Nutrition With Judy / Testimonials

Barbara W.

“And most importantly she directed me to the root cause of my illness and didn’t just treat the symptoms and put a band-aid on what I was feeling. Instead, we’re actually treating the underlying illness so that I’m actually getting better.”

Corrie R.

North Carolina

“I am coming leaps and bounds and I could not thank her enough for all the support, research and continued information that she continues to give me.”

Victoria P.

New York

“Best support I’ve received physically and mentally over the past 10 years and I am thankful for them… I’m thankful for the work that Caitlin has provided to me over the past year.”

Bryan J.

Maryland

“I was in terrible shape. I tried just about every diet there was out there and I just couldn’t find the right answer until I found Judy.”

Jacie B.

Florida

“I am no longer in pain, I have my brain back, I have my life back, I have my vibrancy back. I cannot thank Judy enough, and her team and the amazing care that they give to each and every client that goes to them.”

Kelly F.

Nevada

“Judy helped me find the root causes and worked with me to create a customized treatment plan for healing. As a result, I’ve been making great progress on my journey towards health and I’ve done it with Judy’s guidance and support.”

Sarah F.

New York

“She’s so positive and really wants everyone to achieve that root-cause healing. I then had answers that I needed to move forward and really help my body feel the best it can on carnivore.”

Health Is Wealth

I’m feeling better than I have in years! Phillip and I realized what a difference it made to not only have an environment without mold, but also a clean environment – once we started cleaning our floors and surfaces of our new apartment regularly, we both really started feeling better. After a few weeks of regular cleaning I passed the VCS test for the first time and it has just been uphill from there.

 

My hormonal cycle was always the biggest health challenge for me and I’m thrilled to say that I’ve been able to get off birth control and have had multiple, regular cycles without mood swings, suicidal ideation, or any of the other very scary symptoms that I had experienced for years. I truly cannot express how happy and relieved I am to be feeling so much better!

 

I still have some symptoms that return if I have an exposure to less than ideal environments so I definitely don’t feel invincible, but I do feel more resilient overall. I was able to start a new job (in addition to working at Carnivore Bar), which is something I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do a year ago, and I’m loving it! I’m working in the leasing office of our apartment complex and it feels great to be able to help others find a place to live that I know is built well.

 

I’m beyond grateful for Judy bringing light to CIRS, I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for her opening the conversation about CIRS in the carnivore community. One’s living environment definitely plays a larger role in their health than I ever thought, and I have so much more respect and value for that part of my life now. CIRS has helped shift my values and priorities a bit, similar to when I first went carnivore and realized I needed to eat meat to feel my best, and I think I will be much more fulfilled in my life because of it and because I’ll know what I need to do in order to feel my best.

 

Health is wealth and I’m so appreciative of the root cause approach that Judy, you, and the rest of her team takes. Thank you!!

More Client Testimonials

I cannot speak more highly of her!! Judy Cho is an incredible resource. Not only is she knowledgable, sensitive, smart, and insightful, she also has full empathy for her clients because she’s been there. I came to work with her after 40+ years of disordered eating and she is the first person I’ve worked with who truly “gets it”, both from the physical and tactical sides of things AND the emotional side. She leads by example and her journey of healing motivated and inspired me to adopt the Carnivore diet to help heal my gut, my overall health, and my relationship with food and my body. She gave me 200% of herself and her follow up notes and instructions were full of precious details related to our session combined with positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy AND nutritional wisdom. I cannot speak more highly of her!!

Julie M. in New York

Judy is a breath of fresh air. Judy is a breath of fresh air in the “meat-based diet” space. Most carnivores think meat based fixes everything and while it is fantastic some can still have digestive / health challenges which go beyond just transitioning or salt intake. She is smart enough to realize this and is a great filter of information collaborating with other like-minded folks such as Elliot Overton and Dr. Robert Cywes . This is why I think her symptom based assessment and recommended protocols are a great place to start troubleshooting issues.

Joe L. in Massachusetts

Went above and beyond expectations. Judy has been incredibly knowledgeable, considerate, and persistent in helping me overcome long-term digestion and other problems. She was very generous with her time and went above and beyond expectations to problem solve and collaborate closely on issues I was having, not giving canned responses or band-aids, but digging deep into underlying root causes. I would recommend Judy to anyone struggling with nutritional or other health issues as a first place to look for help.

Scott M. in Massachusetts

Emily J. in Texas

This was the most thorough health questionnaire I have ever taken! I have been trying to figure out my root cause for several years, working with other doctors and taking blood tests to find out my root cause with no avail. Judy and team found my root cause immediately after taking the SBA! I can’t rave about this enough. What a relief to FINALLY have the answers!

Olivia D. in Arizona

The Symptom Burden Assessments provided a detailed analysis of a complex and huge amount of data about my health that helped Judy indicate the ROOT CAUSE of all my symptoms. It is hard, if not impossible, to find a provider like Judy, who has the meticulous patience and the necessary knowledge to analyze such a big amount of data and provide a treatment plan that actually works.

Chase T. in North Carolina

I had been searching for the root cause of my symptoms for years before I found NWJ’s Symptom Burden Assessment. Having been brushed off by several doctors who only prescribed pills and told me to “eat less and move more”, I was desperate for actual answers. The Symptom Burden Assessment gave me detailed insights into my health that I had never seen before and put me on the path to real healing. The results were tailored specifically to my needs, with invaluable notes from Judy herself. For the first time in my health journey, I felt seen.

Carol M. in Pennsylvania

I sought Judy’s help for digestive issues and took the Symptom Burden Assessment. What an incredible tool it is! Judy’s analysis was very comprehensive and revealed not only the root of the digestive problems but the root of several other issues I’ve been dealing with and just chalking up to aging. Thanks to the SBA and Judy’s expert knowledge and kind, compassionate help I am on the rode to healing. I highly recommend the SBA and Judy’s services.

Lucas D. in Arizona

After 20 years of battling various diseases including diabetes and arthritis, and countless doctor visits in Europe, and US, I kind of lost hope. Every couple of years I would have an arthritis flare, I was bed ridden, and couldn’t walk. Fortunately, I completed the assessment, and Judy found the root cause of all my health issues. I am on the right path now and the treatment works, while I am following the right diet at the same time. I could have save lots of money, energy, and suffering, but I didn’t know about Judy at that time.

Rakesh J. in California

I have been on carnivore diet for about a year however I was having a lot of issues and my healing process was slow. I couldn’t eat foods with histamine and any minor change in my diet would make me sick. Heather was able to give a detailed explanation and was able to prescribe the right medications to fasten my healing process. Judy has been very helpful with the follow up questions I had after receiving the my analysis report. It’s been a month since I got on the protocol and I’m glad to say that my body can now tolerate foods that couldn’t consume before!

Linly C. in Texas

Judy, it was such a pleasure to meet you. I love how hard you work to help people heal. That is hard to find these days! So many doctors just shuffle their clients through. I am grateful you have taken time to listen, dig, and help!

Catie I. in British Columbia

Judy was very thorough and helped me get to root cause healing that I wouldn’t have been able to figure out otherwise. She answered all my questions and offered above and beyond what I needed.

Alex D. in Arizona

I struggled for many years to loose weight, even though I did a lot of fasting and exercise. Judy figured out what was the underlying cause of my health issues.

Amanda K. in Texas

Caitlin was very kind and thorough. I was grateful to have her walk with me through the few weeks I was a customer

Rex T. in Massachusetts

The carnivore/meat-based diet works, but sometimes you need some help. When I took the SBA, I was sleeping 2 hours a night and struggling with extreme eczema (chronic itchiness, sloughing off large flakes of skin, open sores which made showering painful, fiery inflammation). I had been on my own makeshift carnivore diet for several months without seeing health improvements, but in just the few DAYS following my first session with Caitlin running through my SBA, sleep dramatically improved. Within a few weeks, my skin started to heal. Now about two months in, my sleep has completely normalized and my skin is well on its way to full recovery: sores have healed, dry patches are becoming smoother, discoloration is fading, inflammation is almost nonexistent. The SBA is helpful on its own; it is comprehensive and generates lots of data points to start a healing journey. But the SBA with the help of the NwJ team is, in my experience, transformative. With the NwJ team focused on evaluating data, I was able to focus purely on execution and consistency. And with Caitlin readily available and responsive by email, I never felt lost at sea but always supported and coached along the way. With many friends and loved ones generally suspicious about the carnivore diet, the support was indispensable.

Kaitlyn L. in Washington

Her mission is to find root cause healing. Judy Cho is a bright light shining in the darkness. She looks beyond what typical doctors see. Her mission is to find root cause healing. Her inquisitive nature and willingness to push the norms is a great benefit to all who are struggling and have been let down by modern medicine. I have struggled with food intolerance, gut pain, illnesses (mono, strep throat leading to a tonsillectomy, shingles) and a myriad of other symptoms since I was 14. I’m currently 34. Over the years, visits with General Practitioners, Specialists and Naturopaths left me with frustration and more questions than answers. My health continued to deteriorate. In Nov ’20 I began following the protocols outlined in Judy’s book Carnivore Cure. My health has improved in leaps and bounds with a meat-based diet and supplements recommended by Judy. The depth of Judy’s knowledge and ability to look beyond the borders of traditional medicine has truly saved my health and mental well-being. After 20 years of struggling, I am FINALLY healing. Words seem to fall short in expressing my gratitude and appreciation for her work and dedication. It is such a blessing to have Judy as part of my support network. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU Judy, for everything you do!

Rosanne M. in New York

I have been receiving advice from Caitlin for a few months now and have steadily been improving. I’m over 65 and have been dealing with severe constipation, hot flashes, sleep issues and fatigue. I have been a strict carnivore for 10 months with absolutely no cheating. I recently listened to Judy’s interview with Dr. Elizabeth Bright and significantly increased my fat intake and the hot flashes have completely gone away so I am not sleeping through the night. We are still working on the constipation issue and I’m hopeful that it will soon get resolved. I have also recently been diagnosed with CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) thanks to additional testing recommended by Caitlin and that could be contributing to my ongoing problem. Overall I’m very satisfied with the approach to root cause healing and Caitlin’s excellent advice.

Hannah W. in Arizona

I have met with many health practitioners for more than a decade. Get tested, review results, make a protocol, reassessment. I expected this same treatment with Judy and her team, but I was wrong. Shortly after I submitted my test Judy responded with pages and pages of hand typed information. She had to have spent hours looking through my tests to analyze it and make comments. Next her consultation went through line by line with me my results. I had graphics, numbers, highlighted areas to focus on. We met for over an hour! I was given a new protocol and was able to start it immediately. When I hit a rough patch with taking a new supplement, I felt sick on it, I was able yo get a response the same day how to adjust my dosage with no extra appointment cost. The information and care that was provided was beyond my expectations. I have learned so much about my hormones and health from this and have since made a positive change finally in how I feel.

Victoria P. in New York

I have been a struggling vegan that transitioned to carnivore 4 months prior to working with NWJ. I have listened to her podcast always knew I needed extra support, I had turned to multiple failed other carnivore recourses. Working with NJW has been an investment, but I am FINALLY healing my gut thanks to the Symptom Burden Assessment and working with her trained staff Caitlin on a monthly basis to work on pain points I am still having based on the result of my SBA. I would have quit months ago because I wasn’t seeing improvements in my health and stomach issues but thanks to Caitlin and Judy I am finally achieving true gut healing and I am so thankful I decided to invest in my health.

Sarah R. in Iowa

The Symtom Burden Assessment had very thorough questions and after completing it I got the results in a quick time frame. I then met with Healther and Judy and found them both to be so warm and friendly. I felt cared for. Judy discovered a key piece of information that I didn’t yet know about. She suggested further testing to confirm her thoughts and she was absolutely on point. Although there has been some hardships in these new findings, above all they have been such a huge blessing to find because it gives me the chance at root healing. I’m so grateful to Judy and Heather for their kindness and knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend The Symptom Burden Assessment, Judy and her team.

Katie M. in Pennsylvania

She has helped me heal my body, mind and spirit. Judy Cho is not just an NTP. She is an inspirer, a motivator, empathetic, extremely knowledgeable and not to mention professional. As someone who has been treated in the functional medicine/holistic health sphere for over two years now, I highly doubt one would even find functional medicine MDs as competent as she is. I trust Judy with my life, which she has saved on multiple occasions and levels. She has helped me heal my body, mind and spirit. Before I started seeing Judy, I was struggling with a very broken/dysbiotic gut and resulting hormonal imbalances and general body dysfunction. And at the time, I had even been intensively working with a very experienced functional medicine MD for over a year, but I was still feeling very much less than optimal physically and discouraged emotionally. Within a month of working with Judy, I made vast improvements in my digestion and the way I went about my keto/carnivore diet. I continue to experience and achieve new levels of optimal health and healing with Judy’s expertise and guidance. She just gets it: no dogma. She goes above and beyond and asks hard, unpopular questions to get to the truth regarding nutrition and what is actually healthy. I could not have asked for a better provider, am so honored and privileged to be her client and recommend her to everyone who is serious about seeking optimal health and healing.

Jackie W. in Indiana

ALL of my symptoms are gone! In the fall of 2019, I started dealing with serious digestive issues, which became worse in the months that followed. I could not eat anything without having serious bloating, gas, and severe abdominal pain. Even after eating just a few bites, I felt so full that I had terrible discomfort, as well as experiencing terrible abdominal pain. I was brought to tears many times. I also felt constantly sick on my stomach, and I could not sleep, because of the pain and terrible bloating. I went to my family doctor who felt I had all the symptoms of Sclerosing Mesenteritis, a rare digestive disease. I was referred to a Gastroenterologist, who ordered several tests. Nothing conclusive was discovered, but more testing was recommended. After dealing with this for about 4 months, I heard about Judy, from a friend. I completed a long questionnaire, and then had a consultation with Judy over the phone. She was so kind and helpful, and she gave me hope. I started taking the supplements that she recommended, along with following her dietary advice. I saw significant improvement within a month, and my symptoms continued to gradually improve. Now, almost 4 months later, ALL of my symptoms are gone! I can eat a full meal, a variety of foods, and I am sleeping like a baby! I am very thankful for Judy and her knowledge to help me heal my gut. God certainly used her to help heal my body!

Susanne S., MD in New York

I highly recommend Judy for her nutritional expertise. I was drawn to Judy because of her meticulous research, flexibility in approaching the subject of nutrition with an open mind, and her emphasis on the importance of eating meat. As a physician with several thousand patients through 30 years of private practice, I know that when it comes to food, one size does not fit all. However, I have continually observed how many people, especially young women, will avoid eating animal foods for philosophical or ethical reasons. Having been a vegetarian myself once many years ago, I understand this. But I have learned in practice that our bodies do not always care what our personal philosophies are. Many young women will eschew animal foods to their own detriment. This often manifests in complaints of fatigue, anemia- often from iron deficiency-, B12 deficiencies, “air hunger,” etc. Taking iron and Vitamin B12 supplements will help- but for many, it cannot compare with all the nutrient benefits of eating meat, especially red meat. Judy discusses this thoroughly in her excellent book Carnivore Cure. The importance of good quality protein does not end with menopause (when women’s need for iron may be less due to the cessation of the menses). Sarcopenia- the loss of muscle mass and strength- is an unfortunate part of the aging process. It is very important for post-menopausal women to eat enough quality protein to build and maintain muscle. The whole field of longevity medicine- aging with a minimum amount of disease and disability so that we can still do the activities of daily living in our last decade of life- points to the importance of resistance exercise (weight training) and eating sufficient quality protein. Although I do not personally adhere to a meat-only diet, I am increasingly concerned by the emphasis placed on plant-only diets these days. While young adults may be able to handle this type of eating for a number of years, I find it becomes more of a problem as people age and especially a problem for women as they enter menopause for some of the reasons I stated above. I highly recommend Judy for her nutritional expertise when it comes to the value of eating animal foods as part of a healthy diet.

Elissa M. in New York

I was working with my chiropractor who does nutrition for years but felt I was at a standstill. I listened to many people about the carnivore diet which I was on for almost 4 years now but needed some guidance about these continued symptoms. Of all the people I tuned into I found Judy Cho to be very informative. I liked her interviews and the questions she asked her guests. She also seemed to be more humble than many others and more personable, more passionate not to mention very knowledgeable. So I tried the symptom burden assessment test. I found the questions were so very specific, which I liked. It really pointed out symptoms that are rarely acknowledged. So these were GOOD questions and the results back were targeted to the problems. This was so helpful and hopeful. Judy was very accommodating with the email correspondence and got back to me very quickly. I have learned so much about gut health from just dealing with Judy. I am on the supplements she suggested and made some adjustments to them as I went along with Judy’s guidance. They are key for me in getting better, ordering the supplements always goes smooth with emails keeping you posted as to the order. I find this so considerate and professional. Judy is very open to changing things up, she is not a one trick pony and that is so needed when dealing with diet, the gut, nutrition and the ever changing aging bodies we have. She gets it. I would recommend her to anyone with gut issues. The only downside to Judy for me is that she lives in Texas and I live in New York. Thanks Judy and. Blessings to you and your staff.
