Testimonials
“I am a Certified Diabetes Educator and I have worked with other dietitians before. I was not successful, I never lost any weight. I was hesitant to work with Dana.
I was struggling with my weight, PCOS, low blood sugar, constipation and cold intolerance. I did not know changing my diet could help my PCOS.
I appreciated the positive encouragement, recipes and working through problems. I lost my Dad one month after starting with Dana. My normal coping habits wanted me to give up, Dana did not let me. She gave me time and support through one of the most difficult situations of my life.
I have lost 54 pounds and a lot of inches. I feel so much better. More energy. Thyroid labs have improved and fewer low blood sugars.
I would recommend Dana to anyone wanting to reach their health goals and become healthier!”

“Before working with Dana, I struggled with accountability.
I needed to be able to talk about ways to improve my health and help me understand. I was not getting enough protein. I looked forward to our visits because I knew she genuinely cared about ME and my health and my goals. She is a great listener and just “got me.’ She challenged me to question my beliefs about myself and goals. I have learned to prioritize my rest, sleep and protein. I was successful with weight loss after understanding how important tracking (even if for a short time) really is. I would recommend to any woman (or man!) who struggles with follow through and accountability on their health goals.”

“I was hesitant to begin this program as I questioned my commitment to following through.
I struggled to understand nutrition. Dana met me right where I was at and was always available to pep talks or quick questions. I now understand how to read food labels and have awareness of how much sugar I was putting into my body. The only thing she could have done differently is to cook for me!”

“Before I started working with Dana, my biggest hesitation was my fear of failing. Again.
I know it was going to be hard taking an honest look at my life and being open to talking about it. I struggled with processed food and pop. I rewarded myself and tried to heal my hurt with food. I was completely addicted to sugar.
After our first session, Dana made me feel like she really understood my struggles and she truly cared. I appreciated how she shared some of her struggles and had great suggestions to offer.
The openness and honesty without judgement even when I felt like I was failing, was really appreciated. I was able to ask questions, or repeat them without ever feeling bad for doing so. Being able to text for support was helpful.
I have lost weight, joint pain and aches. I feel so much better about myself.
I recommend Dana to anybody struggling with diabetes, weight loss or just wants to feel better. Do not be afraid to sit down and ask Dana for help.
Dana truly cares about her clients and is there when you need her. She will not judge you and will be your biggest cheerleader.”

“I am very happy to strongly recommend Dana Cushing Health. The holistic approach took into account all of my unique challenges-busy work/family, some physical limitations, and most importantly, my psychological challenges when it comes to my health.
I have learned so much about looking for better, quality/safe foods and now I read food labels without even thinking about it. The positive support was huge for me when things were going slow, or certain interventions just did not seem to work. Dana always had another option or way to think about things that kept me from giving up. I feel her natural but realistic approach has made me a much healthier person.”
