Testimonials

: "People come into your life for a reason, season or lifetime.....we have all heard that one, right? I am hoping that Wendy will stay in mine for a lifetime, but the reason was to help me find a way to take my health to another level and enjoy myself doing it !!! Wendy helped connect the dots for me understanding why I was struggling with maintaining my blood sugar control, which effects so much of our health. I met her at a health club and knew after a few minutes of talking with her that she had the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to make a real difference for me. Helping me find healthy foods that I would enjoy making, shopping for and eating that would complement my workout program to reduce my dependence on drugs to control my sugar levels. The results have been dramatic, and my doctor is on board with the new program, and working with me to move me away from the medication approach. She is a total delight to work with and helps bring accountability to your life, in areas where we all need to make priorities. I also feel as though I have gained a new friend. I would give Wendy the highest recommendation I could give to anyone to help you acheive your goals and take your physical and mental health to a new level. I am excited about 2010, and continuing to work with her."

First, I must share how much I have learned since having my first consult with you in August - I had been stuck at a plateau on my weight loss, and was looking for help in the nutrition area. The information that you shared about eating whole foods, the shopping experience learning how to read labels and pick out ripe fruits and vegetables has been fantastic and life changing. For the first time in 6 months, I was able to get past my plateau and lost another 20 pounds for a total of 70 pounds. At first I was resistent to all the cooking, as I had never really done much cooking beyond boiling pasta and adding sauce from a jar, but the recipes were simple, and actually started to enjoy the cooking process.

Then, I went on the food cleanse after coming back from a vacation in Hawaii, and glad that I tried this. I had a little low energy if I worked out the first few days. But I was not hungry at all following the plan, and enjoyed the chicken soup - tasty! I lost 7 pounds in 10 days, and only gained 2 back after stopping the cleanse. I would highly recommend anyone that wants to get a fresh start with eating healthy, or feel like they are cleansing out their systems to try this. I will be signing up again for the cleanse in the beginning of the year.

Wendy was always quick to provide feedback and shared so much valuable information that I really feel like I have turned a corner on my nutrition! She not only helped with nutrition, but provided a well rounded lifestyle consultation with exercise and relaxation ideas too.

thanks so much for all the support, and patience to teach me!

"Yum and results. How often do you see those words in the same sentence? But that's exactly what I got when I hired Wendy to guide me in eating healthier while simultaneously losing weight. Full fat yogurt...who knew? I am never on a diet but I now know how to successfully navigate Whole Foods, PCC and other stores...to get great tasting, satisfying foods that help me with my nutritional and weight goals. Real Men eat well...and Wendy will help you be such a man (or woman)."

"Wendy is simply amazing. I had always thought that if you wanted to eat healthy, it was going to be all about using my willpower to get my taste buds used to stuff that just plain sucks. What freedom! Who would have thought you can love your food AND have it work for your body and not against you. Thanks Wendy for showing me how to do that!"

Brian Walker, Extreme Meetings

"Wendy is an expert in nutrition, food preparation, cooking, and fitness. She has a very positive and engaging personality. I was very comfortable openly discussing my eating habits and fitness routine with Wendy. She is an excellent listener and completely non-judgemental.
When I first met with Wendy, I was 20 pounds heavier than normal, I lacked energy, and for the first time in my life I had increased levels of cholesteral.
Wendy taught me that I can make slight modifications to my diet and, without starving myself, eat normal natural foods that I really enjoy.
Within 4 months of starting to work with Wendy I lost 25 pounds. I had regained all the energy I had lost and have never felt better. I am 48 years old, 30 pounds lighter, and below my high school football weight.
Wendy also very much practices what teaches and leads by example.
Of course one of the keys to my success is that I actually did what Wendy told me to do.
Wendy is awesome."

Grey Lundberg, Grey Lundburg Inc, Master Builder

"I have never meet anyone like Wendy, her hunger to help those in her field and those who need to get healthy.Weather the professional athlete or someone wanting to lose a few pounds Wendy has done it all. From teaching "how" and "what" to shop for foods that benefit the body and overall wellness.

I have to say as a man of 53 years old that just won a gold medal at the World Grappling Games in Long Beach Calif, I had never thought I would compete again.. I won first in my age group (over 40) and weight class 200-210 lbs. I could have never done it without Wendy's expertise..My diet had to be "right on"..I'm looking forward to more gold medals!!

Thanks a million Wendy!!

Wendy helped me turn around my health and that included the entire way I thought about eating. The idea of eating foods as they are meant to be without processing them seemed impossible to me as a busy working mother. Wendy’s advice was practical and tailored to my needs. She listens well. Many of my ideas about losing weight were revamped. I lost ten pounds without trying while eating good fats, wholesome meats and other proteins, and an amazing array of vegetables and different ways to prepare them.Goodbye dieting and depravation. I truly feel better and I am enjoying everything I eat. The best was Wendy sat down with my family and got us on the same page. It’s about education. I am really grateful.

"Wendy is fabulous!! Healthy and yummy recipes. She is very knowledgeable and has innovative ideas on helping people meet their weight loss goals."

Rhianna Ryer, Trainer

I have been telling people.. “I thought I was eating so healthy and doing everything right, but I’ve already learned so much!” I’ve been explaining to people that I’m so excited that I never have to diet again! I have found the real secret and that’s eating “real” food. I can also show that I’m not doing anything harmful to my body, I’m doing this the safest and best way possible! Also, people are surprised about the home visits, grocery shopping and cooking lessons you offer.

~Brianne

Wendy, I've lost probably 8 pounds now!!!! When people ask me how I did it, I launch into a big speech starting with "I have this friend named Wendy Schnitzer who has this incredibly compassionate approach to helping people find out what works for them." There is no way I can thank you enough. You're going to be very successful. The reason I know this is what you did worked for me. Moreover, it's still working. I'm just at the beginning. So I understand that your approach is about being patient with working through what works.

~Ronna

Hey Wendy,

I just wanted to say thanks again for the cooking lesson Monday. What we made has worked out great for me this week and everything was so easy to do, I think I am going to try doing this on a regular basis. Also, I got some coconut water, which after looking it up, seems like pretty awesome stuff. I'm surprised more people aren't familiar with it.
~Nikki

Foods been great! Loved our shopping trip it has made me feel much more confident !

~Mitzi

Hi Wendy
Thank you so much for yesterday's shopping trip to Whole Foods.I learnt so much.You were very informative and explained everything so well that next time when I go on my own, I'll be able to make informed choices.

Mini

While attending a birthday happy hour last Saturday, I was told how good I looked and how much weight I've lost. As we know, it isn't just dieting, but your suggestions on taking Yoga/Pillates, how and when I eat, uiet/spiritual time, etc. have all helped!

David

Now for the best part: My first opportunity to cook was yesterday afternoon. The meatloaf was enjoyable to put together, cooked up just fine, and was tasty enough that I just finished having it for breakfast! In other words: WOW! That is definitely NOT my mother's meatloaf. This one is moist, colorful, with a mild sweet flavor provided by the peppers.
With food like this prepared in the frig I can see where I will definitely enjoy a variety of breakfasts unimagined before.

Thank you so much for the shopping trip. I learned much!

Starlet

Wendy, thank you again for meeting with me. My eyes have been opened and we have already implemented a number of your suggestions. We are already off to a great start. I appreciate your quick lunch and dinner ideas.

I look forward to sharing our success with you as the weeks fly by. Have a wonderful week.

Karen

Hi Wendy,

Thanks so much! I really enjoyed your talk today. You've inspired me to take a 2nd look at the foods we're eating. I felt we ate healthy, but I'm going to make some changes. Especially with the soy in my foods and with the foods I'm eating while training for the 1/2 marathon. Thanks again!

Malia

Thanks for all the tips. You sure have great energy! We will try to sort through all the info. The recipes have all been great! We have tried 4 so far and the variety is refreshing

Michael

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for shopping with me! It was great to learn as well as go down isles I've never been down before! Thanks for the recipes! I had the tortilla soup last night and brought some for lunch this morning! I can't wait to try out all of my new foods!

Thank again!!!

- Dave

Everything is going great. I absolutely love the new food I’m eating and I’m telling everyone!

Thanks again for everything; I know this is going to change my life and hopefully others will catch on too! I think it’s so easy because I believe what I’m doing!

Brianne

I wanted to share some information with all of you.Yesterday I had a consult with Wendy Schnitzer. It was amazing! All this time I was under the impression that I was eating healthy. But,she opened my eyes to a whole lot of things.Showed me how to actually read the labels with awareness. And the best thing was the customized plan for me.I would recommend her to anyone who is looking forward to making healthy changes in their lives.
Thanks Wendy!
Mini

That shopping trip was lots of fun.....productive and I can't wait to try those recipes.

Glenn

Shopping was great! Whole foods is a little pricey ($377 bill today- ouch!) but worth it. Can't wait to try all the new food... my garbage is full with the old stuff. Feel bad throwing away good food in this economy but I don't think anyone wants a half bottle of BBQ sauce and ketchup.

Thanks again for all your great information. My bread is on the counter as we speak- just waiting to become bread crumbs!

Heidi

Thank you for all your time tonight. I was very impressed with all you shared, and your passion for your "work". Looking forward to the future putting what I can learn from you to work in my life. You connected some very important dots for my in our time together this evening...

Glenn

Hi Wendy,

I’m still staying off the simple sugars and any others that I can avoid. The neat thing now is there is no desire for the sweets anymore. Have lost between 7 and 8 lbs just from cutting out the sugars and watching the trans-fats. The green drink is ok, but getting used to it and the cashew butter is good – taste good on celery or by itself. Haven’t cut out all the coffee, but have cut way back – that’s a start right?

Thank you for everything,

Mark

Thanks for your time today. I (we) really enjoyed it. I went to the store today just to look at labels and was amazed at how many items have high fructose sugar. I would have never guessed...or really discovered that I was looking in the wrong place. Just knowing that will really help steer me toward the better things.

Thanks.

Kerrie

It was very nice meeting you too. I feel like I learned so much throughout our consultation and I am eager to revamp my eating habits and outlook on nutrition. This morning I ate whole milk yogurt with a drizzle of Agave and a sprinkle of Ezekiel granola. I also ate at a table, and drank water before and after. I don't have the urge to eat more, I feel very satisfied! I found that my gym offers pilates every morning for an hour, and I intend to attend at least once a week. I will continue to follow the rules and guidelines you have made for me, and I am feeling good about this change. Thank you so much!

Tina

I so enjoyed shopping –I love the way my refrigerator looks –including the freezer!!

Thank for your support, Wendy—it make this journey much more productive and fun!
