Sedona True Nutrition - Sedona, Arizona

Excellent! With Chris’ advice and support I have experienced major improvements in my health and well being. I am 69 years old. After being diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease I headed to the internet to begin my transition to a Vegan diet. Although some information was useful, other information was confusing and inaccurate. I was lost. Chris designed and with her support I implemented a dietary and nutritional strategy that works. Long term benefits included a return to normal blood pressure, return to normal blood sugar and a return to normal cholesterol. Short term benefits include “feeling great”, as if a fog has been lifted from my mind. And perhaps the best benefit: no longer having fear that I will become critically ill. Two truths: Chris’ fees are quite reasonable and worth every penny, Number 2 It is never to late to change. Highly recommend!

What a gem right here in Sedona! Having recently moved back up I was interested in improving my health and True Nutrition and Chris are now part of my new health care plan! Chris is so very knowledgeable, kind, creative, generous and just an all round amazing human! Taking her course on Plating with Vegetables provided me with numerous ideas, new knowledge, gentle reminders and a supportive tribe! Cannot recommend Chris and True Nutrition enough! I look forward to many more learning and sharing experiences and opportunities!

I have just completed 2 series of Chris' classes - Digestive Wellness and Building The Balanced Plate. Chris' knowledge, leadership, encouragement and compassion start all the classes on a positive note. I am now so much more aware of my relationship with food and how it effects my health and day to day living. The classes are intimate, supportive and fun. After the very first class I was able to acknowledge something I was struggling with for years. After the 2nd class I have made so many simple changes - all with ease and positive results. Chris keeps it simple and is a constant support. My pantry has never looked more inviting! I strongly recommend Chris and am already looking forward to the next series of classes.

As an “active senior” who enjoys endurance mountain biking; until a year ago I thought my wife’s interest in whole food plant based nutrition was a bit too much for me. Then I had an angina episode that led to me getting a few coronary stents placed last May. That showed me I couldn’t out ride my family history of coronary artery disease. Plus my A1c was trending up for the first time.
So I joined my wife in a different approach to nutrition with a focus on heart health and supporting my athletic endeavors. I’ve seen dramatic improvements in my cholesterol, my A1c is slowly decreasing, and I have a year-round sustainable, healthy approach to eating.
I had tapped into Chris’s resources before she started Sedona True Nutrition, and went through an initial wellness consultation with her recently. She combines listening with informed/practical knowledge and with good resources that allowed her to understand my goals and questions and provide me with a great road map of steps I can take in my health journey. Those steps include topics to bring up with my cardiologist, practical cooking strategies, and nutrition advice related to my biking.
The help I got was a great value!

Chris is just the best! She knows her stuff and has helped me immensely on my journey to wellness. She is a wealth of knowledge and for the first time in forever I know how to feed and care for my body.

I had come a long way from my southern-cooking roots, but still needed to better understand the nuts and bolts of healthier eating to achieve the best health results for me and my family. I found the "wealth" of information out there, from the internet to books to athletic trainers to medical doctors and registered dietitians to be overwhelming and confusing; it all left me feeling defeated and unmotivated. Chris met me where I was, and at the same time as providing education, provided helpful tips, easy-to-make recipes, and encouragement to take small steps that enabled me to be successful. With her ongoing help, a series of small steps over time has led to significant change in daily practice and long-term health results, bringing me to a place of feeling hopeful and confident about my health. Chris's personal journey to find health through nutrition & lifestyle changes enhances her natural bent to empathetic and careful listening; her commitment to educating herself ensures she brings an exceptional level of expertise to bear on helping her clients achieve their health goals. In short, Chris does not disappoint! You owe it to yourself and your health to reach out and see what she has to offer you!

As a healthcare professional, I am often skeptical of health or nutritional counseling from so-called experts on the web. Chris offers a welcome exception to my skepticism. She provides accurate and logical advice in a friendly and tactful manner. She practices what she preaches and is generous with her time.

Longterm lifestyle changes require dedication and commitment. Chris understands and accepts that no one is perfect. Her innate kindness would never allow her to berate or shame someone because of an occasional backslide. Her approach is workable whether your aim is weight management, lifestyle improvement or cooking demonstrations.

The majority of physicians know next to nothing about nutrition. My med school curriculum offered about two boring hours. Chris offers a welcome and much-needed service, whether in person or online. I wholeheartedly recommend her programs.

I truly enjoy knowing Chris Kalinich. As a coach to our online class for health she encourages each person to feel safe and important as we share our experiences in learning to develop healthy habits. When she coaches or leads a class in cooking on the
Lunch and Learn on HWVitality, I find that when she teaches the cooking classes I understand what she is guiding us to do. I have trouble transitioning into eating a HFPB diet. I have watched many how to videos by many different people, I enjoy learning, however i do not feel confident to follow through with what each person is teaching. I feel confused and it is vague as to what I need to do.
Yet when I watch Chris lead us in a cooking class, I understand what she is showing us. She teaches in such a way I feel empowered to go forward and actually cook those recipes and have done so, making it possible to incorporate them into a daily lifestyle. I am excited that Chris is expanding her business. I believe she will be able to touch and improves many lives. Thank you for this opportunity to say thank you to Chris. Linda Barnes
