Reviews and Testimonials From Juli Keene's Clients and Colleagues
Weight Loss and Chronic Fatigue
I wanted to thank Juli Keene,CN for helping me find a healthy solution to losing weight. I have a condition called Chronic Fatigue with the Epstein Barr Virus, which made losing weight and dieting difficult. I have tried weight watchers, Jenny Craig, private dietitians, Over Eaters Anonymous and the H.O.W. program for short periods of time with no results. I could not handle the stress of the extreme eliminations of fats and carbohydrates, and being hungry without getting sick in a few months. I have struggled with this issue for years. I told Juli about my struggle and said she could help me and was quite aware that with my condition that the elimination of fats,and not getting enough calories would exacerbate my condition. I started Juli's food plan and to my delight I have lost almost 15 pounds and I have not had a fatigue episode in months. I think the key is I never go hungry and have plenty of nutrition. Juli is always there if I have a question, she's very supportive and I'm very glad to have found her. I would recommend her to anyone one. I have even taken my teenage daughter to see Juli, she was kind and compassionate to my daughters needs. Juli has helped my daughter eat well and build lean muscle that she always wanted.

Pediatric ADHD
I brought my 5 year old son to Juli Keene, CN for attention and behavior problems he was having. Juli was able to test him for food sensitivities as well as metabolic testing to see what else was affecting his moods and behavior. The tests showed that my son had quite a few issues including a fungal/yeast infection that I think he's had since birth, a lot of nutrient deficiencies, toxic levels of mercury and aluminum in his body as well as a sensitivity to the foods he wants to eat all the time like cheese, chocolate milk, crackers and pasta. All these issues were causing anxiety, lack of impulse control, aggressiveness alternating with neediness and insecurity, stomach problems, lack of attention and an inability to stay on task. His aggressiveness, temper tantrums and poor social skills were making it look like he would be asked to leave the school he just started in this year.
Juli was able to help us clean up his diet, get to the right Doctors where needed, and get my son the nutrients he needed to get his body back in balance. She did everything with his strengths and limitations in mind. She spent hours with me in person and on the phone and e-mail walking me through the changes we had to make. It has been only 8 months and my son is like a different child. He is calm and secure most of the time and his teachers are thrilled. We know that when he is having symptoms again he probably ate something that he wasn't supposed to. With the digestive enzymes and probiotics Juli recommended, and the healing he's done, even those episodes are not as bad as they used to be. Thanks to Juli and the changes that she insisted my husband and I make in our diet and lifestyle (and the candida and mercury detoxes I have done) my baby daughter is 9 months old now and doesn't seem to have the colic and irritability that my son had! She is so much more peaceful and happy. Our fingers are crossed but this time I know what to do if there is a problem.
Thank you Juli and thank you to Dr.Jim for recommending her!

Mom Needed Help!
My child's preschool teacher recommended I see Juli for my depression and anxiety following the birth of my 3rd child in 5 years. I was a mess. I was so grateful for my beautiful babies but felt like I couldn't feel joy anymore. I have been a vegetarian for 20+ years and thought I was healthy till this depression hit me. Juli gave me a bunch of forms to fill out prior to our appointment and I felt some hope because I had so many of the symptoms that were listed. My Doctor said there was nothing wrong with me and that maybe I should go on anti-depressants and sleeping pills. Since I am still breast feeding I said no. I met with Juli and she gave me some amino acids right there in her office and within 10 minutes I felt better than I have in a few years. She started me on a food and supplement plan that was simple but took a lot more preparation than I was used to doing for myself. She told me I had to take time to focus on my own health if I wanted to be present and healthy for my kids. She helped me work out how to get enough protein in my daily diet and showed me how to keep my blood sugar balanced. I am now feeling normal and my sleep is better than it ever has been (when my baby is happy). I stopped taking my supplements and eating right for about a month and my husband called Juli himself and booked me an appointment! I didn't even realize what a difference the right nutrition made until I went back off it. I was mental in like a week. My husband bought me a package of consults for my birthday. This was nice of him but I won't be doing that again. Juli recently had me fill out the paperwork again to see my progress and I have hardly any issues left! I am so glad I gave this a try.

A Child with Extreme Food Allergies and Behavioral Issues Finds a Solution Without Medication!
“Our family went to Juli in 2009 to address issues with food allergies and stomach problems experienced by one of our children. She gave appropriate tests and helped to diagnose behaviorial issues that were directly related to food allergies and intolerance. We have seen a 100% turnaround and our child is much happier and doing great. Thank you. Without Juli we might have pursued medications to treat the symptoms and would never have resolved the root cause of the problem” Craig L. Beverly Hills, CA

An MD Specialist Recommends Juli Keene, CN To Her Patients!
Juli us an excellent specialist in her field, very knowledgeable and an extremely professional clinical nutritionist.

Doctor Gina Sturnchess, MD, Female Uro-Gyneocologist, Long Beach, CA
Psychotherapist, Vitamin Store Owner and Artist Recommends Juli to Her Patients!
“I am writing in praise of Juli Keene's work as a nutritionist. I have known Juli for over 15 years, when she was getting her nutritionist licensure and working at The Remedy Store in Manhattan Beach. I have referred numerous patients to her over the years and she always does impeccable work, with great results. Juli's is highly skilled at the reading and interpretation of blood test results; detecting where there are indications of sub-clinical tendencies toward imbalance that can often be remedied with nutrition and supplementation. So many nutritionists are oriented only toward weight-loss and I deeply appreciate and respect her holistic approach.”

Julie, I am feeling pretty good thanks to your food plan for me. I've lost 19 lbs and am now Running up to 3.5 miles! My energy is so much better now. I've never been a runner before. I am still using your guidelines daily and It's pretty easy. BTW I went from 195 lbs to my weight of 25yrs ago of 176, I am 6'2. So along with exercise, supplements and your food plan I am where i should be. I did not need the medication or the side effects. My cholesterol dropped from 209 to 161 even though that wasn't an issue really. My blood sugars are great. The weird thing is the pounds just came off with no struggling and no more food cravings. I eat all day long but I am never hungry and I lose weight just like you said I would. My Doctor is very happy with you and I both! Thanks! And if anyone out there needs help but they are not sure, let them read this. You can use my name.
