I had several goals for my work with Marina – to learn more about nutrition; to learn how to eat a balanced diet that suits my body type and health goals; and to be encouraged in the changes I’m making. Marina has the ability to share her knowledge in a very personable way. She’s a born encourager – which was very helpful to me! She was always well prepared and efficient which helps my busy schedule. In the first month I noticed my clothes fit differently – yes, I dropped a few pounds (and it was over the holidays) –but I’m leaner overall than I was. Apparently my body composition is changing as I eat a properly balanced diet. I also have basically no cravings for sugar and other carbs; have no more stress-related eating; and have more energy. If you’re ready to get healthier and want to shed old messages about food and nutrition, you’ll have fun as Marina guides you in developing good shopping habits, teaches you how to prepare and store food properly; understand what your body needs, and replace old bad habits with new, good ones! Call Marina today!

Recently, I did a cleansing program designed for me by Marina Sommers. Marina was very thorough with the pre-cleanse session before I started the program, and she was constantly supportive during the three day cleanse. It was one of the best things that I have done for myself. My body felt more alive and free of toxins after the three days. Basically, I drank juices and ate raw vegetables and fruit in soups and smoothies. The juices and meals were very tasty, and I continue to make the recipes for the soups and smoothies. Also, Marina added supplements to the diet. I will definitely do this cleanse again in the spring. Marina is an excellent food coach.

As a busy working mother and wife, my own nutritional needs are often left on the back burner. I was increasingly aware of feeling tired, lethargic and trying to resolve these issues by increasing my caffeine consumption! I realized I needed to regain control over my nutritional health. I contacted Marina Sommers of Nutritious You for guidance.
Our initial ‘Health Coaching’ session entailed a detailed health and nutritional history. We delved into my eating habits as a child as well as my eating habits as an adult. This session was enlightening for me, it was a journey of self-discovery; I knew I was on the right path.
Marina studied my responses and tailored a personalized 3 day cleanse for my particular situation – foods and supplements that will help combat my pesky kidney stones, increase my energy level and essentially reset my body to its natural rhythm. I was excited to get the process started.
I was given all the tools I needed. Marina provided the recipes, supplements, organic fruits and vegetables, spices, herbal teas and coconut water. She prepared me with menus, tips and tactics to be true to the process. It was now up to me to stick to the game plan. I was encouraged to call her for any questions or concerns.
On Day 1, I missed my morning ‘pot’ of coffee tremendously! However, I enjoyed my morning ‘smoothie’ and felt satisfied. I was true to the 3 Day Cleanse program. By the end of my personalized Cleanse, I felt ‘lighter’, had substantially more energy. In fact, I am training for a marathon and I ran my best time while on the Cleanse! A nice side bonus was I lost 6lbs during that 3 day period. Marina’s tailored nutritional cleanse ‘reset’ the foods I put into my body. It made me very aware of my past ‘fast food’, ‘chemical laden’ ‘eating on the go’ routine. One of the biggest benefits of the cleanse is that I no longer have my endless craving for caffeine. In fact, after a week without coffee, my body seems to be rejecting its taste. My sleep patterns during the cleanse were terrific, no doubt given the lack of caffeine and processed foods – the end result, more energy – a win-win!
Working with Marina and being educated by her about the power of nutrition and its effects on my overall health has been an eye-opening experience. Her personalized cleanse helped me reach my goal of better prioritizing my food choices, being aware of the nutritional content of foods and selecting foods that will benefit my particular health concerns.
