“Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”​

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

AMANDA A.:

Tanja is a phenomenally gifted nutritionist turned friend who offers sound advice. I went to see her while pregnant with my first child, and as a vegan, it was inspiring to hear her positive outlook. She put my mind at ease several times by reminding me of what I was doing correctly and incorrectly, as well as where I needed to improve. She gave me invaluable vitamin advice. Her product expertise astounds me.

On a different note, my son is almost two years old, and my hair was falling out during postpartum, which was heartbreaking, and she recommended foods and a vitamin that, believe it or not, repaired my hair in 5 weeks!!

She's also given me invaluable advice on what supplements my vegan son should be taking. When it comes to which vitamins to give your child as a first-time parent, your head will spin, but she's effortlessly assisted me in navigating what to give my son.

Tanja is responsible of our good health!


LAURA K.:

Tanja is a master nutritionist with tremendous depth of knowledge and equally fantastic interpersonal skills. She has helped me over the past 6 years in managing my diet as it related to changing health issues. Tanja is so thoughtful and caring.  She understands how difficult it can be to make changes to your eating habits and finds a way to meet you where you are.  I find her approach very motivational.  Over the last few decades, I have worked with several nutritionists who were treating family members.  None of them came close to Tanja in terms of their knowledge, information sharing, and thoughtfulness. She goes above and beyond every time!

DON AND LAUREEN M.:

My husband and I came to Tanja after leaning that we both had high cholesterol, and he also had high triglycerides and was overweight.  We knew we needed to make some changes.  After reviewing our medical information and asking us questions about our goals, she put together a detailed, individualized plan for both of us.  It was easy to understand and made so much sense.  She was very responsive to any questions we had and always got back to us quickly.  Six months later, and I have lowered my bad cholesterol by 30 points and increased my good cholesterol so that I don’t need to go on medication! This was my main goal, and I lost ten pounds in the process.  My husband was able to lower his bad cholesterol by 50 points, his triglycerides are back in normal range, and he has lost 40 pounds! His cardiologist is thrilled.  We are so grateful for Tanja’s help and guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to learn how proper nutrition can help heal the body.  Her advice was truly life changing for us both.

KATHY W:

I was seeking information about heart healthy nutrition for a friend who'd recently become unwell. I had a variety of questions, having been interested in nutrition for years and done some research ahead of time. Tanja responded to my inquiry quickly. We scheduled a consult. Tanja showed concern, offering many suggestions while being professional, knowledgeable, generous and kind during our brief conversations. It was really productive for me and would recommend Origins of Health, LLC and Tanja Samalya as one resource for you if you want to learn about nutrition and improved health.
