Testimonials

I highly recommend Eric to anyone who is looking to improve their diet, health or understanding of nutrition.  Eric helped pinpoint subtle problems in my diet that were working against me.  He also educated me on the meaning of various lab tests and results in far greater detail than provided by my general practitioner.  Eric recommended supplements and modifications to my diet that made a big impact on my energy level, helped me avoid the afternoon slump, and significantly reduced several of the symptoms I had been having (digestive issues, weight gain, mood swings, etc).  He also educated me on additional testing, exercise and nutrition regimes to further enhance my health and well-being.  I really appreciated the detailed notes Eric took during my visits, and the level of preparation he put into each of our sessions.

When I began nutritional counseling with Eric five months ago, I was extremely fatigued, sometimes irritable, stressed out, anxious, and I had bouts of depression. I was also overweight. Most of these symptoms were brought on by my hypothyroidism, which I was -- and still am -- being treated for, but I still felt unwell and was lacking energy and focus. Always striving to lose weight since my hypothyroid diagnosis seven years ago, I tried many weight-loss and diet methods. Some worked for a time, some didn’t work at all. Inevitably, I would always gain weight back, sometimes even after a significant weight loss (35 lbs at most, sometimes 10 or 20 lbs). These methods consisted of: South Beach Diet, LA Weight Loss, glycemic-index eating, Weight Watchers, thyroid-targeted diets, hormone-based diets – anything I could get my hands on to read about and try to find ways to feel better. Some of these attempts worked, but I would gain weight back eventually. Some of these plans didn’t make me feel better at all. Some plans confused me – a lot of information is out there, and I felt confused about what was best for me, given my health challenges. In six visits with Eric, and with my strong dedication to feel better, I’ve managed to lose 25 pounds and I’ve gained knowledge, confidence, and a more positive outlook about facing my health challenges.  I feel like I am finally on the right path to a healthier me, and it feels wonderful.

 I have significantly more energy – enough to exercise, enough to feel refreshed and awake in the morning, even if I did not get an ideal amount of sleep the night prior.  The occasional digestive issues I had are mostly non-existent.  My skin and complexion is better – my eyes seem brighter, and overall my color is better. My sugar cravings have lessened significantly; I’ve cut down on my caffeine intake which I feel has also contributed to my improved overall health and decreased anxiety.  I am enjoying selecting fresh fruit and veggies on my grocery store and farm stand trips, and finding new recipes that accommodate my improved eating habits. These choices reflect the whole-foods eating approach I learned from Eric, using clean food along with high quality vitamins/nutritional supplements.

There are other gratifying benefits that have come from this new approach to eating and living -- not only are my clothes are looser and more comfortable, but I can shop and actually like what I see in the mirror. I can buy new clothes that look nice, and I can fit into some older outfits that I set aside for when I dropped some weight. In a complete and welcome reversal, I’ve had to swap out larger clothes for smaller ones from the spare closet. This has been a blast!

I can honestly say that the pleasure of giving myself what I needed and accepting that it’s not a selfish act to want to feel good, has been the greatest reward of all. It’s nice to fit into certain clothes, but it’s even better to have the energy I need to get through my busy day, accomplish what I “need” to do (work, chores, etc.), and still have time to do what I “want” to do (spend time with my family and friends, cook, read, sew, etc.).

 If you need some extra help and guidance in your pathway to good health, you should meet with Eric. His expertise on healthy eating and living and his kind, non-judgmental approach was just what I needed to get to the next step of feeling better! Thank you

For as long as I can remember I didn't eat right. Meals consisted of foods chosen out of a desire for punishment or reward. Regardless of which side of the equation I was on, nutrition was never a concern. I managed my weight by increasing exercise levels and restricting my intake of certain foods. Once I achieved the desired weight loss the pounds would gradually go back on. My energy levels fluctuated noticeably and I never realized the full benefit of all the exercise that I was doing. I knew I was selling myself short nutritionally, but couldn't seem to break the old habits. Recently I had noticed a colleague of mine who was achieving the results I had hoped to achieve. I asked him what he was doing differently and he referred me to Eric.

Eric provided me with some foundational guidelines for making better nutritional choices and pointed out some other small lifestyle changes, sleep, exercise, caffeine, etc. He then built upon them over the 90 day period. The net benefit of all these changes has been remarkable. I consistently have more energy and my energy levels don't fade during the day. I was initially concerned that I would only be able to do this for awhile and eventually fall back into my old habits. However, it has been remarkably easy to maintain this new lifestyle. Eric's tip for foods to keep on hand and quick easy preparation suggestions has made it easy for me to always have something nutritious available even when I'm in a hurry. So now I eat more often, eat better food, lose weight and I don't really have to think about it.

This program has made a big difference. This was time and effort well spent. I only wish I'd done it sooner.

In October of 2008, I was diagnosed with depression. I started consultations with Eric in December. He prescribed a regimen of supplements and gave me practical advice for living a healthy lifestyle. Before working with him, I suffered from insomnia and extremely low energy levels, in addition to depression. I had difficulty getting out of bed in the morning and was doing poorly in school. The change was not drastic or sudden, but over the next few months I was able to slowly improve my health by following the guidelines Eric had set for me. I was able to sufficiently overcome my depression and have been sleeping well and been energetic during the day. As much as I was tempted to go on antidepressants, which not doubt would have worked quicker, I found that what was needed was an entire lifestyle change, and it was through Crossroads To Health that I was able to achieve that.

 Throughout much of my life, I have often found my weight to be a bit heavier than I would like it to be. Even though I had never let this bother me in the past, I had recently come to realize that my weight was becoming a hindrance for me in my athletic pursuits. Upon discoveringthis, I got in touch with Eric hoping to re-educate myself about basic nutrition and to develop a sensible weight loss strategy. After three months of working together with Eric, I've lost nearly 25 pounds, I feel much more comfortable with my eating habits, and I'm in a much better position to realize my athletic goals. I would highly recommend Eric's services to anyone who needs help with improving their overall wellness.

Thank you for the individualized education on nutrition and lifestyle changes to help me feel better and lose weight. Six months ago I was overweight, tired all the time and lacking energy to get through my day. The fatigue was accentuated even more because I could not sleep through the night. Through individual counseling and education I was able to modify my diet and lifestyle, lose weight, sleep better and create a more energized life. Eric was flexible, compassionate and knowledgeable. I am grateful for the ongoing support and education that helped me transform my life.

"Before my work with Eric, I would have considered myself healthy. But I was over-tired, over-stressed and had packed on some weight that I thought was a natural result of getting close to 50 years old. What started out as an experiment to see if I could feel and look better has turned into a lifestyle change that has resulted in some very powerful improvements. As a result of understanding how to fuel my body with nutritionally dense foods, I have documented health improvements from my last physical such as these: I have lost 18 pounds. My total cholesterol went down 31 points from 180 to 149. My LDL cholesterol is what caused 28 points of the decrease. While people around me at work are starting to report issues with blood pressure, I remain at a great pressure of 120/70. The last time I had my eyes checked, the doctor told me my response to the gluacoma test was above average for my age group. And my personal favorite...I am now wearing a size 2 for the first time ever!

I truly believe that while I thought I was healthy, with something as simple as changing what types of foods I eat, I have been able to improve my health and appearance in ways I never expected. Eating whole foods is satisfying and tastes great! I'm not hungry, counting points or doing weekly weigh in's. Because I understand how to eat for a lifetime and didn't do this with a fad diet, I confidently just gave away a ton of clothes up to size 10. I would recommend this lifestyle to anyone."

I was at a point in my life where I knew I needed to make serious changes regarding my relationship with food. It would take determination, discipline and help. I met Eric in March of 2011 and after implementing the changes he suggested, based on his vast knowledge of food and nutrition, I have my body and changed my life. My sleep has improved, my stamina has increased, and I have a higher level of energy that lasts throughout the day. I feel better than I have in years. For me, it has really been about education and learning what my body truly needs to function properly, feel good and be healthy. I am forever grateful for Eric's expertise and guidance.

I started seeing Eric in January, 2010.  I knew my immune system was comprised because I had a bout with shingles.  I was stressed, fatigued, and overweight. With Erics' help and guidance, he worked with me to change my diet.  At first it was challenging but I soon learned how easy it was. Just being prepared with more nutritional foods on hand made a difference. Eric went over my supplements with me taking some away and adding a few.  I had a blood test that showed more of what was going on in my body. I soon became less stressed, less fatigued and have lost 25-30lbs, have dropped 4 sizes in my clothes and feel so much better. Eric was right there at every session to encourage me. I have never been able to lose weight and inches without feeling hungry.  I was amazed how the whole foods sustained me. I would recommend Eric to anyone whose looking to improve their diet and lose weight.

I would just like to say how beneficial I feel it has been for me personally to enlist the services of Eric Reardon to try to regain my health. My energy, mood, concentration, and brain fog have all improved in just 3 months. I am excited about how I will feel in the coming months.

Thank you for all your help. I feel like my eating habits are so much better than they were and feel much healthier and more knowledgeable about food. You have really helped me a lot.

I visited Eric to see if he could remotivate and reeducate me about weight loss. I had grown weary of Weight Watchers and had actually plateaued for quite a while. I took his advice and found that this is the absolute first time that I have lost weight without following a specific diet.

My son’s health is good and he never seems to get colds or flu’s. His energy is better and his nails grow incredibly fast on the supplements. He also seems calmer taking the omega-3 supplements.

I recently completed the Cleanse/detox 3 week session and it is an experience that I highly recommend. I tried other "detox" programs , but Eric's program is something that is very simple to follow and, more importantly, very simple to continue. At the end of the 3 week program I was happy to realize a 13 pound weight loss. I have increased energy, no more sugar cravings, and best of all, the motivation to continue making healthy choices for myself and my family. 

Sheri V.

Before I participated in Eric's 3 week program, I was experienceing such diminished health that I thought I was seriously ill. My mind was so "clogged" that I began to worry that I might be showing signs of Alzheimer's; my body ached so much that I was always taking pain medication; and I was having svere sinus problems. After the 3 week program, I have experienced relief from all of the above conditions. Now, I incorporate the methods of eating and caring for myself that I learned in your program. Thanks Eric.

Lynne P.

I would recommend Eric’s detox class to anyone interested in feeling better and being healthier. By following the guidelines I feel so much better in ways I had never anticipated. Additionally I lost weight, gained a sense of well being and the techniques I learned I can reuse over and over. My results were so compelling that I chose to continue on with personal nutrition counseling after the class so that I could really learn how to maximize my results for a lifetime

After a few days on the cleanse I was pain free from fibromyalgia. My thinking was clearer and an overall calm to my body was evident. Doing this cleanse made me see what a difference can be made by what foods you put into your body.

Kathy P.

After 7 years of mild to moderate fibromyalgia symptoms daily-I have felt great for the last 12 days-no symptoms.
