Brian was a great help to my partner and I in helping us dial in our nutrition for weight loss especially during the holidays. My partner and I were fairly active before meeting with Brian and felt as if we were eating well but were not seeing results week after week. After working with Brian for 5 weeks we experienced immediate results and learned a lot to set ourselves up for success as we continue our health journey. Highly recommend working with Brian. He is also very kind, flexible and professional.
Brian Parana Health & Nutrition Specialist's reply
Hi Ian and Anna, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was great working with both of you especially since you are hard workers and focused on improving your health. I'm excited we saw such positive results in just 7 weeks together especially during the Holiday Season! It's such a challenging time for maintaining healthy habits even with the travel you did and multiple party opportunities. It's fantastic that you were already active and had a good foundation of healthy eating habits. Sometimes, even small adjustments can make a big difference which they did! I'm glad I could help you fine-tune your nutrition to achieve the results you were looking for. I especially appreciate you mentioning the long-term aspect; my goal is always to equip my clients with the knowledge and tools they need to continue their health journey successfully on their own. Thank you again for your kind words about my approach. I truly value building strong relationships with my clients and providing a supportive and flexible environment. Let's Make 2025 the Best!

I’m a diabetic. Coach Brian helped me with making better food choices and portion sizes. He helped me to understand the nutrition chart and how to read labels. Upon completion of my sessions with him, he offered me to reach out if I had any questions. Brian is loaded with knowledge and information in helping to reach the goals I wanted to accomplish, and he does not have a problem sharing. I would recommend Brian as a coach💜!
Brian Parana Health & Nutrition Specialist's reply
Hi Dione! Thank you so much for your kind words and this wonderful review! I'm really happy to hear that my coaching has helped you make positive changes to your diet and understand your nutritional needs better. Being a diabetic is just another layer of complexity to overcome with creating consistent blood sugar levels especially around food. You always asked great questions to help seek better understanding on how you should be doing something better for your lifestyle. To know I was able to support you on your journey towards better health is awesome. I truly appreciate your trust and confidence in my guidance. Yours In Health Coach Brian

Before working together, I reached out to many other nutrition specialists and with Brian right from the start, I didn't feel like just another "number". The knowledge, the time, and the care he puts into his work and with every individual he works with truly shows. My goals were to lose a little bit of weight, improve my food quality and overall learn how to properly fuel myself when it comes to my workouts and half marathon training. We've gone over how many calories I should be consuming along with the protein, carbs and fats I should be having on workout days vs. days I rest. With being a vegetarian, he's knows all sorts of choices with whole foods where in the past I thought I had to rely on protein bars and powders for meals. Any vegetarians/vegans out there, Brian will make sure you are fueled in the best possible way!! This has been a massive comfort for me. But also eye opening in how much I needed to change things. I no longer feel lightheaded after my workouts since I am now taking time to eat right before I begin for a stronger workout. I am learning more and more how to put together a proper lunch that isn't just a snack bar or even candy - which I unfortunately did in the past almost every single day. I am not overeating when I come home at night from starving myself throughout the day. We've even gone over better sleeping habits and although very hard, he reminds me that consistency is key!! What I appreciate the most about this whole journey and what sets him apart from the others is how upfront he is with making sure I know all the work is done by me and me alone. He provides the tools and wealth of information but it is on me to take what is learned and apply it to my life daily. He does a wonderful job in reminding me that we are all human. Everyone slips up and the whole journey will never be perfect. But having him as an accountability partner has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself so far in my training and life overall.

Hi Joan! Thank you so much for this incredible review! It means the world to me to hear about the positive impact our work together has had on your health and training. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. From our initial consultation, I was inspired by your dedication and willingness to make positive changes. Working with you as an ideal client has been a privilege to guide you through this process and see you achieve so many of your goals. I'm really excited to hear that you're no longer experiencing lightheadedness after workouts and that you're feeling more confident in your food choices, especially as a vegetarian. Finding the right balance of whole foods to support your training was a key focus, and I'm glad we were able to move away from relying on processed bars and powders. As you mentioned, my approach is always centered around empowering my clients with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. Your success is a direct result of your hard work and commitment, and I'm simply here to provide support and guidance along the way. I believe that consistency, not perfection, is the key to lasting change, and I'm proud of how you've embraced that philosophy. Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting me to be a part of your journey. I'm excited to continue supporting you as you reach new heights in your training and overall well-being. Let's Keep On Running! Coach Brian
