“…while my Crohn’s, which was discovered in 2002, was in remission, I was still suffering from Crohn’s- like health issues. The medical specialist could not provide me with a diet. After tracking my diet for a week, Andrea suggested that I immediately make some specific dietary changes. Within two weeks, the Crohn’s-like health issues had disappeared and within a month, I was feeling the best I had felt in many years. Since starting to see Andrea, I have not had a major flare-up of Crohn’s. I now know that I must stay away from gluten for the rest of my life…I have been on a 3 year journey to change a life time of eating habits. While I still have much to accomplish, my health and well-being has improved significantly due to the professional advice and guidance provided by Andrea. Going to see her was one the best decisions I have made in a long time. “ S. J. Jamie Jamieson, CD
“I have seen, through a careful food plan and supplements worked out with Andrea, a reduction in my cholesterol, uric acid levels, and my triglycerides as well as improvements in my liver function. I have also been able to eliminate one of my medications (for GERD) and reduce another two of my medications for pain and inflammation… I finally have hope that I can be fully well again.” Wendy Saunders – Ottawa, ON
“…I have learned a lot from Andrea. I have learned how to adapt my routine so I can have healthier meals and a healthier life in general. I really appreciate all her evaluations, suggestions and advice…she is a great professional.” C. Gato – Ottawa, ON
“…I honestly can’t thank you enough for your advice. After seeing you it felt like the final piece of the previously ‘mysterious’ weight loss puzzle fell into place. (I realized) the one size fits all approach is not appropriate, and that is why I would highly recommend you to anyone. You took the time to talk to me and understand my goals…so thank you once again for everything.” Emily K. – Canberra, Australia
“Andrea Bartels is a top-flight nutritionist who has assisted me immeasurably in transforming myself from someone that was in danger of sliding into very serious health difficulties (stroke, heart attack, cancer) to a person that now is fully cognizant of the consequences and benefits of having a well-rounded diet. Retaining Andrea Bartels as a valued professional nutritionist is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, namely because the subsequent direct improvement in my health was both immediate and long lasting, positively impacting every facet of my life. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” Chris Alders – Ottawa, ON
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Andrea for all her help.These days so many people are discovering the benefits of nutritional counseling.

Thank you so much!”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrea Bartels in one-on-one nutritional counseling sessions geared to helping me improve my eating habits and kick-start my long-stalled weight-loss. Andrea was terrific: she was supportive and encouraging while providing sensible, realistic advice… All told, she helped me lose almost 30 pounds, but more important than the weight loss, Andrea has helped me to become more nutritionally informed and has assisted me in making real changes in the way I eat.”
Kim P. – Toronto, ON
“Andrea cared about me as an individual… she didn’t expect me to change overnight. I like her approach to helping people through the change.”
Crystal B. – Ottawa, ON
“I had accepted that walking might become more difficult; I could not do five minutes on the treadmill and my limping was quite noticeable… then Andrea suggested supplements and dietary changes that could reduce the inflammation and pain… as a result, today, I am still walking, running and hiking. I will again participate in the Scotia Waterfront 1/2 Marathon (walking) and am so much looking forward to doing so. Thank You Andrea!” Dee Mitchell – Toronto, ON
