Testimonial

During that trip, the one-on-one nutrition session really helped me. I’ve been vegetarian for many years and thought I knew how to eat, since I already ate whole, organic foods. The nutritionist, John Bagnulo, looked at what I ate and asked me if I could make some small changes. After four days following his recommendations, I felt a thousand times better. And the food at Kripalu is terrific. I ate the right foods for my body, and I felt satisfied. I was never desperately waiting for the next meal. I also practiced mindful eating and eating more slowly, which made a huge difference. I come back from Kripalu such a happy person, at peace with things.
