testimonials
"I have been taking cooking classes at Inspire Nutrition for the last two years and absolutely love it. Christina instructs with boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm. When I was diagnosed with cancer last year, I sought Christina's expert advice on nutrition. She has provided me with guidance on cooking low-fat meals that not only work for me, but my whole family enjoys! I am now cancer-free and living a healthy lifestyle. "
- jessica cogan
"Christina started our culinary journey with a fascinating tour of Whole Foods Market with detailed instruction on the benefits of making (no pun intended) whole food choices. Because of her sweet and sunny personality, my 12 weeks of classes were great fun. Her instructions were simple and we made wonderful, delicious recipes for a healthy life style change. Included in the classes is beneficial information on where, how and why to shop and eat healthy. With her amazing knowledge of the nutritional values and benefits of healthy food choices she easily converted me to a believer. I’ve been cooking healthy every since. I’d have to give her 4 STARS!"
- lynn arnaiz
"I signed up for cooking classes with Christina because my eating habits were in a total rut – I was dining out all the time, preparing the same meals over and over and skipping meals. The recipes and tips I learned were so practical and delicious! I’m buying vegetables I’ve never bought before and am feeling so much healthier. Kale salad is my new favorite!"
- trisha clauson
“The thing I like best about the six month program is the reinforcement. My health counselor understands that it’s not easy to make the right health choices so the constant reinforcement really helps me stay on track.”
- james huning, ph.d.
"I'm feeling good since we last met. I've been cooking more - just thinking more about what to make, what I have in the house, how I can get it started early enough . I've also been better about exercising. It all feels really good. Thanks again for helping get my mind, body, and spirt back on track!"
- kimberly forrester
"The tour of Whole Foods really opened my eyes. I learned about new foods that I would not have tried unless they had been pointed out to me. I had questions answered about foods that I had been wondering about and my health counselor helped me identify some quick, healthy meals that I can buy when I get busy."
- jacob carter
“The cooking class I attended not only showed me how to cook quick, delicious, healthy dishes, it also provided great information on which type of fish to purchase and the overall health benefits of fish.”
- kristin sherwood
"Thanks Inspire Nutrition™ for expanding my world of nutrition and introducing new and exciting ways to live healthy!!"
