“I have been working with Elizabeth since 2015 (5 years now). At the time we started, I had no idea how much evolving I was capable of doing with the support that Elizabeth was able to provide me. We were able to skim the surface and get deep into my health and wellness goals pretty quickly. Despite the fact that I live in another state from Elizabeth she encouraged me to seek medical support at the clinic based on my symptoms that led to identifying auto-immune and thyroid disease. In addition to receiving the support I needed to gain a handle on my gut health, she has supported me through injury recovery, keto adaptation, marathon training, hormonal balance and overall wellness to include steady sleep patterns and maintaining healthy habits. I trust Elizabeth and that means the world to me when it comes to healing, maintaining and developing stronger wellness routines. “

"My session with Elizabeth was a welcome surprise. Her kind, non-judgemental, collaborative approach to nutrition was so helpful and honestly, something I didn't know I needed. She helped brainstorm easy nutrition swaps that have helped me have more energy, better sleep and less heartburn. What an incredible benefit!"

" I hit a wall in my triathlon training because I was running out of energy on my longer brick training days. Elizabeth provided me with nutritional advice and a revised meal plan that helped me find the energy I needed and exceed all my race time goals. "

“I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to friends and family. After our sessions, I felt much more educated, reminded of mindfulness, and what I need to eat to feel my best.”

“I had been working with my Naturopathic doctor to heal my hypothalamic amenorrhea for about a year, we were seeing improvements but still no period. Little did I know Elizabeth was the missing piece to my puzzle. She helped me understand how to fuel by body properly and what to eat when to feel my best. She helped me get over my “carb phobia” and incorporate more healthy carbs into my diet. I am happy to say I have had a period every month for the past 4 months and feel better then I have in years. Did I mention I’m almost 40 years old? Working with Elizabeth was one of the best decisions I have made for my health. “

“I am a 31 years old mother of three little ones. I believe in the strong connection between the human body and nutrition, and wanted to know ways to help with some of the issues I was dealing with- fatigue, bloating, headaches, skin breakouts. I contacted Elizabeth and immediately fell in love with her science based approach to food and nutrition. She is highly knowledgeable and extremely easy to speak with. We live quite far from each other, but the weekly phone sessions which worked out wonderfully. Elizabeth made herself available through email outside our sessions which was great for quick questions. Every time we spoke, I was impressed with her level of knowledge and understanding. Elizabeth made simple changes to my nutrition and created a personal plan for me. Within a few weeks my body and mind were making changes for the better. The power of food is amazing! I believe everyone, no matter what stage of life you are in, could benefit from a session with Elizabeth!”

“After completing the three-day Reset Nutrition Plan, I cannot recommend Elizabeth at Bright Belly Nutrition strongly enough. For a bit of context, I am a 42 year father, husband and working professional. I have a good history of watching what I eat, vigorous exercise, and lifelong commitment to surfing. But despite my vigor I couldn't lose those last handful of pounds and was beginning to chalk it up to age and feel frustrated that I maybe had hit an insurmountable plateau. I had tried cleanses and other approaches on my own, but never could complete them while executing my responsibilities personally and professionally.
Elizabeth's depth-oriented understanding of human physiology, nutrition, and performance was the solution I had been looking for, for at least a decade. With warm, pleasant precision she studied my wife and I, our nutrition habits, exercise regimens, and lifestyles. She then customized a plan that was workable and ultimately a smashing success. The Focus Reset plan allowed my wife and I to both perform in our various professional roles with the requisite energy required for the duration of the reset. After three days I had lost 7 pounds and walked away at the same weight I was in high school, while seeming to maintain the strength, athleticism and endurance I had been working on for so many years. At 42, it was the precise thing I needed to position myself to continue to be "fit for life" as they say. I cannot thank Elizabeth enough for her coaching, careful planning, and using a combination of science and incredible warm encouragement to get us to a healthier place in life and realize the full benefit of our hard work. “

" Working with Elizabeth was such an absolute delight. After establishing my goals of reducing bloat, restoring hormonal balance, and gaining a more proactive sleep schedule, Elizabeth made a plan that would work best with me and my busy lifestyle. As someone who finds it hard to stick to a regimented routine due to my line of work, I found it easy to follow her meal plans and to sustain the healthy habits she made me see are so important to my overall health. I found an almost instant reduction in my bloat after week one and after following her guidelines for about a month. I am now sleeping better than ever and feeling my body thank me for the new healthy lifestyle. " - Rikki, Oakland, CA
“When my husband and I suffered a miscarriage after becoming pregnant with our second child, we knew we wanted to take a break and refocus on intentionally preparing our bodies to try again in a few months. Elizabeth recommended we both do the Designs for Health 2-week detox. It was exactly what we needed at exactly the right time. She helped us navigate through the detox, tailoring it to our own unique needs. Ensuring I consumed enough food to keep my weight up, and helping my husband adjust when he was having digestive issues and not taking to the smoothies the first few days. We both finished the detox feeling vibrant and full of energy, less bloated, and were both sleeping better. With Elizabeth’s guidance we were ready to move forward in health.”

" Elizabeth is wonderful! Her vast knowledge about the body and hormones along with her deeply caring nature really gave me the confidence to begin to really listen to my body's needs. I felt such support and compassion from Elizabeth to create a diet guide that worked for my hormonal needs, mainly stress and anxiety. I have always considered myself a relatively healthy person but was having issues with these two things. After switching up my diet: incorporating supplements, pairing foods differently and eliminating certain foods that were not serving me, I began to notice a significant difference in my ability to deal with my anxiety and in my overall state of being. I've become more aware about what I am putting in my body and it's effects, long and short term, and am so grateful to have embarked on this journey with Elizabeth, thank you!

“Thank you, Elizabeth. When I first started with you I was trying to gain energy back after 5 years and pregnancy and breastfeeding. I wasn’t feeling like myself anymore. I hoped after my kids were out of the baby stage I would find myself again. It wasn’t until your guidance that I was able to make some big changes. Your weekly goals ended up being a lifesaver for me. I was able to get my energy back. Lose 15 lbs and also feel a little more freedom with eating out etc. Thank you so much for teaching me how to take care of myself! I will teach my kids all you have taught me!”
