Wise Roots Nutrition

Carla rocks! She is a true healer. I struggled with acne and the worst digestive issues before meeting her. She’s the first person who knew how and in what ways I should be tested to get to the root of my troubles. The supplements and dietary changes she recommended are doing wonders for me. So so so grateful for her help! :)

Carla did a «Lunch and Learn» presentation with my company last year as part of an employee appreciation day. We had never done something like this with our team, and are a fairly health conscious group, so it ended up being a really great event. She talked about eating healthy in the workplace, and outlined a lot of achievable steps our employees could take towards being healthy. I find often with nutrition you know where you need to be, but that can sometimes seem daunting and not achievable. She was also very interactive and approachable. Employees had questions throughout her presentation, which she was able to relate back to the topic. She even chatted with several folks after the presentation and helped them out with more specific questions. We will definitely be bringing her back for another lunch and learn with our group!

I found Carla on Unilocal,so it’s fitting that this is my very first Unilocal review given my experience with her.
Here’s my story — I had been thinking about working with a nutritionist for years now, no one would have told you I needed to lose weight, I’ve always been able to eat anything I wanted, but I just wasn’t feeling great — consistently tired, regularly bloated and not knowing specifically what to change.
I decided to invest in myself and my health and I am ever so glad that I did. Carla helped me accomplish more than I had anticipated. She’s kind, direct, encouraging, full of knowledge and has helped me realize how my eating habits were dragging me down and how I can change those habits and create new ones — even through camping trips and work travel and an incredibly busy schedule. It was a three month process with very powerful results.
Invest in yourself, I’m very happy that I did and I highly recommend working with Carla.

Carla has been very helpful in putting me on a path towards good health. All my sessions with her have been very informative and helpful. I’ve learnt so much about my own body and health during the past 3 months that I am now acutely aware of what’s going on inside of me.
My skin really has visibly improved while working with Carla and tweaking things along the way. While I am still a work in progress, I’m very grateful for all the improvements and knowledge that I have gained these past few months.
In my journey towards better health, Carla has been invaluable and I cannot recommend her enough.

I highly recommend Carla. I went to her for help with my digestion issues. After just two sessions with Carla I was able to make changes to my diet that greatly improved my digestion problems. Another great benefit is that I lost weight as well!
If you want to work with someone who is very knowledgable and passionate about nutrition then Carla is the lady for you. Call her today. She will change your life!

Since I’ve been reading health magazines and books and going to the gym for years, I thought I pretty much knew what I need to do to be fit and was hesitant to utilize Carla’s service. Was I wrong! I learned so much from her. For example, I learned how to lose weight without counting calories, what caused my uncomfortable bloatedness and stomach problem, and how proper nutrition is different for everyone. I now have more energy, sleep better, and feel healthier overall. I recommend Carla to anyone who wants to stop dieting and change their relationship with food. Guidance from Carla has been priceless.

Carla is an amazing nutritionist. As a PhD chemist with an interest in nutrition, I thought I knew how to eat right and stay healthy. Working with Carla I realized how little even the most well-​read person knows about true nutrition. She really opened up my eyes to so many different topics, from birth control to healthy fats, I’m not exaggerating when I say it changed my life. I’ve never been particularly overweight, but I’ve always had 5 – 10 lbs I wanted to lose. After only a few months with Carla, I lost 12 lbs and I feel fantastic. Eliminating gluten from my diet helped me feel light and full of energy. Replacing rancid oils with healthy fats has significantly improved my digestion. Carla also helped me analyze my blood results and found that I needed to add more iron to my diet. Altogether, my experience with Carla has been exceptional. She is persuasive without being pushy; she gently guides you through the maze of nutritional misinformation perpetuated by Food Inc., and helps you find the healthy, fit person inside of you. She is also particularly understanding and sympathetic to different situations. I cannot recommend Carla enough!

Carla is one of the best at what she does. she gets it! The low fat and diet revolution is not working. Carla understands the power of biochemical individuality and the need to address each individual on a personal level because what works for one person may not work for another. Carla is well trained and has a chair side manor that is pleasing to be around. If your tired of the yoyo diets and want a solid solution to your health and nutrition issues then give Carla at Wise Roots Nutrition a try. you will not be disappointed!

Diets are stupid. Understand food and eat like you mean it.
I’ve been seeing Carla for over a year, and I’ve had tremendous results. I was on prescription antacid medication for almost 12 years. My guts were broken to say the least, and I was eating anything that edible and thought I was fine. Then I stopped taking the meds and realized my whole system was a disaster. Just a few weeks after seeing Carla I found those acid reflux symptoms were disappearing, and I wasn’t hating the way I was eating. I was loving it.
Carla hasn’t just helped me get rid of a crappy health problem though; she’s opened my eyes to a huge and incredible world of nutrition and good-​food nerdom. She appeals to my intellect on thinking about and talking about food. She doesn’t dumb stuff down, and she knew exactly how to get me excited and motivated about food.
I’m still a blue-​belt in the nutritional arts, but under Carla’s tutelage I feel like the journey will be far more enriching and gratifying.

So I’m not really the reviewing type, honestly I never have the time-​but my experience with Carla has prompted me to share. Early in 2012 I also started experiencing pretty extreme GI problems. I also have psoriasis, which in the last 2 years has gotten really severe. (I could not wear short sleeves or skirts.) In the midst of a lot of testing and waiting for appointments w/​docs, I started seeing Carla.
I won’t go into specific details of her recommendations– (they’re going to be different for each person) but here’s what I can tell you: Carla is extremely thorough with her intake, very informed, and honestly just very likable. She will ask you to do things/​try things that are hard– be ready for that. Food is a very personal thing. But she works with the person, not a template. (I provided additional challenges by being a lacto-​ovo veg for the last 23 years)
Results? First target was addressing my gut. Within 4 – 6 weeks, my GI symptoms had all but vanished– at least a 90% improvement. They have been completely gone now for 7 – 8 months. At about month 3, my psoriasis started to break up and clear. Any of you who have suffered from chronic skin conditions know– just to see the tide turn is a HUGE deal. This was also without immunosuppressant drugs, UV treatments or steroids my dermatologist was recommending.
I am now seeing her only once a month– the steady progress with my skin continues,(at least 80% clear!) and my gut is doing great. I hope to be in short sleeves and a skirt somewhere sunny in the new year. I’ve learned a lot. I’m a huge fan. Go see her, she’s great!

Working with Carla has changed my life. After moving to New York City and starting a graduate degree, I noticed the dramatic life changes taking a toll on my body. I began working with Carla to reduce and find natural ways of alleviating stress. Her thorough intake and research to help find the right combinations through supplements and diet adjustments has assisted me in a wonderful change of lifestyle. She is extremely personable and always has her client’s best interests in mind. Her strong knowledge base and professional outlook has instilled in me a new outlook on how to live healthy. She has my highest recommendation!!!

Carla is incredible! I had horrible digestion problems for years, which was affecting my energy, my brain, and my overall attitude. After eliminating certain foods, like gluten, and increasing my intake of fresh veggies, pasture-​raised meat, and eating a ton of fat, yeah FAT, I have never felt better. She even gave me some recipes for healthy cookies and other treats using almond flour, raw honey, etc. The best part of the experience is she spent a good amount of her time figuring out exactly what my body needs, and has empowered me to be the healthiest, most vibrant I can be. I recommend her for any and all your health needs! She’s the BEST!
