Lacy’s STORY
“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."

ASHLY’S STORY
“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!”

ADRIENNE’S STORY
“One of the best decisions I have ever made was to start working with Taryn.”
I didn’t know it at the time. I was trying to fix an upset stomach that had been going on for months. What began as a single-issue visit turned into an entire change in my eating habits, the way I look at nutrition, and a mental overhaul that has impacted every area of my life.
After healing my stomach, which took care of so many sensitivities & GERD, we addressed the pre-diabetes that had been plaguing me for years. I seriously doubted I would make much headway since I was a healthy eater and had good habits. Diabetes runs in my family, but at least I could say I gave it a shot. This is where everything turned around for me. Taryn altered my diet with changes I never thought possible. Was there work involved…of course! However, I was never dieting! I had freedom and was eating normally. In fact, I was thinking about food entirely differently. I have lived for decades thinking about food. I was sick of it. Honestly, I was exhausted and didn’t know any longer what information was accurate and what wasn’t. Taryn was teaching me what worked for my issues and making things simple for me.
There is no way I would have been able to figure this all out by myself. A professional functional nutritionist is trained to look at your specifics. Little changes every month built upon each other and the evidence was in the changing labwork and the way I felt and looked. I have realized it all starts with your gut. It controls so much of your health. The impact has been exponential. Along the way, healing my gut also changed my mental state and helped with anxiety and depression.
I wake up excited now to nourish my body without worrying about calories and restrictions. I have a good relationship with food and that has given me such relief. However, knowing I am changing the trajectory of my future health and improving my mental state has been the real gift.
I couldn’t have done this on my own. I didn’t have the knowledge and I needed the support. I am so grateful for Greenmind and that I made a decision to begin a program that invested in me. I am optimistic about my future knowing that I am healthier and feel better right now than when I was younger.

Blair’s STORY
“After struggling to lose the weight I had put on during pregnancies (and after) and feeling bloated, sluggish, and like I was in a “fog”, I reached out to GreenMind.
Working with Stevi, I have seen physical, emotional, and mental transformations. What Stevi turned out to be was a cheerleader for ME. She was dialed in on meeting me where I was…a working mom who is constantly on the go, values feeling “full” (I hate feeling like I’m being deprived of food!), doesn’t have hours to prep meals, and still enjoys a glass of wine or cocktail at the end of the week.
Stevi helped me to make small changes in my habits and choices that were easy to fit into my lifestyle. She never made me feel like I had to make unrealistic changes. What I value even more than the changes I’ve seen on the scale, are the changes Stevi has helped me to achieve in my bloodwork.
I truly to this day cannot believe the transformation that we’ve seen in my overall HEALTH. My bloodwork is better than it has been in years. My brain fog is gone. I sleep better than I have in a decade. I have more energy and have an overall much better relationship with food.”
