Client Testimonials

Where I learned that GF cooking could be balanced and outstanding.

When I was developing all of my thoughts, slides, presentations and programs around a gluten-free lifestyle, it was the Vitality Cooking of Lisa Stimmer that kept me fueled and my brain humming – feeling like a muscle car ready for action. I have sent many patients to Lisa over the years. Every single one learned more than they would have hoped for. And the vast majority achieved the results of lowering cholesterol, losing weight, increasing energy… whatever their needs were.

Nothing works for everyone. Usually, you have to like the person you’re working with to hear the message. Lisa’s success rate in her clients implementing her recommendations is the highest of anyone I know. You will not go wrong by reading her book, following her tapes, and implementing what she recommends.

Stacie Oste, Training Manager at Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP

I have known Lisa for 15 years both as a nutritionist and friend. Professionally I have the utmost respect for her. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable in the field of nutrition but also brings a very personable relationship to her clients. She makes them feel as if they’re not alone with their struggles. She supports and mentors them through some very difficult challenges and choices. I have referred several of my patients to her for consultation and everyone I have referred have been very happy with their results. Lisa is not only a nutritionist but also a chef. I have been on the receiving end of some her cooking and not only is it healthy but also delicious. She is very talented in her field and I would continue to recommend her. When she moved, it was definitely Chicago’s loss and your gain!

Don Harris, Health Professional, Integrative Medicine & Nutrition
Knowledge is power. I was avoiding unhealthy foods–processed meats, refined sugar, fatty snacks—but still had too much body fat and felt sluggish. Lisa taught me how foods interact with one another; that there should be a balance of carbohydrates, fats and proteins to maximize their benefits. Without giving up the foods I loved, I was able to balance them in my diet which changed the way my body processed them. My metabolism actually changed. I now had the energy to exercise regularly and not only lost 23 pounds of fat but also added muscle. I have the vitality of a man 20 years younger, which has affected every part of my life, from the boardroom to the bedroom.

Leigh Hawkins, Exercise Physiologist at Certified Fitness Systems

Our results have been remarkable. My son has never looked or felt better. Before going on Lisa’s Vitality Diet program he suffered one or two migraine headaches a week (some so severe he would throw-up). As for myself I have more energy and feel better than I have ever felt. I have lost 12 pounds and find that I am sleeping better and am more mentally alert during the day. These results speak for themselves and without Lisa‘s enthusiasm and guidance; we would not have been able to do it.

Bob Duprez, C-Level Executive for Middle Market Companies
Michael (13), Patrick (16) and I went on Lisa’s Vitality Diet program and here we are one year later …. both boys now understand their food intolerances and have embraced a whole new way of eating. Not only are the meals balanced and taste WONDERFUL! Better yet, they are QUICK and EASY!
My ex-wife has fully embraced the boy’s new diet because she has witnessed wonderful changes in both Michael and Patrick. Both of the boys are doing exceptionally well in school and it’s made a huge difference in their ability to concentrate and use their minds. As for me… I have more energy and vitality than I ever thought possible.
