Your book is tremendously informative and your forums and teleconferences are VERY helpful and interactive; you always made sure all our questions were answered.  I completely felt you had our backs the entire time.

I walked away with a greater understanding of health and nutrition as a whole.  I’m eating better and WANT to eat better.  Your recipes are great; there is something for everyone.  I am so glad to have found a detox program where you do not starve yourself.  We were never hungry, yet immediately felt the results.

Thank you for putting together an amazing program.  I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good quality detox.  Nance by far is the best and most experienced.  We look forward to repeating the process! Warm wishes,
Lisa~ San Fransisco

I am forty one, fit, teacher, mother of two.  I love clothes and feeling my best but have always eaten more than i should.  I am discerning and i read all there is about the pursuit of health- nothing i have ever done has made me feel better than follow your cleansing plan.

The information you provided was so accessible for me.  I was able to adapt my thinking and change my habits.  I am thrilled.  I have recommended your program to everyone who has been telling me how great I look!
thanks so much

Last year I struggled with typical menopause symptoms and couldn’t lose the extra 15 pounds that had accumulated. That was the turning point for me to make a serious and more committed effort to clean up my diet and my lifestyle.

I have always admired Nancy because she “walks the talk” and shares her vast knowledge from years of research and experience.

I felt encouraged and not long after I was eating about 70% raw living foods, taking high quality supplements and rebounding regularly.

I noticed the weight came off rapidly and have since taken the next step and incorporated delicious smoothies and green juices into my diet.

Even the hot flashes have subsided with the help of natural herbal remedies. I embrace this holistic way of living and feel full of life and energy and I’m proud to say I’m 55 and loving it.

I’m so happy to be part of this here program because the support and confirmation that I’m on the right track is priceless. There’s always something new to learn and sharing is caring and that’s what it’s all about!

Thank you, Nancy, for walking me through the initial stages of my paradigm shift and gently guiding me on the road to health!

I am in the process of looking into a good lung cleanse to add to my detox program.

I have started using three oils on my skin in addition to the magnesium gel – I use grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, and my personal favorite for my body, avocado oil.  No more toxic lotions going on my freshly dry-brushed body!

I haven’t been rebounding lately due to the knee issue but will hopefully get clearance from the physical therapist to do this soon.  I really liked what it did for my sinuses!

Speaking of sinuses, I no longer have an infection!!!!!  I’ve known for a while that breads and dairy aggravated my sinuses so eating whole foods has been a total blessing just for my sinuses alone!!

I still have occasional cravings for something crunchy and bread-like so I opted to purchase organic brown rice wafers and I can use them with your guacamole recipe!

I am SO grateful for the electrolyte recipe you gave me and the suggestion of the coconut water.  My son will drink the coconut water but couldn’t handle the electrolyte mixture I made.  I’m going to keep experimenting with this mixture and add juiced fruits like apple, pear, lemon, even pineapple to hopefully make this mixture more appealing to my kids.

Nancy, I knew when I found you (or maybe you found me ) that this felt right to me.  I just had no idea how much this act of faith would change my journey.  This was also an act of faith on your part,  I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for gifting this class to me.  I joined your member site a few weeks ago and will continue to subscribe and soak in the wonderful information you have there.  I want to also participate with you as much as possible in your upcoming programs and plans.

I felt your sincerity and genuineness from the beginning and feel very grateful that our paths have crossed.  My heart for my children is what drove me to this part of my journey – wanting to live long enough to see them marry and have children or wherever their paths lead.  My heart for healthy living and feeling my best is what will sustain me on this journey.  I know God’s plan for me is wonderful and I’m so grateful He caused me to “bump into” you on the Internet.  I hope we can meet in person sometime this side of Heaven!

Much love,

At 52, I took early retirement and decided to get my life back. I started seeing Nancy in private consultation because I felt that I needed to start looking after myself. I wanted to learn more about healthy lifestyle habits. I liked Nancy’s approach because she deals with the person as a whole, accepts where we are and suggests a direction we could take to move forward towards our goals. She puts the ball in our court but is there to help along the way. Nancy provides workshops, suggested readings and teleclasses, electronic documents, her blog and weekly newsletters as support. She has a wealth of knowledge. I see Nancy as a coach and mentor and trust her recommendations implicitly.

Cleansing is an important component of Nancy’s program. Because I read the literature provided, I too began to see the benefits and wanted to embark upon this component of the program. However, I did find the first one difficult and somewhat rigid. I stuck to it and have completed many cleanses with Nancy’s help. It is almost second nature now and Nancy’s program has made it easier to follow.

When I started the program, I was close to a burn out, was overweight and out of shape. I had a cough which was stress related, had trouble sleeping as during my working years I had been sleep deprived, suffered from acid reflux and various digestive problems. As I aged, I suffered from various aches and pains especially in my joints. I developed what is called a “snapping hip”.

Since being on the program, I have lost 25 pounds and my snapping hip has disappeared. I still have a few aches and pains but use magnesium gel which helps to control them. My digestive problems and acid reflux have disappeared. I am following a raw and living food diet. I have found peace within myself and love my life. I also started getting a life: started photography, horticulture (I have a 7,000 square foot garden), I walk at least 5 times a week and do Pilates, ski…

Since starting the program and working with Nancy, my outlook on life has changed. I look after all aspects of my life and Nancy’s approach helps with this. I do not view Nancy’s program as an event or something to do. I view it as a lifestyle and am totally committed to living this way for the rest of my life. I have stabilized my weight, cholesterol level and blood pressure. My doctor was concerned at first because I was making such a drastic lifestyle change (no meats or cooked foods). However, after my last physical, we sat down to look at my test results for the past three years. He had to admit that whatever I was doing… I should continue as all my results had greatly ameliorated.

I would like to share other examples of personal successes:

• Having my family tell me that they are planning a complete raw and living food meal for my upcoming 59th birthday.
• Having my friends and family ask about the program, about what I am doing and why and comment on the positive changes they see in me.
• Going on a shopping spree and buying size 2 and 4 instead of size 10.
• Not having to make a resolution about losing weight on New Year’s Day.

Throughout the program, Nancy encouraged me to take small steps and to proceed at my own pace. She acted as a coach and mentor and was there along the way to guide me. I still need encouragement so I love reading her newsletters and blog, participating in teleclasses and various courses.

Have the programs had a lasting effect on you?
Following Nancy’s programs has had a lasting effect on me personally and on my lifestyle and life decisions. I am a better person and feel like the “ever ready bunny”. My family was a bit skeptical at first, but now, when they see the results, they applaud my efforts and encourage me to continue. At 59, I have never looked as good nor felt better.

That is how it all began for me years ago, just one change at a time. I was in my early 40′s then and thought that I was leading a so called “healthy lifestyle”, but things were starting to change.

I was starting to feel more fatigued, my doctor had diagnosed me with osteoarthritis in my knees for which I was taking Tylenol (because I didn’t want to take the prescription drugs that the doctor recommended) and had great difficulty sleeping because of the pain.

As well, I just physically didn’t feel good about myself even though I am an aerobics instructor and was instructing about 9 classes per week.

It was then that I decided to try my first cleanse, needless to say I lasted one day. All the while I was still attending Nancy’s workshops and hungry (no pun intended) for more and more information. Then came the spring and another cleanse, so I gave it another try. This time I was able to stay on the cleanse for 5 days and had great success. I honestly thought that I would be tired, running to the bathroom every 5 minutes but the opposite was true. Okay I had a bit of a headache and the third day I felt a little nausea but after that my mind was so clear, I had energy and the bonus was that I lost 7 pounds.

I wanted to continue feeling this way and started to change my eating habits as a result by the summer of that year I had lost 30 pounds without even trying. I am off all medication for my knees and sleep like a baby, I can lift heavier weights and instruct more aerobics classes with energy to spare.

Nancy’s programs, her dedication and passion to share what healthy living can do for you, her kind, gentle and reassuring way is what guided me on my journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Nancy has made such an impact on my life that with her encouragement, support and mentorship I have enrolled in school to become a nutritionist. Thank you Nancy for helping and guiding me with my lifestyle change, I have never felt better. I only hope that I can touch as many lives as you have.”

A woman I knew told me she had never felt better after being on Nancy’s program and by her eliminating certain foods from her diet and replacing them with high energy foods she had energy she hadn’t felt in years.  Shortly after hearing this, I knew this was how I wanted to feel, so, I made an appointment with Nancy and since then, the program she put me on has truly changed my life for the better.

Within the last 3 1/2 months, I have successfully given up coffee, chocolate (and I was a chocoholic), desserts, dairy products and red meat which I have

substituted with a majority of organically grown and a variety of different vegetables, sprouts, herbs, seeds, fruits, fish, etc… Along with doing a few cleanses for different organs which have only given me more vitality.   As far as my chocolate craving goes, the odd time if I feel like having anything sweet which is not too often, I’ll have 87% cocoa which is good for my heart.  If by chance, I break down the odd time because I’m not claiming to be perfect, I forgive myself and the next day I’m back on track again.

The good news is, I have dropped 3 dress sizes which I wasn’t expecting, I have 80% more energy and I feel great!   My hat is off to you Nancy.  Thanks for helping me and others.

Wishing you great health and happiness.

I now weigh less than I did in high school. I am still learning and changing, and what an exciting process it is!”
When I first met Nancy a year and a half ago, my entire body (physical, mental, emotional) was a complete disaster. I was quite overweight, well over 200 pounds, my self-esteem was low, and I was an emotional mess. There was no light at the end of the tunnel; everything seemed so overwhelming.

17 months after:

Whenever I tried to work on my weight issue, something always got in the way, so nothing ever got done, and I was miserable about it. A while ago, Nancy gave me a copy of her 7-Day Sugar-Free Program, which I read but, to be honest, it seemed too much for me to do all at once.

After speaking with Nancy, we started with baby steps, changing one thing at a time in a process that I felt I could handle.

Now, there was a small light at the end of the tunnel. I began to feel better in all aspects of my life, and for the first time in a long while, things seemed obtainable! Food became less of an issue for me, and I liked feeling freer – no longer a slave to toxic food.

I hardly ever crave them anymore, and my tastes have changed. Nancy introduced me to juicing, which I now do mostly on a daily basis. The other day, I actually ate a salad for breakfast with my sprouts on it – truly amazing for me. I now see people who haven’t seen me in a while and they don’t recognize me. They are completely shocked at the ‘new me.’ I have lost 64 pounds in 17 months thanks to Nancy’s invaluable knowledge and patience.

Nancy works with you, where you are at in life and with your emotional capabilities; otherwise it would not have worked for me. I have struggled with my weight issue for over 20 years, but I now weigh less than I did in high school. I am still learning and changing, and what an exciting process it is! I am extremely grateful for your programs and so much more.”

I know I will continue that step-by-step climb to a healthier life because of things I have learned in your program. Some of the precepts I build that statement on are the great supplemental materials that I know I will refer to often, the  first week preparing for success – evaluating the cupboards and planning my goals, and the last week interview on organizing.

Isn’t it interesting and revealing how one area of life – nutrition – affects all of our life, and conversely how each supposedly “outside” or unrelated area of our life affects our nutritional health.

You’ve certainly given me plenty of information to apply, encouragement to sustain the marathon, and links and contacts of many remarkable speakers and
teachers.

Thank you for all you personally put into the class, and especially for your attempt to reach all your students personally, answering questions and
advising each individual concern.

Perhaps that is why your program sticking to the natural basics works so well. It’s been a pleasure.

I was often feeling down about myself not knowing what I should eat next. One day I told myself enough is enough, I have to do something to change this. I started visiting Nancy’s blog and health program, taking as many notes as I could and putting all that information to good use.

It has litterly changed my life. The weight that I have lost is incredible and the energy that I feel throughout the day while doing my job (as a letter carrier) is beyond anything that I have ever experienced. Im so thankful to Nancy for getting me started on this program. If there was any advice that I could give to anyone viewing this right now it is to simply try Nancy’s program. Open up your mind to whole foods.
