“Nancee Jaffe was a blessing in my life at the right time. I thought I had a food allergy, but Nancee quickly had me make an appointment to see an Allergy Specialist to get to the root cause of the gastrointestinal issues/rashes. I was not allergic to a specific food, but found out I react to foods high in histamine. Nancee helped me with proper foods to eat as well as foods to avoid. I have made changes in my diet, eating much healthier and now feeling much better! Thank you Nancee!” - V.H.

I highly recommend her.” - W.S.

How do I shop and prepare meals? How do I make this pleasurable and less stressful? What new products are here? Nancee has pushed these answers forward with science and medicine-based ideas, introducing me to new foods and supplements to treat micro-nutrient deficiencies and discomfort.

Knowledge and expertise to provide nutritional guidance to support my gut health. 3. Availability for questions and suggestions to maintain a healthy gut lifestyle going forward. I appreciate Maddie’s skill set to make a difficult time a lot easier. Thank you Maddie!” – A.D.
“Whether helping me navigate the confusing and overwhelming initial stages of an autoimmune disease or just giving me insight on day to day nutritional information, I could not speak more highly about my experience working with Nancee. On each of our sessions, she has provided insightful and straightforward explanations of what is happening in my body and then used her extensive digestive knowledge to identify things that would help me to feel better. I can’t recommend Nancee enough!” - M.M.
“I was living on a very strict diet that was almost impossible to follow. I had almost given up on enjoying food. With Maddie’s knowledge, reassurance, and patience, I was able to transition into a completely healthy, tenable, and thoroughly enjoyable way of eating again. I can say with all honestly that I am much happier and my life is better since working with her.” – S.C.
