Diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and chronic depression from an early age, I have struggled to develop healthy eating habits and a positive self-image.

I have spent many years looking for effective ways to improve my overall health. With Dr. Ruggieri’s nutrition counseling, I noticed immediate increases in energy, a more balanced mood, and sustained motivation to exercise on a daily basis. I am no longer bound by the overt messages that the media sends about the “perfect body”.

What I appreciate most about working with Dr. Ruggieri is her candid ability to create individual, achievable goals. She breaks down nutrition and exercise needs in a way that anyone can easily understand. She then provides the tools needed to effectively implement these changes into a daily routine. Dr. Ruggieri has become a teacher, mentor and friend. She gives much more than what is promised. She gave me my life back!
