Nutritionists near Richmond

“This review is much overdue. Dr. Rachelle, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I had a health issue I was first diagnosed with in 2019, and had initial consultation for treatment methods with another care provider. The initial provider had recommended a surgical procedure - which I was extremely hesitant about as my first choice (as it came with risks). Even after expressing concerns - that provider failed to really offer me other alternative options so I took it upon myself to do some research and seek out different opinions/options...which ultimately led me to finding Dr. Rachelle! :) Not only does Dr. Rachelle come with an amazing & warm personality, she is also extremely intelligent yet mindful and considerate of her patients. I decided right away after our first initial consultation that I wanted to work with her through my problem. I loved that she incorporated a variety of holistic methods (IV's, cupping, acupuncture, diet change, herbal tinctures, vitamin supplements) in her care plan and the fact that she had studied Chinese/Eastern medicine was a bonus for me. She was very thorough in detailing out step by step instructions and a list of to-do's with descriptions in my plan of care via email. If I ever had any questions or concerns she was easily accessible through email or even text, which I loved the convenience of. During my time with her, she was great to talk with and consistently made sure I was as comfortable as can be, even during the painful moments - she made me feel at ease. I have a lot of anxiety surrounding this issue so I'm sure I didn't make it much easier for her. I loved that she always took notes, and even drawings, to record our progress and easily explain to me the small improvements each time until we've reached our goal. I will be eternally grateful to her.. she is the true definition of a healer. Thank you, Dr. Rachelle :)“

“Highly recommend TNT! I came in intimidated by strength training, and now it's a core part of my weekly routine. Eric and Rikko are incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely fun to train with. The community is wonderful too — every time I'm in the gym, the vibe is supportive and positive. I also travel a lot, and they've been great about staying flexible, even doing virtual sessions when I'm on the road. Training with them has made a real difference in my overall fitness, mental health, and even my running and pickleball.“

“I had never had acupuncture until I came to Energy Matters and the staff made sure I felt safe and supported. Mandy is always empathetic, encouraging, and provides me with additional ways to improve my health and well-being. I also appreciate Leilia greeting me at the front desk with kindness and a warm welcome. If you haven’t tried acupuncture but want to, I highly recommend Energy Matters!“

“Srinika’s nutritional analyses and supplements have helped me with many health challenges the past few years. The most dramatic was a painful knee that had been difficult off and on for many years. Several months ago it had become quite painful whenever I went down steps (which I do daily). Srinika recommended avoiding certain foods, and also gave me supplements, which were from good sources. I really thought it was a long shot, but after two weeks I was most pleasantly surprised that the pain was gone! Her techniques allow her to look at a troubling situation; figure out probably causes; and then come up with methods to make things better. And they work! I’ll mention one other challenge… because of my aging eyes, I had difficulty driving at night and didn’t feel it was safe, so avoided night driving. Sometimes my daughter or a friend would pick me up, but mostly I stopped going to evening events and activities. After some deep dives with Srinika into possible causes, as well as taking nutritional supplements, I’m now able to do limited driving at night, for which I am grateful. And I think there’s a good chance that my eyesight will continue to improve!“

“Comprehensive and caring services in a clean and friendly environment. My daughter and I are benefiting from her care after being involved in a car accident. She has helped with relieving some of the stiffness and aches we are suffering from. We are still continuing care at this time and see the progression over the course of our sessions. We are thankful.-Rowena Pinpin“

“I cannot recommend Dr. Erin Fitzgerald and The Women's Vitality Center highly enough! When I first came to Dr. Fitzgerald, I was struggling with perimenopausal symptoms—fatigue, low mood, weight gain, skin issues, hot flashes, and difficulty sleeping. Unlike my previous experiences, she took the time to truly listen, understand how I was feeling, and, more importantly, how I wanted to feel.

Through comprehensive testing (which had never been offered by my primary care physician), we were able to pinpoint what was happening with my hormones and overall health. With a personalized approach, we addressed the root causes rather than just the symptoms.

One year later, I feel like myself again! My mood has improved, my sleep is restful, and the hot flashes are gone. I’ve lost 20 pounds and feel more energetic than I have in years. Dr. Fitzgerald’s expertise, compassion, and holistic approach made all the difference.

If you’re struggling with perimenopausal symptoms or just want to feel your best, I wholeheartedly recommend The Women's Vitality Center!“

“Mina and Conrad and the epitome of healing. Whether receiving guidance on nutrition, muscle release from Conrad, or perfectly positioned pins by Mina...you're left with a rebirth of wellness personalized for YOU. Many times acupuncturists, massage therapists, dietitians...they only practice/prescribe what works for them. Both Mina and Conrad are incredibly sensitive/curious to your needs as a patient and the result is simply bliss. Come by and see for yourself!!“

“I've been going to Perfect Fit Training for over 5 years and can't imagine working out anywhere else. It's such a relief to train in a small, friendly space instead of fighting for equipment at the bigger gyms. Jasmine has been my trainer this whole time and she's amazing - she knows exactly when to push me harder and when to dial it back depending on what's going on in my body and life. I am excited to continue my fitness journey at Perfect Fit!“

“Dr. Dizon is amazing. He has helped me put me back together in two different occasions. I was already making worse case scenario assumptions but Dr Dizon fixed what needed to be fixed and the pain was gone both times. He is super knowledgeable and really cares.“

“Shoshana has an amazing job helping me with a esophagitis and low energy. I have healed so much since working with her and I highly recommend her treatments.“

“Ver impressed. Jumpstart caught a serious health issue while assessment me that my team at Stanford missed. Naturally, I am hugely grateful. The program has been very organized and professional“

“Very respectful, knowledgeable, and professional trainer. The best workout I’ve ever had.“

“Such a peaceful, calming, and relaxing session. Mamie is a very knowledgeable practitioner. I had acupuncture, cupping and Moxotherapy. It was amazing!
I drove home on 80 East in 4:30pm Rush Hour traffic and never even got frustrated at the idiot drivers lol.“

“I' ve been seeing Carolyn for years and when I stop in for a Well Care Visit it only takes a quick chat and a little observation to see where I'm at and use a few needles to have me focused and tension free. I also took some tests that helped her recommend some suppliments that had me feeling 100% better.“

“I came to Tammy because I was having a hard time feeling satisfied after meals and felt overwhelmed at figuring out an actually healthy path forward to improving my eating habits post stressful life events (and not just listening to folk on Tik Tok). Over the course of our time together, Tammy helped me to shift the way I thought about food, promoting simple but effective steps to take after each phone call together. She listened to my concerns and prior frustrations from working with apps and coaches in the past and never once nudged any boundaries I set down. There was no such thing as a stupid question and Tammy made sure I had all the resources, answers, links, and videos I needed to be successful in forming better habits. I really appreciated that she worked with what was functional and accessible for me--on a budget, without a car, limited freezer space, etc. Instead of reminding me to scoop out my morning bagel like prior coaches have, Tammy asked each call what worked for me, what didn't, and what helped me to feel satisfied at each meal. Then we'd find one thing to improve--adding more color to each meal or adding a "sprinkle" like sunflower seeds or olive oil to help a meal reach its full nutritional potential. I also never felt like I was on my own in anything Tammy suggested I try. Gotta make my own broth this week to cook with? Here are great places to get bones, here is a recipe to do it, here are instructions for your instantpot, etc. Want to start incorporating more fish into my diet? Here are 3 brands for tinned fish, a local catch market for seasonal choices, and recipes. I was able to develop sustainable, long-lasting healthy habits by working with Tammy and I find myself continuing to grow with her guidance even though our sessions together are over. After absolutely refusing to put chia seeds in anything for our 15 weeks together, the other day I ate them willingly because I thought "Tammy said these are good for me and I haven't had them yet." This was the shift I was looking for and I'm so thankful for Tammy's warmth, knowledge, and support. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.“

“My lower back was so out of place I couldn't jog from a walk and had a couple acute pain freeze and panic moments.I knew immediately I needed Dr. Eva! I've trusted her completely for over 10 years.This morning at 10am ... she worked her magic (rather scientific chiropractic & kinesiology that still feels like magic to me) and I played tennis for an hour at 11:30am.I stretched carefully at first ... felt not a hint of pain ... and I played some great tennis today without missing a step.I trusted I would be able to play tennis today. Even though I couldn't jog, stretch, or twist without some intense and frightening pain.Getting better is awesome!!Knowing you have an answer that works ... priceless!! ?❤️“

“I have been training at The Perfect Workout twice a week since January 7, 2019. If you are looking for personal trainers who meet you at your current abilities and help you achive stamina and strength, this is the perfect place for you. I've lost three inches; and, I am so much stronger! This strength recently came in handy. I had my entire home interior painted, including closets. I was able to assist my son with unassemly and moving my heavy furniture! Thanks to all my trainers over the year in El Cerrito....Chris, Alyssa, Greg, and Melisa!“

“Melinda and I have been working on a number of physical issues that I've collected over a lifetime of biking and running and crashing. I didn't realize that I was dealing with whiplash until I went to Melinda to help me resolve the issue of getting headaches after strenuous bike rides. She showed me how to release knotted up muscles in my neck. Now, after several visits, I am living a much better, pain free existence. I'm riding strenuously again and have a management plan for preventing the post ride headaches. Her philosophy is to get you back to being independent of therapy by doing your own maintenance work. Stretching, exercises, and being conscious of what your body is telling you.“

“I stated to see Dr Chiu because of brain fog, occipital neuralgia and gut issues. I started to see him when I was 60 years old. My Mom died of dementia and I was worried I was headed in the direction. My journey started with him in late 2018 and continued early in 2019. At that time my first consultation was $500 for 60 minutes, then a 25 minutes appointment was $300. He did raise those prices while I was still getting treated. He was wonderful, compassionate, and heard my issues like no doctor had ever done. I often got teary eyed when he would give me feedback because I was so desperate. Financially, it was a huge strain. He recommended I do the 5 day Brain Save Program, which was $4995.00, the MBCW 12 week treatment plan for $1,995.00. I did both programs and bought all the supplements that he recommended. I did an elimination date for 30 days right off the bat, which made a tremendous difference. My gut was a mess. The 12 week treatment included infrared light treatment, oxygen treatment and some kind of vibration therapy, and the sauna treatment. I loved everything about my time spent there. I definitely spent over $10,000 in the few months I saw him. The treatment dropped off after the conclusion of my MBCW 12 week SESSION. I don't know how I dropped off, because he said they would follow up with me to see how I was doing. At the end he got my results of my GI MAP test $525, and my SIBO test, $345, and gave me the print out of both tests, but I never got a explanation from him because honestly, his $500+ office visit was just more than I could afford for the test explanation. Sorry I didn't do that, but I can't imagine how much he charges now. He works mostly, I felt like, with concussion patients when I was there. Most of the people I spoke to while we were there together had some brain trauma. I found all of my issue cleared up once I cleared my gut issues up. He is also a chiropractor, and I saw him for a few sessions, which were wonderful. Initially we thought my occipital pain came from inflammation, so I had hoped me changing my diet would help, but I had an extreme painful neuralgia during my treatment with him. I have now found out that it's a posture issue, which I found out through process of elimination. It was a once in a lifetime treatment for me because of the cost, and fortunately, my brain fog and gut issues went away with my change of diet. For me, I probably could have seen just a function medicine doctor and had a similar result. Now that I have educated myself more on gut issues, brain fog is a very common symptom for gut issues.“

“First time going to Chiropractor. Was awesome. I love Carol she is a great energetic genuine person. I felt so comfortable with her and I can't wait to go again!“

“The OAIMC team members are extremely knowledgeable and professional when it comes to all of their services provided. In my experiences over the past couple of years, the acupuncture & massage treatments are always coupled with a holistic health approach and personal consultation. Their yoga classes are also taught by great instructors and the tea/herb bar is always stocked. The atmosphere of the clinic and the treatment rooms are clean, welcoming and OAIMC offers a convenient DT Oakland location. Thank you August, Christina and the rest of the OAIMC team. Highly recommend!“

“The best!! Look no further , Dr. Gertonson has taken care of me and my daughter for over 10 years.“
