What Clients Are Saying

I spent over an hour with Jill Borba and felt completely listened to, understood, and hopeful. I'm a sports/athletic fanatic with very little and very distorted knowledge on nutrition.  I was very honest with her and felt very comfortable about it, not at all judged.  I was confused, overwhelmed and even a bit scared - which is what led me to reach out. I felt stronger, more empowered when I left.  I was given suggestions and encouraged to do my best - no pressure at all.  She used visual aides and fact sheets so I didn't have to concern myself with remembering.  She clearly told me on the phone during our lengthy free initial consultation that she was not a sports nutritionist - but I went in anyway, and I am very happy and strongly recommend her!  The front desk staff were also super cheerful and warm.  It's just a great, warm place! It's not about losing weight or gaining weight - it's about understanding nutrition and understanding your body and being healthy.  I felt Jill was just as interested in my mental health as she was in my physical health.

“I love Jill! I've been seeing her for a few months now and I've learned so much! Not just about how food works but more importantly, how my body works and how I need to work with it. She is incredibly gentle in her approach and I appreciate realism she brings to her suggestions. And did I mention she is smart as hell! I learn something new each time we meet! She's NOT an uptight doctor that tells you what to do, she's NOT full of judgement, she's caring, knowledgeable and she has changed my life! I came into her office frustrated, worried but willing to make changes. I experienced compassion and information like never before. 8 months later, I've made lots of changes, need to make many more but most importantly, I feel great -Physically, Mentally and Emotionally!”

“All of us know "diet and exercise" works to help the body function and be at its best. We have been told this phrase for decades by doctors, the media, the US surgeon general, coaches....
The problem is that there is so much information and misinformation out there that it is almost impossible to make lasting changes in our lifestyle without the help of a professional who can cut through all the hype and help us understand the essentials.
Getting off some medications, losing weight, gaining energy, ending sugar addiction - there are many things that are possible - but in creating a new relationship with food we all need a trusted advisor, advocate, and supportive coach. Jill Borba is that person and professional.
As a medical professional I have sent dozens of patients to Jill for help with a variety of diet related issues and her approach and results almost seem like magic (although I know they are all based in the amazing healing properties of the human body). I am grateful to have her as a referral partner because she helps my patients feel their best (and makes me look good)!
Thank you Jill!”

“I started working with Jill after struggling to carry several pregnancies full-term. In the midst of learning how to grieve my experience and care for my toddler, a healthy diet was placed on the back burner....the far far far back burner. There are gobs of dietary and supplement recommendations out there for those of us experiencing fertility issues and after a couple years of putting forth my best effort, I just burned out. This is when I met Jill. Jill is a wonderfully attentive listener. She heard my struggles and created an approach that gently encouraged me incorporate healthy eating habits back into my life. She is a wonderful resource of information. I not only learned tons of information during my sessions with her, Jill also sent  me home with printouts and additional resources. I never felt judged by what I considered to be my failures, only supported and empowered. In my burned-out state, I really thought there was no hope for what my diet had reverted to. But it's just not true - there is always hope. It just may take the most special person to reflect that back to you. For me, that person was Jill. Thank you, Jill for being such an amazing resource to those of us who are  really struggling in all the various ways when it comes to diet and nourishment.”

“I am trying to get back on track with eating healthily and hopefully losing weight. Jill has has been able to adapt my treatment plan in ways that help me change my habits a little at a time, so that I can be successful, even though, at home, my kitchen and living spaces are being remodeled and I have only a microwave and a blender to work with. I've been discouraged for several years now, having had multiple surgeries and stress upon stress heaped on my head.  I think, with Jill's support and good ideas, I am finally moving in the right direction.  
P.S.  I'm gluten intolerant, so having a competent nutritionist's guidance is important to me.”

“I've struggled with low blood sugar all my life. With the help of Jill, I now have tools in my toolbox to feed my body foods that will keep my strength up.  
Jill does not punish, guilt, or berate her clients as many others in the nutrition industry tend to do.  She starts with having the client do a food journal for three days. You write down everything you put in my mouth.  When you meet with her, she uses her highlighter to point out where the hidden sugars are. Then she asks questions and makes you think.
I have made some life changes to what and when I eat. She has helped me be successful when eating out.  RULE #1: MORE VEGETABLES.”

“Jill changed my life. For more than 20 years (perhaps longer), I've had problems with food, stress, and irritability. Thinking that I was already on an excellent low-carb diet, I did not seek out a nutritionist during that time. I relied on exercise, supplements, yoga, breathing, etc. But it wasn't solving my problem. Jill solved it. She tailored a particular balance of protein, vegetables, fruit, and starch to suit my body, activity level, and needs. She advised me to eliminate certain foods and drinks and to change the number of meals I eat per day, snacking habits, etc. I followed her plan 100%.  And it worked. Two months later, I am far less irritable, I no longer stress-eat, I have lost weight and feel very light on my feet, I am mentally sharper, I sleep better, and my relationships are improved. I owe it all to Jill. I highly recommend Jill to design a highly tailored diet to meet your particular needs.  Many thanks Jill!”

“I went to Naturopathic Famiy Health and Jill Borba to help with my diet. I was having increasing asthma symptoms that I thought might be related to diet. Jill put me on a very balanced diet that included more vegetables and much less sugar, dairy and grains. This diet was not hard to get used to because you were always full. My only challenge was eating lots of vegetables for breakfast. That took a little getting used to.
The results have been spectacular. After being on the new diet for only a few weeks, my asthma symptoms literally disappeared! I have been on the diet now for 4 months and its become part of my life. I was hoping for improvement, but this was beyond my expectations. I also lost a few pounds, have fewer cravings and have more energy. I had regular appointments with Jill over the last four months and she made sure I stayed on track. She made sure I understood the diet and made tweaks based on my feedback. She did a great job!”

“For many years my doctor regularly monitored my blood sugar levels, which were indicating that I was pre-diabetic.  He never gave me any guidance as to the important role proper nutrition plays in diabetes prevention, nor did he suggest I see a dietician or do any kind of nutrition counseling.  Fortunately, a friend recommended I call Jill.  Within three weeks of beginning to work with her and following her advice, my blood sugar test was within the normal range.  Thank you, Jill, for saving my life!!”

“Jill is absolutely amazing. She completely changed my diet, daily life and overall health. I came to her for help with my IBS, that I had dealt with for over 15 yrs, which no Dr was ever able to help. But I'm excited to say that I have had no symptoms since coming to Jill. She taught me what to eat and so much about nutrition. And now I live a normal life and am so very thankful. I never knew how much diet impacts our lives, but now that I do I will never go back to my old ways.”
