Testimonials | Carpe Diem Wellness

I have known Lisa for a long time and decided to engage in her services about 4 months ago. Despite being a 66 years old with 5 grandchildren and in good shape I wanted to get better, eat better, feel better and have more energy. My goal is to live to see all my grandchildren get married. Little did I know what was to come. A full battery of tests, detailed medical history and questionnaires. I discovered there were some things not right about me physically and it took a health coach and functional medicine specialist, someone who looks at everything going on with your diet, your make up of your body, the supplements I was taking to put me on the right path. I continued to be active working out, yoga, golf, taking our springer spaniel on long walks with my wife but I changed my diet, eating habits and supplements to get me where I wanted to go. Through her program, coaching and following in detail her plan, I shed weight, slimmed down, and have great energy. Lisa deeply cares for her clients and wants them to succeed. I highly recommend Lisa.

Lisa not only helped me in lose weight but I also feel more energetic.

~ Heather Mcquaig

As a health coach, Lisa has helped me to develop a healthier relationship with myself—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She met me where I was in my journey and is working with me at a pace that is comfortable for me but still challenging. I am learning to trust my gut and to listen to the messages my body is giving me rather than blindly accepting mainstream diagnosis and pharmaceutical remedies.Individual Coaching

I started going to Lisa about a year ago when I was really struggling with some stomach issues that I had been having for a year or so. I thought I was doing all the right things, in fact cutting out a lot of food not knowing if that was the right thing to do or not. With the help of Lisa alongside my integrative practitioner I was able to get my body back on track by determining what supplements I needed as well as what food my body needs and does not need to help me on my path to wellness. But my work with Lisa did not end there, the coaching and emotional support she provided as well allowed me to go on this journey of healing and explore new ways of meditation and deep breathing exercises along with a new form of yoga to help with my stress levels. I still need to focus and work on things everyday but with the guidance of Lisa I got my stomach back on track and have learned how to deal with stress in a much more productive and healthy way.

~ Nick, Government Agency

I am a functional medicine professional with 15 years in the wellness industry. I was looking for a quality product and program to help my clients improve their health and well-being. In January 2019, my husband, my son and myself participated in the 7-day juice fast and the results were impressive:

Over 2 weeks I lost 7 pounds of body fat, lost puffiness under my eyes and experienced less muscle and joint fatigue.

My husband, overweight with elevated blood pressure, lost 6 pounds and his systolic BP went down 5 points from 122 to 117.

My son age 31 who struggles with obesity lost 5 pounds initially. He maintained the fast which allowed him to kickstart his cardiovascular workout, and by spring he was able to run again for the first time in a few years.

I recommend the IFK program to all my clients.

This dip is just so delicious. You see, I’ve been struggling with this for 60 years.

~ Terry Nicholetti

I was at my lowest point in my 54 years, not feeling well physically, dealing with intestinal/digestive issues and if that wasn't bad enough, vitiligo. Jodi has helped tremendously and put me on the path to recovery. My digestive symptoms have completely subsided and my pigment is 50% better through a combination of lifestyle change, gut healing, smarter food choices and some skin therapy. I offer my strongest ever recommendation. Jodi truly is an angel.

~ Bruce G

Your cleanse is different and I learned a lot about myself and that I have more power to resist things I know aren’t good for me. I’ve learned new recipes to add to the rotation and eaten things I didn’t think I liked! Whenever I feel hungry, I ask myself 2 questions before I eat (and I tell this to clients): am I really hungry? and if I am, how is this food going to benefit me nutritionally? I’ll be much better about that having gone through this cleanse. 7 Day Cleanse & 21 Kickstart to Wellness Program

~ Lori Allred, Personal Trainer and Run Coach

Thank You for all that you do. It has been remarkable how much you have helped me. It is remarkable how much you help so many people. You have help me change how I eat and my life style. Keep up the wonderful work, you are a wonderful person.

~ Jennifer Trent

I told one of my friends, One of the many benefits is that I eat much better after attending yoga dance. I’m more mindful. Tom called the addition of probiotics in our diet “a miracle. Carpe Diem Dance

First, I must say that Lisa Jackson is my angel. She was referred to me when I was in dire straights and quickly came to my aid with testing and then action. I was having some extreme GI issues and could never be confident that I would not be humiliated during a dinner party or even walking the aisles of a grocery store. We started with some supplements to heal and gut and others to kill off the bad bacteria. It did take several months with stop and go and some charges, but wonderful to know that I had an expert on my side to guide me all the way. Lisa has led me to normal bathroom habits, and I can now go out and entertain at home with no fear. How can I thank her enough for literally changing my life! I am so pleased with all Lisa has done for me and will be happy to speak with anyone wanting more information about my experience.

~ Dale Adler

I love the group on Cultivating Joy; it has opened my eyes to the importance of my own self worth and the need for self-care. The experiment of replacing fear with gratitude has brought me so much happiness and abundance that I have attracted more work, positive people and success.So much that I doubled my income in 2 weeks! Everything has shifted in a really good way. I discovered how valuable I am (and I see myself) is how valuable other people treat me. “ Cultivating Joy

~ Denise Sagastume

My change since Friday is a renewed energy to create meals with healthy natural foods. My 16 year old just said he wanted to eat healthier after I cooked a few really tasty veg based meals in the last few days. He also loves the dehydrated fruit for snacks. But even if he didn’t, I would be hooked! Wellness Inspired Workshops

~ L.N.

I love Yoga Dance! It is an all over, super fun way to strengthen and energize my body and soul. Lisa’s teaching style is fun and informal; she creates space for us to express ourselves and enjoy the flow. Carpe Diem Dance

Thank you for all your expert TLC, and extra help with (my son). You are phenomenal at this and are helping people to make enormous life-changing strides. I'm so impressed with the vast amount of information you've absorbed and can communicate so well and lovingly. Thank you with all my heart!

~ Sally

I have an improved relationship with food. Instead of feeling deprived, you showed me new foods to enjoy. Rather than load up on a lot of meds, we adjusted my diet to align with food sensitivities and deficiencies and woola! Here I am! I am now in a totally new state of life. I am living life to its fullest without fear. To have each day bring joy and happiness is my new goal, thanks to you.

~ Barbara Friedman

This Metabolic Reset Program has truly been a lifestyle alteration for us. I’m down to 122 which I haven’t seen since my intense running days 30+ years ago! My husband is down to 192 which he has not been below 200 since he doesn’t know when. He says he is highly motivated to stay the course! He certainly looks and feels so much better. I am very proud of both of us for mostly sticking with the program. I love Lisa’s mantra of good, better, best. It takes so much of the self judgement out. We both feel so much more invigorated and have seen the results in this past month. We so appreciate what you have done for our physical, mental and emotional health. You have truly influenced our lives and changed and enhanced the lives of so many people. Thank you for resetting my husband and my life.

~ Adreana

This program is well worth the investment! The protocols of self care were wonderful healthy habits to incorporate into my daily routine and were really something I looked forward to (especially the lavender detox bath , body brushing, and nightly gratitude journal). The meals were AMAZING. I enjoyed the variety of food we were provided and the flexibility of the recipes. I have to say this program is hands-down the very best I have ever been on. I felt satisfied and nourished eating the suggested meals and had ZERO cravings which is a miracle in itself! It’s a whole new way of living so there will be growing pains. I’ve experienced a few of them, as with all things new, there will periods where finding balance and finding ways to make things easier on yourself to make the program work for you may have to take place. Baby steps, forgiveness, and moving forward is key.” 7 Day Cleanse & 21 Kickstart to Wellness Program

~ Nicole Paradise Melton

I just want to say I’m so glad I finally decided to use you. Thank you for all you do for me. I don’t even want to tell you this. I'm afraid I’ll jinx myself but I released 7 pounds this week and really can’t believe it. I’m in shock. I’m actually crying writing this text. The struggle has been real for me."

~ Susan

I was reluctant at first but I cannot remember the last time I was this weight and I believe it is sustainable

~ Charles

Thanks so much Lisa, you’re amazing! We call you our health mom lol. We really appreciate your sweetness and hard work in helping us. You really help put us at ease and we feel so good after we talk to you with your encouraging words. My husband is my everything and so you mean so much to me working so hard helping him. You don’t have to do what you do over and beyond, but you do. It doesn’t go unrecognized, we are truly grateful God put you in our path.

I told my kids, “If I had a Lisa 30 years ago, I wouldn’t be dealing with the health issues I have today.

~ Dr. Maryam Seifi, DDS

I spent four years searching for help with my actively spreading vitiligo, and over that time period countless doctors told me the best they could do was to prescribe steroid creams and expensive light treatments - but even then, they said, I was not to expect any repigmentation in the areas where the patches were worst. They never tried to get to the underlying issues, simply saying the causes of vitiligo are unknown. Finding Jodi was like a breath of fresh air. She was confident that we could indeed find the underlying issues at the root of my disease - and solve them in order to achieve repigmentation. I now have pigment returning to my largest white spots. Jodi was able to identify (and correct) a number of other significant health concerns for me as well - her knowledge of nutrition and it's profound effect on our bodies is vast. I highly recommend working with her."
