February 1, 2026 joanna

Do you think about food to the point that it is food noise? Food noise is a thing! But it doesn't have to be noise or a nagging irritation. It doesn't have to be something you need to control or gain control over - it is about uncovering and working through the real emotional … [Read more...]

My diet has significantly improved!

"Just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for the help when we worked together in the fall. My diet is significantly improved thanks to your guidance. I celebrate small victories like filling most of the shopping cart at the grocery store in the produce section! I remain hooked on smoothie concoctions for breakfast adding kale and a bunch of other good stuff. Lunch is the rainbow with raw veggies, nuts and lean proteins.

As my training continues to ramp up for season i do make sure i am adding enough carbs but eating mostly whole fresh foods. Training is going well, i just PR'd half marathon at 1:29, and feel great.

Thanks again for your help!

I reached my healthy-eating zen!

"I feel as though I have reached my health-eating zen. I don't want junk anymore....and I love knowing when my body's hungry, or when it is tired and why.

I no longer feel hungry after every meal...I feel so much better...you're the greatest!

I cannot thank you enough!"

Felt great the entire time

I got this response on how the half Ironman 70.3 race went for my client - his first at this distance

We did a Table To Race ironman nutrition plan 2 days prior:

“somehow, some way...[I finished although under-trained]

but seriously, i had my best swim ever and felt GREAT the entire time... which i truly believe was because i followed your [Table to Race nutrition] plan religiously.

that was by far the longest race i've ever done and the best i've ever felt in any race.

i'm really happy with my time... once i learn to get my wetsuit off faster and remember to put sunscreen on BEFORE the swim, i'll be even faster.

i'm really truly happy. thank you so, so much!

you were a huge part of this!”

I am so thrilled for them!!

Congratulations and so happy you felt great!!

Joanna is a life saver!

Joanna is a life saver!

She helped me with an issue that doctors had no answers for. She was able to assess my situation accurately and provide me with a totally natural remedy of magnesium, natural salts, and electrolytes.

The “prescription” she gave me for using these supplements has worked wonders and I am feeling much better and continuing to improve each month.

I schedule ongoing consultations with Joanna to make sure I am on track.

I highly recommend her – she is very intuitive and accurate with her assessments and protocols for wellness. - IS

It made a huge difference for me!

"I decreased my sugar intake with the help of @ Joanna Chodorowska and it has made a huge difference for me. I was already eating healthy.

The problem is that a lot of seemingly "healthy" food contains hidden sugar." - MW

Note: We used the Anti-Inflammatory Plan with NRT to get to the source of the issue.

"Joanna is such an expert in her field. Her sports nutrition and coaching for athletes is unmatchable. If you are prepping for game/race day, be sure to include her nutrition plans as part of your training regimen.

If you're not training for a marathon, don't let that keep you from using her.

She has an awesome program for those who are just getting started in making changes in their eating lifestyle.

She makes it easy to follow, fun and as painless as possible to get on the road to a healthier you.

She knows that nutrition is not one size fits all so the plans she develops with you, reflect not only proper nutrition, but foods you enjoy. She offers cooking classes too! For those that have excellent self discipline and are looking for a challenge to jump start themselves....do the detox plan."

I began working with Joanna a year or so ago after a stay in the hospital for kidney stones and an E Coli infection. I was concerned about what would best serve my nutritional needs and keep my kidneys healthy. In addition, my a 1 c was elevated indicating borderline diabetes. It is a condition that runs in the family so I wanted to be proactive. Simultaneously, the pandemic necessitated quarantine so our monthly sessions were an anchor to some sense of normalcy in an abnormal time. I'm not someone who responds well to 'You have to..."
