Angela Pifer, Nutritionist | Nutrition Northwest Co

Since I started working with Angela last October, I have lost 53 lbs. total and my A1c is now 5.0%! A year ago my A1c was 6.9%!!!!

Because of these changes, my doctor is cutting my Metformin dose by 50% and we are evaluating my blood pressure with the goal of reducing that as well!

I see food so much differently now and I do not miss (or crave) all of the processed food I used to eat. I get a lot more out of my workouts now that I am capable of doing more. Life is good!

Thank you Angela, for all of your guidance and support. I finally feel I have found a lifestyle plan that I can follow (shall I say it?) for the rest of my life!

I’ve only worked with Angela for a few months and during that time she has helped me to understand how carbs work (and don’t work) for healthy eating. It’s been hard to give up a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits and try to put new ones in place. I’m almost halfway to my goal weight and reaching out now to increase my activity level purposefully!

I highly recommend Angela to anyone desiring or having to make changes in their eating habits as she is encouraging, knowledgeable and never condescending or judgmental. One could not ask for a better guide!

Incredibly Detailed. A different class. I've only been working with Angela for a few weeks, but have to say that she is nothing short of outstanding. Not only is she incredibly knowledgable, but she looks at every problem from every angle and applies a wonderful "rebalancing" approach to health. With my condition I don't think I can be "cured", but I think that I can be rebalanced so that my body becomes my own again, and Angela has done more in a few weeks to start those wheels in motion than numerous other "professionals" have.

Word's cannot express my gratitude for Angela. Her knowledge is unbelievable and her services have been well worth the cost. Since my mid 20's I have had a dx of IBS. I developed hypothyroidism, suffered w/ joint pain, heartburn, constipation, low vitamin D & B and depression. I was on numerous medications yet continued to feel worse. After being diagnosed with food allergies, fructose intolerance, and SIBO I found Angela through an on-line search and now an feeling best in I have felt in years.

Angela is extremely patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and validating. I sought her out to treat SIBO/IBS that was only getting worse despite multiple rounds of conventional and alternative medicine treatments. We still have a ways to go, but after only a few weeks into her 6 month program, I'm feeling the best I've felt in a year. Angela acknowledged the SIBO, but looked at all my symptoms to find other root causes. Still going strong, but from what I've experienced, I have complete confidence in our plan. I finally have hope again that I may heal one day :)

I've been to the Mayo Clinic and top NYC gastroenterologists to no avail. Angela is the only person who has made a substantial improvement to my quality of life. She is truly a SIBO GURU!

Angela is a one-woman team, trained to analyze a patient from every angle. She is extremely well-studied and may as well be a full-on M.D. She is as smart as any doctor I've met and actually takes the time to LISTEN to your entire story and get the full picture of you as a patient. She listened to my symptoms and read my journals (and boy were those journals detailed) and then told me what labs/bloodwork to order and which tests to have done. She was then able to accurately analyze the results - so much so that my gastroenterologist and an endocrinologist both independently complimented her work to me. Through Angela, I was able to learn that I have low T3 (a thyroid hormone) - which I have never known before - and get on the appropriate supplements for adrenal fatigue.

I was referred to Angela by my primary care physician after over a year of unexplained weight gain. No amount of dieting or exercise was helping and the doctor's only response was that I was turning 40 and "that's what happens." I didn't buy it.
I enrolled in her 3 month program and the results were amazing! Angela has extensive knowledge of how the body works and how different combinations of foods, lifestyle, medications, and sleep patterns affect your health. My program was tailored specifically to me with help and support from Angela the whole time. I'm not saying it was easy! She definitely holds you accountable by checking your journals a couple times a week and follow up phone calls at least once a week. Besides changing how and what I ate, I had to make some lifestyle changes to improve on sleep, the way I exercised, and decrease stress levels whenever possible. Being self employed this is really difficult but being made aware of these things helped me make some changes, even if they were just small ones. She is there to coach you and guide you but in the end, the work is all on you!
She did recommend several supplements but all were to support my own program. I looked around online to see if I could get the supplements elsewhere and turns out her charges were all a buck or two cheaper. She also gave me receipts to turn in to my insurance company but even though my policy states that nutritional counseling is covered, I could not get them to cover any of her costs. Shame on the insurance companies but no blame to Angela. She made me aware right away that she didn't charge insurance companies and that them denying coverage to me may be a possibility.
After seeing my progress, several friends and colleagues have also worked with Angela and all were pleased with their own results. She is always there for questions, support and follow up care and even has a website with lots of exercise and food ideas and more.
I highly recommend her. (and do quite often!)

I have had an amazing experience with Angela and, more important, I am seeing improvement in my symptoms! Angela is extremely knowledgeable and she looks at each client as an individual. I didn't feel like she was just applying another cookie-cutter application to my problems. She took the time to know me and my individual problems.... SIBO, candida, brain fog, fatigue, etc.

Angela then applied a thoughtful and comprehensive plan to target things, both with diet and supplementation. She takes a wholistic approached towards things and doesn't try to treat symptoms in a vacuum. I like that about her.... thoughtful approach, knowing that everyone is different. At the same time though, it is obvious she knows her stuff. She knows what supplements, diet, medication, or approach will target a specific problem most of the time, for most of the people. My favorite thing about Angela is that she constantly follows up and researches things behind the scenes to your benefit. I feel Angela is genuinely devoted to helping me get better.

Treatment from Angela, at face-value, can seem expensive. However, medically based treatment of any kind now-a-days is just that... expensive. Supplements can also cost a considerable amount of money.... most anywhere. I think what we all want is 'our money's worth'. We don't want to feel like we got gipped and most of us aren't really expecting to get the deal of the century, that's just not reality. Bottom line is that Angela has been in my corner fighting for me and what I have paid has been absolutely worth it. It is hard to put a price on our health... I know, a cliché. But when you feel the benefits outweigh the cost you feel great!!

Those with SIBO or other gut problems need to be educated as to exactly what is going on with their bodies. I know folks who spend thousands on education and are left wondering how to apply what they have learned. So in addition to obtaining treatment for my health problems, I have been educated along the way so that I can start to be my own advocate for health... priceless.

Angela is the most caring practitioner that I've ever worked with. I thought I had SIBO, but I have celiac and we knew this (but the breath test for SIBO can be a false positive with Celiac) - I thought that my symptoms were from SIBO when really they were from me not controlling celiac well enough. I was just about to start on a couple of rounds of antibiotics. Instead, we addressed the real issues and I am happy to say that I finally feel normal again. NO gut symptoms, I can eat out, I can hang with my friends and my family and doctor no longer think that I am crazy. I looked forward to each call with her and I can't tell you how patient she was. I obviously have to do my part, but this I honestly, she stopped me from going down a path that would have made a bad situation worse. I was eating gluten, eating foods that were causing huge gut reactions and then I was going to dump a bunch of antibiotics into the mix. If you want to get to the bottom of your issues, work with Angela.

If you have SIBO you HAVE TO WORK WITH ANGELA. She looked at my case from a fresh angle, figuring out that I have mycotoxin issue that was getting in the way of my SIBO treatment. I near lost my job and relationship over this illness. I was stuck, and really sick and tired about being sick and tired and now I am just over it, literally. She is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in great detail so I got it. Her approach, regardless of why you have SIBO, will get you back to feeling better and healthier. I give her a Michelin star rating!
