Paleoista by Nell Stephenson

THIS WOMAN HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!! PALEOISTA FOR LIFE! She really deserves 100 stars!!!
I could go on and on for pages talking about how AMAZING Nell is and how dramatically she has changed and inspired me but I’ll do my best to keep it short and to the point.
I am very active, work out 4 – 6 times a week and considered myself pretty ‘healthy’ or so I thought. I always wanted to have that ‘shredded’ lean look but could never attain it. I struggled over the years with different diets and felt hopeless. I always wanted a nutritionist but always thought it would be too costly and too overwhelming to change my lifestyle and eating habits. Furthermore, just thinking about cutting things like sugar and carbs out of my diet seemed impossible… that all changed when I met Nell. With-​in the first 5 minutes of our meeting I WAS HOOKED! First off, you want your nutritionist to look the part and that she does! Shredded, Strong, Glowing and VIBRANT! She is so easy to talk to and really understands the struggles of the day to day challenges of following a balanced nutrition program. She breaks everything down about the paleo program into really simple and easy to follow terms and has so much information in her brain it’s absolutely amazing. Each meeting is like an exciting tutoring session. She makes herself available for any questions you have through out the day and does her best to respond very quickly. All the foods that she has me eat are absolutely delicious and has awesome tasty snack options. More importantly, I dont crave all the junk food I used to eat like pizza, pasta, cookies and ice cream. I can eat it if I want to but it’s just not as enticing as it used to be beacause of how I eat now. I made more progress with her guidance in 3 ½ weeks (with very little exercise) than I have in the past 4 years of dieting. She broke down some of the myths that I had heard about the paleo nutrition plan and shed light on so many aspects of nutrition and foods that cause inflammation. I have been telling everyone I know about her! In simplest terms if you want results CALL HER AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!! You will be amazed at how much your body can TRANSFORM!!!

I recently became interested in paleo/​ketogenic diets and wanted to find someone who could help me implement these diet principles into my routine. I signed up for a 3 month dietary plan which included unlimited access to her with any questions I had. Not only were the meals delicious but the results were even better. I ended up getting leaner, sleeping better and recovering much faster. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to step up there fitness or get into shape. She is very knowledgeable and responds promptly to all questions and concerns.

I highly recommend Nell if you have any interest in improving your health and overall well being. A few weeks ago, my family and I had the joy and pleasure of having Nell hold an in-​home cooking demo. She is very knowledgeable, fun, engaging, and a true master of the kitchen. We got started and were talking, and 10 amazing meals for 4 people were prepared in a short amount of time. Her tips for my pre & post workout nutrition have already improved fitness. Paleo is the way to go, and Nell is a true master and teacher of it. I will definitely utilize more of her services.

I’ve done many different forms of exercise (I was a dancer, I’ve done yoga for 15 years, etc.) and woring with Nell has been an extraordinary experience for me. Nell has helped me transform my body and my life in myriad ways.
Here are just a few reasons why I love her:
* She knows her stuff. Everything she teaches is grounded in a deep knowledge of the human body, what it needs to thrive, and how to improve/​optimize its performance. She knows all about physiology and nutrition, and she’s dedicated to staying current on research. I have an unusual set of health challenges, and Nell was able to address them skillfully. I imagine I know more than the average person about health/​nutrition/​exercise (I do a lot of research myself) and I deeply respect her opinion. I always learn something new when I see her, which is really fun.
* She’s inspiring. Nell is an exemplar. She’s an incredible athlete, and she lives the Paleo lifestyle. Her focus, drive and dedication to her own health and physical performance encourages me in my own process.
* She’s supportive. Nell recognizes the difference between pushing beyond a personal limit and overdoing it. (Good pain vs. bad pain). She encourages and supports me when I’m at an edge and want to give up. She’s also sensitive to the fact that I have injuries and so I can’t do certain things, and she works around that. She supports me in other areas of my life too. When I’m done with a session with Nell, I always feel better emotionally. Imagine that :)
* She’s fun to talk to. She’s an interesting person – smart, open-​minded, and passionate about what she does. I look forward to our sessions not just because I like working out, but also because I enjoy spending time with her.
I can’t recommend Nell highly enough. I imagine she could help just about anyone move to the next level of health/​fitness, and beyond.

If you’re serious about making progress towards your goals, then Nell is the trainer for you.
It doesn’t take living in the gym or hundreds of reps — Nell’s approach involves variety and well-​thought out exercises and methods that help you achieve better results .
As a regular gym-​goer, I had no idea that I could do so much more to maximize my results in a shorter workout and more targeted practices.
There’s no better time than right now to try.

I worked out with Nell for several years until she moved to California. She was a great teacher and motivational force in my aspiration to be a better runner as well as a healthier person.

Nell is the most disciplined person I know. Her straight forward approach doesn’t let you give up, or give in, when you have your goals clear. Her creative approaches to nutrition is outstanding. Nell is all out being that extra, in extraordinary! Really.
