What Some of our Clients are Saying
“Thank you Kristin for putting together this group detox- I really appreciate not only your knowledge, but also the way you support and guide us to really question and pay attention to how eating and taking care of ourselves really feel for each of us. Your approach is so much more useful than a list of what “everybody” should do and feel to be healthy. As a result, I lost 6 lbs. I feel more present, content, calm, and clear. I feel like I’m holding less stress in my body. I don’t react negatively in the morning to my alarm anymore and I got rid of that groggy / bogged down feeling. I feel better about maintaining my personal boundaries and giving myself what I need. I stopped eating all those “extras” and I don’t miss them. The detox has been really great experience and it really helped to do this in a group. Thank you!” - Dawne
“Big Thank you to Kristin for all your expert advice, tips, and encouragement… you rock! Being part of a group made this detox not only do-able, but fun! I feel so much more energy! I Lost 15 pounds. I am way more patient in the face of stress and chaos. I am sleeping way better… way way better. This experience has been life changing! I feel like I got my life back… thank you Kristin!” – Salvatore
“Thanks, Kristin, for putting this detox together! It was a good experience even though it was challenging for me at times. I feel like I learned a lot and can improve my life and health with what I’ve learned. I have learned to eat more healthily – choosing quinoa over bread with my salads! I’ve lost 5 pounds. I’ve built up my self-discipline; I’m not as tempted to eat bad foods as I was before. My friends tell me I am glowing!” -Carol
“Kristin– Thanks for your guidance and support on the cleanse. I feel better physically and mentally I’m more grounded and less anxious. I am in a good place and my intention is to stay here. Thanks again for your help and support.” - Diane
“Thank you for guiding me through the last three weeks. The elimination of sugar from my diet has been an amazing experience. I feel like my body has stabilized in a healthy place. I feel a completely different kind of hunger now. Prior to the detox, I would experience bouts of overwhelming hunger. I would come home from work and snack on crackers, candy, chips, popcorn- anything available. Now, I get hungry but I’m still able to focus and I do not crave the sweetest, or saltiest food I can find. I definitely feel like I reached my goal of taking time to break some bad habits. The experience was both challenging and rewarding. It was great to have the group meetings and know that others were going through the same experience. The unexpected benefits include much clearer and softer skin- it’s really amazing. I also do not feel bloated or “puffy.” I’ve been eating less, but my energy level feels stabilized. I’m able to make it to the next meal without a lot of snacking. I have better focus and I feel more present in my interactions with others. I haven’t been weighing myself, but I feel healthy. So, the experience exceeded expectations and definitely has pointed me in the direction of improving my overall health. Thanks so much, Kristin!” -Karen
“I had the pleasure of meeting Kristin Hoppe this winter when I contacted her for nutrition counseling. After a few consultations, she suggested I do a detox. This program was awe inspiring. I found I had so much energy that I was running around doing projects I had been putting off for a long time; my mind was clear; I shed a good five pounds; I had better control of my emotions. The program was actually easier than I thought it would be, and I must say the results were fantastic. During the three weeks, Kristin welcomed my questions via email and was prompt at returning them with answers. I have found Kristin to be extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and anything to do with health. During this process I learned to eat whole foods and prepare them in many ways thanks to the hundreds of recipes from Kristin’s online library. Most of all, I learned that ultimately it is me who decides what goes in my mouth. But without Kristin’s guidance this revelation may have taken me longer to realize. I trust her advice and recommend that you contact her immediately if you need to learn better ways of eating. Rock on, Kristin!”
Marjolaine F., San Francisco, CA
“Unless you have worked with Kristin, you won’t truly be able to appreciate the title of her practice ‘Food Therapy’. Kristin doesn’t just hand out menu plans or tell you to stop eating this or start eating that, which is what I was originally expecting when I first signed up to work with her. The service she provides is so much more. Kristin speaks to you with care, compassion and encouragement. She takes the time to really understand what is happening in your life and how that impacts your relationship with food. While I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge related to nutrition and healthy living, what I felt was even more important was learning more about myself, which allowed me to make different decisions for me and my family going forward. Kristin has a lot of passion about her work and she has been a great coach for me on my healthy living journey.”
Katie L., Development Consultant, Walnut Creek, CA
“I completed a 21 day cleanse with Kristin after years of eating just about whatever I wanted to and not paying attention to my nutritional needs. At the end of the program I felt lighter, healthier, and I have re-learned how to eat. Kristin is compassionate about what she is doing and cares about the success of her client’s. She gave me the kick-start I needed to continue with new healthy eating habits and taking care of my body. Thanks Kristin for helping me get back on track.”
Ginger W., Consultant & Massage Therapist, San Francisco, CA
“I have never posted a note before, but I am so impressed by the service I got that I felt I had to give a little back. Kristin was very understanding and shone a light on my health. Caring is a good word to describe Kristin, as she informed me to my particular dieting needs. Through working with Kristin I met my goals, and I am now feeling healthy once again.”
Mark O., Supervisor, San Francisco, CA
“I wanted to tell you how pleasurable it has been to work with you. Thanks for your good counsel and your openness. It’s been a real pleasure.”
Barbara G., Canadian Diplomat, San Francisco, CA
“If you are looking for someone who knows what she is doing when it comes to nutrition, Kristin is your girl. I have stomach problems; she helped me figure out what to eat and what not to eat. I did the group cleanse and I loved it. Kristin was very helpful throughout the 3-week cleanse. I felt great and I lost weight after doing it. I highly recommend seeing her, especially during these tough times.”
Traci T., Hair Stylist, San Francisco, CA
“Kristin is an amazing nutrition counselor, motivator and inspiration. I came to Kristin because I wanted to develop a better relationship with food, one that wasn’t based on emotions or instant gratification. Going on a crash diet was not for me because I wanted to enact changes that would last a lifetime. Instead of focusing on immediate results (which I ended up getting anyway), Kristin helps you be thoughtful about what you put into your body and help you explore habits and practices that are not healthy. I walked away from my 10 sessions with Kristin with a renewed perspective on food, eating and its relationship to my happiness and well-being.”
Jenny C., 28, Attorney, San Francisco
“I’ve had stomach and digestion issues and Kristin’s insight, programs and planning have been outstanding. Not only that, she is a great listener and easy to talk with. If you’re looking to improve your overall health, detox/cleanse or have any sort of health issues – smart nutrition is the best approach…. Kristin is amazing.”
Eric A., 31, Chief Operating Officer, Connecticut
“A new phase in life prompted me to sign up for a group cleanse, to give my body a fresh start too. I’m so glad I trusted Kristin to guide me through the process! She always encouraged and never scolded when we strayed from the rules a bit. I loved hearing her insight into the benefits of detoxing our bodies, her experiences from previous cleanses, and her thoughts as she joined us throughout ours. That, combined with her yummy recipes using the foods that best promote detox, made the experience a success. Her passion for and knowledge of nutrition establish Kristin as a top ally in the quest for ultimate health and happiness!”
Angela M., Biotech Consultant, San Francisco
My October 2008 physical revealed high cholesterol and hypertension. Not wanting to go on medication, I enrolled in Food Therapy’s individual nutrition program. Owning my own computer business, I travel extensively and work long hours, but Kristin gave great information and coaching on how and when to eat and how to fit healthy habits into a busy schedule. We held our sessions over the phone, and it worked well for my busy life on the road. I was surprised to discover that small changes can make a big impact, and over time, nutrition became fun. Self-care became so much easier because I learned what to eat and how to treat my body well. Kristin provided me a great education, support, and coaching, and I could not have done this on my own. My favorite things about the nutrition coaching were the flexibility, learning the benefits of food and the variety of options available, getting help with grocery lists, learning where and why to buy foods, and the recipes. I also liked exploring a more holistic, natural approach to healthcare as opposed to medications. I lost 20 pounds in less than 5 months and my hypertension is gone. I also learned that nutrition isn’t just about food; it’s about understanding yourself. Kristin opened me up. You feed off your emotions. It wasn’t just about eating healthy foods; it was about knowledge and understanding what the food meant to me. I am very happy with the results and Kristin’s help in getting me there!”
