Elimination of Menstrual Pain, Increased Energy, Healing Thyroid

“Before coming to Feel Fabulous with Food, I tried hormone therapy to reduce my PMS symptoms. My menstruation cycle got so painful I would take the max dose of ibuprofen. I would have PMS symptoms 2 weeks before menstruation. I stopped hormone therapy because I was tired of taking medication and wanted to treat my symptoms with food. I found Karen Ranzi from web search. I already ate Vegan and Gluten Free food. Even though I thought I was giving my body the best, I still had PMS, painful menstruation and hypothyroid. Throughout the next two months, Karen showed me what food should not be eaten together, and how to eat raw in a busy lifestyle. As I finished, it was amazing to see how food has transformed my life. With energy all day, I enjoy a 75% raw lifestyle. My PMS completely disappeared. I kept expecting the next menstruation cycle to be painful but that has not occurred. I know longer need to plan around my menstruation cycle and don’t even need pain killers. Additionally, I am taking less medication to treat my hypothyroid. Food is a medicine. My body responded and now I feel Fabulous.”

Healing Acne

Elena Ioan

Struggling with acne is never fun. Especially when you never had skin issues as a teenager. I tried all sorts of things and even consulted my doctor. But I didn’t trust the cream he gave me and I didn’t want to use it because of all the potential side effects. And besides that, I suspect that it would only treat the effects of a deeper cause that needed to be addressed. As I needed someone with a more holistic vision, I turned to Karen. The health coaching she gave me helped me

understand what was going on at a deeper level. She really takes every aspect of your life into consideration to help you, as a health issue is rarely connected to only one factor. If you’re facing any health challenges, don’t hesitate to consider a consultation with this

amazing lady! And she’s so kind and sweet!!!

Son healed from severe asthma through diet and lifestyle

Susan Fuller Schmidt

I met Karen Ranzi at a talk during her book tour in North Carolina 5 years ago, and her book and phone coaching set me on a great healing path for my boys. She was one of the first people I learned healthy diet from, and I went on a wonderful healing journey. One of my sons had severe asthma and Karen’s advice was what we needed.

My son is doing absolutely amazing now. At 2 years old the doctors had him on four adult dose medications for asthma and told me his asthma was so severe he would be on steroids for life. By age 8 we had him off all medications and now he runs like crazy as a soccer player. This is all from diet modifications and other healing modalities. It’s the best gift ever having him off all the medications and being able to breathe without inhalers. Thanks again for the support with our son’s asthma.

Family Transition to A Healthy Raw Vegan Lifestyle in Spain

Adriana Csongor, Spain

I read Karen’s book Creating Healthy Children, which is so good and gave me all the information I needed about raw food. Loved it. Coming from a high meat eater diet, the transformation was difficult. I had lots of detoxification. When we switched to raw vegan, our baby was 9 months, so it was important to do everything right with her. I had lots of questions, so I decided to get coaching sessions with Karen. She is like my second Mom. The coaching sessions helped me a lot. The sessions gave me information, knowledge, support, faith and love. Now we are a happy raw vegan family and Karen has a big work in it. I just say to you if you have any question, do the coaching with Karen. This lifestyle is amazing but you have to do it correctly. Our life changed completely in a good way! Un saludo from Spain.

Quickly Correcting Iron Deficiency

Veronika Lichtner-Hoyer, Austria

I did a blood test and my ferritin level was really really low… It said all out of iron.

Then after I coached with Karen Ranzi and began implementing her plant strong protocol, the symptoms disappeared completely in a very short time. I was so happy. Thank you again for the wonderful work you do.

Improving the Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Karen Burgess
I became a raw vegan approximately a year ago to heal from Parkinson’s disease.  I contacted Karen Ranzi because of her experience with the raw food diet and expertise with autism.  During a month of weekly consultations, Karen was incredibly supportive and assisted me in modifying my diet for better nutrition. In addition, she researched Parkinson’s Disease and was able to provide ideas for therapies going forward.  I’m looking forward to my own complete healing, and for anyone looking to expand their diet to include more raw foods I would highly recommend coaching with Karen Ranzi.

Autism: Improved Digestion, Communication Skills, and Behaviors in 16 Year Old Teenager

Mihaela Daraban Testimonial for her daughter Alexandra, from Romania

1. Our daughter’s challenges have been linked to both autism and many other health problems. Among other things, thyroiditis, difficult digestion, low blood pressure, dry skin and the list goes on. By the time I met Karen Ranzi, my daughter had just been forced to finish a fruit-only diet, which lasted six months. It did not go well, and during this time certain deficiencies developed. And so Karen was a blessing to us! And a super trainer in the secrets of raw vegan food.

2. One of the wonderful things I experienced from Karen’s advice was green juice. From the very first days, there were benefits in our daughter’s digestion. The recommendation to remove salt from the diet also had immediate health benefits. 

Also, my daughter previously had upsets and inappropriate reactions to certain social situations, and she now is much calmer. Karen’s dietary tips helped me understand, as she recommended, we get the nutrients we need from fresh whole plant food. 

3. Karen is a warm woman. She treats all subjects with tact, so any email or meeting with her is a delight for both parents and children.

4. If someone were to ask me if I know a great health coach for a child with autism, my answer would be Karen Ranzi.

Thanks dear Karen, you are such a WONDERFUL Health Coach!

Healing the Thyroid

I wanted to tell you that my thyroid labs are getting better. My TSH started at 80, and should be between 1-4. By the time we finished our two months of health coaching the TSH was down to 60. Today’s labs are 35! That’s so amazing. Thank you…

Wanted to share this with you.

Alice Coppola, Healing Stomach and Gut Issues, Reversing Mold Toxicity, Gaining Energy

Alice Coppola says:

“I met Karen several years ago at the Woodstock Fruit Festival. I always enjoyed her food demos and health sessions and wasn’t aware that she provided health coaching as well.

Although I was mostly vegan and 100% gluten free, I started to experience stomach issues in 2022. After several visits to a gastroenterologist and several scans (GI tests, endoscopy, etc.), they weren’t able to identify the cause of these issues and wanted to put me on meds to reduce “acid.” I tried meds for a short time, but then I contacted Karen for health counseling.

Contacting Karen was one of the best things I did in 2022.

One week into Karen’s program I started to feel better with my stomach issues as she showed me how to food combine correctly and gave me direction to better supplements and probiotics. My stomach and digestion is 100 times better than where I was.

My Mold Test Complement C4A is now normal (from the 1800’s down to 560), and through diet and lifestyle changes, mold was purged from my body.

Karen is amazing and I highly recommend her :-)”

Kelly Ann Mullen, Weight Loss, Increased Energy, Healing Thyroid

Kelly Ann Mullen

Thank you Karen for all your hard work. My transition to a high raw vegan lifestyle was easier with you coaching me. I so appreciated your wealth of information and knowledge in the field of the raw vegan lifestyle. I lost 10 pounds during our coaching time and I have so much energy. I’m happy to have the opportunity to reduce and eventually eliminate the thyroid medication. I feel more confident and able to stay with my goals of becoming raw vegan. The information you gave me about the beauty products was most valuable to knowing how they affect my hormones. Your understanding I’m married and needed to combine the dual lifestyles was most beneficial, especially when going out with my husband. Helping me in that way socially was so important to me. Thank you so very much!!!! ❤️

E.S. Healing Hypothyroidism and Raising Healthy Raw Vegan Children

I went on a low fat raw vegan diet to heal my hypothyroidism. I was on armour thyroid for 20 years and thyroid blood work  was always out of range. Now I have had for 4 years in a row all thyroid blood work in normal range and I have been off thyroid medicine for 4 years completely after slowly weaning.My thyroid ultrasound said my thyroid was completely healthy and the nurse was amazed. I have also birthed a baby at home on this raw vegan lifestyle with no complications and breast feed and grown 2 children on this diet naturally for 4.5 years each.  Working with Karen’s support and her kind, loving, informed, knowledgeable on research and open demeanor makes this lifestyle feel empowering, motivating, joyful, realistic and healthy within all vitamin and minerals requirements. My children love this lifestyle as well. They are healthy and happy. They love the taste of a variety of healthy raw fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts . Karen gives you the confidence you need to trust your body and the lifestyle for healing and true health for all ages. After working with Karen and listening to her coaching calls My daughter was inspired how much Karen helps people and she said she wants to be like Karen when she gets older.
Wishing you a healthy journey

Schaberg J – Raising Healthy Children

So much of your wisdom has gone into raising my two kiddos. I have been vegan for 13 years and transitioned to high-raw in 2017. So grateful for your work!  Your book about raw foods and attachment parenting has been a cornerstone to my fatherhood over the last nine years.

Sophie L – Peri and Post Menopausal Health

I contacted Karen Ranzi to obtain more information regarding her experience with menopause under a low fat raw vegan lifestyle and get her recommendations.
I am 45, under a high fruit and vegetable diet, and fully aware of my changing body.  Since I hear a lot of uncomfortable stories these days about menopause, I wanted to get the tools to make this life transition the most enjoyable possible.
 I met Karen 3 years ago at the Woodstock Fruit Festival and really enjoyed her energy.
 I found her very friendly, approachable, gentle, caring, and supportive. She was also very flexible and understanding when scheduling our first coaching session and provided several options regarding her program. After an hour session, I got great wholesome tips (food, water, exercise, rest, breathing …) to start on the right path.
Thanks Karen!!

MJ, Increasing Focus, Productivity and Delicious Healthy Meals for the Family

I started working with Karen because I wanted to learn how to add more delicious, raw, vegan foods to my family’s plates to boost everyone’s health. We are a busy family with school and work, so I wanted to provide nutritious meals that would help everyone increase focus and productivity. When I started working with Karen, I was already plant-based, but wanted to make sure I was “doing things right” especially while raising a child. Karen was such a joy to work with. When we first met, she took a lot of time getting to know me and learn about my goals. I wanted to create more delicious and nutritious fillings for my son’s lunch boxes and yummy, healthy after-school snacks. Boy, did she deliver. Her sessions are an eclectic mix of deep conversation and helpful, fun training. Best of all, Karen delivered laser-focused help in small, doable one-by-one steps. She helped our family feel healthy and happy, focused and productive. I highly recommend working with her. She’s amazing!

Iva F, Czech Republic – Improved Digestion and Increased Energy

My name is Iva and I contacted Karen Ranzi as I needed help and support with switching to a healthy plant-based diet, the more raw the better. I had already studied a course on raw food nutrition and listened to so many health summits, so I was already persuaded that the raw way of eating is the best for humans. But with no one around me who could support me with the transition, with the food addictions and eating habits I brought from my previous life, I was struggling to switch completely. I struggled with chronic fatigue, constipation, and insomnia. Karen helped me a lot.

Karen provided me with useful information, recipes and meal planning… and her kind and supportive approach was really of much help to me. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone who is struggling with transition and various health problems.

Gizel K, Turning Around Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes, Increased Energy, No More Constipation

Karen, I’d like to thank you for your help. I have a big improvement in a very short time. I have so much energy that I didn’t have before, my blood sugar is much better, and no more constipation. In the morning, testing my blood sugar it’s normal now at 5.8. Before I was scared of fruit, but now I see the best results with fruit. I’m thankful to you.

 

Michelle D. Healing Digestive Issues, Cystic Acne, Brain Fog, Depression, Weight Loss

I have just completed 8 weeks of coaching with Karen Ranzi. Before my time with Karen, I was feeling very hopeless. Since I was a preteen I had several stomach issues and was prone to cysts and cystic acne. Because of this I have always watched my diet and tried to eat healthy.

But then menopause hit.  Things that used to work for me weren’t working anymore. Also, I am dealing with some extremely stressful situations in my life. As a result, I was dealing with severe anxiety, sleep problems, cystic acne that was leaving scars, hopelessness, brain fog, lack of motivation and chronic diarrhea. I was so stressed, exhausted and short on time that I was living on chocolate bars and chips for days at a time. My adrenals were shot and my cravings for salt and sugar were through the roof!

I was at the end of my rope and reached out to Karen. She was exactly what I needed!! She is so kind, patient and knowledgeable. I felt ashamed of myself for where I was at, but I never felt like Karen was judging me. She was my own personal cheerleader. I honestly feel like she helped me save my life!

I really looked forward to our sessions each week. In between sessions, Karen would send me helpful information. Also I could message her anytime and she would get right back to me. She is so supportive.

One thing I really liked was how she introduced gradual steps to get me results. Once I got the hang of one step (like fruit for breakfast), then we’d move on to the next. Before I knew it, I was eating all raw and feeling so good.

Some benefits I started seeing right away are clearer thinking, sleeping better, better mood, less anxiety, my skin was clearing up, even scars I had for a long time were smoothing out, and my stomach was feeling so much better.  I lost about 5 lbs. My extreme stressors are still in my life, but I’m able to cope with them and they don’t affect me as much as before.

One surprising thing that happened during all of this is my husband decided to join me for 20 days of eating raw because he needed to lose weight. He is a meat loving, pasta eating guy so this was not something I ever thought he would want to do. So he joined me for 20 days. He stuck with it and never cheated. He lost 12 pounds. After the 20 days he felt so good he decided to do raw food with me for another 20 days. We are on day 2 of that. He is loving his fruit smoothies & his salads. And I am loving the support.

We have been taking our salads everywhere-vacations with friends, dinners at restaurants with friends, to our friends’ houses when they have us over…and we always bring enough to share. Even our friends have been talking about eating healthier. It’s just been wonderful. And it all started with working with Karen. So If you are looking for help and support, look no further. Karen is amazing!!

Christine B. – Improved Digestion, Increased Energy, Clear Head and Voice, Weight Loss

“Already in the first two days of raw food coaching, my head was clearer. I have so much more energy, I have more bowel movements that are well formed, and I’ve lost some weight.”

Leah M, digestion, mental clarity, energy level, psychological state

I have worked with Karen both as a participant in her many in-person activities, women’s wellness days and group juice cleanse, and as a personal coaching client.  What is special about Karen is she works to solve her clients’ concerns without judgement or shame, with kindness, positivity, and enthusiasm.  Karen is a wealth of information and is continually learning and imparting that knowledge in a compassionate and fun environment.  There is never any pressure, just encouragement and high energy.  It’s amazing how Karen brings together so many different people and through her passion for her work, creates an amazing and fun community. I would recommend working with Karen in whatever capacity you may resonate.  Raw food definitely has improved my digestion, mental clarity, energy level, and, surprisingly, my psychological-emotional state. While it does take time to heal and to change eating patterns learned over years, feeling better encourages you to take steps to continue in the right direction.

Terry O, Weight Loss and Improved Digestion

What brought me to coach with Karen: I became acquainted with Karen at the Woodstock Fruit Festival in 2020. I attended one of Karen’s Raw Food demonstrations there. Attending the Fruit Festival allowed me to learn about the RAW Food Lifestyle. I recently saw a video on Karen’s coaching success stories. It encouraged me especially since it featured mature women. I had struggled with different techniques in the Vegan Lifestyle to attain a healthy weight and was unsuccessful. I had received advice from other coaches to increase protein consumption. It wasn’t working for me. I decided to give coaching with Karen a try. I’m so happy that I did. The health goals that I achieved were: easier digestion, effective weight loss within our two months of coaching, and the ability to eat larger satisfying meals while experimenting with new recipes.

In addition to this, I have been an inspiration to my colleagues at work. A few of my nurse colleagues have begun to eat more fruits and vegetables.

I’m also inspired to coaching and have interest in Karen’s Vegan Coach Certification.

Thanks Karen!

Tugce Z

Thank you so much for the incredibly helpful information you’ve shared about raw foods for babies. Your guidance has been truly invaluable. My baby Mavi is a healthy, happy little one, shining every day, meeting all his milestones, and growing right on track. As a long time raw vegan, I’m especially grateful for your leadership and example. The way you’ve raised your own children and the knowledge you continue to share through your work and your book is both inspiring and reassuring. Thank you for lighting the way for so many of us.

With Gratitude,

Lois A. – Increased Energy, Improved Sleep, Better Elimination, No More Headaches

My name is Lois Anderson and I wanted to go 100% raw on a plant based diet, so I asked Karen to coach me. I wanted to be accountable to her so I could stay on track. It has been a struggle sometimes especially giving up salt, which has been a life long habit. But I’m so glad that I had Karen to work with because here is where I had improvements. First of all my energy improved, then my sleep improved. Also, I now have better elimination. I had been having headaches in the morning most mornings before I started with Karen and within a week the headaches disappeared. At first without salt my salads tasted bland, but now my natural taste has returned and I can eat a salad without dressing and enjoy it. One other thing I noticed is that I am not letting things bother me emotionally like before. So all in all, I am so thankful for Karen’s help and would recommend Health Coaching with Karen to others.
