Thank you for guiding me through the LEAP Program. I am enjoying normal digestion now. My MRT food sensitivity test revealed that I was eating highly reactive foods daily. Once I eliminated these foods my irritable bowel symptoms went away for the first time in many years. Thank you.

Many of my patients who've gone on the LEAP Program have had remarkable improvement in disease conditions which, by conventional methods, were considered untreatable. I have found that many common conditions respond to the LEAP approach. It has been very helpful for inflammatory and irritable bowel disorders, eczema, fatigue, arthritic conditions, and other autoimmune problems. I frequently recommend LEAP to my patients as I have seen and know the benefits that can be obtained by changing their diet without putting the patient at risk.

I see patients every day with irritable bowel syndrome, GERD and other functional digestive problems where diet can play a role in provoking symptoms. I have found LEAP-MRT to be a very useful tool. MRT reliably identifies reactive foods, and I consistently see remarkable clinical improvement in my patients by implementing a diet based on MRT results. I highly recommend MRT to any physician or patient who deals with any of these problems.

For 40 years I've had migraines, the last 20 +/- with a headache every day. I've tried all the "new" drugs, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, massage, etc. Nothing seemed to help other than to give minor and temporary relief.
Finding the LEAP Program has been like finding a miracle. Since starting the LEAP Program two months ago I haven't had a full blown migraine, and the chronic headaches has been completely eliminated.
With the LEAP Program and without the constant pain, I have more energy and quite a few of my other aches and pains have gone away. Thank you from me and all of my family!

Donna is a great resource for nutritional information. Her healthy cooking classes are amazing. She is able to use ingredients I would not have thought to use and makes delicious recipes for my entire family. Her presentation, instructions, and the information she provides is professional. I would recommend her services anytime.

Everyone should try Donna's cooking classes! Healthy and tasty, they can be prepared in the blink of an eye for the whole family.

Your breakfast demo was good. The variety of recipes is helpful. I'm feeling a lot better. Being in the program is giving me presence of mind to keep tabs on my body and the fuel it needs and constantly watching the food that I eat. For so many years, I just threw whatever in my mouth. Thank you for all your help and encouragement.

I really enjoyed attending these cooking classes. If you know anyone else who may enjoy any of the services Healthy Directions offers, please pass this on!
Donna Wolf is a Registered Dietitian and a friend of mine. I've attended her cooking classes in her own kitchen; such a lovely, friendly atmosphere. I'm planning to attend more! She is genuine and knows how to make eating and cooking healthy and do-able! I'm learning how to cook better for my family (and me too). If you love to cook, or you need to find healthier food choices, come with me to a class or check it out on your own. Donna is awesome!

The pizza class last night was terrific...so much fun, just what I needed. Let me know your schedule for the next series. Thanks!

Healthy Directions, what an awesome name! It is NOT about dieting, but about lifestyle changes toward a path of mindful behaviors which develop lifelong good habits. I went in with a rebellious attitude and have traded that in for the knowledge tha I CAN follow good habits of exercise and "normal" eating. Donna Wolf gives gentle guidance and support. I've been aided by insights from others in the group. I started seeing results almost immediately. The gentle weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week was good enough for me! After 5 months, I have lost 30 pounds and 29 cholesterol points! I have been able to discontinue one of my blood pressure medications and foresee going off the other soon. I am so happy to be able to MOVE more comfortably and I can't alter my clothes (down 2-3 sizes) fast enough!

It seems like 5 lbs. ago I thought I couldn't get the scale to go down. I have made a lot of changes in my life this year and I am happy to say that I am much healthier now.

I enjoyed the tour and felt like the "hands on" was more real to me than just talking about it. We all had questions about foods that pertained to each of us and you gave answers which further helps in making decisions when we are shopping. Comparing food labels in the store takes loads of time, but with you there to interpret some of the language, it became easier to see that it is very important to continue to do this....The fact is becoming clearer to me that the more basic the food, the better for you. I enjoyed the field trip and hope you do other trips in the future.

The Healthy Directions of Poway program has taught me how to keep my body properly fueled with energy, thus strengthening healthy eating habits and mindful eating. I have lost 20 lbs. in 4 months and I am getting ready to achieve my major goal, which is running a complete marathon (23+ miles). If your goal is to improve eating habits, accustom to it, and consequently lose weight, then I recommend to you the Healthy Directions of Poway program.

Katie and Jessica had a great time! It was their first cooking class ever, so they weren't sure what to expect, but I think they were pleasantly surprised! Katie has been saying that she wants to make that pork dish for us for dinner soon. Who am I to say no?...I was looking for a regular cooking class that she could take during the summer, but couldn't find anything. I like that your class was about healthy cooking (so often the classes offered elsewhere showcase more fat-laden, caloric recipes that I would never choose to cook for my family). I know that Jessica's mom wanted the same kind of class for her daughter. Thanks again for the great class.
