Client Talk

What They Say

I love getting feedback—both complementary and constructive. As a certified Nutritional Wellness Consultant, I’m proud to have gained the trust of my valued clients. Read on to see what others have said about me.

I didn't meet my goal. I exceeded it!
I was hoping to lose 10-15 pounds, but I was not very successful on the ketogenic diet by myself, so I did a web search for a nutrition consultant. When I found Gray's website, Eat Well, Age Well Nutrition I became hopeful that I could also get help with menopause issues and a little brain fog. Gray devised a plan for me that was not only focused on nutrition, but also on stress relief. She helped me redefine balance between the food groups and guided me to a very educational food journaling program, where I learned to balance activity with a nutrient-dense, low carb diet. She set it up for me to lose 1 to 1-1/2 pounds a week, "slow and steady wins the race." Every time we spoke, she would follow up with sending me new recipes. She was practical, knowledgeable, supportive, personable, and very effective. I didn't end up losing my 10-15 lbs. I lost 27(!) and am holding steady just fine with the new habits I learned. Thank you, Gray!
