From P.C who lost 10 lbs in 7 days : I probably don't need to be on as much blood pressure medicine anymore...which is a good thing. Also, when in the hospital they tested my sugar - they've completely taken me off the time release insulin I take @ night and reduced my daily insulin by 2/3 - now that's what I call results!
I have had bloating and digestive problems my entire life. After the 30 day plan I now know each and every food that makes me feel unwell. Not only tat but I have lost 16 pounds.I have never felt better and I am sending my whole family to you! G.M.

If anyone has ever doubted that they could lose weight in a healthy way and actually be able to maintain it, then you must come and see Lyn at Neighborhood Holistic for a nutrition consultation. I have gone through many diet fads that worked for a quick fix, but always struggled with how to keep the weight off permanently without depriving myself of the foods my body needs. When I went to see Lyn, I didn't know how amazing this life style change would be. I lost 20 pounds in 2 months,have learned so much about the way my body digests and processes different foods. I not only feel good but I also feel so much more in control of what I am putting into my body. The best part is that Lyn works with you step by step to help you figure this out - so you’re not alone in the process. Y.P.
I have been a migraine sufferer for all my life. Seeing Lyn-Genet has kept my migraines from coming back! Thanks to her work and the techniques she taught me I have only had 1 migraine in an entire year! Sarah S
I never thought losing weight would be this easy, you're right this is not a diet but a new way of looking at food. It has changed my relationship with food! I'm down 30 lbs in two months and the weight is still coming off. P.S. Love the new menus! They are easy to prepare and taste like gourmet food! G.L.
I had postpartum pregnancy pounds that I was aiming to shed. The cleansing diet addressed this issue and many more. However, the most remarkable aspect is its positive impact on my family's life - it has totally transformed our dietary habits. We have learned what our bodies are sensitive to, what makes us gain weight, and the key perhaps, how to keep it off in a natural way!

I have also been advised on herbal/homeopathic medicines to treat insomnia, cold sores and allergy, and I have achieved excellent results without having to resort to any kind of chemicals found in traditional medicines, which were not even helping me out. NM
I came to Lyn-Genet in February 2010 for a nutritional consultation. My hormones were tragically out of balance after having suffered a miscarriage. Within two weeks I had lost eight pounds and I could feel my body begin to find balance. Within four weeks my cycle was back! I had energy that I thought had been lost forever, my skin looked amazing and though I was ecstatic, the best was yet to come.
Lyn-Genet was amazing through the whole process. The menus were delicious and easy and spurred my own creativity in the kitchen. Any questions I had were answered promptly as we emailed several times a day.
After about 6 weeks I had lost 12 pounds but then the weight loss stalled. I was determined not to become too frustrated over it as I was still feeling great and knew that the weight would come off in time. The only problem was that I hadn’t started my next cycle. Low and behold, I am pregnant again!
I truly feel that under Lyn-Genet’s guidance, hormonal balance was achieved and I was able to conceive again. If you’re considering seeing Lyn-Genet for a nutritional consultation, call her today! It will change your life!

Thank you so much for the 3 phase menu plan ! I have kept off the weight and I feel amazing. Today, for example, I am wearing a pair of pants that I last wore when I was 25!!!! Vanessa A
NH is an important community resource for Central Harlem. Now, more than ever, stress reduction and maintaining good health is important to those living in urban areas. Yet staying healthy becomes more and more of a challenge. Gym memberships, regular massage, yoga and the like are still considered luxuries to many people I know. As disposable income diminishes, it has been very difficult to retain services and participate in healthful activities. NH is committed to its community and its mission to keep people well! They offer scholarships to low income individuals to participate in yoga, meditation, dance, massage therapy and other wellness services. I personally have taken advantage of this offering. I feel extremely grateful that the financial scholarships exist. Anon
I am writing on behalf of Neighborhood Holistic. The staff at the center are not afraid to push themselves and possess a determination to succeed that is inspiring! PS 180 has worked closely with NH for several years now; staff, parents and students have taken classes either on site or at PS180. These classes have been free or low cost. Without this generous discount, our families would not have had the opportunity to share in this type of programming.
It is truly inspiring to work with such a dynamic organization in an area that is so often overlooked. NH can best be described by this quote from The Heart Of Leadership "effective leaders are always alert to the deeper issues agitating beneath a seeming rational veneer of activity. They read between the lines to struggle to find what's really going on. Once they get a lead..they ponder how to try and shape or reshape existing realities". I believe this quote sums up Neighborhood Holistic. ZV
Last year, I was the elected President of the Henry Street School for International Studies’ Parents’ Association. Our parent participation over the previous three years had been dismally low and in an effort to build community with mothers on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, I reached out to a number of NYC’s yoga centers requesting assistance. The idea was to offer all female caregivers of students a healthy and stress-free reason to come into the building, get to know one another and feel welcome-- thus, leading them to an increased involvement in other school sponsored learning and activities with their children. Although I contacted no less than eight organizations, Neighborhood Holistic was the only business entity to respond. Problem was, the Henry Street School Parents Association had extremely limited funds , as a low income community we could ill afford the market-place cost of yoga classes-- it was understandable when no other yoga centers showed interest in helping us achieve our goal.

From the first introduction to Ms. Lyn-Genet Recitas of Neighborhood Holistic, the executive board of the Parents Association knew we had met an angel in business. She not only brought a vast knowledge of Yoga, but a true interest in us, and a determination for sharing this healthy activity with our community of color. Best of all, because of her savvy business acumen, she created a plan that offered weekly classes at the school for as little as $2, providing the attendees signed up for a minimum of three class sessions. While I’m sure the classes were provided at a financial loss to Neighborhood Holistic, the individual attention and benefit of the instruction provided to us was phenomenal. Almost all of the mothers, grandmothers and aunts were first timers to yoga and they absolutely loved it! The classes were looked forward to and brought us together in a unique way. We bonded, and mothers who had previously been absent from the Parents Associations monthly meetings were suddenly engaged, showed up to volunteer and participated in a host of other school activities. Achieving our goal to create a sense of community and increased parent participation was priceless, and this accomplishment would not have occurred without the yoga classes. I am indebted to Neighborhood Holistic. Benita R.
