I loved working with Tracy! I had major GI issues, including nausea that I could not get rid of and had no idea what was causing it! My doctor had minimal suggestions. Tracy helped me figure out the cause and worked with me to eat better for you issues. She is very knowledgeable as well as professional and caring!

Absolutely love Tracy Owens. After (2) visits with Tracy, Donald's A1C came down tremendously over the last several months. After having an A1C of 11.0 in late March, it came down to 6.5 on 6/27 & he maintained his levels for the next (3) months & it was 6.6 on 10/26. After the couple of visits with Tracy, he made drastic changes & the results show proof. Thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge & I will try my best to keep him on track.

She helped me determine my source of tiredness as low iron (ferritin) and directed me on the best types of vitamins to take to help. Additionally she advised me on proper fueling and hydration for marathon training and racing. We worked on my fueling for recovery as well. Tracy is also great at knowing how to communicate with female
