| about us |
seems there is information about health everywhere you look. Magazines, newspapers, and television are all loaded with an abundance of information on nutrition. So why is it that Americans are more confused than ever about what they should eat to encourage healthy weight loss and prevent disease? It doesn't help when so many industries and large companies actually make a profit from sick Americans. What then, is their incentive to help unclog our minds from all this health gibberish? Let the confusion stop here! Nutritious America is where all aspects of health are explored. You will have access to articles, recipes, workouts, books, supplements, and ancient techniques that will get you feeling alive, happy, and in charge of your health once and for all. Nourishing your own unique body and spirit is always the first step whether your goal is to lose weight, prevent disease, or just experiment with something new and exciting. We recognize food as a delicious staple of life that should be satisfying as well as nourishing. Whether you are a seasoned vegan, or can recite the McDonald's drive thru menu by heart, there's a place for you here.
a plan for health should differ from person to person depending on age, weight, gender, activity level, and overall lifestyle. So in essence, there are as many "diets" as there are people who visit our website. Abra Pappa, CHC, AADP Karen Sherwood, NC, HHP |

Client Testimonials
“Oftentimes it is difficult to find friends or
family members who will be brutally honest. All it took was one comment, one
honest smack in the face, punch in the roll that used to hang over the pants,
comment of reality. “I’ve never seen you heavier”. That did it for me. Thank
you for the honesty, now what the heck can I do about it?! I had come to my
end. 5’4, 161 pounds, 31, overweight, and at the same time a marathoner, yoga
practicing, healthy eating woman. It didn't make sense. Maybe with the layer
of clothes I didn’t look like I weighed that much, but I knew it, I felt
it, and it was effecting almost every part of who I was. I relied on my 2pm
coffee to get through the rest of the day, was dragging myself to yoga, out for
a training run and falling into bed at night with every ounce of frustration
that no matter what I did, the scale never changed. I was stuck, my body
clearly thought that 161 was where I should be. Then I talked to
Abra.
Is the Releana program easy? Honestly...you should
find out. It is a lifestyle change, and what lifestyle change isn't a
challenge? I can though, tell you exactly what keeps me going every day. I am
31 days into the program, I have lost 18 1/2 pounds, dropped from a size 10 to a
baggy size 6, feel fantastic and know that I have the support, encouragement,
coping tools, and all the resources I need to stick with it. Abra Pappa has
been that support system to me, I consider her one of the best nutritionists I
have ever met. She is a wealth of knowledge and beyond the releana program,
knows what it will take to continue a healthy lifestyle beyond Releana. I see
the scale every morning and can not get over the fact that it keeps going down,
and down, and down. 1/2 pound, or 1 pound. A day. Seriously?!? YES. I still
have days and weight to go, and have gotten to somewhat of an "auto pilot mode",
plugging through each day with more energy then I have had in years. I know I
will get to my goal weight, and soon. I have no doubt. And that my friends, is
enough for me to dig deeper then I ever have into the will power. The journey
is worth it. All so very worth it. You have it in you.
Health and happiness to you!”

“I have tried every fad diet, real diet, and exercise program out there. I have always lost a few pounds then gained back more. I am now 45 lbs down and the thinnest I have been since high school! I feel amazing and frankly look even better. The continuous support throughout the protocol has been incredible, I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt that the weight is gone forever.”

"I
had gained about 15 lbs and was quite unhappy about that. I decided to
try the 6 week transformation program at Exhale Spa. My nutrtionist
Karen Sherwood, was simply amazing. She helped me set realistic goals,
and had such a positive presence. I looked forward to my sessions with
her and learned a lot. I lost a ton of weight and it wasn't even
hard. I want to thank all the staff at Exahle Spa in Santa Monica. It
was a pleasure coming to classes, acupunture treatments, and of
course the effective sessions with Karen. Thank You !"

“Abra’s philosophy is not a quick and easy diet plan, but rather an investigation into our emotional relationship with food. The act of eating is now about tasting every bit, and celebrating the act of nurturing myself. Food has become a joy, a celebration. I recommend Abra to anyone who is interested in a life change. She will not give you the answers, but provide you with the space to find them within yourself.” -Megan Bouchard, Brooklyn, NY “Abra changed how I look at food, because of that I was able to keep the weight off!”
