Testimonials

Sahar Berjis has been my nutritionist for over a year now. Any questions , or something I didn’t understand. Ms. Berjis always took the time to answer and explain. She has kept me on track for health and nutrition, after my surgery. Through her I have learned to eat more healthy foods that are good for me. Even though I had weight loss surgery , I couldn’t have done it without her and her advice. She is a wonderful nutritionist.

I highly recommend Sahar. After being hospitalized with Diverticulitis and struggling with my digestive system and nutritional needs, I was referred to Sahar by my primary, and most trusted physician. Sahar’s advice changed my life within a week! She made it very easy and clear on what foods I needed to reintroduce, week by week, in order to get control over my entire digestive system. Now I have confidence in what I should, and need to eat, and the information to make adjustments according to what my body is needs.

I had advanced erosive rheumatoid arthritis. I was taking prednisone. An upper GI showed inflammation, gastritis, and leaky gut. My CRP was an 11 and my Sed rate was 34. I went off all sugar, processed foods, caffeine, dairy and gluten. One year later my CRP is 1.8 and my Sed rate is 4. I am taking no medications and my arthritis doctor said my joints are the best she has ever seen them. A healthy diet has made a tremendous difference in my health. It was the only thing that helped me. Medications made me worse, a healthy diet has put me on the right track to recover my health.

Sahar Berjis has been a great help in assisting me manage my symptoms while I was fighting a severe and stubborn intestinal disease. She is very knowledgeable. She has been accessible and very supportive when I was most in need. Throughout my illness her suggestions really made a major difference in my well being. I am so pleased my doctor recommended her to me.

Before prescribing any supplements, she ordered an invasive stool test to figure out which bacterias attacked my colon. Then put me on supplements based on my lab results and what my body needed the most. She also ordered an allergy test to help me avoid certain foods or preservatives that could trigger my symptoms. Every week I would get a thorough consultation from her that was educational and informative. It made me realize how much Sahar cared when she went out of her way to leave me supplements by her office door. She impressed me by her communication style and responsiveness every time I reached out to her! I'm so grateful to get to know such a competent health care professional whom her patients' health was always her number one priority.

I saw 2 nutritionists before finding Sahar. The advice I got was basically to keep cutting foods that caused me problems. I did that but didn't get any better. By the time I had my first appointment with Sahar I was eating 5 foods: boiled chicken, carrots, zucchini, spinach and kale. As a functional nutritionist, Sahar first focused on healing. She recommended supplements and teas that would help heal my gut. Without Sahar and her functional nutrition approach, I would still be eating nothing but my homemade boiled veggie and chicken soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She has helped me be able to live again and I am eternally grateful!
