"Lila is a phenomenal dietician who completely transformed my approach to nutrition and well-being. From the initial consultation to the ongoing support, every aspect of my experience was exceptional. I did the DNA testing with her as well and she guided me through everything step by step.
From the outset, Lila exhibited a deep understanding of nutritional science, tailoring a personalized plan that took into account my specific health goals, dietary preferences, and lifestyle. The level of expertise demonstrated was not only impressive but also incredibly reassuring. It was evident that she wasn't offering a one-size-fits-all solution but rather a customized roadmap to achieve my individual objectives. What sets Lila apart is her holistic approach to health. Instead of focusing solely on calorie counting or restrictive diets, the emphasis was on cultivating a sustainable and balanced lifestyle. I thoroughly looked forward to the bi-weekly check-ins as she would provide valuable insights into the importance of mindful eating, the role of different food groups, and how to make informed choices that align with my goals. One of the most commendable aspects of working with Lila was the emphasis on education. I not only received a personalized meal plan but also gained a deeper understanding of nutrition and its impact on my overall well-being. She provided me with multiple options of meals, take out options, healthy snacks (and where to buy them) as well as options from Uber Eats. My experience has been nothing short of transformative. If you're seeking a professional who combines expertise with a personalized approach and a genuine commitment to your success, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Lila to anyone on a journey to better health and well-being." - Yashiren "For years, I have trained 6 days a week without any real results prior to consulting with Lila. In 8 weeks with Lila, my muscle mass increased by 2kg and fat reduced by 3.3kg (or 9% body fat). Lila’s program is simple and easy to follow. It is “busy life proof” and can even be followed while dining out. I can honestly recommend Lila for any nutritional assistance."
