Success Stories

I went to Andrea almost a year ago now with a cholesterol problem. With the changes we made to my diet as well as exercise, I was able to reduce my cholesterol by over one unit in only 3 months. Andrea is very positive minded, and helps you focus on what needs to be done to achieve your goal. At the same time you feel committed, not pressured, to do what it takes. Thank you very much Andrea.

~ Bjorn, age 31
