Testimonials

The Herkimer County Chamber of Commerce is proud to have Crystal Clear Nutrition as a Business member. Since joining the Chamber, Crystal Hein has been a very active member interacting with other members at seminars and business after hours events and also as a volunteer. Not only as the Executive Director of the Chamber but as a client of Crystal Clear Nutrition I can attest that the same energy and knowledge that Crystal has brought to the Chamber she also brings to her clients. I can speak first hand to her knowledge of nutrition and care and follow up that Crystal offers. My initial visit with Crystal was in her newly renovated office which immediately puts you at ease with its peaceful colors and ambiance; making me feel more at ease to open up and start a great dialogue to finding a nutrition solution. The follow up from Crystal was immediate and most helpful I now can say that Crystal Clear Nutrition is not only a Chamber member but a friend to all that they help.

I invited Crystal to meet my Swim team and talk with them about nutrition. Student-athletes need to consider what they’re putting into their bodies in order to perform at their best. Not only did she provide helpful tips and recipes, she also toured the college’s cafeteria with them – pointing out healthier options and ideas on how to put together a nutritious meal that would provide them with the energy and sustenance they need. She even brought us a healthy snack!!!

Crystal Hein is a fabulous dietitian who I favorably recommend! She is very knowledgeable, competent, creative, and motivating. Crystal is an excellent role model who is passionate about her clients’ success. Her approach is straightforward. The phrase “talk the talk and walk the walk” fits her perfectly. You’ll understand when you meet her. This testimony is from a short, muscular, middle-aged menopausal gal with a history of GI issues who has always been overweight. Even though I have been an exercise junkie for many years, I remained overweight – until I sought nutrition counseling from Crystal. My GI issues have vanished including my cravings for junk food and sugar. Crystal has instilled portion control and balance and the importance of making healthier choices. If you’re up for the challenge to lose weight, to adopt a healthier lifestyle, and are mentally and physically prepared, then I encourage you to contact Crystal today and make an appointment. You won’t be disappointed!

I thank God for Crystal. She is the answer to my prayer- “God, help me lose weight”. My sister died at the young age of 44 from a heart attack and diabetes. That hit real close to home. I have been married to the same man for 39 years; have three amazing children and three amazing grandsons. I needed to get healthy because of my family history. I am 58 years old, overweight and I don’t exercise. I knew what I needed to do- eat less and move more. That’s where Crystal comes in. As of the present, I have lost 20 pounds. I am walking and I have bought a bike and love riding it. She taught me how to read labels and understand that a serving of grain is equal to 15 grams of carbohydrate. It took a while, but I got it. Crystal is patient, giving and very passionate about nutrition and healthy living. She taught me how to make better choices and never feel deprived. She taught me that food is a good thing- not the enemy. She gave me meal ideas and ideas of healthy snacks to bring to work so that I would feel satisfied and have energy to do my job well. I have no cravings for carbohydrates, salt or sugar. I stopped drinking diet soda and I am leaning to love water (it’s a process). Crystal has been encouraging throughout this process. Today, I feel better, I am a smaller size and I don’t get out of breath when I walk a long distance. I thank God for the gift of life and for his gift of my Registered Dietitian- Crystal Hein. Oh, and I can play in the yard with my beautiful grandsons without getting out of breath. I am still on my journey; with Crystal and by the grace of God, I will make it to my goal.

I run a “Safety and Health" group at my church. For the last few years, I have had the pleasure of having Crystal come and speak to my group. When she comes out, she draws a crowd and she knows her stuff. You can never be too young or too old to learn to take care of yourself and Crystal is the right start!"

The services Crystal Hein provided me were far beyond exceptional. When my doctor came to me with some health concerns she was there to guide me every step of the way. She gave off a warm feeling as though was already knew each other, which in turn made the sessions intimate, yet very professional. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a Registered Dietitian.
