Maria-Paula has been so important to me this year! I went to her and told her my concerns about food and fitness. Not only did she direct me down the right path with nutrition, but she also listened to my fitness likes and dislikes and recommended a program that has kept me on track. Maria-Paula doesn't just hand you a nutrition plan. She teaches you the basics of what our bodies need to perform at their peak. This foundation helps me make decisions for all of my nutrition. She also asks what you like to eat and how you can either alter or make a better choice. I can keep a lot of my favorite meals in rotation but alter so it fits within my plan. Not every meeting with Maria-Paula is an hour-long learning session. I'm about to go into her office for 20 minutes once a month to check my progress, provide any feedback, and get my questions answered. It's all so flexible! More...

Maria-Paula was highly recommended to us by my daughter’s GI doctor. Being a parent of a child with strict dietary needs was overwhelming at first but Maria-Paula helped us understand that good, healthy nutritious meals don’t have to be complex, fancy meals. She tailors her advice to your specific family dynamics and keeps it simple. I highly recommend her! More...

Maria Paula has been wonderful to work with. She is very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns regarding my daughters feeding issues. (My Daughter was born with Congenital heart defect and has a G-Tube placed since she was 4 weeks old.) She did routine follow ups and provided an updated nutrition plan as needed. She always has lot of different nutritional drink samples and gave them to us to try. (my daughter developed oral aversion to formula due to her g-tube). My daughter has been gaining weight consistently and we no longer have the feeding issues. We are at a point that we can wean her off the feeding tube. I would highly recommend Maria Paula as a Pediatric Nutritionist for any kids struggling to eat orally, gaining weight or weaning of the feeding tube. The nutrition plans that she provides are easy to follow and easy to manage. Most of the plans are based on the food that we can busy easily from the grocery store and can be consumed by the entire family. My daughter would not have been where she is today in terms of her healthy weight gain without Maria Paula's continuous guidance. More...

Our gastroenterologist recommended for us to go see Maria-Paula after we found out our daughter had Celiac. Ever since we've been with Maria-Paula I feel like we have a total understanding of the disease and to be cautious of cross contamination. She has been measuring my daughter the whole way and we see great progress in our daughter. It has been rewarding to know that as parents we are doing the right thing for our daughter to feel better and to grow. Maria-Paula has been by our side the whole way guiding us. More...

I have been with LifeCycle Nutrition for at least 5 years. The knowledge I have gained about food, exercise, and the way these things impact my body have completely changed my life. Maria Paula is so kind, flexible, and helpful in allowing you to reach the goals you have for yourself. I have found extreme success in my time working with her and am continuing towards my goals to live a better, healthier lifestyle. If you desire some change in your body and want to start with food, Maria Paula is a great place to start. The location is convenient, she is very flexible with scheduling, and her kindness and lack of judgement in wherever you may start, makes these changes comfortable and achievable. More...

Maria is wonderful! She is knowledgeable, thorough, and thoughtful with her patients. What I appreciate most about Maria is that she approaches nutrition not just for the condition you are working to resolve, but looks at where you are in your journey and daily life to ensure you get the best outcomes. I highly recommend her!

I have enjoyed working with Maria on my eating habits along with addressing my medical history. The best part of her process is the InBody Assessments with each visit which truly shows your month-to-month progress. This body composition analysis motivates me to make the changes necessary for results. She is easy to work with and provides great info. More...

I am a woman in my late 50’s that decided to make some lifestyle changes in the way I eat and exercise. This was a decision that was not made due to a health issue, but a choice to eat and feel better as I age. A relative shared their experience with me of seeing a nutritionist and this seemed like a direction that I wanted to go. I did my research and decided to go see Maria-Paula Carrillo with LifeCycle Nutrition. My goals were to relearn to eat healthy by making intentional decisions of the food I consume each day and to include a daily exercise program. Weight loss would be an additional bonus. I started this journey at the end of September, 2018. Maria has been a wonderful teacher and very patient with explaining everything I need to know in making my daily food decisions. The thing I have liked the most is that she has not told me what to eat each meal, instead she has provided me with valuable information so that I can make my own nutritional decisions on this lifestyle change. After 3 months I can say I have already exceeded my goals of feeling so much better and have lost weight and added muscle. More...

She is non-judgmental and meets clients where they are at on their journey. You walk away with a clear picture of your current status and what you need to do moving forward.

We were referred to LifeCycle Nutrition after our 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac. The main concern at the time was low growth. Since going gluten free over a year and a half ago with Maria-Paula's guidance and support, our daughter has grown over 4 inches and gained 4 pounds. (From age 2 to 4, she had grown a total of 2 inches.) This was not an easy transition for our family, but having Maria-Paula's support has been invaluable. Thank you!! More...

I have been working with Maria-Paula for almost 2 years now. I first went to her for advice on how to cut some body fat before starting to train for a marathon. Then, I kept going back all through marathon training and then through 50K training and racing as well. Her nutrition advice and strategies helped me lose the body fat before my races, so I was leaner than I would’ve been, and was well fueled through each race. I continue to work with Maria-Paula, to check in and check my progress on a somewhat regular basis. I highly recommend her for athletes looking to properly fuel for events, but also for anyone looking to eat healthier, lose some body fat, change their body composition, or even just their change their relationship with food.

I stumbled a bit the last few weeks, but I’m making progress — weight is down I was healed and delivered of Crohn’s Disease in 2005. Now, Maria-Paula Carrillo with LifeCycle Nutrition is helping me reestablish healthy nutrition goals tailored for MY body. She actually specializes in nutrition for GI clients. It has been a challenge since 2005 and resection surgery to eat what everyone else considers “healthy” —most veggies & fruit, as Crohn’s patients have many painful flares and tend to eat a high carb diet. As I get older, I understand I can’t continue to eat all those carbs. I’m learning that every fad diet or lose-weight-quick regime isn’t the best or healthiest way to accomplish weight loss goals. Steady wins! I don’t want to be skinny fat with no muscle, nor do I want to be a big dough girl— just want to be a healthy ME! Knowing what I can and can not eat is important. What’s even more important is breaking old habits and developing a healthy mindset to make better decisions. Thanks, Maria! More...
