Do you or your teen have depression?

I knew my diet wasn’t good but Karen helped me to see how my diet was affecting my health. I noticed changes right away as soon as I started to do what she suggested. Right away I had more energy and wasn’t falling asleep in classes at school. I was able to focus and concentrate in school and was able to get my homework done. Overall, my new ways of eating just make me feel healthier!

I started seeing Karen last summer. She is helping me with issues such as osteoporosis and how to strengthen my immune system, getting a good night’s sleep and having more energy. Karen is very knowledgeable about herbs, vitamins and ayurvedic medicine. I will have a test done to finally see where my allergies lie, and how to handle any that I have. Tru Foods has a peaceful, pleasant atmosphere amid the rolling hills of southern Castle Rock. I am sure I will see more improvements in my health as we go along.,

I purchased Karen’s custom blended teas, one for upset stomachs and the other for calming. The tea blends are fresh and delicious and really work. Karen also has wonderful blogs on her website with easy, healthy recipes (I highly recommend the after school/after workout snack bars.) I’ve learned so much about nutrition and health from Karen from her book and her live education talks. She’s well versed in healthy eating, how foods and proper nutrition can help to reduce anxiety and stress.

I asked Karen for help with my digestive issues. Not only did these issues get resolved but I also had more energy in the gym. We broke everything down into small, simple steps that were doable and achievable. She helped me to see how focusing on one thing at a time was better for me rather than switching everything up at once.

I would highly recommend Karen! I was having digestion problems and felt depressed and sluggish. Karen took a thorough history recommended the right diet and supplements and I am feeling like a completely different person! I have energy and no more depression. Give yourself this gift of health!

I listened to a talk that Karen did. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. Even though there was a lot of information in her talk and the resources she sent, she made it feel as though it wasn’t overwhelming and reminded us to make one small change at a time.

Prior to using Karen’s services I was having trouble sleeping most nights. I attributed it to my age, however it was getting so bad that I was barely getting through my day. Karen pinpointed some things that could be contributing to my insomnia and also explained everything to me. I have made some changes that she recommended and am going about it slowly. Within the first couple of weeks I have only had 2 nights that I had difficulty sleeping. I am going to continue to follow her advice.

Karen knows what she is talking about. Sometimes when I received recommendations from others they were hard to stick to or understand. Not with Karen and Tru Foods Nutrition. Karen takes the time to understand and recommend courses of action that fit your lifestyle. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

High school is a difficult task by itself, and when millennials attempt their hand at a balanced lifestyle, it requires help! TruFoods did just that, and more with Karen Brennan.

Karen listened to what was going on in my life and was able to pick up on several areas in my life that could be contributing to my immediate health concerns. We were able to address and resolve them right away. Doing so has motivated me to take charge of my health and I plan on continuing to use Karen’s services to reach my health goals. She listened to me, was understanding and supportive and explained all her suggestions to me so that I understood why I was making these changes.

Karen was thorough and attentive. She listened and adjusted to my pace and current abilities. She is worth a visit – check her out.

I am a cancer survivor. My nutrition direction has helped me greatly. Karen Brennan has been the best for me. My digestion and total well being has improved since set up a regimen for daily nutrition

When Karen Brennan started working with my 17 year old son, we were at the end of our rope. My smart, happy, fun-loving son had in the period of about 18 months become riddled with Anxiety and Depression. He had always had ADHD but had been able to manage it without medication of any sort, when he hit a late puberty at 16 everything was thrown up in the air. He began to hate school and would crawl into bed for hours each day. Karen looked through all of his medial records (there were many), surveyed him separately and talked to him on the phone at length several times. He always felt comfortable speaking with her and luckily he realized how much he was struggling and was willing to accept the help. After much analysis Karen decided to remove dye from his diet as a first step.

We went pretty much cold turkey and it was harder than I thought to figure out what he could eat. She was very helpful in showing me the things to look for on labels and it was shocking to see dye in so many products that I wouldn’t have imagined would contain it – Life cereal comes to mind and my son lived on that eating several bowls each day. In addition, there was actually dye in the anti-depressant he was taking. The biggest change we saw was in his mood and energy level. With in 4 or 5 days of eliminating dyes, he no longer was crawling into bed any chance he got. He felt mentally clearer and overall just felt more healthy and happy. It was noticeable to our whole family and to him. There was considerably less agitation and anger, and he was joking around and smiling more.

He is now 18 and is trying to stick to the dye free diet. It is not easy for a teenager, he has fallen off a few times and it is always noticeable. I can tell at this point if he has had dye and he can too – it is enough that he is able to self correct before he starts feeling too badly.

Karen and TruFoods did a great job of narrowing down the potential problem AND being realistic about working with a teenager. I really appreciated her depth of knowledge and insights into how nutrition feeds into everything about our bodies.

Karen is the best. She always has ways to help when I ask her. She is full of tons of advice every time! Her healthy lifestyle is always one that I would like to emulate. Whenever I ask her a question, she is always prompt in her reply. I would recommend Karen to anyone looking for health-related advice!
