What Are People Saying

See what some of our recent clients have said
David, K

I can say nothing but positive words about my experience with Michael and the team at The Real You. I first saw Michael because my doctor said I had to lose weight and I was not disappointed with the results! I have lost almost 20 kg since first getting in contact and have drastically improved my health. Will definitely keep seeing Michael!

Olivia, M

I have been troubled with IBS related issues for most of my life and have never been able to get any relief from the constant bloating and gut issues. The Dietitians at the Real You have talked me through the FODMAP process and have been informative and supportive along the whole journey. I have felt the best that I have ever felt and look forward to continuing the process with Michael and his team.

Daniel, T

My wife and I have been trying to improve our son’s fussy eating habits for what seems like forever! After seeing many Pediatricians and multiple Dietitians in the past, I can say our son is finally on track with his eating due to the amazing work by Michael. He is friendly, concise and really tailors his advice to the individual. He guided us through these key stages in our son’s development and we are happy to say that he is now getting all the nutrition he needs. Thanks Michael!
