“My 2½ year old son Sam is an extremely picky eater.  I contacted Betsy in desperation as the list of things he was willing to eat consisted of primarily chicken nuggets and junk food.  Betsy provided exactly the direction that I needed – that I needed to focus on making healthy well-balanced meals for the entire family and serving them to Sam – and then taking the pressure off of him by letting him decide what he wanted to eat.  Betsy was supportive but firm which was exactly what I needed.  Since meeting with Betsy, Sam has added several new foods and I feel much more confident about my approach to meal time." - Amy P., Crystal Lake, IL

"I am a 29 year old male who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I have always been overweight.  I contacted Betsy and set up a meeting; I really appreciate how caring and helpful she was.  I found out that there sure is a lot to know about how to lose weight and the correct way to do it, and her advice has been the key to my weight loss.  In the last month I’ve lost over 17 pounds, and I’m losing more every week.  I would like to say thank you to Betsy for helping me through this difficult time in my life.  I couldn’t have done it without her expertise and wonderful help."   – Joe C., Chicago, IL

"Eating wise, my daughter has been struggling with the adjustment to the short lunch time at kindergarten—one day she came home dizzy from a lack of food. I happened to mention that to a classmate’s mom on the school playground and it turned out she is a certified specialist in pediatric nutrition. Her consultation for my daughter provided thoughtful, thorough, and realistic recommendations. It’s been a month since then and though continued vigilance is needed, the eating situation has improved. The nutritionist’s name is Betsy Hjelmgren and her practice is called Feed to Succeed. If you’re looking for nutritional guidance for someone in your family, I’d suggest giving Betsy a call." - Julie S., Chicago, IL
