I came to Anne to learn how to eat better during my long shifts at work, have more energy and get better quality sleep. Anne was very easy to talk too and much more open than my doctor. She suggested things I might change in my diet I never would have thought of and even created a customized meal schedule to help me eat more regularly at work. I don’t have much time to cook with my work and family schedule but Anne taught me how to make the most of my time in the kitchen when I could cook and when I couldn’t, what to choose that was healthy for me. She explained why eating gluten and dairy might be a problem for me and put me on a yeast eradication eating program. After 6 weeks I had noticeably more energy and no headaches. After 12 weeks I have noticed dramatic increase in my energy, better sleep and I am able to manage my stress better. I would recommend Anne to anyone who needs help figuring out what to eat to help them improve their overall health.

I was diagnosed with thrush (yeast overgrowth) and tried for several months to eliminate it but I was not having any success getting rid of it. I went to several different doctors and was given another round of prescription anti-fungal medications each time, and then a natural doctor who advised supplemental treatments which helped somewhat but my thrush just seemed to return. Deciding I needed a more comprehensive approach I found Anne’s website and made an appointment. Anne has been very thorough in her approach to helping me eradicate my yeast overgrowth and she is much more accessible than my doctor. Anne explained how we get yeast overgrowth and what foods contribute to this condition – these were things that were left out by my doctors. I now understand what feeds yeast, what prevents it and what to do to heal myself. I am making more progress working with Anne than I had been following other programs. My thrush is slowly becoming less of a problem and I my condition is improving.

What a difference! I had already deduced plenty of what I could not eat, and much of it was supposedly “good-for-me-health-food”. This left me with the question, “What can I eat?” Anne Baker helped answer that question. With her help, the natural foods that are best for me were ferreted out, and I can eat a LOT! Anne also put me on a Candida Cleanse with gentle herbs that really work! The Candida is gone. My energy is up, as is my mood! No more dark days, even when it’s raining outside! To look at where I was and compare it to where I now am…what a difference! And it was so easy! I’ve got to give thanks to the Maker, and to Anne Baker. Thank you! What a difference!

By the end of my first appointment, I felt confident in Anne’s skills and knowledge and knew I made the right decision in selecting her as my lifestyle educator. My confidence in Anne grew when just after a week of following her recommendations; I felt better and had more energy. Her evaluation as to what was troubling me appeared to be right on and I continue to work towards renewed health. Subsequent appointments fared just as well with her ability to get it right with supplements/treatments that truly work. Changing my diet wasn’t stressful or hard, as Anne provided recipes, shopping lists, and other resources to guide me. I have shared my experience with several friends and family and they have been inspired to make changes themselves. Anyone who desires to feel better or is overwhelmed by the thought of where to start in maintaining or improving their health owes it to themselves to benefit from the knowledge and expertise of Anne Baker.

I’ve been working with Anne now for about 4 months.  I came to Anne for help improving my dietary habits and to get information on other aspects of health such as better sleep and what supplements are valuable and which are not. Anne has provided me with solid, worthwhile advice that has already made a noticeable difference in my life. I sleep better now, thanks to Anne and am taking fewer supplements while getting as much or more from them. Also Anne does not try to sell me supplements as a previous nutritionist did. She assessed me carefully, for example using previous blood tests (far more carefully than my previous nutritionist did). She examined carefully what I was already eating and supplements I was taking before making nutritional or supplement recommendations. She’s also given me tips on healthier cooking. I could go on, but all in all I am very satisfied with Anne and would recommend her to anyone seeking expert nutritional and health guidance.

I went to Anne looking for relief after suffering from interstitial cystitis for almost two years. Between the time my symptoms began and when I went to Anne’s office, I saw three family practitioners, a nurse, a medical student, and a urologist about my bladder pain. None was able to offer any guidance on how to alleviate my symptoms, nor did any of them link particular foods to my IC. At that point, I knew I had to research solutions on my own, and I am glad I found Anne. It took only two visits with Anne before I was feeling better and was able to continue following an interstitial cystitis diet on my own. Anne knew a lot about IC, and also took a lot of time to explain things to me, research IC-friendly recipes, and reassure me that an IC diet would really be helpful to me. She was right. I now know which foods cause my symptoms to flare and which foods are safe to me to eat, and as a result, I am virtually symptom-free for the first time since May 2010. I am so grateful, as I was really beginning to think I would never feel completely normal again. Thank you, Anne!

I met Anne about 6 weeks ago. During our first phone conversation Anne asked detailed questions then assured me that she could help me. I came to Anne with a long list of complaints – IBS, aches & pains, fatigue, sleepless nights, overweight, always craving food, dizzy, constipation and many more issues. I have been to many doctors and followed other diet plans but no one has helped me as much as Anne. Anne developed a plan just for me which consisted of diet, supplements and a change in my daily routine and after just two weeks I was feeling wonderful. My family and co-workers could not believe the difference in my appearance and attitude. I can now wake up in the morning and not dread the day ahead. Over the last 6 weeks I have lost 10 pounds and I feel I will continue to lose more weight with her guidance. I can’t thank Anne enough for giving me back a way of life I thought I would never see again.

I had been experiencing a lot of headaches, body aches and fatigue and wondered what else was out of whack. I decided I needed to see a nutritionist to help get my body and life back on track. This is when I found Anne Baker at Nourish. Anne made a number of recommendations that would help improve my diet and even tips for getting a better night’s rest.  She recommended food sensitivity testing to rule out any food allergies that might be causing some of the problems I was experiencing. The test came back with fairly few allergies to foods, but the real surprise was that my Candida level was off the chart. After a couple weeks of eliminating foods that contributed to the condition and taking  supportive supplements recommended by Anne, I am well on my way to a healthier life. I am eating healthier, sleep better, have lost 8 much needed pounds and have a more positive outlook toward life in general. I am fully embracing a more holistic lifestyle and feel grateful to have the guidance Anne provided. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have discovered a condition that is fully treatable now– before it became an illness. Had I not visited Anne, I would not have known I had this condition because my doctor would have never tested for it. I’m glad I followed my instincts and reached out to a nutritionist. I’m glad I found Anne at Nourish.

“Thanks to Anne I am in better health today than one year ago. I learned at a routine visit to my internist, that I was at HIGH risk for a heart attack or stroke. My overall cholesterol was 241 mg/dl and my LDL was at 158 mg/dl. That forced me to have to change my diet, and add a routine of exercise that would dramatically improve my health.” The diet my MD gave me was pretty minimal and left me a bit confused on how to begin. So I contacted Anne and she helped me with a detailed diet program that focused on what I could eat instead of what I couldn’t eat. I more than doubled my intake of fresh fruit and vegetables and started drinking water between meals which helped my digestive track process my foods better. Anne recommended nutritional substitutes that actually tasted good. By eliminating red meat, and cutting back on processed foods – PLUS going easy on butter, eggs, cheese and other dairy products I saw a great change in my blood cholesterol. At my seven week checkup my blood cholesterol had dropped from 241 mg/dL to 163 mg/dL and my triglycerides went from 158 mg/dL to 88 mg/dL and I lost 4 lbs. My internist was amazed! Now I’ve got more energy and have worked up to doing 3 miles a day on the Aerodyne bike which is helping me strengthening my legs for better balance.

I have always considered myself healthy from the way I eat, exercise and live life. Recently another cholesterol test revealed high numbers. Not high enough to warrant medication but enough to make me realize I needed to make some changes. I needed help and I knew my choices in foods were the place to start. ANNE BAKER TO THE RESCUE! Anne has helped me so much. I now understand how foods stimulate your system and keep you healthy. I am so happy I made the call and found Anne’s help.

I’ve suffered from gastrointestinal issues for ten years and have been prescribed a variation of the same antacid which has never actually solved the problem but rather masked it instead. I have also struggling with feelings of depression and anxiety, which I have also been taking medication for. I just got to the point where I couldn’t think of any reason why I should keep taking all these pharmaceutical drugs that are only prescribed to treat the symptoms and not resolve the actual problem at hand. I was looking for help getting back on the right track and found Anne. Anne has addressed the cause of my symptoms by helping me change what I am eating and augmenting this with some targeted supplements. After a couple of months of keeping up with my nutritional regimen, I have noticed a big difference in the way I feel. She has helped me realize how important nutrition is and thanks to her, I am now weaning off of the pharmaceutical drugs that I have been taking for so long and I am starting to feel a lot more like myself. Thanks to Anne Baker, I am closer to reaching my goal of finally being drug free and healthy.

Five months ago I was diagnosed with IC (Interstitial Cystitis) of the bladder. The doctor I went to did not have much information on diet or how to manage my condition, other than prescription medications which I did not want to use. I found Anne’s website and saw she helped people who suffered from chronic health conditions using special diets. When I came to Anne I was in a great deal of discomfort and unclear about what I could actually eat without exacerbating my pain. She advised me about what foods to avoid so I could begin getting my IC pain under control. When I told my urologist I was seeing a nutritionist he thought that it was a great idea. Today’s doctors have you in and out of their office in ten minutes, but working with Anne she spent a great deal of time educating me about what I could do (and eat) to improve my condition and ease my pain. She’s also taught me more about how everything is connected and has given me specific natural options I can turn to when I do have an IC flair up. Because I also suffer from planter’s fasciitis, a bad back, high cholesterol and other digestive issues she has shown me how I can manage these conditions too without prescription medications. When I started seeing Anne five months ago my cholesterol was high (210) but at my last check up my cholesterol was down to 190 so what she has me doing is working on many levels.

After having cancer tumors removed from my chest for the second time in two years I went to a U of M oncologist for a check up. This was just two months after my surgery in 2010. The doctored walked in and said “there are two new spots in your chest” and I burst into tears and my oncologist looked at me and said “why are you crying, we told you it would probably come back”. I knew it was time to find a new doctor. After doing research on the Internet I came across Suzanne Somers book “Knockout” and was able to find a physician who practiced integrative medicine. When I started asking my new doctor questions about nutrition and cancer he referred me to Anne, saying he felt confident that her expertise in nutrition exceeded his knowledge. After my first appointment with her I came away more excited than I had been in a long time. Not only did I feel she completely understood my concerns, but I was happy to finally have found someone who believed as I do we are what we eat. She helped me establish goals to help me with my cancer and instructed me on what to eat/avoid for Candida. Anne also developed a program to help me gain back some of the 20 lbs I had lost over the past several years – I weighed just 100lbs when we began! I have been working with Anne for about three months and I feel more energetic, my outlook is much more positive and I no longer feel like I have ADD, plus I am starting to gain weight! Now my bones are not sticking out. But the very best news is I was told by my doctor my cancer has stopped growing! I have found a kindred spirit in Anne. She has helped me learn how to pack more nutrition into my snacks and I have gotten many delicious recipes from her. I am thankful every day Anne is in my life. She is more than and educator, she is now a friend.

After a year and a half of hitting my head against the wall and modern medicine making me worse….I came to Anne. She taught me how to heal myself!” I had a yeast and gluten problem and was suffering from Vulvodynia for about a year and a half. After seeing different doctors and getting nowhere I knew the doctors were heading me down the wrong track. The medicine they prescribed me was not working. I met Anne at a lecture she presented at Whole Foods I attended, and I liked what I heard there and called her. Anne put me on a special gluten free meal program along with an essential oil based topical product for my vulvodynia. The topical product helped me immediately to relieve my pain and within two weeks I noticed a huge improvement in my overall symptoms. It’s been two months now and my yeast problem is cleared up. I am now pain free. I know my yeast is gone because I went to the University Of Michigan for help with my vulvodynia (upon the advice of my family practitioner). I had to wait six months to get an appointment with U of M and when I finally saw the specialists there they said that everything Anne had me doing was correct and they could find no yeast overgrowth when they tested me. I love my rapport with Anne. I feel very at ease working with her.

“When I discovered Anne, I was basically a vegetarian who didn’t eat enough vegetables or cook anything for herself.”… Years of subsisting on microwaved processed veggie burgers, peanut butter sandwiches and cereal had finally taken their toll on me. I felt, literally, sick and tired, and I knew that I didn’t need a doctor – I needed someone to help me get my nutritional life in order. Anne helped me do that, and more. She gave me some simple, delicious vegetable recipes and recommended some great supplements for me to ensure that I was getting everything I needed. In addition, to advising me about my diet and the supplements, she recommended some simple lifestyle changes for me that have made all the difference in how I feel.

Now, I start the day with a nutritious smoothie, I have vegetables every day, which is a big deal for me, and I am thrilled to report that I am now on week 2 of very intense DVD workout program. I would not have had the energy to even open the box before I started working with Anne. I have been to a number of holistic doctors over the years, and, based on the advice that Anne gave me, I think that she is as knowledgeable about nutrition and the use of supplements as any of them.  If you aren’t feeling well, or if you just want to make sure that you’re getting the nutrients that you need, I believe that Anne can help you.

“Before finding Anne I had been seeing another natural practitioner for several years without much success.” I came to Anne for help with yeast overgrowth and food allergies. The yeast clearing program she developed for me was easy to follow and included specific beneficial foods and supplements for combating yeast. The recipes in my program were delicious! I began to notice an improvement in my symptoms and energy within a few weeks. Her costs are reasonable especially compared to other natural practitioners I have seen in the past. When my friends comment about how well I look I tell them about my experience working with Anne and recommend they contact her.

Anne was able to customize our presentation, evaluate our kitchen snack offerings and lend expert advice in areas of nutritional snack options and holiday eating. She was able to answer all questions and keenly explain the science behind her recommendations. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their health and/or habits.

Anne’s presentation Nutrition 101: Making Healthy Good Choices – Separating Myth from Fact was informative and the feedback from our patrons was very positive. A patron from the library had recommended her and I chose this topic because we are all looking for better food choices. We had over 140 people attend and hope to have her back in the future.

Ms. Baker presented “Breaking the Addiction to Sugar” to the seniors at the City of Auburn Hills Community Center. Her presentation was thorough and very informative, many of the seniors commented that they had no idea as to the amount of sugar that was hidden in our diets. Anne has demonstrated the most professional and dedicated attention to her programs and we intend to have her return and do more presentations. Thank you for your care and consideration to helping others live life healthier.

I have had the opportunity of working with Anne Baker from Nourish Nutrition on two different occasions. One occasion was a Lunch and Learn educational seminar and the other was a one hour training Anne Baker provided as part of a Stress Management workshop. Anne provided interesting information in a knowledgeable, well organized fashion which she tailored to her audience. Anne also provides handouts which are nice additions to her training.
