Testimonials

A few years ago I worked with Emily and it was a wonderful experience! I was newly pregnant and her expertise on nutrition and vitamins/supplements really helped me. I’m not saying Emily is the reason I had a perfect baby, but I’m also not *not* saying it!

Emily helped me to find quality recipes and food that wouldn’t bother my stomach. She was easy to work with and very knowledgeable about food and stomach issues.

Emily is very knowledgeable and has a strong academic educational background to give sound advice.

Emily is very knowledgeable and was able to help me figure out how to best approach my complex health situation. After MRT testing she worked with me to come up with food options that were affordable and that tasted great. She even customized some recipes to help me out. I've been to many specialists over the years, and Emily is really thorough. If she doesn't know something, she will look it up and get back to you. For the first time in 15 years, I've been able to enjoy citrus fruits including juice. I've also stopped taking BOTH my reflux medicines that I've been taking for over 10 years. To top it off she's super nice and my moody preschooler even loves her.

Single meeting was held and Emily listened to what help I needed and provided the help needed without being pushy or trying to get me to follow a diet that I would or could not follow. I needed help with information and setting goals and she provided exactly the help needed. As I progress and need more help with food choices I will return.

Highly recommend LexStart Nutrition!

I have had Ulcerative Colitis since May 2015. In December 2021, I had a major flare-up. This included the following symptoms: bloating, gas, cramping, diarrhea, bleeding, urgency and numerous bowel movements (10+) per day. Emily was able to identify my food sensitivities and balance out my gut. Emily is a blessing, as today, I am almost symptom free. Emily is very knowledgeable, easy to understand, she listens great and you feel she genuinely cares. I would highly recommend you contact her for help if you are having any stomach/colon/digestive issues.

Emily was so helpful, skilled, and friendly. I highly recommend her services. I have an autoimmune condition and despite my medications being at the appropriate doses (based on blood work) I still felt tired, had insomnia, constipation, and some brain fog. I didn't know why I wasn't feeling good like before my autoimmune diagnosis but refused to believe that was as good as life would be in my mid-30's. Through MRT testing, I learned of SEVERAL sensitivities I have to foods that I was consuming (in some cases overconsuming) on a regular basis, so no wonder I felt so bad!

Throughout the long journey of the Gut Wellness plan, I had a lot of questions! So much of this was new to me and most of the sensitivities I have are found in many different foods, some listed under different names. She was always quick to respond through the messenger on her platform and very thorough in her responses to me so I had clear direction on what I should be eating/avoiding. She was also encouraging and flexible to work within my specific needs, which I appreciate.

It has been about 4 months since I completed the Gut Wellness plan and worked through the LEAP diet with Emily and I can say that I feel so much better! I no longer have insomnia, my bowel habits are normal/regular, generally I do not feel fatigue, I don't really need caffeine anymore, and I don't typically have brain fog. I feel like I have the knowledge to know what I can eat and what might make me feel a little tired/constipated the next day. Sometimes I do splurge for a night out with friends and am not strict with avoiding things I am sensitive to, but now I am more aware of how my body feels after I eat those things, so I can be selective about when/if I eat them and still enjoy social, food-related events.

If you aren't feeling as good as you want to, I would recommend at least having an introductory call with Emily to see if this is the right program for you. It was hard work at first to cut out so many foods from my diet, but I am glad I stuck with it and feel so much better now that I've completed the plan.

I am to the point I want more specific meal planning recommendations for my day-to-day life to hit certain macronutrient goals to further achieve my health and wellness goals. I look forward to working with Emily on this, too.

Couldn't be more happy! I went to doctors, specialists and nobody could help. They sent me home with "You probably have IBS we did everything we can". Well I knew that wasn't the case. With daily bloating, other digestive problem, and constant fatigue I knew something was wrong. I took a leap of faith and called Emily. In just the first couple of week she was able to help me. My gut is healing, my energy is back, my bloating is gone! If you are skeptical, DON'T BE. She is worth every cent!
