With this office's help, my blood pressure is now fabulous! My overall health numbers have significantly improved and I am continuing to learn how to eat well but healthy and be more compassionate to myself with my lifelong struggles. Over 4 months I’ve lost 12 pounds of body fat and a little over 25 pounds overall. I feel much better about myself and am learning how to incorporate a healthier lifestyle into my day to day life!

Melissa helped me when no one else could! If you have any autoimmune issues - she can help!

I worked with Melissa a year ago, and I can now report that I have been symptom free for months. The MRT testing helped identify a major food sensitivity I had no idea about. I struggled with my inflammatory issues since childhood. Now, it doesn’t affect my quality of life at all! Working with her was invaluable to my health and happiness.

Melissa has been my nutritionist for a little over 6 months since being diagnosed with a rare and progressive inflammatory disease. Since day 1 she made herself very knowledgeable on the subject and asked lots of questions to really understand my condition -- I credit her to my significantly improved quality of life and have recommended her to all of my friends and family. Nutrition has completely changed my life and I have Melissa to thank!!!

Bobbie Rowe has been a wealth of knowledge. Her expertise and helpful recommendations have given me immense results only 2 months into working together. I highly recommend incorporating Bobbi into your network of support. She's a delight!

Melissa is incredible at what she does. She was able to take the issues I have been fighting with for years and eliminate them. By utilizing her diagnostics and plan I have been successful in treating the issues I presented to Melissa for and do much beyond that, including weight loss, management of my rheumatoid arthritis and improvement of my mental health. I highly recommend her to anyone one who is looking of for a results driven approach.

Working with Melissa has been very helpful and educational. She guides you through each step of a process to help you figure out what you put into your body affects you and then how to make changes to improve how you function and feel. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help.

I had been suffering from IBS since the age of 9. My entire life has been ruled by whether what I have eaten will cause an IBS attack in which I will have to find a bathroom immediately. The intervention with Melissa has drastically changed my life for the better. I can now eat with confidence that I'm not going to get sick!

Marc K.

I highly recommend Melissa! After a long struggle trying to figure out what exactly was giving me so much trouble (Silent Reflux - who had ever heard of such a thing) and an unnecessary round of antibiotics that just set my digestive system on end, Melissa found the way to get me back on track. I'd lost way too much weight, was feeling terrible and just not thriving. She taught me many things about...

Diana G.

After struggling to get good advice on nutrition, I finally found Melissa after an extensive research into what I needed. Melissa provides such a good framework to understand and adapt actions to a specific case. We are all different, therefore it was important to be very scientific, fact-based to find the best answer to my personal health issues. After three months, I lost significant weight, added muscle mass, got rid of chronic inflammations, and all my blood tests show back-to-normal...

Melissa is a very caring, knowledgeable and helpful person. After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease in Dec, she has helped me immeasurably wade through all the different aspects of getting my body calmed down. What I really appreciate, is the way she presents concepts and suggestions and allowed me time to 'digest' (forgive the pun) the information so I could decide which direction to pursue. Your visit with Melissa will not be wasted. I truly...

Leslie R.

When I started working with the RD at Nutrition Dynamix, my A1C numbers, blood pressure and overall health numbers especially related to fatty liver were affecting my health. I needed to learn how to eat, how to think about food, and basically how to relearn a lifetime of bad eating habits. My blood pressure is now fabulous, my overall health numbers have significantly improved and I am continuing to learn how to eat well but healthy and be more compassionate...

Janice G.

Melissa has helped me tremendously with digestive issues that had been bothering me for several years and which had not improved with any medication prescribed by MDs. Through a new diet plan and probiotic supplement regime I was able to improve my symptoms significantly! Highly recommended.

Michael G.

Nutrition Dynamix not only stopped the bloating and acid reflux that were so troublesome but by making a few changes with Melissa's guidance, I feel so much better-- I have more energy and feel healthier. Melissa is professional, knowledgeable and down to earth-- recognizing what is and isn't realistic in a busy life like mine.

Christy C.

I had an amazing experience working with Melissa over the last 3 months! She helped me with both weight loss, healthy habits and also getting rid of acid reflux and heartburn through diet changes. She was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in getting me on the right tack and already seeing results!

"Working with Amy Mendez has been a game-changer. She took the time to deeply understand my behaviors around food and was excellent at recommending alternatives whenever we hit a snag or needed to pivot. Thanks to her expert dietary and behavioral advice, I'm seeing great results and feel confident moving forward. Highly recommend!"

Laura went over my blood glucose logs in comparison to my food. Great tips and suggestions on what I can do to improve my meals! We're also working on increasing my exercise for blood sugar control.

Melissa has been incredibly attentive to all details of my health issues. She has made my healing journey so approachable and not overwhelming. I have struggled to find medical professionals who will hear me out and offer support towards healing. Finding and working with Melissa has literally changed my life! I could not be more grateful for her. It truly feels like she cares about helping people and she is good at it!

Evie O.

After struggling with gaining weight during menopause and not being able to take it off, I found Bobbi at Nutrition Dynanmix. She has guided me to the right kinds of foods without being overly restrictive. I'm feeling better, eating cleaner and healthier and well on my way to reaching my goal!

Amy K.
Longmont, CO

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with Melissa! She has a wealth of knowledge and a real talent with knowing how to calibrate her expertise. Not once did she talk over my head nor waste time with trite diet fad nonsense. Melissa has a thorough command of the science and a great talent in being able to relay this information at a pace that is appropriate to her client. After years of dieting and doing...

Elizabeth S.

Melissa is really excellent at what she does and is a pleasure to work with. I appreciate her use of technology as well as her use of lab diagnostics -- not just shooting in the dark for solutions! I would recommend her to anyone looking to either improve their health using nutrition or to help address a medical issue that could benefit from nutritional advice and support. Thank you!
