Testimonials:

 

"I came to a dietician as part of a goal to be the best “me” I can be, inside and out. I was fortunate enough to not only I find a dietician well-versed in her field, I found a fantastic listener and caring person in Cara.

 

I have always been interested in nutrition and found it difficult at times to discern the numerous theories and findings, sometime contradictory, that I heard through the media. Cara has helped lay the groundwork that will be useful to make the right nutrition decisions for the rest of my life.

 

Cara’s understanding of the subject is extensive and the way in which she relays the information to her clients is logical and clear, and with a great sense of humor.

 

Thanks, Cara, for guiding me to improved health that I will always carry with me!"

"I live in a rural town with limited choices in medical assistance. I am 50 years old, obese, have high cholesterol, higher glucose levels than desired and have a family history of diabetes and heart disease. After years of trying to improve my health with no results, I saw Cara’s ad and we met. Cara analyzed my personal system requirements, likes and dislikes of certain foods, my blood work results and nutrition and exercise requirements. The plan Cara created for me was very personally tailored to my needs. Since it all involves food I like to eat, even as picky as I am, I can stick with this plan without feeling like I am dieting. She has provided me with fun recipes and I am really enjoying learning to cook all over again. Even though I work full time and spend a great amount of time on the road commuting to work, Cara has found solutions that allow for the food preparation, meal planning and shopping to fit my schedule.

 

Cara is readily available to me if I have any questions in my plan and even took me on a grocery shopping trip to give me a hands on lesson on how to choose the best foods. The fact that she works together with Sarah my trainer is a huge bonus since Sarah is familiar with Cara’s methods and plans and vice versa. Cara’s background and training has provided a much higher level of expertise in this area than I have been able to find in the past.

 

I started my plan a few days before Thanksgiving and by the end of January I successfully lost 25 lbs and plan to reach my goal of 30 lbs. within 3 months of beginning my adventure. I have been able to accomplish this without taking any cholesterol medication and may soon be off of the glucose medicine.

 

With Cara’s help I have been able to put my mind and heart into this new life and as a result my body has followed the path. I feel so much better and have so much more energy and look forward to the rest of my weight melting off.

 

Thanks Cara for helping to change my life for the better! (If not saving it!).

"As a professional endurance mountain biker, I must put my body through trials and tribulations that it was not meant for. Not only do I have to be fit and properly trained for these undertakings, I have to have an adequate supply of energy in me and a sustained one at that. I must keep my muscles fueled and constantly recovering from the extreme stresses I am putting my body through or else my body and my results suffer. Nutrition Prescription and Cara Marrs have given me the extra edge I need – the knowledge and the plan of how to keep that gas tank that is me full. Cara has taught me what to eat and when so I don’t fall too deep into the pain cave. I know this for training, but more importantly, she has also developed a plan for me of how I do this for 24 straight hours. With her help, I feel more prepared, and actually am more prepared to take on my marathon events."

“Now, is it carbs before or after a run?  And then there's protein... what exactly does that do?  What fats and oils are good and which are bad?  How many calories should I be consuming in a day given my activity level and lifestyle?  I had so many nutritional questions and working with Cara has given me the nutritional structure and know-how that I am now implementing into my lifestyle.  I can actually customize my diet to achieve the individual results I am looking for.  If my goals are simply fitting into last years jeans or training for that long run, Cara provides the knowledge and direction that go into reaching your desired result.”

“As a longtime professional skier and sponsored athlete I know the importance of being properly fueled. The problem is, I usually just winged it and hoped stuffing my face with what I heard from buzzwords would do the trick - sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't. Let let me tell you, suffering from the infamous "bonk" in a race is not only physically painful, but mentally painful as well.

 

I finally decided to go to a nutritionist. A Registered Dietitan who knows the science behind the hype and can tailor programs to specific people for specific needs. I immediately noticed I was more fueled for racing and workouts and was able to recover more quickly and efficiently afterwards. I now know what I need to fuel myself during arduous and extended exercise to maintain performance. On the way to accomplishing my goal of becoming a professional mountain biker, Cara has taken me one huge step closer to accomplishing that goal. Thanks Cara!"
