Testimonials

"I was really active in high school, but after marrying and having children, I started suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I couldn't do normal, everyday activities. It became overwhelming to me! After implementing the dietary and nutritional changes that Heidi teaches, my life TOTALLY changed! I had more energy. I have a positive attitude. I was also able to get off my medication. YEAH!

-Veronica Gill, Draper, Utah, USA

Thank you very much for your teleclass...I learned some invaluable information from the doctor and from your study of health problems. The information given helped me discover how to resolve some issues, which I have had for years.

Thank you very much!

"I consulted with Kathy while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She educated me about healing foods and provided recipes that offered nutritional support through the various stages of my treatment. Kathy is very knowledgeable about nutrition and I believe her recommendations helped me be able to recover faster.

-Karen Michaels, Zionsville, IN, USA

"I have a form of arthritis in my hands that causes severe pain and crippling. I could hardly use my hands at all. I couldn't even begin to open a jar or do many tasks that most people easily do. Soon after making the nutritional changes that Heidi talks about in her seminars, I felt like a new person!!! The swelling in my hands was greatly reduced and the pain virtually vanished. I would recommend everyone with these kinds of challenges attend Heidi's seminars."

- Carol Drummond, South Jordan, Utah, USA

"After years of torturing myself with junk food, I was overweight, depressed and sick. I had no knowledge of how to cook or prepare nutritious meals. The books I read only confused me and the recipes didn't appeal to me at all. After working with Kathy for three months, I have lost 20 pounds, enrolled in a healthy cooking class, and have more energy than I have in years. Kathy's recipes are easy to prepare & taste great! I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to take control of their health."

-Brenda McGuire, Indianapolis, IN, USA

"I found your way of explaining things fascinating and easy to understand for a lay person like myself. May you be blessed for your efforts.

- DiAnna McDowell, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

"… A Spoonful of Sugar is the Medicine Going Down."

-Sharon Riesen, M.D., Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Loma Linda University

A glyconutrient is a sugar. Without these sugars, your cells would be in a perpetual identity crisis because glyconutrients are needed to make the nametags on the surface of your cells. Eight of these sugars are important to health. 

A 2002 study showed that individuals with fibromyalgia who took a combination of different supplements, including glyconutrients, experienced significant improvement in their symptoms.

Mannose prevents infection and inflammation and has been used in studies to support Rheumatoid Arthritis, lupus, and to lower blood sugar and triglyceride levels in diabetics.

Glucose, or table sugar, is generally over-consumed, but has been found deficient in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

Galactose is found in dairy products. This sugar enhances wound healing and decreases inflammation.

Fucose is found in human breast milk and certain mushrooms. Fucose metabolism is thought to be abnormal in diabetics and during episodes of shingles. This sugar guards against respiratory tract infections and inhibits allergies.

Lower-than-normal levels of N-acetylgalactosamine have been found in people with heart disease. It helps repair cartilage, decreases pain and inflammation, and increases range of motion in osteoarthritis. This sugar also supports Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and interstitial cystitis.

Arabinogalactan fights specific cancers, hepatitis B and C, chronic fatigue and infections.

N-Acetylneuraminic acid is anti-viral. In Sjogren's Syndrome and in alcoholics, the processing of this sugar is disturbed.

Xylose is often used to sweeten sugarless gum and is a good non-toxic sugar substitute.

Note: Glyconutrients are only found in vine-ripened produce. In addition, overall nutrient content decreases with processing and storage. In other words, for maximum glyconutrient intake it is advisable to consume fully ripened fresh fruit and vegetables, which are minimally processed.

The most reliable way to obtain the glyconutrients you need is through glyconutrient supplements made by reputable sources.
