Digestive Health
"After years of suffering with the misery of acid reflux and indigestion and seeing numerous physicians, chiropractors, and specialists, I was referred to Carmina. She had me do a food plan and after analysis of my diet suggested removal of some foods and adding of others. She also added some specific supplements. After a few weeks I noticed a difference and how have it under control. She really cares about her patients and tries to get to the root of the problem."

"Carmina has helped me in so many ways. I’ve had digestive problems for many years. She has helped me discover the root causes…and has helped my cholesterol and arthritis pain. She is caring as well as a knowledgeable professional that I trust implicitly."

"After four years of discomfort, irritation, and pure pain, I contacted Carmina McGee to save me from this ongoing cycle. I wish I had contacted her early because the 2 doctors, chemist, and gene specialist had only prescribed pills to relieve me of symptoms.
From our first visit Carmina struck me as educated, knowledgeable, confident in herself and confident that she could help me get past this hurdle. She was so easy to talk to and to listen to, not to mention the endless questions I had for her in which she answered in great detail. Over the course of 7 months I had relief of my of my symptoms and reintroduced foods that had been absent from my kitchen. I would just like to add to the end I can't thank Carmina enough for her hard work and dedication."

Neurotransmitter Regulation
"I came to see Carmina because I was quite panicked by what I had learned from my neurologist about all my nutritional deficiencies. There were eight areas and one was pre-diabetic/insulin resistant. My body was not metabolizing sugar or carbohydrates well. First, Carmina calmed me down by saying, “We can fix all of this.” Wow, what an optimist. But her confidence really helped my stress level, which was another area she worked on with some neurotransmitter testing and supplements. In 6 months, my blood tests confirmed that all eight of my deficiencies were now in balance! What a relief. Frankly, I thought I was a fairly healthy eater. I just wasn’t putting the right food groups together at the right times. Between “learning” how to eat and taking the recommended supplements I am a new woman!"

Overall wellness & vitality
"I was feeling physically and emotionally run down and Carmina helped on both of those fronts. Although I came to her fairly knowledgeable about food, nutrition, diet, etc., there was so much I didn’t know about my own personal physical/nutritional needs and what my current state of health was. Her gentle coaching and thorough investigation of what exactly was going on with my emotional and physical states has made a huge difference in my wellbeing. I have received wonderful information that has allowed me to make intelligent choices about eating and caring for both my family and myself. She looked at the whole me and helped me see that the most lasting change is gradual and thoughtful. "

"Health has been one of the top priorities and interests of my life. I am 61 years old now, and with Carmina’s help, probably in the most complete state of health I’ve ever been in my entire life.Though generally healthy most of my life, I have had several on-going, forever-nagging issues: persistent recurring red rashy areas on my neck and face, headaches, and irritability. I have tried probably every possible traditional and non-traditional method I could find to solve these problems. No one, before Carmina, took the time and patience, and had the extensive whole-being knowledge and approach that she does, to help me solve them.
Her approach is comprehensive, and she listens, really LISTENS. Those factors coupled with her vast knowledge, experience, and intuition, have resulted in more than the disappearance of my red rashes, headaches, and irritability. My whole being feels balanced and grounded in a new way. I am radiant.The other part of Carmina’s approach that I totally love and respect is her focus on helping me help myself. Her goal is to empower her clients with the knowledge of how to maintain on their own, the health they have discovered. She is a true healer in my book."

Hormone Balance & Natural Weight Normalization
"I have been fighting my weight all my life and did have success until I went through menopause and had to start taking some different medications. I tried everything the last 3 years to lose weight. I tried counting calories, weighing food, going to the gym 7 times a week, nothing worked. I tried Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem and Eating Right home delivery, nothing worked and I was very disciplined. At last resort because I was so obsessed with food (calories & weight,weighing myself everyday) and I mean “OBSESSED”! I couldn’t put anything in my mouth without knowing the calories and weight of it. I thought about food and weight all day long.
I was miserable and my Husband called you.From the first consultation I knew you were different than any diet I had tried. You discovered I was gluten intolerant, gave me the right vitamins, switched me to whole foods and took away my scales! Also, no more counting calories and weighing food (whew! glad that is over with). You had my hormone levels and blood tests to go by and ordered more tests. I was able to change some things and quit certain medications and FINALLY I am losing weight!! I have not been this excited in a long time and the neat thing is I just eat what you told me, no hassles and I’m losing. I also feel better emotionally, not having an obsession to contend with, thank you for helping me through that. I feel more rested, more energy, less anxiety and sadness."

Natural Weight Normalization
"I learned about Carmina McGee when I ran into one of her clients who is diabetic. He had lost over 40 pounds and looked terrific. I asked how he did it and he said he was going to Carmina McGee. I knew then that I wanted to be her client.
I have been overweight half of my life and with diabetes running strongly in my family and knew I wanted to lose weight. No matter how hard I tried or what diet I pursued, it did not happen for me…and believe me I tried them all! I have never slept well and I usually work up two or three times a night. I had low energy and low-grade depression. After a few sessions with Carmina, my lack of sleep and low energy were addressed with through nutrition and “tailor made” supplementation. I started to sleep through the night, my energy went up and I felt a sense of peace and yes I am losing weight! But more important, I feel healthy and I am so glad I took this journey. "
