From a past client that gave me permission to share her daughter’s picture and thoughts about her experience during the pandemic:

“Before I met Annette O’Neill, I was unhealthy. I used to go to the hospital and ICU often for problems like my ulcer. I also had some bloating, gas, and migraines. Now, all of these issues have subsided and disappeared. I am healthy and happier with eating clean. This includes a low FODMAP and gluten-free plan. Even during this time of the pandemic, Annette has motivated me to stay healthy while still at home. Now I have an amazing lifestyle and an even better and easier relationship with my family. My daughter even wanted to share a picture to show how happy we are!”

“My name is Tara. I came to Annette to lose weight back in June of 2023. I weighed 277 pounds and now I'm 243 pounds and it's September. I had to prepare for a very delicate surgery and was recommended by Annette that a balanced approach with all 3 macros was important. I have been doing the vibrant shakes during the day and 1-2 snacks in the afternoon. As well as a meal at dinner time with salad. It was sustainable and it worked! as long as you stay committed and stick to the program. I'm living proof and I wouldn't be getting my double lung transplant without her. Thank you so much!!

"Annette is a very knowledgeable, dedicated, & caring Nutritionist. She knows what she's talking about, gives you every resource she has for you to learn more, provides recipes, highlights the positive you do to keep you motivated which is very reinforcing, provides follow-up appointments, & truly wishes the best for her clients. My work schedule is very time-consuming & I have been off & on the horse with the plan as a result, but she highlights the good in every step I take & it leads to keeping me not only getting back on track but becoming more committed & knowledgeable. I have been working with her for the past 6 months & she is an outstanding practitioner who lives the lifestyle & empowers others to reach their goals."

“Over the last few years, I really began to struggle with my eating. My therapist recommended I see a Nutritionist to better educate me. Annette has been so patient and understanding of my disorders and helping me work around them and grow. She has taught me about macro-balancing, and healthy fats, and has helped me add more complex carbs to my diet. She has helped me gain so much more motivation to be healthier. It’s a long road to recovery but I’m thankful for Annette and get support!”

“I have been living with an eating disorder most of my life. When I decided to seek the help of a dietitian, I must say I was apprehensive. But Annette put me at ease from the first time we met. She has a gentle and kind way about her, and at the same time very educated in how to approach someone who has struggled as I have. I feel comfortable with her and very hopeful that she can help me so I can completely be free of this eating disorder.”

“I decided to see a nutritionist due to the fact that I couldn’t gain weight & I wanted someone who could help me find the right kind of foods I needed in order to gain weight. I found Vibrant Nutrition & Wellness online & was very impressed with their website & with Annette’s background. She is so understanding about what I’m going through. She’s very patient with me & I felt comfortable talking to her from the first time I met her. I’ve only had 2 appointments with her so far but she’s helped me a lot already & I plan on continuing to have many more appointments with her. I encourage anyone looking for a great nutritionist to see Annette. I guarantee you’ll be happy you did.”

“I really appreciate all the help Annette has provided to me as I've been on a journey to improve my health and my overall habits with nutrition. Annette has made things like grocery shopping and finding time to care for me much easier for me and I've been able to lose some weight under her care! I feel better (especially after such a long time under the pandemic) and I feel more confident to take on my days. Thank you!

I forgot to mention the access I've had to Living Plate Rx! This website has made it so easy to meal plan and organizes what I'll eat in a day without breaking my head over it. Annette was kind enough to allow me a month's free access to it and it's been going so well and I feel like I have more time to do other things than to organize what I eat. Definitely recommend this service!”

“After trying to manage my weight by searching for ideas online, I figured I should transition to a healthier lifestyle, and that’s when I decided to see a nutritionist. I searched several that were nearby but who also seemed to be trustworthy & certified. Finally, I came across Vibrant Nutrition & Wellness. Several things caught my attention, such as medical nutrition therapies, and I like that they accept medical insurance. Also, I live with an autoimmune disease, and there are foods that I should avoid & those that are beneficial to me. But I had a hard time trying to figure this out on my own. I opted to make an appointment, and I am so glad that I did. Our first encounter was extensive, and I was given forms to complete that asked about my weight, my medication list, what foods I liked/disliked. In addition, Annette requested recent labs/bloodwork to view my levels (e.g., cholesterol, my iron + vitamin D levels, and so on). I was given a well-thought-out plan for meals & a blueprint to how to stay on the healthy track as far as my nutrition goes. We set small yet realistic goals, and I was able to follow them. And once I met the initial goal, we put another one into place. The best thing is that I can go at my own pace, yet this motivates me to stick to the routine daily. I see progress & I feel it. If there are any questions before the following appointment, I can send a message and receive a response in a relatively short amount of time. I appreciate how she does not mind when I talk about things more than once. I really can’t thank Annette enough for all of her help and guidance in moving my life where I would like to take it. Everything feels like this was the right decision for me.”

“Annette O’Neill’s professionalism, knowledge, and sincerity, combined with the care she put into every session truly improved my life. I was 260 pounds and suffered from Diabetes. Thanks to her guidance, and encouragement, how she coached me every step of the way and gave me the best advice, I lost 100 pounds. Thanks to you, I now eat healthier, exercise every day, and feel and look younger than ever, but best of all my diabetes is now under control – no more pills. Thank you Annette for reversing my diabetes. I also have more energy and I am no longer depressed. Annette continues to check on me through the years. Thank you so much”

“I had an exceptional experience with Annette of Vibrant Nutrition. She was referred to me during the Pandemic . We had several Zoom sessions and multiple email exchanges. I connected to her immediately and felt so supported by her. She would send me pictures of items for easy location in the supermarket and she would send supportive messages at each exchange. She is positive and engaging. I highly recommend her as a nutritionist and a personal cheerleader . I was very successful while under her care. Her support encouraged me to push myself.”

“Annette was fabulous! She was able to get me everything I needed to jumpstart my journey to good health. She started me out with an interview to talk about foods that I liked, then she used that information to make a wonderful meal plan just for me. We have our weekly visits where we set goals for the next meeting. This was the first time in my life I was able to truly lose weight without feeling like I was starving myself. It was a pleasure to work with her. I wish I could have her forever.”

“I’ve been extremely pleased with my experience with Vibrant Nutrition. I’ve been to several nutritionists in the past but I’ve always felt like I was being judged if I was struggling. Annette is the complete opposite. She really listens to what you have to say. If something on your eating plan isn’t working, she always has another option for you. She’s a real professional and really knows her stuff but she’s also warm and friendly and an all-around nice person. I’m so glad that I chose Vibrant Nutrition to help me in my weight loss journey!”

“During my annual physical my blood test results came back with elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. My primary care physician suggested that I go on medication to bring my numbers down. In researching cholesterol-lowering medications and the side effects that may occur, I decided that I would modify my diet to achieve my goals.

Working within my health insurance I was presented with quite a few nutritionists. The initial reason I selected Vibrant Nutrition & Wellness was the professionalism of the website. After my first consultation with Annette O’Neill, I was certain that I had made the right decision. Annette was very attentive to my concerns and eagerly helped design a plan for me to obtain my goals. During our follow-up conversations, Annette’s encouragement and kindness reinforced my belief that I had made the right decision. After just two months of working with Annette, I went for a follow-up blood test. The results far exceeded all of my expectations. I was able to lower my total cholesterol by 63 points and triglycerides by 71 points.

Under Annette’s guidance, I made a significant improvement to the quality of my life, and with the information that she has provided me, I have no doubts that I will remain focused and moving forward.”

“I went to Annette as I have been struggling to get back on track with a healthy lifestyle. I have numerous food allergies and navigating them can be so overwhelming. Annette is very knowledgeable about food and how it nourishes the body. She was able to come up with a sustainable food plan for me that included foods that I liked. She also taught me the importance of being ok with not being perfect 100% of the time. Since starting with Annette, I have learned a lot about how nutrition affects my body and have been successful in losing weight.”

“Miss Annette is a wonderful kindhearted woman who loves what she does. I have learned so much about my overall health and how she encompasses the entire life of making sure that I am balanced. I now see how weight loss is not just about eating but how being balanced and healthy food is key. I never thought that I would have been off-balance is the reason why I am not able to lose weight. Meaning that not having self-love affects self-sabotage. Miss Annette helped me realize that. I now am putting into practice to start loving myself will help me. Thank you. From yours truly, you can't be afraid to live. “

“I have nothing but good to say about "Vibrant" and the excellent compassionate care they provide.
I have tried many different ways to lose weight and have always failed.
"Vibrant" taught me how to understand the food I eat and how my body works with this food.
I have lost weight and continue to lose more consistently until eventually will reach my goal with "Vibrant".
"Vibrant" treats you like a human being not a number. They do it with two simple ingredients: encouragement and care.”

“When I came to Annette, I had been recently diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia, a rare disorder that causes your blood sugar to drop paradoxically in response to carbohydrates. Between my fluctuating blood sugar, severe IBS and motility issues, all of which made food and eating very anxiety-inducing things for me, Annette had her work cut out for her. Because of my complex case (I also have genetic and autoimmune disease), I was nervous for our first visit, but I quickly realized I was in good hands. Annette was incredibly attentive and took detailed notes through the whole visit, all while providing thorough explanations I could understand about how I needed to balance the different food groups and macronutrients. It was a huge relief to leave with a list of groceries I could be sure I could eat. Again, even just thinking about food had become stressful by that point. My initial list of approved foods was incredibly short, but I followed her meal plan, and within mere days my blood sugar began to stay within normal limits more often than not. In just over a month, my blood sugar stopped dropping below 70, even overnight. I never would have imagined that things could turn around so quickly, especially given the fragile state I had been in, but in the hands of the right provider, they most certainly can. I still have all of the issues mentioned, but thanks to Annette's expert guidance, it is mostly under control. Whether your case is complex or not, I cannot recommend her enough! She has literally turned my life around! “ Destiny. H.

“Now, I have an interesting story for you when i still lost weight when i have sprained my ankle and have been in a boot and on crutches for 2 whole months. I have lost 10 pounds all from Ms.Annette O'Neill. And yes it has been a journey with with my foot but Ms.Annette has made it easy for me. when I have hurt my ankle I thought that all my hard work was gonna come back on me. But at the end I ended up actually losing MORE!! And when I have started I was about 220 pounds and now I am 193 pounds! I can't thank Ms.Annette enough, if I have lost 27 pounds in the first 2 and a half months, i am excited to see how i will look like in the next 4 months of summer.”

“I have wanted to share my experience with Ms. O’Neill. I have been trying to lose weight since i was about 9 or 10 years old and i was overweight. I have always did exercise (daily) and i have never got anywhere with it. I was giving up with it. I would lose a pound and then the next day I gain more than what i lost. And now that i am almost twelve years old i knew that i had to lose weight somehow so that i can grow up happy and healthy. So my mom started searching and that’s when she came across Ms. O’Neill. When we scheduled to go see her i was really worried because i had a goal that i wanted to lose weight by the summer of 2019. When we actually started the diet she never made me stop something that i really wanted. She replaces it with something else that i like and is also very healthy. In the first two weeks i went with her i have lost 7LB. I was very happy at that point but i still needed to lose more. I kept going with her and in the first 6 weeks i lost OVER 20 lbs! I was very proud of myself and still am. I really thank Ms. O’Neill for changing my life.and support me throughout my journey.”

Hi Annette!

“Thanks so much for your help! I gained no additional weight since I saw you last! I guess I lost gain as baby gained weight.  My GD was completely controlled by diet, my glucose reading 93 during labor. I switched my care over to a midwifery group and it was the best decision I made. They monitored my blood sugar without instilling fear, didn't obsess over my baby's predicted size, and didn't threaten me with a c-section. Because of this I got my VBAC without medical interventions or complications on July 25th. Yes she was a big baby at 9 lbs 4 ounces but the doctors were wrong to think I could not push her out.   I do believe my diet and exercise regime helped me a ton during labor.   And I think I am about 10 lbs lighter than when I became pregnant! Sincerely  Alexandra D.

07/20/17:

Ms. O'Neill,

 “I am just sending this to you to say Thank You!   I am doing very well with the meal plan that you have provided. The meal plan is very easy to use.  I have increased my activity level as you requested and I feel so much better. YAY!!!!!! I had swelling in my ankles due to water retention when I came to see you, but not anymore!  I got new sneakers, incorporated more fruit and veggies into my diet.   I measure everything that I am going to eat for the day, and do meal prep every day. I am amazed because I have not been having sugar or salt cravings like I  typically do, I know you told me this would happen. I also don't feel as stressed with work as I once did. I am more focused and energized. I want to lose weight more than I have ever wanted anything.   Christy D.

“I went to Annette with a whole bunch of weight that I was looking to lose.  Didn't know what exactly to expect as I had seen a nutritionist before and it wasn't a good fit.  When I walked in the door, I was greeted by a warm welcome.  Things were off to a great start.  As we began to go through some history,  I knew I made the right choice.  Annette is kind, compassionate, understanding, and truly wants to see success in her clients.  We did a weigh in and went over the important necessities such as getting physical activity in with the meal plan.  She really spent time with me - answered all my questions and I felt supported.  She told me to call/text/e-mail her with any questions, including if I was shopping in the store and had questions about a food product.  I left with all the materials in my hand to succeed.  At my first follow-up weigh in she commented on being able to see the weight loss.  I got on the scale for the first time in a month and I had lost 10 lbs!,  I don't know who was more excited, myself or Annette!  I got a high five, a hug, and expressions of joys from her.  After stepping off the scale, she commented - I knew you could do it.   "Slowly you'll get to your goal weight which is the healthy way".  I have to say this has been the best experience of my life; not only does she focus on weight loss but she takes into account other medical factors such as hypertension, PCOS, and a gluten allergy.  She is more than a nutritionist - she is a woman who truly cares for her clients and is 100% there for you on your journey.  I definitely recommend her to all who are looking to see somebody, she's the whole package and more! You found your coach in her.   Sincerely, Wendy D.

"Best Nutritionist"

"When I met Ms. O'Neill in 2013, I was at my lowest point in my life.  My health was failing along with other problems.  Ms. O'Neill is more than a Nutritionist, she's a counselor when you need a shoulder she is there on and off the clock.  Always has her ears open to your issues rather then just a Nutritionist.  On a personal level, Ms. O'Neill is VERY Sweet and has compassion for all of her family (Clients).  She treated me just like we were part of her own family on a one-to-one basis or as a group (with her support groups).  She never make you feel unimportant.  She gave the best advice and always and I mean always made sure I was following my meal plans for better health.  So if you are anyone who is thinking about joining our "Family", come on in and get the best new first day of your life with Ms. O'Neill".  Sincerely, Isabella, R
