I’ve really enjoyed working with Gayatri. I like her comprehensive testing approach. After years of struggling and being told my labs looked normal I finally got answers from her. Since working with Gayatri my sleep and energy have improved. I’m looking forward to continuing my work with her and feeling even better!

Gayatri is wonderful to work with, she is very kind , patient and truly cares about your well being . I really enjoyed working with Gayatri these last couple of years. I’ve learned a great deal about Heath , nutrition and true mindfulness when it comes to taking care of Gods Temple ( our body, mind & soul) . I know now I am what I eat literally. I would truly recommend GAYATRI because she’s very thorough to the point and gives you many suggestions and find ways to heal your elements when it’s difficult to find the root cause. I came to GAYATRI because I had a case of Sibo , though I am not healed from it completely, due to stress and outside exterior matters that has not allowed me to fully heal, I now have the tools to go deeper in search of the root cause with the tool belt GAYATRI provided me with. I call GAYATRI the true medicine woman. She’s a blessing.

After decades of struggling with insomnia, mood disorders, and other health issues, I decided it was time to find help beyond my primary care physician. The comprehensive testing Gayatri ordered at the start of our work together revealed problems I was not aware of, and that my regular doctor had never discovered (high levels of lead in my blood, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and more). I was grateful for Gayatri’s advice and guidance, which was always spot on. Since working with her, my internal systems have been transformed. My energy is up and my sleep is absolutely better! I have learned so much about gut/brain health and how to better take care of myself. I would recommend working with Gayatri to anyone looking to improve their health in any way.

I wanted to see a functional nutritionist as I am a very avid intermittent faster and wanted a diet approach that supported it. It was good for gut health and overall diet improvement. You have to be disciplined to follow the recommendations, it’s not coaching. When bloodwork came back more complicated then I started to lose confidence in their expertise. Sessions are all verbal, over the phone, no zoom. Started to feel scammy toward the end with all the expensive supplements, which I assume is linked to commission, and the explanations were not clear to me. Overpriced half hour phone sessions IMO.

I've been working with Gayatri now for a couple of years. She's super passionate about what she does, a really good listener, and cares a lot about helping her clients to become their happiest and healthiest selves. When working with Gayatri, she considers all aspects of your life, not just diet alone, when figuring out how best to help you. She's been amazing at helping me through brain fog and fatigue and I've feeling much, much better as a result. Really happy having her as a partner to support my health.

I have been working with Gayatri to improve my gut health and address some ongoing digestive issues. I really value her science-based approach and “test don’t guess” method of practice. The thorough testing and analysis allowed her to create a detailed and individualized care plan that addressed my specific needs. I also learned a lot about how my gut health can impact other areas of my life. I’m still in the early stages of my plan, but I have already noticed an improvement. I look forward to continued treatment and results.

Gayatri is the best nutritionist to go to. She has helped me with my health problems. I complained of GI issues for years and had the opportunity to work with Gayatri for two years. I am delighted with her care. She has been very supportive of me, especially when I felt I wanted to give up. She was always there for advice, guidance, and education. I am happy to say I have made tremendous progress with her. My IBS symptoms have been under control with her help, not to mention my stomach flares have subsided significantly with her care. I highly recommend her if you want to reach any health goals or seek guidance regarding specific health concerns.

Gayatri is very friendly and scientific. She is easy to work with, and really cares about her clients. Before I found Gayatri, I was feeling quite bad with fatigue and brain fog and other symptoms. I had been through previous doctors, but felt like they were unable to really find and fix the roots of my problems. I was searching the internet and landed on one of Gayatri's blog posts. I started reading more, and really got the feeling she knows this biology stuff quite well. She is also reasonably local to me, which I thought would help (which it has), even though she works fully phone-based. After a few initial meetings and lab tests, she identified some issues right away that previous doctors missed. Her treatment is very systematic, and has a concrete reason for every supplement she prescribes, while I felt like previous doctors were just guessing what might be the problem and what might help. I'm just a few months into her comprehensive plan for my recovery. While I'm still not doing well, at least I feel like we're on the right track. Gayatri is comforting in acknowledging that healing takes time. I am hopeful to feel better in the future under her care.
