Client Testimonials
Working with Candice over the past six months has been a truly enlightening experience. Without this program, I would have never realized the importance of the gut-mind-health connection and what a difference it makes overall when both are in sync. I felt super heard, supported, and understood. Hearing her personal stories was comforting and I knew she could relate to some of my similar issues and feelings. I appreciated how she was very responsive, explained things to me in a way I could understand, and didn't make me feel silly even if I asked rather basic questions. The whole experience was very validating and positive — I learned so much regarding nutrition and how it effects me, specifically, so I can continue living this healthier lifestyle for the long-run
— Sidney K. Morristown, NJ
Thank you so much for everything! I feel more confident in the knowledge I have of myself and my skin looks and feels so much better! My skin has become less puffy and less inflamed which was one of my biggest concerns!
— Natalie Q. San Diego, CA
For the past six months I have worked closely with Candice to help solve gut issues, blood sugar disregulation and acne. At the start of working with her I had extreme constipation, poor sleep, crazy blood sugar spikes, and bloating. Through doing stool tests and nutritional assessments, Candice was able to create a plan for me that was catered towards my issues. I had worked with many practitioners in the prior years, and none were as attentive to my issues than Candice. She is very hands on and constantly communicating. I also liked that she has gone through a lot of the same gut issues as me so she understood how frustrating the healing process can be.
Candice, she knows her stuff and is better than most doctors I have worked with that were unable to heal my gut issues. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend if you struggle with any gut / acne issues, to go to her!
— Kelly S. Aliso Viejo, CA
I've said it once, and I will say it again: "Working with Candice is a short-term investment for long-term education on your body and your health!” I have never been healthier or happier. Thank you so much for everything!
— Alyssa F. Charlotte, NC
I began struggling with indigestion and bloating after having my first child. Fast forward a few months of being on an elimination diet while breastfeeding to help with my son's food allergies and my body had never felt worse. I had PAINFUL bloating every single day and a completely damaged relationship with food. Candice supported me every step of the way and tailored my program to work within my extremely specific dietary restrictions and breastfeeding limitations. She made sure every supplement and product she recommended was breastfeeding safe and gave me alternative food options based on my son's allergies and sensitivities. I feel so much more confident in my food choices and aware of what my body truly needs. I have seen huge improvements in both mine and my son's digestion over the past few months and I literally cannot thank Candice enough.
— Heather M. Stoneham, MA
Working with Candice was an amazing experience. She held a space for me when I was feeling my worst, and created a partnership to support me in my health goals. Her expertise and recommendations were helpful and well thought out. She really went the extra mile to support me and was very accessible whenever I had questions or concerns. She genuinely cared about how I was doing. It’s rare to find a practitioner who is as supportive and relatable as Candice is. It felt like I was working with a friend. Thank you for everything!!
— Elizabeth K. Boynton Beach, FL
I began my acne journey about 7 months before working with Candice. I did everything, but my acne and my scaring were taking over. I felt so defeated. Working with Candice was the best decision I had made for myself in such a long time. Candice is so knowledgeable about her profession. She takes time with each client and truly cares about their health and wellbeing as if she's known you for years. When I compared my before and after photos, I was amazed at the progress. The scaring and inflammation in my face is diminishing and the breakouts I am still experiencing are few and far between, but they also heal so much quicker than before. Moving forward, Candice has equipped me with all the tools I need in order to continue my acne journey and maintain a body that is healthy from the inside out.
— Faith W. Lincoln Park, NJ
I truly can not say enough about how much Candice helped me. It sounds dramatic to say she changed my life, but she did. For the first time I felt heard and understood, and like I was actually on the path to finding answers. I went from being absolutely exhausted all the time, horrible digestion, bloated and uncomfortable to feeling the best I’ve felt in a really long time. I finally feel like I am healing and like I can get back to being myself. I will forever be grateful for my time with Candice!
— Jessica S. Painesville, OH
Candice is the only professional I have met that has allowed me to feel heard. She genuinely wants to help you and truly is available and willing to help whenever, even if it's between appointments. The hard thing about having stomach problems is when you want to see your doctor, it will take months to see them, or you send an email and don't get a response. My experiences have always been doctors pushing medicine in my face and not trying to find the root of the problem, and Candice actually cared! With Candice, you can send her a message and she will respond within a few hours! She is the absolute best and worth every dime!
— Carlyn F. Boston, MA
I've never felt better in my life. I thought I knew what eating healthy meant but I actually had no idea. And I had no idea the transformation that could take place as a result. I want everyone to feel like this or know they don't have to feel like crap just because most people on this planet do.
The support and at your fingertips knowledge you get from working with Candice makes this investment worth every penny. I don't think I could have been this successful on my own.
— Cathy B. Phoenix, AZ
I started working with Candice to eliminate my stubborn acne (face and body). I felt very comfortable opening up to her because I knew she struggled with the same problems in the past. After 3 months with Candice, my skin looks and feels the healthiest and clearest it has in many years. I no longer experience bad breakouts because of the changes we made to my diet, products, supplements, and habits. She is so passionate about health and well-being, which naturally influenced me to become equally enthusiastic. While working with Candice you will learn a lot, build a toolkit so you can be successful on your own, have all of your questions answered, and probably solve more health problems than you originally came to see her for. Thank you so much Candice for giving me my confidence back and clearing up my skin!
— Kyle R. Sarasota, FL
I came to Candice because I couldn’t go to the bathroom more than 3x week. I thought I was pretty healthy but even the healthiest person has health issues. Candice gave me the tools to completely change my gut and mindset. I have never felt more connected with myself and happier than I do now. I have my energy back, my bloat is gone, I’m going to the bathroom everyday, and I even lost weight which I was struggling to do since having my daughter a year ago. Everything clicked and I just feel like a new me. A me that can take care of my family because I no longer feel sick and tired all the time. I’m so grateful to Candice and all her knowledge and support. I’m so glad I decided to give her a try because investing in yourself and your health is so important. Thank you Candice!!
— Kelsey M. Rocklin, CA
I found Candice randomly through Instagram at a time when I felt like I hit rock bottom. I had several health issues going on and been to several doctors and they all dismissed what was going on because to them the symptoms were liveable, not a huge deal. But to me- I had never felt worse. Physically I had gained weight, was sleeping horribly, suffering from horrible fatigue, and had been dealing with chronic constipation. As a result, mentally I was in a bad place. I felt hopeless, like I had tried everything and nothing would ever work. As soon as I had my first meeting with Candice I felt heard for the first time and she acknowledged that the problems I was having were real and needed to be fixed. I’m SO grateful to have found her and would recommend Candice to everyone! She was so supportive every step of the way and encouraged me to form habits that lined up with my goals. Everything she suggested was 100% attainable, she helped to shift my mindset in so many areas, and perhaps most importantly she helped me build a personal plan for how to help my body feel it’s best now and in the future. My only regret is not starting to work with Candice earlier! :)
— Bethany A. Akron, OH
As a critical care nurse I can tell you my nutrition training was slim to none and my pharmacology training was intense. Western medicine puts too much focus on medication and not enough time and guidance into healing through food and natural supplements. It was a true pleasure to work with Candice. Her support, guidance and education has helped me eradicate hot-flashes, hormone fluctuations, fatigue, bowel irregularity and improved my sleep. All through diet and natural supplements!!! I feel healthier, lighter, energetic, calmer and ready to take care of my family and patients in the ICU. Thank You Candice.
— Trish P. Bourne, Massachusetts
“I am so glad I finally reached out to Candice after months of following her on Instagram. For YEARS I have always had an unhealthy relationship with food. I can't remember a time I wasn't bloated, gassy, or sluggish. I could never figure out a reason why. After a terrible experience with a nutritionist at my Drs office who said I just needed to "count my calories" to lose weight, I had to find something different. Candice was my answer! Her bright energy, infectious personality, and our shared connection to teaching really made me feel comfortable. She taught me how to look at food differently and to really analyze what I put in my body. I feel so much better in my own skin and finally, have a positive relationship with food. THANK YOU CANDICE!“
— Lindsey F. Honeoye Falls, New York
“Absolutely life changing! That’s what it’s like to work with Candice. For years, I struggled with constipation, digestive issues among other health issues. Candice has given me the education that I needed to know and understand what my body needs, how to nourish it and how to live a life without medication or laxative pills/teas. From digging deep into the foods I was eating, the supplements I was taking, how much sleep and exercise to medical history; she has helped me get on the right track for a healthier and happier life. She is a ray of sunshine, always attentive to my questions, needs and concerns and always uplifting my spirits through my health journey. I enjoyed working her SO much and saw HUGE changes in my everyday life that I signed up to work with her for another 3 months!”
— Jesenia R. National City, CA
Candice is truly one of a kind ! I knew I was in the right hands from our very first meeting !! Even though 3 months seems short, we achieve SO MUCH during that time. If you’re tired of not feeling support from western medicine, and your ready to get to the root of the problem and really achieve change in your health, then Candice is your girl !! I came to Candice completely fed up with my sick body and HORRIBLE acne. I was tired of band-aid approaches that never worked. I’m happy to say after 3 months (and serious dedication) I finally feel like I have my body back. I would hands down recommend Candice’s service to anyone!
— Emily S. Chesapeake, VA
“I teared up on our final call thinking about how if I'd not reached out to Candice three months ago, I'd be exactly where I was. 30 lbs heavier, on high blood pressure meds, dealing with acid reflux, anxiety, dehydration, not sleeping well- the list goes on. I'm not dealing with any of that now! Having an accountability partner who is knowledgeable, caring and encouraging made all the difference for me. When you're dealing with a lot of health issues you need someone who can help you prioritize the concerns and address them in a certain order, otherwise you can unknowingly make the situation worse. I was overwhelmed in the beginning and now I have the confidence to take what I've learned and continue with my new lifestyle.”
— Julie R. South Portland, ME
“I cannot express my gratitude to Candice enough! Not only am I feeling the best I’ve ever felt, I am more confident and feeling like I finally have the tools I need to make dietary and lifestyle changes I’ve been wanting to make for years. I lost 12 pounds effortlessly and am finally able to eat a meal without being afraid of major bloating and fatigue after. Candice provides an amazing support system through her program, she is never pushy or judgmental, and helped me become more in tune with what my body needs. Every meeting feels like you’re talking with an old friend! I love that Candice helps you learn how to manage your own health, no meal plans or counting calories. I know the changes I made with Candice will be lifelong ones and that they will enable me to live a healthier lifestyle. Thanks for everything Candice!”
— Sarah B. Somerville, MA
““I’m broken.” A phrase I would jokingly tell my friends and family when I was experiencing severe symptoms from my recent diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. Fast forward to today and I am a different person, and I now have the knowledge to help me to continue to heal. I owe all of this to Candice Berman. My entire experience working with Candice was nothing short of perfect. She helped me get my health back and my confidence back. I would recommend Candice to anyone because anyone could benefit from working with her. My only regret is not working with her sooner. ”
— Cassidy E. Jacksoville, FL
“Candice is a godsend for those who realize that they need a change but don't know where to start. She is patient and helps guide you through the process of improving your health from the inside out in manageable steps, which is far less overwhelming than getting a mile-long list of everything you need to do at once. She is an amazing support system and my biggest cheerleader; she understands when life happens and helps you find solutions that work within your lifestyle. If you are ready to improve your health, working with Candice really is the only way to go. As someone who has tried just about every "health" program out there; save yourself the time and start here.“
— Alyssa M. San Diego, CA
It was such a joy working with Candice! For years and especially this last year, I dealt with chronic nausea, fatigue and constant bloated. I always felt like something deep down wasn’t normal about this, but was told it’s nothing. After working with Candice I started to enjoy eating real food, cooking new recipes and getting to know what my body needs on top of the incredible supplements she recommended and truly changed my life. I finally have energy to live the life I want and not be held back with these chronic symptoms anymore. Thank you Candice!
— Haley D. San Diego, CA
Candice is an amazing human being. She came into my life when I needed guidance and a boost of confidence when I desired to make changes to my lifestyle. I wanted to create a healthy livable lifestyle not just a quick fix and Candice listened to me and made this dream a reality. I am now incorporating reading labels, supplements, non distracted meals, and slowly chewing food into my life and I have seen a difference in the three months then I ever did on my own. It is awesome to know someone like Candice is out there ready to help you get your healthy life in order and on track!
— Nancy S. San Diego, CA
“After years of dealing with digestive issues and frustration from traditional western medicine, I have finally found the natural solutions I have been looking for! It was so great to connect with Candice about all of my symptoms and understand that she too had gone through similar struggles. We talked through everything I was experiencing and targeted the root causes of my issues. Candice has given me a tool box of resources to use as I continue to make great progress - my digestion has never been better!”
— Maddi C. New York, NY
“Candice is extremely attentive and a great listener with my needs and nutritional concerns. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and does as much as she can to get to the root of the issue. She’s super positive and consistent with check ins which is something I feel a lot of practitioners lack, so I feel very fortunate to have her to help me on my healing journey!”
— Brittany F. San Diego, CA
“I am so happy I decided to work with Candice! Her knowledge about what our bodies need on a daily basis has instilled a positive light in me. Candice’s background in education along with her caring, warm, and welcoming personality provides the perfect platform to help those who are in need. Through her education and personal experiences, Candice has a strong belief in the mind body connection and it shines through her work. Thank you for providing me with the support I needed during a difficult chapter of my story.”
— Julie R. Charlotte, NC
“I came to Candice looking to resolve consistent stomach discomfort after every meal and irregular BMs, but I think anyone (even those without digestive troubles) could benefit from nutritional therapy. I used to think I was a very healthy eater, but I have learned so much about hidden inflammatory ingredients in common foods, what they can do to your body long term, and how to make better choices moving forward. Coming out of this experience, I feel more educated than ever on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. My stomach discomfort is at a minimum and I even lost the 5lbs+ I've been hoping to lose for years without even trying.”
— Reilly O. Santa Monica, CA
“If you're looking for someone to hear you and understand you, Candice is your girl. She will do what it takes to figure out what is bothering you and help combat it through foods, vitamins and more. She doesn't push her opinions or suggestions on you, she is there to help move you in the right direction. Her ability to listen and understand you in uncanny - as a picky eater, she never pushed certain foods on me but instead understood my likes and adjusted her processes around me.”
— Kaila D. Denver, CO
“I was a little unsure in the beginning of my 3 month program if Candice could really fix all of my concerns but she did and I’ll be thankful that we crossed paths for the rest of my life! I’ve never been so in tune with my body and it feels so great to not feel like I’m just barely getting through each day. I have become more energized, happier, and productive since working with Candice. Even though it’s a lot of work, Candice is so understanding and supportive. I’ve never felt judged for any bad habits that I’ve developed prior to working with her. She is always so encouraging and reaching any type of milestone (no matter how small) calls for a celebration! Even though she coached me through three months of her services, it always felt like I was talking to a friend! Highly recommend.”
— Becca S. Haverhill, MA
“Working with Candice was the best thing I've done in regards to my healing journey. She is so knowledgeable, kind, and easy to talk to. After every call she had easy to follow action items to really take my health to the next level. If you're looking for guidance on healing and you're ready to put in the work, Candice will help you get there!”
— Stacy H. San Diego, CA
