After a couple of years of substandard physicals from my doctor and a few years of unsuccessful attempts to control my diabetes, I finally decided to do something about improving my health. I did not want to go on any more medications, but my triglycerides on my last blood panel was 426. (100-130 is the normal range). My Doctor told me that if the levels did not come down soon, he was going to put me on yet another medication to control it. That was when I decided maybe a nutritionist could help me with these medical issues. I went online and found Lighthouse Nutrition and Wellness. After looking over Cathy's website, I thought I would meet with her and see if she could help me. I was not disappointed.
Cathy takes the time to listen and make suggestions. Her handouts are excellent and I keep them in the little binder she gave me. Its packed with information and I refer to it often. She covers everything from keeping the kitchen clean to healthy eating. One of the highlights of my time with Cathy was when she took my wife and I on a grocery tour of Fred Meyer. That tour opened up a whole new world that neither one of us even knew existed. We are trying new foods now all the time and are finding that we actually enjoy almost all of it. Another helpful event was when she came over to our house and helped us in our kitchen, showing us the good (and the bad) side of how our kitchen was stocked and how things should be laid out to get the maximum benefit of the foods in our house. Lastly, Cathy gave us a wonderful cooking demonstration in her in office kitchen. It was actually a meal to die for!
I could go on and on, but results speak for themselves. I know that I need to lose more weight, but that was not my priority at the time. I just wanted to get myself healthy. However, in the process I started out weighing 192 lbs. I stepped on the scale the other day and was pleasantlysurprised to see that I was down to 179.8. I also had my triglycerides checked and they amazingly dropped from 426 to 139. Not to mention my daily blood sugar has started to stabilize with most readings now somewhere between 105-120. Way better than the 140s-160's I was getting before. Did it take a little work on my part? Of course but without the help of Lighthouse Nutrition and Wellness these goals could not have been met. Thank you, Cathy.
Lighthouse Nutrition and Wellness in Gig Harbor is the most unprofessional business I have ever worked with. After scheduling an introduction consultation with Cathy, I immediately knew that we were not going to be a good fit based off her judgement demeanor. I immediately emailed and let her know that I would be moving in a different direction and thanked her for her time. Her assistant Christy wrote back and said that it would be $140 for the initial consultation (that I was happy to pay), but also said there would be an additional $200 program exit fee. I did not agree to enter her program and didn’t fill out any forms before or following our consultation. After disputing the $200 exit fee, Christy and Cathy have proceeded to message and call me multiple times a week for the last month+ about the exit fee and filling out a exit membership evaluation form.
Please save yourself the time and money by avoiding this company. I would give zero stars if I could.
