Discover what clients think about Colibri Nutrition service

I’ve struggled with high cholesterol for more than 30 years — my total cholesterol was consistently above 7 mmol/L, with LDL over 5.7 mmol/L. Doctors always prescribed statins, but I avoided them because of the side effects.

In July 2025, I began working with Elena. She carefully reviewed my history and symptoms and suggested that sluggish bile flow might be at the root of my problem. With her guidance, I adjusted my diet and added specific herbal supplements to support bile movement. To my surprise, within just one month my cholesterol dropped by 25%, including a significant reduction in LDL. Even more, the size of my gallstone decreased.

I continue to follow her recommendations and feel supported every step of the way. Elena is a highly attentive, knowledgeable, and truly professional specialist who helped me find root causes and a natural solution after decades of struggle.

For over 25 years, I struggled with digestive issues, severe constipation, metabolic imbalance, and high cholesterol. Despite countless consultations and medications, conventional medicine never identified the root cause of my problems. By the summer of 2024, I felt hopeless until I met Elena. She carefully reviewed my history and lab results, explained the underlying connections between my symptoms, and created a personalized protocol with nutrition, stress management, and adrenal support.

Within just 1 month, my digestion began working again, and after 6 months constipation or rely on medications. I’ve reduced my statin dose by three times, my cholesterol is now normal, and my energy and sleep have greatly improved. Elena’s knowledge, compassion, and dedication truly changed my life.

Frequently asked questions

• What conditions or concerns can you help with?

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, such as digestive and metabolic issues, inflammatory diseases, fatigue, stress and adrenal imbalance, hormonal changes, blood sugar concerns, and skin conditions. My focus is always on finding the root cause and guiding you with practical steps toward balance and vitality.

• What distinguishes Colibri Nutrition and Elena from others?

I know there are many nutritionists out there, but my clients choose me for the combination of expertise, empathy, and whole-person care.

• Root-Cause Approach: I don’t just give meal plans. I work with you to uncover why your body is out of balance, addressing digestion, hormones, stress, and lifestyle, not just food.

• Personal Connection: I create a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard and supported. My clients often tell me they feel like I truly understand them - not just their symptoms.

• Science + Tradition: With a strong foundation in nutritional science, I also integrate herbal medicine, lifestyle strategies, and holistic wisdom for a well-rounded, effective approach.

Choosing Colibri Nutrition means choosing a partner who sees the whole you: body, mind, and lifestyle, and guides you toward lasting vitality with compassion and expertise.

• Do you work with Lab tests?

Yes. If you already have recent lab results (such as blood work, hormone panels, or stool tests), I’m happy to review them with you. Lab results can give valuable insights into your health, and together we can connect those numbers to how you’re actually feeling day-to-day.

While I don’t order tests myself, I can guide you on what might be useful to request from your doctor and help you understand the results in a holistic way.

• You’re not a medical doctor — why should I trust you?

As a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP), I don’t diagnose diseases or prescribe medications, that is the role of a medical doctor. My role is complementary: I look at nutrition, mineral and vitamin content, lifestyle, and natural approaches to help your body restore balance, improve energy, digestion, and overall well-being.

Clients trust me because:

• I’ve studied anatomy, physiology, pathology, metabolism, and herbal medicine in depth at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Vancouver.

• I bring over 200 hours of hands-on practice in real clinical settings.

• I combine my personal health journey with a science-based, client-centered approach.

• I always encourage collaboration with your healthcare providers. My goal is to support, not replace, your medical care.

• I am committed to continuously improving my skills through ongoing education, research, and advanced training, so my clients benefit from the latest knowledge in holistic nutrition.

Think of me as part of your wellness team: your doctor addresses acute conditions, while I help you build long-term health through food, herbs, and lifestyle strategies.

This way, healthy eating becomes sustainable and enjoyable for everyone at home, not just for you.
