Introduction: I work from a functional nutrition standpoint which means I look at the whole body as one synergistic functioning system. When there are imbalances in one area it effects all others. I look for and fix those imbalances. I give serious attention to detail and really care about my clients & their progress. Clients lose the bloating, gas, fatigue, brain fog, weight, & many nagging symptoms. I don't guess at this, I use real diagnostic testing that identifies problematic foods or identifies metabolic deficiencies. I then construct appropriate dietary therapy to correct the imbalances or toxic overload. Also provide recipes, meal plans, support and lifestyle change education to assist with emotional aspect of eating. Provide culinary and cooking instruction so you learn how food is your medicine, nourishment and sustenance. Eat to live healthfully! Helping people to get well, and seeing them elated about the outcome. Helping people learn how important nutrition is to every cell in your body and that it effects everything-how you feel, how you age, how you perform and how you avoid illness. Nutrition goes way beyond "diet".

As a vegetarian (working toward a vegan) and eating lots of leafy greens, whole grains and other healthy foods, and exercising, I was surprised when I began feeling poorly. I was miserable, suffering from bloating, headaches, and overall just feeling awful. My regular doctor was no help, nor was the GI specialist he sent me to--both just wanted to prescribe drugs. I suspected it had something to with the food I was eating, but didn't know where to turn for help. I did some research and am so thankful I found Donna Wolfe. After reading her qualifications I knew she was someone who could help me. At our first appointment she spent over 90 minutes with me, asking questions about my symptoms and listening to my answers (such a change from my primary care doctor). She did the MRT test and when I went back to hear my results, she again spent quite a bit of time with me, explaining everything and patiently answering my questions. It was a lot of information to take in all at once! As I had questions between appointments, Donna answered my emails promptly. Having her available gave me confidence to make the dietary and lifestyle changes she recommended. Within two weeks of beginning the LEAP protocol, I began feeling better, and now most of my symptoms are gone. I have more energy and am running more often, which is a huge bonus for me. I have learned so much about nutrition and how the foods we eat and products we use impact all aspects of our health. I am so thankful that I took the step to contact Donna. It really has changed my life.

When I first met with Donna, I was dealing with increasing weight. I was so happy when the LEAP program helped me steadily lose weight and my anxiety and gastritis improved. I would recommend allowing plenty of time for your appointments as Donna is very thorough and has a lot of wisdom to share. I have since recommended Donna to my personal trainer because she was impressed with my results.

I came to Donna with a myriad of health problems- IBS, eczema, brain fog. I also suffer from EBV and MCAS. Donna was incredibly thorough during our initial meeting and she took the time to research ALL my lab work. Her recommendation was to do some testing for food sensitivities and put me on the LEAP protocol. She was honest with how the program works and the challenges it entails. Donna was so patient with me during the entire process. Each meeting I was met with a patient and caring doctor. I never felt rushed. She listens and takes meticulous notes, helps you meal plan and makes sure you understand what is expected for each phase. I am 7 months into the program and have had remarkable results. No more IBS or rashes! I'm so grateful for Donna and her expertise. Look no further! You will be in excellent hands with Donna.

Coming to see Donna was one of the best decisions I could have made for my health. I have had stomach problems since I was very little and have gotten very little guidance that has helped. I have had nearly every test done to figure out what was causing my stomach problems and nothing ever came back. I was always told I just had a weird version of IBS and to move on. Fed up, I decided to try seeing a nutritionist and found Donna. Donna uses the LEAP protocol for her patients with potential food allergies/intolerances. I will be honest here, it is not a fun process. You need to be committed to figuring out your food problems for this to work. But if you stick with it, it is so worth it. I strictly followed the protocol for over 4 months and I have learned so much. Some things I already knew (wheat is a problem) but others I didn't. For instance, gluten grains (such as spelt, which I was using as a wheat substitute) make me sleepy. Also, rice seems to upset my stomach, which is in pretty much every gluten free item out there. I never would have found these (and other) things out if I had not followed the protocol. Donna helped me through this every step of the way. She was always available by email or phone and she never made me feel rushed at appointments. She will take the time you need during her meetings with you, even if that means a 2 hour meeting. She tries to make sure you have all of the resources you need to make this process easier and is always there with a supportive word. Now that I have gone through the protocol, we are working on healthy eating habits to carry forward. I cannot recommend her enough.

I first met with Donna over a year ago. I have struggled with IBS for many years, and was going through a time where nothing I ate seemed to agree with me. I was feeling very low and frustrated. From the initial phone call, to the assessment & LEAP protocol I undertook to address food sensitivity and inflammation, to the supplements to restore my gut balance, Donna has been there to support me step by step. I finally feel like I have the tools to address my IBS holistically. I would definitely recommend Donna to anyone suffering from IBS, who wants to better understand how to address it through nutrition and stress management!
