Janet offers truly innovative recommendations, tailored to each client’s situation. She had made a big difference not only to my life, but also to the many friends who have sought her wise counsel!”

“Janet is the best.

She warmly supported my weight loss journey by educating me on the difference between healthy food and weight loss food, the importance of portion size and patiently guided me on how to handle the day to day obstacles and challenges that I did not know how to manage.

Most importantly she deeply cares!”

“All of my life I had been able to eat whatever I liked without gaining weight or having health problems. But in my retirement I gained 20 pounds, and my blood sugar spiked to pre-diabetic levels. My internist recommended that I see Janet Zalman, and it has been a game changer.

Without experiencing hunger I have lost almost 20 pounds, and my fitness for and enjoyment of tennis, golf and biking has greatly increased. And my blood sugar has dropped to healthy levels.  I am now optimistic that I will be healthy and strong for the foreseeable future. thanks to Janet Zalman.”

— Adam W.

“My primary care physician recommended Janet Zalman for nutrition counseling to achieve my weight loss goal. No more attempts to do this solo.

Janet has proven to be a superb “Coach” who provides great support, encouragement, and guidance. Since January 2023, I have enjoyed great success in weight loss. I look and feel so much better.

If I can do it, so can anyone else, but the key for me has been Janet Zalman. Your body will thank you.”

“Terrific help – I have learned a number of simple steps I could integrate into my eating habits. My fitness greatly improved in just a few months – in ways that I expect will be sustainable.”

“Janet helped me lose nearly forty pounds and keep it off for years. Her sensible, non-judgmental, and wise approach permanently changed my relationship with food. Janet coached me through the guilt and emotion around eating and replaced it with practical, common-sense planning that has stayed with me.”

— Niki C.

“I have enjoyed working with Janet. She is very informed about science and nutrition and breaks down the information so that it makes sense to a layman. She also is very encouraging and supportive on the journey… I have encouraged a number of friends and colleagues to work with Janet and they too have seen great results.”

— Lorraine L.

“Janet Zalman’s program works. It combines nutrition education with a coaching strategy for success — helping individuals lose weight, decrease cravings, and manage their food at home, at restaurants, and while traveling.”

“I first started working with Janet in 2009 and I honestly believe she changed my life.  With Janet’s guidance, I lost 50 pounds over about 18 months, and I have maintained roughly a 45-pound loss for more than a decade. That, more than anything, speaks to the lasting value of what she teaches.

But Janet brings much more than nutritional expertise. She has wisdom, patience, empathy, and an uncanny ability to understand what is really getting in your way — and then help you find a realistic way through it.

I am enormously grateful to her. I truly believe Janet has not only made my life healthier and better, but quite possibly longer as well.”

“I have known Janet Kossow for close to 15 years and she is the nutritionist that I trust most with my patients. Their feedback is always positive, and the results are always evident!”
