Achieve Lasting Weight Loss.

Olga is phenomenal...she has helped me take doable steps that fit into my lifestyle to feel better, lose weight and improve my health overall!

Reaching out to Olga was one of my best decisions this year! I had some changes with my metabolic markers and knew that I needed to make some changes to prevent further issues as I age. Olga is wonderful to work with and meets you where you are - she helped me make lifestyle shifts and changes in simple ways without losing the ability to have fun and let loose once in a while. She was invaluable in educating me on how my current nutritional habits were playing out in my body and how I needed to adjust as I age without losing the ability to enjoy life and also manage curveballs when life gets challenging. I am very grateful to Olga and would highly recommend her if you are looking to make sustainable nutritional changes (lowering A1C1, managing pre-diabetes, weight control, etc.). It will be one of your best decisions too!

I achieved excellent results working with Olga over a few months. While I considered myself a healthy eater, as a 55-year-old woman, an annual physical exam revealed the need to reduce cholesterol levels and lose at least a few pounds. I appreciated Olga's grounding and focus on the science of nutrition with a pragmatic approach that took into account my lifestyle without recommending severe restriction or fads. After only a series of sessions, I now have greater insight into what causes my weight fluctuations, how to maximize nutritious options while being satisfied, and how to maintain progress while traveling. Since working with Olga, a follow-up blood test revealed that I am now back in a recommended cholesterol range; I lost (and maintained the loss even while traveling) of 12 pounds and a before and after glucose monitoring revealed lower average sugar levels. If you want encouraging accountability, grounded in science and practicality, I highly recommend Olga. I had the very best experience, and I'm sure you will, too.

Olga is absolutely lovely to work with. I worked with her to help adjust my diet postpartum, and I could not be happier with the outcome. I have lost 15 pounds and counting in a couple of months and dramatically changed my eating habits without sacrificing any foods I love. In fact, working with Olga hasn't felt like a sacrifice or a "diet" at all. Olga provided incremental, practical guidance specific to my needs and lifestyle that was easy to implement and will be totally sustainable over the long term.

I had an excellent experience with Olga. She helped me to change my eating habits after my gallbladder was removed. Also directed to excellent supplements to aid me, in light of surgery. She is straight forward, and her website/ food tracking tool is very good.

I have been EXTREMELY pleased with nutritionist Olga Afonsky. I was referred by a good friend who had very successful results with her. I was not looking for a miracle diet to quickly lose weight. I was not looking for weight-loss drugs. I wanted to lose a meaningful amount of weight by adjusting my eating choices and overcoming some terrible eating habits that I had perfected over many, many years. I found Olga to be an educator, advisor and nutritionist coach to help me do just that. Her approach was based on her vast nutritional knowledge, her understanding of our various attitudes towards food and was based on common sense. She was a great listener and communicator. Olga couldn’t do it for me. She could pass on her knowledge and experience, but it was up to me if I expected to see results. I was highly motivated and compliant in taking her advice and suggestions. For 6 months we met regularly via Zoom and she helped me understand the consequences of my food choices and the direct impact those choices had on my weight and health. Olga’s approach was not a cookie-cutter, “follow these 10 steps to success.” Everything was personalized for my situation and progress. Olga made valuable recommendations and continuously helped expand my knowledge and she continuously suggested adjustments along the way. What were my results? I lost 35 pounds (17% of my weight) in 4 months and have maintained that weight loss plus-or-minus two pounds for the last 2 months. Olga didn’t give me strict guidelines that I had to follow. No, she helped me change many bad habits and replace them with a flexible, doable, common-sense approach to eating, food selections and to nutrition. I never felt deprived. I’ve eliminated snacking and am eating healthier, more balanced meals. It’s taken time and effort, but I believe I know what to do and how to do it and look forward to many years of better health. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, caring nutritionist, I highly recommend Olga Afonsky. She’s a highly professional, extremely knowledgeable nutritionist who will, if you are highly motivated, help you learn what you need to know and do to eat healthier and to lose weight. Equally importantly, Olga will give you the knowledge and tools you will need for better long-term health and well-being.

Similar to other reviewers, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Olga. Her expertise and insights helped me make immediate changes and incorporate more healthy habits to realize quick, sustainable results by sticking to an easy plan that was not a major lifestyle change. She is adept at honing in on your specific issues and helping you understand and make changes to how you eat and setting healthy and realistic goals. I lost 10+ lbs in the first 2-3 months without having to deprive myself of anything. Not only have I lost weight and maintained it, but I have the knowledge and tools to keep it going on my own after working with her for 4 months. She is also incredibly kind, non-judgmental and a true delight. Easily 5+++ stars.

Great resource. Helped me achieve my weight loss goal. Lost 10 pounds in the first two months.

Absolutely amazing. I could say a million great things about working with Olga but lets get down to the facts. 2% point drop in A1c and 10+lb weight in 3 months!!! As someone fighting type 2 diabetes, liver issues and more, I was looking for a caring and knowledgeable nutritionist that could ensure my diet wasn't a hinderance to my ongoing care. Olga brought a holistic approach to my issues and she devised a plan that resulted in my numbers showing a marked improvement. I can't thank her enough for her help. If you are looking for a nutritionist, do not hesitate to reach out to Olga, she is there for you!!!!

I was very pleased with my experience working with Olga! She offered concrete advice catered to my needs and goals, and she was very respectful and professional. I would highly recommend her.
