“I had a wakeup call when my twin brother was hospitalized with an 800-sugar count.  Although I was only pre diabetic, I knew if I didn't do something immediately, that would be me.  The problem was I had been on so many diets and on such a roller coaster with my weight, I wasn't sure where to begin. Jelina Shah was the answer for me.  She changed my relationship with food in a way that made it no longer the enemy. Through her knowledge, a personal cooperative plan and a positive, non-shaming approach I have finally found what works for me. I must mention, she is delightful to work with as well! Even though I am still learning, I feel like I now have a solid game plan for any food decisions that come my way. This has been such a relief when it comes to traveling, going out to eat and enjoying my favorite foods.  Life is too short to spend it obsessing about what you eat.  Connect with Jelina and find that joy and balance you are looking for.”

“Jelina Shah is a real gem in her expertise of helping people manage diabetes and live the best life possible. Jelina's expertise is impressive and she has my attention when she talks. She is warm and welcoming, yet she is firm about what must be done to create positive results. She is an outstanding expert, teacher, and has a special way to get her point across. Highly recommended!”

I have lost 38 pounds and am working towards losing another 27. Eating habits have changed completely.  My tastes and cravings for food have changed drastically!  No more sugar cravings, not even tempted by sweets. Now I live for roasted vegetables!  My orthopedic surgeon estimates I have reduced the pressure (weight bearing) on each knee by at least 100 lbs!  Knee pain has drastically subsided. I feel in control, have far more energy, better mood and do not feel out of control around food since my blood sugars are stable. She truly, truly care about your clients and patients. Reversing diabetes, controlling blood sugars and helping people live happy & healthy lives isn't just her career, it is your passion! It is obvious you love helping people and you have made such a difference in my life!

"Being on this journey with Dr. Jelina Shah is a dream come true! Worried about my high blood pressure and willing to make a lifestyle change, I saw ‘Craving Crushers’ program as a ray of light. Jelina’s amazing personality helped me relax, communicate with her in an open and trusted manner as we addressed the root of the issue. At a time when I felt drained physically, emotionally and mentally, her encouraging, compassionate and understanding nature just strengthened me spiritually. Daily journaling and meditation brought out that self-love I was missing due to putting everyone else before me unconsciously. Self-awareness is key to living an authentic life and Jelina’s coaching style just directs one to lead their own life with integrity – a promise we make to ourselves. I did consider the cost initially, but the transformation and mindset shift that it gives is well worth it. Invest in yourself, you will carry this for a lifetime as you enjoy every precious moment with yourself and your loved ones. Jelina is truly magical as she connects to the soul and customizes her approach according to your needs and personality. To say that it was my pleasure working with Dr. Shah is an understatement. I feel honored and blessed to know her and I want her to witness my sparkle and shine - she rekindled the fire in me for which I am truly grateful"

"I have struggled with my weight for the past 47 years, and after having children, the problem only escalated. Over the years, I tried every diet imaginable, but the constant yo-yoing left me emotionally drained and in pain, particularly in my knees and back. I felt frustrated, constantly thinking about food but trying not to overeat. That's when I discovered the low carb lifestyle, which initially helped, but eventually, I hit a plateau. I was ready to give up, but I was also in pain, physically and emotionally. When I met Jelina, I knew I had found the help I needed. She seemed like a caring person who had been through a similar journey herself. Working with her was a no-brainer. And I'm so glad I made that decision! Since starting the program, not only have I begun to lose weight again, but I also feel more connected with myself. Jelina encouraged me to delve into my past emotional experiences and journal about them, which has helped me let go of the past that tied me to being overweight. I now wake up every day feeling thankful for the things I have and ready to take control of my life. What I love most about working with Jelina is her ability to explain complex concepts with simple and relatable analogies. She has taught me how my body and brain work together and why I experience certain cravings. With this knowledge, I feel more confident in handling slips and setbacks, which are a normal part of the journey. The guilt that used to hold me back from success is fading away as I learn to love myself enough to take care of my well-being. Jelina truly understands the pain, frustration, and feelings of failure that come with weight struggles. She is kind and empathetic but also provides expert advice on how to dig deep, forgive ourselves, and move forward to become a healthier version of ourselves. I am grateful to have her as my guide on this transformational journey. Whenever I need a boost, she is there, supporting me every step of the way. Thank you, Jelina, for helping me regain control of my life and rediscover a healthier, happier version of myself. Your program has been a true blessing, and I am excited about the positive changes I continue to experience under your guidance."

"Some of you know I've experienced a recent weight loss. It's been intentional and was prompted by recent blood work that showed I was "pre-diabetic." I was determined to get the marker in check and prevent becoming diabetic. As a former pharmacist I had seen the prevalence of Diabetes Type 2 increase astronomically over my 35-year career and was damn sure I was not about to go there. I was at the grocery store with the intention of buying healthy food and was paralyzed with uncertainty. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO EAT! Fortunately, I knew what to do. I texted Jelina Shah right there in the produce section. We've been friends and colleagues for years. She runs a consulting service specializing in diabetic coaching and weight loss. We started weekly Zoom meetings in mid-May. She helped me implement evidence-based changes that were simple and made sense. There was no calorie-counting, no self-sabotage and really nothing off limits. Here I am twenty pounds lighter. I'm loving all the compliments! I am so grateful to Jelina for helping me get to this point and being my biggest fan."

"It all started in 2018! I broke my ankle in April 2018 and gained weight. When I finally said enough and started a journey back to health in January 2019, I got pregnant in February 2019. Since then, the way I felt in my skin was really the last priority. I've been pre-diabetic since! After several derailed attempts to feel better in my skin, I committed to making a healthier and sustainable lifestyle stick this year. I re-started in January 2023 but was barely losing weight and feeling grumpy/sorry for myself. When I saw Terri (one of Jelina's clients) in dance class, I just had to get in on that secret! I wanted to lose weight, have a good and kind mood as my baseline, feel fit, and look/feel good in my clothes—all without feeling punished. Before working with Jelina, I felt like I didn't look great and my confidence in the way I looked was no longer there. I was worried that I would eventually become diabetic and how that would affect the quality of life I had as a parent. I was easily overwhelmed and would have numerous sleepless nights ruminating about what was and my worries. The cost was the hardest part to overcome for me. I saw that Jelina's method was effective through Terri. Jelina didn't try to sell me that hard through promises—she spoke of results in every single one of her clients. She sold me on lifestyle and science-backed information. The fact that she provided a 4-week guarantee was amazing. After that 4 weeks, the cost of the program was the furthest thing from my mind. Best investment ever! By working with Jelina, I have experienced incredible results: lowered A1C, 4-5 inches off my waistline since last year, and an improvement in my bloodwork that impressed my doctors. I'm not stressed about what to eat, I don't worry about not being able to go to the gym or a fitness class, and I have more energy to play and enjoy playing with my son. I have a rejuvenated excitement for work and am more resilient to derailment. Yes, working with Jelina has increased my level of joy and confidence in myself! I also loved her coaching style. She adjusts it based on my mood—some days, I'm just not in the mood for super cheerful positive people—hahaha. The single most important thing people should know about working with Jelina is that she provides the tools and the science for the tools. She also gives recommendations on how to practically apply the tools. But people have to know that they still have to be committed to the change. Thank you for everything, Jelina!"
