Mission Statement & Philosophy: Stella Metsovas integrates research-backed information to create the ultimate, dietary-prescription based on your unique biochemistry, lifestyle, and physiology. No meal plans or calorie-dependent diets, just individual, specific, nutrition.

Methodology: “Individual. Specific. Nutrition”

Individual: Comprehensive analysis is generally overlooked in clinical practice. It’s imperative to identify imbalances and/or issues related to digestion, metabolism and lifestyle – by examining data provided by the client

Specific: Fad diets come and go. The multi-billion-dollar-a-year diet industry constantly looks for strategies to lure in money from consumers; all the while misleading them into thinking they are getting personalized diets. The most accurate personalized approach is to use diagnostic measures, such as:

Respiratory testing: to figure out resting expenditure and metabolic rate

Blood testing: to understand underlying micronutrient deficiencies

Stool testing: for yeast imbalance and gut-transit issues

Genetic testing: salivary tests for hormones and their metabolic influences (e.g., cortisol and digestion)

Nutrition: “One man’s food is another man’s poison.” Understanding nutrient interactions within our bodies is key to achieving good health. Nutrition is the foundation to optimal health.

BEFORE 174 LBS.
LOST 12 LBS.!
BY EATING LESS WHITE FLOUR

Jim Nesbitt cross-trained five days a week and was fairly trim at 174 lbs. Except, he says, “my belly stuck out.” Frustrated, the Tustin, Calif., computer network broker, 46, hired nutritionist Stella Metsovas, who noticed he ate a lot of floury foods. “I love my pizza, pasta and bread,” says the dad of 7-year-old twins.

He now embraces high-protein snacks like nuts and drinks less wine but still eats his favorites in moderation. “I’ll have pizza with my kids maybe twice a month.” The result? “For the first time in 30 years, I have a flat stomach.”
