“I do not know where to begin! Working with Astrid these last 6 months I have lost all cravings for chips and sweets! She has a work around for any cravings you may have and it has been an amazing experience! I started working with her on foods that would help me with my thyroid issues. I could not lose any weight or my weight would go up and then down (yo-yo weight). I started with her when my weight was 158 lbs. I had problems sticking with the plan at the beginning but she did not give up on me at all. Every week she would call to discuss my week and we would go over what I did and didn’t do. I figured out that she was not giving up on me so I should not give up on myself! Best decision of my life!!! In the last 2 months of really kicking in and following the program she set up I now weigh 145 lbs. and I have learned how to cook and eat healthy meals everyday without feeling hungry or stressed! I would recommend Wholly Papaya to anyone who really wants to get healthy and stay healthy for life!”-Babs James
“Let’s give credit where it’s due! I couldn’t have done it without you! Your service is 10/10, you make it a safe place and you adjust perfectly to the lives of your clients. Not only did you provide extremely valuable information that has dramatically improved my relationship with food (my initial goal) and which promotes better health/wellbeing AND weight loss (another of my initial goals), BUT it was also therapeutic for me! TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! It wasn’t just about my physical wellbeing, you also touched base with my mental wellbeing (I was in desperate need lol). Most importantly, the things you taught me in such a short time will impact the relationship my son has with food as well! I didn’t want him to grow up with a bad relationship with food like I did and thanks to you that won’t be happening! Thank you so much for all you did for me, you changed the way I view and think about food. You helped me begin my healing process BIG TIME something that I will always be grateful for. Healing will only make me a better individual but what’s most important to me is that it will make me a better momma!! Again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”-Kim Guerra
“Oh Man where can i start!!! It by far has been a Life changing support and help. I have been working with Astrid for 4 weeks now. Her guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, and stress management helped me feel in control of my health. She created a safe spaces for me to heal!!! With my PCOS I have always had problems with losing weight and imbalanced hormones, with her recommendation on supplements and meal suggestions I have been able to lose 8 pounds in a short period of time and feel great about myself. I am so thankful for her and I cant recommend her enough to all the girlies that might be struggling like I was! Thanks Astrid you are the best”

“I am so happy to have found such an amazing nutritionist like Astrid. Not only is she very knowledgeable but she’s very compassionate and loves what she does. I learned so much through this journey. Before I started, I had a toxic relationship with food, I would feel to guilty if I would eat “too much”, little did I know, I was not eating enough. Thanks to Astrid I am close to my goal and love ALL my meals. Thank you Astrid for being so caring and patient”-Diana Figueroa
“I came to Astrid for help as I have Hashimotos disease and needed guidance on how to reverse this disease through the power of food. I trusted her knowledge in nutrition and let her take the reins to assist me in my day to day food intake. 10/10 recommend this wonderful lady to anyone who wants help in learning about the foods that are good for our body! She can even customize your meals to what fits best for the individual. My nutrition journey has only begun and I would not have been able to get this started without her! She is such a blessing and everything she has taught me I will be able to use in my life forever. XO”

“I am plant based and have been for 6 years. I will admit I wasn’t prioritizing veggies and was eating quick processed vegan foods. I started feeling really icky and reached out to Astrid for help. She is so kind and easily put together a plant based shopping list and meal suggestions for the week. It was simple to follow and I started feeling so much better within two weeks. My inflammation decreased, my headaches went away, I felt like I was actually nourishing my body. I’m down almost 10 lbs. my goal wasn’t to lose weight (I’m still breastfeeding my baby) but I’m sure the bloat and inflammation decreasing has helped. I highly recommend working with Wholly Papaya Nutrition! Thank you!”

“Astrid has been SO helpful to me. She helped me realize the importance of breakfast and eating Whole Foods. I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and my overall health has improved. My energy levels and mood have also improved. I have a kidney disease and pass stones weekly/monthly. After years of working with doctors they were never able to give me a nutrition plan and instead recommended for me to not have certain foods that I NEED with my condition. Astrid made it a point to focus on what foods would help my kidneys and reduce my stones. If you’re serious about your health and learning how/what to eat I definitely recommend working with Astrid!”
-Amber Loya
“I had a really good experience with coach Astrid. I learned a lot about what to eat and how much to eat. I had a lot energy, I even started working out 5 times a week. I lost 13 pounds in the time I was doing the program with her and she motivated me to keep going. My inflammation went down by a lot. My hunger also decreased. I went from eating 15 tacos to only 6 lol just kidding. I don’t crave anything like that any more, not even junk food. I drink a lot more water now. She is very nice and will be there for you at any time except when she is asleep lol. But I truly do recommend her, had a blast. Thank you coach Astrid”
-Carlos Gutierrez
“Working with Astrid these past 4 weeks was definitely a life changing experience. I always tried all the fad diets and yoyo dieted for years.. Astrid helped me see food way different. I definitely pay more attention to ingredients and made a life style change for the better. I definitely had less bloating and my energy changed. I had high blood pressure and within the the first week I saw a huge change. I lost 7lbs and have not seen my weight increase since. One big thing I have learned is what ingredients can be harmful not only to me but my two small children. I am more vigilant on the food items I buy them now because I want my kids to be healthy as well”

“Astrid helped me clean up my nutrition and also helped me when my hair started falling out. Turns out I was extremely deficient in several nutrients. Thank you Astrid!”

“My experience with you has been amazing, I have noticed a difference in all areas *energy, inflammation, hunger, and cravings*. My inflammation has went down and my energy levels have went up! What is crazy to think my cravings for sweet or salty foods have decreased. My weight is a huge thing for me, I could never see myself losing a single pound. Yet I started to notice it in my clothes and just overall how I felt. It was definitely amazing looking at the scale and seeing a change. A habit I know for fact that will stay with me is BREAKFAST before coffee , including healthy fats and having enough protein. I will HIGHLY recommend Wholly Papaya not only because my coach was absolutely amazing But everything I was informed to do actually worked! I saw results that no doctor or other nutritionist could even come close to helping me. THANK YOU for always being patient with me, guiding me and most importantly educating me!”

“Astrid has been a great help to my son Liam. I took him to a specialist for the stomach and all he told me was to give him Miralax and in 2 months they would see what was causing my sons bloating. In less than two months following Astrid’s health plan. My son lost weight and he doesn’t feel fatigue anymore. Thank you Astrid for all the help my son really likes his “doctor” as he calls her”
-Eric Marquez
“Best Nutritionist I have found. Astrid is knowledgeable, empathetic, firm and kind. I love her holistic approach and the fact she is CONTINUOUSLY educating herself to learn more to help more people. I can’t give her enough stars and praise.”
