Whole New You by Chris has been a tremendously helpful program for both my husband and myself. After working with a Chris I’ve developed a new relationship with food. I feel more energized, sleep better, and have tamed my inner sugar dragon. The program has become a lifestyle that we both love living and eating.

Chris has helped me immensely in my recovery journey! Even with working a recovery program, I was sure I was destined to use willpower to fight my cravings forever. I was seeking substances to deal with my anxiety, depression, and insomnia and she addressed those issues so I don’t feel the need to escape myself anymore. She helped me discover the missing components and now my cravings for drinking and marijuana have vanished. No will power needed! I honestly didn’t know I could feel this good in sobriety. I am sleeping better than I ever have and my anxiety & depression have lifted. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and I cannot recommend Chris enough. She is empathetic, a great listener, and passionate about her work. If you are in early sobriety or struggling, do yourself a favor and reach out to Chris. It’s so worth it!

Chris is an inspiration. I hired her for a 30 day reset plus and it has truly changed my understanding of how to eat in a way to support my health and recovery. I have more energy than I’ve had in years! I now shop the perimeter of the supermarket and have found a joy in taking care of myself with food!

Lots of people THINK they know how to eat “healthy”. Or that they know what they should/shouldn’t be eating to lose weight or get leaner. I certainly thought I did....until I went through Chris’s WHOLE NEW YOU program! I learned SO much and my eczema went away (without those high concentration cortisone creams). I’m also leaner doing HALF the amount of exercise I used to do. Contrary to what most people think, I’m actually leaner (less body fat%) when I’m NOT spending hours of my day doing cardio for Triathlon. So I highly recommend her program to my patients and friends who want to feel and look better!

I am doing great. Thanks for checking in. My husband has been following the plan with me and has lost 15lbs! So while I am definitely feeling more energy, mental clarity and bright skin, the benefits of weight loss are rolling off on him! He needed to lose the weight and my commitment to “Whole New You” with your excellent guidance has definitely made it easier for him. Honestly, it has been easier than I expected to stay on track and keep the momentum going. We are keeping food simple but creative and it helps that my son has just gone along with what we eat as well. The whole family is definitely benefiting! I have also been able to get my workouts back on track so feeling balanced, healthy, strong and inspired which is exactly what I was hoping to achieve by joining your group. I will be on the call tonight as well!

Beth Jensen-Warner ★★★★★ 2 months ago
Fantastic! Chris led me through some dark times when I felt like my brain was just giving up. I tried the different supplements she suggested and my body seemed to recover where I was overcompensating for energy loss and lack of efficiency. … More I learned what times of the day I tend to be more productive and to pace myself where I had dips. I learned my habits and where I could improve my overall health along the way.

I was well informed about amino acids and vitamin protocols. I learned a lot about what levels to dose the amino acids that worked for me. Chris was very good with follow up and a joy to work with.

Chris is fantastic! I first heard about Chris about 3 or 4 years ago and am so glad to have found her and Nutrition for Recovery. I have learned so much about myself and how I can be a better me with the use of Amino Acids through her Amino … More Acid course. Her daily Facebook posts have some fantastic information, and some fun healthy challenges! I'm waiting to take her Eat Real Food course when my lifestyle is better set to focus even more on my mental and physical health thru healthier eating. Which I'm hoping will be real soon!

Chris is fantastic! She’s one of the VERY few experts out there in amino acid therapy, which is the missing link for people needing to re-balance their brain chemistry to free themselves from addiction, compulsive eating, etc. If you’re … More on the fence about investing in her programs or coaching, just know that it’s beyond worth it and you should go for it!

I worked with Chris a while ago with great results. Getting nutrition in balance felt great and there was a lot that I was missing. The process was easy too. In addition the difference you feel is motivating.
