What my clients are saying

“As a certified personal trainer, I thought I was eating a very healthy diet. When I worked with Margaret, I realized that I was not getting the proper nutrition that my body needed. Sometimes I can’t believe that I can really eat butter and not feel guilty! I can’t believe that after years of dieting, my weight has stabilized and I never feel deprived.”
- Christi Schimpke, CPT, National Academy of Sports Medicine

“This amazing eating philosophy has yielded two unexpected and surprising results. First, I’m enjoying eating more than ever before while eating foods I love, like avocadoes and bacon. Second, as I have learned to relate to food differently and be mindful about what I eat and how I eat, my body image has seemingly magically improved. Eating naked is so much more than a nutritional program. It’s a new way to think about food and pleasure, life and self.”
- Michael Douglas

“Eating naked has transformed my life completely, allowing me to lose unwanted weight and feel healthier and more powerful every day of my life. The increased energy I have supports my career and relationship growth, empowering me to live my dreams. For me, eating naked has become a way of life, the naked life!”
- April Kuramoto, client, yoga instructor, and BLYS Yoga Studio founder and owner

“If you are in need of a food/health/life shift, then Margaret is your go-to-girl. She is sensitive to your lifestyle needs, creates realistic, attainable goals and will reorganize your diet to reflect a simple, nutritional whole way of eating that for me, has now become a life plan, not just a quick fix.”
- Emily Wagner, GroomedLA

“I’ve always loved food, but after learning to Eat Naked I’m enraptured. I’ve learned so much about what to eat and ways to prepare food that have totally turned me on. Cooking my own soups, preparing nuts and grains, and making yogurt from raw goat’s milk have become delights that make the simple pleasure of eating even more enchanting.”
- Debra Joy, Bcelebrated

“It was a pleasure working with you. The highly personalized nutrition program not only made me feel better but also provided me with great ideas for introducing enjoyable and tasty news foods into my diet. You are highly recommended!”
- L. Repetto

“As with most people, over the years I’ve found it harder and harder to keep my weight stable. Margaret helped me modify my diet and life style and I lost weight and was able to quit taking a couple of medications. Eating naked requires a little common sense but it never feels like a diet.”
- Kent Valandra

“Working with Margaret has provided me with tools for health and weight loss. When I started working with Margaret I couldn’t eat without serious digestive issues that affected my life profoundly because I couldn’t travel comfortably and couldn’t leave the house before 10 am without problems. After a few months of experimenting with change of diet and some supplements, the condition improved remarkably and I was “normal” for the first time in years. She has taught me patience both with the process of becoming healthy looking for the long term “fix” instead of the short term one. If I fall off the plan she has taught me to forgive myself and use the tools to get back on track. Thank you Margaret.”
- Susan C

“Margaret’s “Eat Naked” concepts took the angst out of my eating. Her common-sense, no-guilt philosophy of eating, the solid nutritional information, and delicious recipes gave me the information I need to eat well and maintain steady energy throughout the day. My body and emotions are calmer and steadier since learning to Eat Naked.”
- Connie L.

“Working with you has helped me to get through a tough transition from moderate California to the coldest winter in decades in the U.K. You have helped me return to my own instincts with regard to eating whole foods and the amounts necessary to sustain health. Thanks to your guidance I have greater confidence in my ability to eat well and maintain the energy levels I need for my very stressful job. I’ve also learned more about individual foods and supplements and the way they affect my body. I feel I’ve broadened my knowledge of, and generally become more conscious of, what I eat. This process has been very enjoyable and greatly increased my sense of well-being.”
- Sarah P. A.

“By nature I am suspect to things that come too easily. And when my wife suggested I speak to a nutritionist in one last effort to control my diverticulitis and avoid surgery – admittedly – I had already reached a point of defeat. But Margaret changed all that. And with a simple dietary plan customized to both my physiology and lifestyle. As a result, I’m not only incredibly grateful – I’m also still in one piece!”
- Rob Ingall

“Working with Margaret and “eating naked” has initiated a subtle but powerful shift in my (and my family’s) life. Discovering that healthy eating begins through kindness to oneself and mindfulness, and that it’s cultivated by feeding yourself healthy fats, whole foods, and tons of water has been a revelation! Margaret’s philosophy of adding more wonderfully nutrient-rich food that digest well instead of the approach one usually sees in the media (of depriving yourself and getting on a low calorie, low fat diet) has exposed me to a whole new way of nourishing myself. Since she also provides me with tons of recipes, handouts, and notes from our meetings, I have the tools to continue this lifestyle far in to the future.”
- Liz D.

“As a mother of a two year old I find unsolicited opinions on what’s best for my child are endless – especially when it comes to what she eats. But by working with Margaret I’ve seen a huge change in my daughter’s behavior just by cutting out unnecessary sugars in her diet. More importantly, Margaret has changed our family’s entire eating habits for the better by showing us ‘eating naked’ is really quite simple if the commitment is there to learn.”
- Tauna Ingall

“I never thought I could go two weeks without any sugar. Before I knew it, I was done and now I feel so much better! No more sugar cravings. No more carb crashes. I now have more energy than ever before. I even lost five pounds! Thanks, Margaret. You have helped me more than you know!”
- Kevin Collier

“What is in these supplements? I’m smiling like I’m in love! At this hour of the morning, that’s unheard of . . .
That was a text message I sent to Margaret just a few days after I had a nutritional consultation with her. I consider myself a fairly healthy individual, but had recently been injured in a car accident and prior to that had been experiencing an overall decrease in energy that did not seem right for someone who was 29 years old. When we worked together I was impressed with her ability to assess my nutritional needs by utilizing pressure points on my body, dialogue with me about my relationship to food, and also explain what was occurring in my system from a western standpoint. She was empathetic, warm, and sensible in her recommendations for me. I love that her approach does not include a commitment to a lifetime of supplements, but rather encourages slowly building in support from whole foods, while allowing the body to heal from a lifetime of nutritional and environmental abuse.”
- Mellissa Rudder
