I should open by saying Olga helped me lose forty pounds. My blood sugar, which was borderline diabetes, and blood pressure, which was borderline hypertension, are both now within normal range with no meds. I can’t recommend Olga more highly. If I could give eleven starts, I would. Olga met with my wife and me a year ago. She listened to our individual situations and needs and designed nutritional programs custom-fit for each of us. I was impressed with Olga’s scientific knowledge, which incorporates the latest research at the molecular level. Olga’s plan helped me lose the weight and it’s helping me maintain it. I love her recipes on food-remedies.com and have made several of them. If you are looking to lose weight and/or to improve your nutrition and gut health, do yourself a favor and see Olga.
I have seen Olga for nutrition assistance to lower my hemoglobin A1c and also took the Restart class with her. It has been a wakeup call for me and changed my eating habits for the better. I continue to implement the lessons learned during the course and feel great as a result. All of my stomach issues and inflammatory symptoms have subsided since I have removed unnecessary carbs from my diet. I am grateful for her assistance. One great thing about her is that as a nutritionist, it’s about baby steps to reach the goal, not about totally eliminating things you enjoy from your diet.

Nutrition Counseling
Weight Loss
Blood Sugar Regulation

Olga Afonsky is a licensed nutritionist (LN) who uses the healing qualities of foods and lifestyle changes to help her clients lose weight, regulate blood sugar and improve digestion.

After assessing your current state of health and diet Olga will help you set your health goals and figure out specific lifestyle changes and food choices that should bring you to your goals. When she makes a suggestion she always explains why and how it’s is going to help your body. She engages you in creating your plan in a way that at the end of a consultation you have a program tailor-made just for you. She prefers working on changing your eating habits vs putting you on a restrictive diet. She will motivate and encourage you until you are comfortable and happy with your new eating style and have reached your health goals.

Olga believes that the body has an amazing ability to self-heal if we provide it with the right conditions. And REAL food is one of those conditions! Food can be nourishing and it can supply us with all that we need for optimal health. Food can also be used as medicine if we are not in optimal health.

Testimonials

What Our patients have to say

I was surprised at how soothing the process was. The needles are hair-thin and caused very little discomfort. Lying on the table was a nourishing break, and allowed me time to process grief I had been experiencing. Both the treatment and my discussion with Dr. Safayan afterwards truly helped. I felt invigorated for days! Acupuncture is now a regular part of my care

Dr. Threlkel is an incredibly caring, intelligent, and intuitive doctor. She has helped me tremendously with debilitating chronic hormonal and gastrointestinal issues. I feel like I have gotten my life back! I am grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to others.

I highly recommend Restorative Health, a practice that bridges the knowledge and intricacies of Eastern and Western approaches to health care. In addition to being an excellent internist and preeminent acupuncturist, Dr. Safayan is a masterful teacher who takes your questions seriously. My visits often seem like master classes as he takes time to help you understand what is going on in the body when you are unwell. You are a validated partner in the process of your health care rather than a patient whose health is under the management of an indifferent outsider. I have benefited a great deal from acupuncture and prolotherapy has healed a chronic shoulder problem.

Dr. Safayan is a rare breed in today's healthcare system. He actually pays attention, listens to everything you say, and gives you a lot of time. When was the last time you had a doctor sit and talk to you for more than 10-15 minutes? He'll give you his time and has great bedside manner. I would highly recommend him and his team.

I'm very lucky that I found Dr. Safayan about 9 years ago. He does his best at finding out the cause of the problem instead of immediately giving a prescription to treat the symptoms. On my recent visit he successfully diagnosed me with the urological problem, when urologists could not figure out what was going on. He made me a believer in alternative methods too. My torn meniscus was completely cured by prolotherapy. He also treated me for severe fish allergy that I had since I was one-year-old. Every time I eat fish at home or at a restaurant now I'm amazed at the results.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Safayan for 6 years. I initially came seeking alternatives to taking drugs that had potential serious side effects for my arthritis. Instead of treating the symptoms, he suggested we look at the “bigger” picture to find out what caused my body’s reaction. Turned out I was allergic to some common foods, and avoiding them cleared my flares up completely. NAET treatments have also helped with my spring allergies and I’m able to go biking and hiking instead of staying indoors. I had a very strong allergy to fish all my life and decided to try NAET for that. I eat salmon quite often now and it still amazes me each time that I can. Also, I was able to avoid a surgery for a torn meniscus, thanks to prolotherapy performed by Dr. Safayan. Thank you for helping me to stay healthy!

Annie not only helped me understand why I wasn’t sleeping well, but provided me with concrete steps to combat the problem. She worked with me to gradually undo negative thought patterns that exacerbated my insomnia and empowered me to make simple lifestyle changes that helped me achieve my goals. The work was not easy but with patience and persistence, my time with Annie was well spent and I feel healthier and better able to tackle sleep challenges in the future.
