for me and carefully guided me along the way. It was not easy at first, but it was much easier as time went on.
Linda taught me about eating whole foods and checking ingredients on labels. I have learned so much about how harmful the added sugar, oils, etc. can be for my health. I put this new knowledge to use every day when shopping and preparing meals. My husband has also benefitted from the new way of eating.
Linda is very positive and encouraging. She was very consistent about keeping in touch and responding to my texts as soon as possible. That is especially helpful considering I live on the east coast and there is a three hour time difference. I feel healthier than I ever have and feel confident about being able to maintain these changes. Thank you Linda!
