"IMPROVED MY LIFE"
Michelle’s nutrition program and continuous support have improved my life tremendously. My constant bloating disappeared, my metabolism and energy levels got so much better, and I managed to lose over 30 pounds (14kg) slowly and steadily, which is the best way to maintain stable results.
Michelle is one of the kindest, most caring and yet professional people I’ve met, and it’s been a real privilege to work under her guidance for the past 16 months

"TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY"
I love the meal options on The Food Effect Method, and the fact that I can switch meals around to suit my week and schedule, and what food I have on hand is fantastic. I have lost about 5 stones (70 pounds!) following The Food Effect principles for 11 months –I’m now down to my goal weight and couldn’t be happier.
I have tried plenty of diets over the years, but this is a way of eating that I intend to follow for the rest of my life and where I feel GREAT – fit and healthy, with good skin and loads of energy which is not bad for someone who is now nearly 60.
I’ve recommended The Food Effect Method to others and my sister has lost 10 kilos (22 pounds) in 6 weeks since starting this program. Further proof if it were needed that this works! No hesitation at all about recommending Dr Michelle’s approach!

"EATING MORE,
LOSING WEIGHT"
I went to see Michelle primarily because I needed help controlling “some long-standing stomach issues”. Michelle suggested an eating plan that was easy to follow and allowed me to eat much more than I was before, and instead the correct foods for me. Within a week my stomach symptoms were under control and I was losing weight too! In four months I lost just under 18 pounds, and the best part is I no longer take any medication for my stomach which I'd been on for years. Michelle – I was skeptical at first about "eating more and losing weight" but guess what?? You were right! Thank you for your friendliness, availability and support, and for turning my life around!
