“The rare scientific health and nutrition expert”
I was looking to improve my nutrition and overall health in a scientific way, and my experience with Dr. Sangal has been nothing short of extraordinary. First of all, her background in medicine, being an OB/GYN in the past, clearly shows as her knowledge for physical biology and how our activities the food we eat affect the neurobiology of our bodies is very enlightening. Second, she is the most knowledgeable person I have ever come across in the fields of health and nutrition. She knows what are the most nutritious foods for my body goals, what foods and activities should be combined for maximum benefit, etc. She is much more knowledgeable about these facts than any pure nutritionist expert trainer I have worked with. Third, she is incredibly empathetic ad understanding of my problems and goals. She immediately relates to my experiences and helps me form appropriate goals, develop a plan to execute and achieve those goals, and helps me understand why the plan itself works in scientific way that makes sense. After many frustrating experience with other trainers and doctors, Dr. Sangal is the only person that combines true scientific medical knowledge of the body with a personalized health and nutrition program that works and has great increased my energy level.
