“Choosing to take a leap of faith with Elise in a season of desperation was among the best decisions I have ever made. Doctors were absolutely no help for my symptoms, merely eager to dismiss my discomforts or write a prescription that I didn't even want. Elise made me feel heard, validated my symptom frustrations, and she empowered me with the right things to take control of my health and wellness so that I can live more comfortably.
I no longer sit with anxiety and worry about what is wrong with me that doctors are missing. With all of these things that Elise has guided me with, my anxiety has almost disappeared, I can easily just relax focus on enjoying my family and the balance between work and home life. So grateful to feel a million times better and carefree. Health is just a commonly overlooked blessing and I am grateful everyday for mine. If I ever have issues in the future Elise will absolutely be the first person I reach out to for guidance."

I have MS, so I ate a very clean/low inflammatory diet (or so I thought) before I got in touch with Elise, but my stomach was upset all the time. This is no longer an issue! Elise helped me understand what was going on in my body and I gained so much knowledge to take with me on my health journey. I'm so grateful for her expertise, I know I would still be struggling today if it weren't for her program. I will be honest, it's a lot of work, but if you want to feel better, it's worth it!!

“Elise has a way of educating the complexities of nutrition in a way that's digestible for any client! She is thorough and dedicated to helping you understand your individual needs. I've struggled with how I view food for years, but I am now comfortable with how to track, eating more intuitively, adjusting as I go, and not viewing food as bad. Through our work, I was able to help my hormones stabilize and reduce insulin crashes. Highly recommend Elise for anyone on the edge of seeing a nutritionist as she sets you up for success!

“I’m happy to have worked with Elise on my nutrition. My initial goal was simply to lose weight but by the end of our program my entire mindset shifted towards improving my health overall. After working with her I’ve learned about the importance of digestion and how it impacts the way I feel, how important sleep is to my health and fitness goals, and most importantly she shed some light on the different signals my body had been sending me for a long time that I was blind to.
got so many benefits from working with Elise that I can’t list them all. I’ll leave you with this, though. If you’re anything like me and you have a busy schedule it can seem impossible to eat healthy and do the things you already know you should be doing. Elise met me where I was and helped me develop strategies to fit eating healthy into my schedule. I am grateful to have her support.”

I found Elise to be knowledgeable, informative, and easy to talk to. Her approach to modifying my eating plan was individualized and practical. She met me where I was at, and we focused on improvements that would be easy to make and maintain, which have helped me long-term.

“Elise has been such a blessing over this past year! She really knows what she is talking about and has helped me so much. I felt I have always been knowledgeable on health and wellness but she has made me an expert now! Like I told her in the beginning, I wasn't worried about the number on the scale. I was concerned about how I feel every day when I wake up. Since working with her, I have been consistent with my bowel movements, don't have bloat anymore and feel amazing every morning I wake up! If you're questioning whether or not you should do this for yourself, DO IT! It's important to tackle your health concerns first and put your health first! I sure am happy I did! Thank you, Elise!

“Having Elise as my Nutritionist is one of the best things I did for myself in 2021. She helped me come to a great place with food, stress and exercise. She helped me remember that feeling healthy is the goal. Numbers on the scale are just numbers. I was so focused on hitting goal numbers I set for myself that I missed out on progress I was making and should be feeling great about. Truly would recommend to anyone and look forward to working with her again soon.”

“When I was 18 years old I was diagnosed with PCOS. I was told at the time that when I was older, it would be difficult for me to get pregnant and I would likely need meds to help me.
For the next 7 years I was on and off birth control and Metformin. I was struggling with my weight and infertility. I was depressed and anxious and I felt like my body was betraying me.
Fast forward to 2018. With the help of Elise, I went gluten free and completely changed my diet. Within weeks I got my period back for the first time in over a year. I began to ovulate which I’m not sure had ever happened. And within the year I was pregnant with my son.
During pregnancy, I slipped up. Although I stayed gluten free, I was eating junky, processed foods that I knew were not good for me. Postpartum I began to gain weight, I wasn’t getting periods and once again I was anxious and just not myself.
I reached out to my OBGYN. She did a full hormone panel and the results were devastating. Almost every single hormone level was abnormal. My doctor advised once again that I go on Metformin or birth control. But I didn’t want a band aid. I wanted to FIX the problem.
I reached out to Elise again. She set me up with a new diet. I was scared but ready. I drastically lowered my sugar and carbs and I upped my protein. I started exercising for 30 minutes a day. I really started taking care of my body. Elise held me accountable. She encouraged me on the hard days and praised me on the good ones. She gave me the motivation I needed to make this huge lifestyle change.
That was a month ago. Since that talk, I have lost 10 pounds. My energy levels are up, my mood is better, I’m sleeping like a baby and I am finally starting to feel like myself again. I went in for my physical this past week and we repeated that same blood panel and EVERY SINGLE LEVEL came back NORMAL! My cycle came back and once again I started ovulating.
Elise’s help has changed my life not just once, but twice now. I could never thank her enough for the impact she’s had on my family. Forever grateful for her knowledge and kindness. Thank you Elise for standing beside me for every step of this journey.”

Elise is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Her protocols always not only included what to do but why to do it. I immediately felt better when I began to follow her recommendations. I would highly recommend her to a friend and family member.
— Elizabeth R.
“Elise changed my life. I was eating so healthy and didn’t understand why I had so many issues. Bloating, gas, constipation…all things no one wants to deal with. Being the person I am, I started ordering supplement after supplement to try and fix the issues myself. Nothing was working. I was uncomfortable and constantly thinking about what I could eat to not upset my stomach. After 3 months working with Elise, I can finally say I don’t have these issues anymore!
She is super knowledgeable and everything has a “why.” The information sent over after our sessions is in great detail with suggestions of things spoken about during the time we spoke. She is conscious of boundaries and never forced any changes to be made. Everything was left up to me with no judgement.
I speak so highly of her when discussing my situation with friends and family. I feel more knowledgeable about products, supplements, macronutrients, and life in general. I am so glad I came across Nutritional Foundations and will never be able to thank her enough!”
-Leah F.
"Since starting nutritional therapy with Elise, I'm eating healthier food AND more of it to keep my energy levels up
throughout the day -- which I didn't know I needed. I've also been replacing electrolytes in my water and realized this was a good choice for my energy and stress. Elise has helped me focus on making the "transitions" in my day a more calming
experience to lower my stress, as well as improving my sleep with the right essential oils and meditation. One of my
biggest issues is digestion problems and heartburn, and the supplements she recommended have helped that out a lot. She is good at what she does, and is always very professional, delivering the best care for me."

“After years, actually more like decades, being on Omeprazole for acid reflux I decided to reach out to Elise. This medication is a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) that has been linked to concerning side effects after long-term use. These include risk of fractures, vitamin deficiencies and chronic kidney disease.
Some of my acid reflux symptoms were not typical but Elise knew immediately that these were indeed associated with acid reflux and the long-term use of a PPI. She started me on a regimen of several supplements. Stopping the Omeprazole was very important to me as I felt this was a medication that was causing more harm than good. I was able to slowly wean off the PPI.
In addition, due to having other chronic health conditions, she helped me address detoxification protocols, food sensitivities, and sluggish digestive/bowel issues. My digestive issues have greatly improved, as well as my overall health concerns. Everyone says that health and immunity begin in the gut — I couldn't agree more!
She is very knowledgeable about food swaps and provided great tips and tricks to help with my various autoimmune issues. Her expertise regarding what supplements will work for symptoms/issues has been extremely helpful. I have been very pleased with Elise's professional advice and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone dealing with chronic health issues, especially digestive concerns. She has been very supportive, never judges, and always encourages me to continue on my health journey.”
—Kathy F.
“My experience with Elise has been amazing! The paperwork gave her a perfect picture of my digestive issues and she was able to curate a specific plan designed for my needs. She provided me information about digestive enzymes and they worked perfectly! Anytime I have a question or concern she is there to walk me through it. Recently she knew I needed a change in my plan due to life complications and stress, and she was able to find time to meet quickly to make sure I could stay on track. I have really enjoyed working with Elise and I am looking forward to continuing my journey to health with her!”
— Lisa P.
“I've always struggled with the idea of what "healthy" meant. What I didn't realize was that being healthy is much more than following the "top 5 things to lose weight". Elise continues to educate me on the unique ways I can connect with myself, whether physically or emotionally, through nutrition, environment, activity and self-care. A "top 5" list is always appealing, but is never sustainable. I was overwhelmed by the journey to true health and Elise helped carve out a step-wise, fun journey I could truly believe in. We started with a functional evaluation that identified stress as a main contributor and confirmed a specific supplement to manage my symptoms. This supplement helped me gain enough energy and balance in the short term to get myself on a sustainable track.
Through her expertise I have had an 80% reduction in anxiety episodes, identified and eliminated the cause of my daily joint pain, halted weight gain for over 9 months and finally sleep through the night. Elise carries herself and her business with extreme amounts of knowledge, integrity and creativity but most importantly is in this business to help YOU. There is nothing more rewarding than finding genuine professional help tailored to your needs. Elise with Nutritional Foundations is the key to sustaining a life where you can finally be your best self.”
— Katie K.
“Although I admit that I was a bit skeptical at first, the process that Elise took me through convinced me this was the right way to go. The diagnostic process was very thorough, and Elise’s explanations and recommendations made total sense to me. In a very short time, I realized that following Elise’s recommendations has helped to solve my inability to fall asleep and stay asleep. I feel so much better and invigorated every day after a good night's sleep. It sounds like a little thing, but it has made a very positive difference in my life.”
— Tim D.
“Working with Elise has really changed the way I look at food and exercise. She is patient, encouraging, and never suggested diets, just small lifestyle changes. Through Nutritional Therapy I was able to pinpoint foods that were causing digestive problems to which Elise provided manageable alternatives and through the Functional Exam we were able to find supplements that have helped my digestion, stomach discomfort, and bloating.”
