Real Stories from Real GreenMind Clients

Every story below started the same way: someone who had been everywhere, tried everything, and was still being told everything looked fine. These are the people who decided to look deeper, and what changed when someone finally took the time to connect the dots.

Apex Program Story

Apex is for clients who have seen multiple providers, run the panels, tried the protocols, and still don’t have an answer. The work below shows what a full investigation can do over time.

AShly’s Story

Worked with: Taryn

Program: Apex

Focus: Weight loss, stress management and food freedom.

“This time last year, I was struggling with my physical and emotional health.

I was seeing a holistic physical therapist for a lower back injury and learned that my body was not functioning as it should and was presenting as chronic pain that I didn’t realize wasn’t normal. I was significantly overweight, exercise and physical therapy wasn’t helping and my relationship to food was poor.

Enter Taryn and GreenMind. I shared my concerns with Taryn and after reviewing bloodwork my regular PCP deemed “normal”, she got to work recommending small lifestyle changes to better the numbers and get to the root cause of the issues I was facing.

She took everything in baby steps, adjusting and tweaking to my tastes and comfort. Once diet/nutrition was nailed down, I hit some mental blocks or emotional bumps in the road and Taryn was right there, holding my hand and sending encouragement.

We tried different methods, recipes and tools until we found what worked best for me. She is always learning something new and using what she’s learned to better help me physically, nutritionally, emotionally and mentally.

I had tried what seemed like everything before I met Taryn - since then, I’ve dropped 30 pounds and 3 pant sizes - and that’s just the numerical gains! I’ve grown more confident in my eating and how to best fuel MY body with clean, healthy foods. I’ve learned how to make better choices for my family as well and the chronic pain is diminishing.

I don’t feel like I’m on a cookie cutter plan with Taryn. She listens to me and my concerns, she looks at my specific numbers and makes recommendations specific to me. I feel like an actual person when I talk to her and she genuinely cares about how I’m doing, even outside of my paid-for appointments.

We have laughed together, cried together and achieved so much together.

Working with Taryn and GreenMind has changed my life forever! If you’re at a loss with your body and how to help it be the best it can be, you’d be remiss to not give GreenMind a try. I can’t recommend enough the life changing experience I’ve had with Taryn!”

Evergreen Program Story

Evergreen is ongoing, personalized clinical support for clients who know something is off and want one expert to connect the dots.

Lacy’s Story

Worked with: Stevi

Program: Evergreen

Focus: Severe gut issues, mold toxicity, hormones, anxiety

“During my sophomore year of college, I began experiencing severe gut health issues that continued to worsen over time.”

I dealt with weight gain, severe anxiety, hormonal imbalances, digestive problems and many other symptoms that felt overwhelming, especially while trying to navigate college. My mom set me up with Stevi, and once I began working with her, I immediately knew she was different from any provider I had seen before. She truly listened to my concerns, validated my struggles, and took the time to understand what my body was telling us. We came up with a plan: specific supplements, changing the way I ate, prioritizing healthy habits and so much more.

Nearly six months into working together, Stevi identified mold toxicity from a college dorm I had lived in. As a young woman navigating college, this diagnosis felt incredibly discouraging. At times, it felt like the health I was working towards was unattainable. Through it all, Stevi guided me through each step of the healing process with compassion and constant encouragement.

She constantly checked in and stood by my side during moments when I felt defeated. I spent around four months learning from Stevi the importance of detoxing, and following the step by step program she made for me in order to combat this diagnosis.

My college experience looked very different from those around me, as I spent nearly two years focused on healing and rebuilding my health. Today, three years later, I can confidently say I am the happiest and healthiest I have ever been.

Stevi helped me understand the deep connection between all the processes in my body and empowered me with knowledge to care for myself long-term. Working with her has been one of the greatest gifts of my life, and her passion and dedication have inspired me to pursue a career in functional medicine and support others on their own health journeys, as she supported me.

Gut Glow Program Story

Gut Glow is our 10-week guided program for women ready to understand exactly what their gut needs.

Adrienne’s Story

Worked with: Taryn and Stevi

Program: Gut Glow

“I was feeling very good from all my work with Taryn. However, I knew that some of the information I had previously learned wasn’t sticking the way I wished it would.”

I am the type of person that needs to go over things a few times till I get it. I also wanted more of a bird’s eye view of digestion, food choices, and health issues than the microscope down on my own issues. I love to understand the entire picture, not just my small segment. I just knew I would learn a lot if I committed to this course and that it would enlighten me in many ways.

I do feel better equipped to make decisions. I realize that good health starts with the gut in every area. We live in a treating-the-symptom society. I am blown away by how the choices we make affect everything.

I am so blessed to know Taryn and Stevi and learn from them. I feel my brain is sharper and I feel healthier and stronger. My food choices are so much better.

This was such a wonderful course. The materials are presented so clearly and make so much sense. Thank you for making it all manageable. It’s a lot of info and the small bites (no pun intended) help to better understand all that goes on inside our digestive system.

This is an incredible resource. Seriously, I feel like I took a college-level course and know so much more. I am so grateful for the personal touch too. The weekly contact is such a value added.

Quick Wins from Across Our Practice

Three short reflections from clients across our programs. Each represents a specific transformation.

“It’s nice to have my kid back.”

My daughter feels a difference. I see a huge difference. Now her emotional control seems pretty normal. No more negativity and tantrums.
— Mother of Evergreen client, child with ADHD
“My daughter has lost almost 20 lbs.”

Thank you so much for all of your insight, wisdom and help. She adores you.
— Mother of Evergreen client, teen with depression
“I woke up and nothing hurt.”

For the first time since I can remember, nothing hurt. I was walking up the stairs and realized my left knee wasn’t hurting. I realized my hands didn’t hurt either. I truly don’t remember the last time that happened.
