I highly recommend Azi for sports nutrition counseling. As a Division I athlete, I struggled with getting proper nutrition for my rigorous workout schedule and to ensure recovery. Azi helped me get back to a healthy racing weight and to develop habits to ensure my health throughout three grueling seasons- cross country, and indoor and outdoor track and field.
My husband and I have both been for nutritional counseling. I have an elevated A1C and my husband just wants to improve his health with weight loss. She is incredibly thorough and tested our metabolic rate and explained our challenges and how best to improve our health with better eating habits. After our first visit, I lost 10+ lbs, as did my husband. We recently saw her again for a "nutritional boost" and again I am down another 6 lbs. She has helped us to change our eating patterns and to dismiss some old myths about fat free and sugar free. We both feel better and I am actually looking forward to my next A1C test. She spent a lot of time with us, explained everything to us and it readily available to answer questions via email or text. We live in AZ but feel she is worth the cross country trip.
The best investment that my husband and i have made. She is a professional who makes you feel like her best friend. Thank you for such a great session today!! We learned so much from you and look forward to our next. Thanks to our Doctor for referring us to Azi!! The best nutritionist that we have ever seen (and we have been to many)Azi may not take our insurance but she is priceless and an asset to our long term Health!
I have been working with Azi for the past three years. Throughout our time together, she has helped me learn so much about the various forms of sugar and how it affects my blood sugar and A1C. The changes she has helped me make are long lasting, and I am so grateful for her services.
I have been working with Azi for almost 2 years now and the results are amazing. I am a diabetic and since working with her my health has drastically improved. I have more energy and feel so much healthier. I would recommend her for anyone that is looking for better health and especially if you have diabetes
Azi is amazing and she is teaching me about my metabolism and how to understand how the right food can work at its best. She is changing the way I think about food. Her patience and wonderful supportive attitude has kept me going. She never judges me and she is always there if I have a question or concern. She gets back to me immediately. It is rare to find a health care professional that is so dedicated, kind and smart and willing to take the time to answer all my questions, and address all my concerns. I highly recommend Azi to anyone who is interested in improving their health.
Azi is fantastic!!! She takes her time to work with her patients. She carefully explains the nuances needed to work with & maintain a diabetic lifestyle. She makes herself available for questions -- and she reaches out to see how things are progressing. It is immediately evident that she is an expert in her field and understands the many variables associated with diabetes. Azi is engaging, personable, warm and caring. She carefully tailors a diabetic program to work with an individual's lifestyle. I would highly recommend her to any individual/family who needs to understand the disease & the impacts of diet on its successful management.
Where do I begin? I have always been on top of my health being that I am a healthcare provider. High Blood pressure, hypothyroidism and Hashimotos have entered my world because of genetics. I knew that soon my cholesterol would rise and diabetes would be right behind it. As predicted, the diabetes had arrived! I refused medication and asked my doctor to give me 3 months to redeem myself. I was very fortunate to be referred to Azi, my miracle worker. Once she heard about what brought me to her, she created a nutritional meal plan just for me and said if I ate what she told me to eat, my numbers would decrease and I would lose weight . I was committed to this life style change. I bought and ate everything how she recommended and in 3 months I lost 15lbs, my A1C dropped considerably so I was out of the pre diabetes zone , and my cholesterol decreased 70 points and my thyroid medication was reduced. No medication for diabetes! What a gift! My doctor, Azi and I were amazed! I could not have had these fabulous results without Azi. She was there for me every step of the way by phone and text in addition to my appointments. There's a formula to a healthier lifestyle and it is called Azi!
I came to Azi after several unsuccessful attempts to lose weight as means to get my glucose level in place. I have to admit that I was skeptical at the beginning: with plethora of information on nutrition available online - who needs a nutritionist these days? Well, I was wrong. Azi leverages evidence based research and practical insight in developing a customized nutrition plan. It's been two month since I started with her: I have lost 10 lbs and on track to my total 20 lbs goal. I feel GREAT - I am now hungry at breakfast, but not at night, don't feel deprived of anything, no annoying calorie counting, have a super easy guidelines to follow. Whether you are looking to lose a few lbs or get your Diabetes under control - see Azi; you will not regret.
Azi is one of a kind ,she goes the extra mile for you. Never do I feel rushed, put off or just another number to her. She recommends and develops plans according to each situation pressented to her Plain and simple, contact her if you need nutritional advice.
