Testimonials

Amie conquered my stomach issues that I’ve had for years, including the everyday bloating.  Once that was resolved, we moved on to life changing eating habits.

On a daily basis, Amie has kept me on track with everyday meal planning, and sets weekly goals, along with giving me great ideas to change things up a bit to keep me interested.  As I take part in my gyms fitness challenges,  Amie customizes a meal plan for me, that makes it easy to follow with much success in winning.

Today, I’m in a different, healthier mind set when it comes to food, as well as, given me confidence with the choices I make whether I’m at home or on the go, not only for me, but for my family as well. It’s been 2 years now working with Amie I couldn’t have done this without her. 

Thank you Amie!

I was very confused about what healthy eating looked like before I worked with Amie. So many diets give such different information! Amie works so patiently with me and teaches me how to make healthy choices and more importantly, how to think about food and create great habits. It is such fun to feel better, look better and still get joy from food!

— Alison F

I really enjoyed working with Amie! I’m not new to nutrition and exercise so I was really impressed with the very current and science based advice Amie had for me. Amie listened carefully to my specific challenges and gave me practical, easy to follow instructions.

Thank you Amie!

I have struggled with my weight ever since having my kids. I would workout and workout and workout some more, but the scale never budged. It wasn’t until I joined a 21-day challenge at my gym where they incorporated a dietitian to work with you, that I finally did see a change. Amie created a custom meal plan, provided me with the tools, support and motivation that I had been missing (and didn’t know I was missing). I finally saw the scale moving in the right direction, but it was more than that. I felt better, slept better, and had more energy.

Amie was always there to offer me encouragement and provide additional tips to keep me going even on the days that I may not have hit my nutrition goals. She isn’t about a quick fix. This really is about a lifestyle change and one that I know how to manage without feeling deprived.

Amie is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, and it shows. So thankful that I was given the opportunity to work with her.

My Healthy Lifestyle journey with Amie began over 10 years ago when she was working at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington D.C. Over our 3 years of working together, her personalized weekly sessions with me included physically walking the hallways of the facility while discussing my daily exercise, food and drink routine. Furthermore, she made suggestions to ensure I had healthier nutrition and exercise habits. This encouraged me to continue with walks around my neighborhood and I transformed to an improved eating lifestyle. These changes produced favorable results! I lost weight, my physician reduced my prescription medication, and I felt better overall. This was due to Amie’s expert guidance and example. 

However, "duty" called, and my time with Amie ended much quicker than I wanted. The military sent her husband (and her) to a military facility on the west coast. However, we remained in touch on Facebook. We re-connected about a year and a half ago, when Amie called and said that she was starting her own small business and asked if I wanted to, again, have consultations with her to discuss my healthy lifestyle journey. I eagerly agreed and we’re once again having regular weight management lifestyle discussions via FaceTime! She’s a great listener and a true professional. She takes copious notes and sends those to me at the end of each session to applaud my accomplishments and state suggestions to maintain/improve my daily regimen. Her expert advice helps keep me accountable and very much aware of where I am on my Healthy Lifestyle journey. In short, Amie knows what needs to happen to keep me “HealthStrong”!

Everyone talks about nutrition but very few people understand it. If you are like me, I needed to find somebody who knew what they were talking about, someone that could help guide me down the journey of find good health and nutrition.

Amie was recommended to me by a friend, I have never hired a dietitian before, but it’s one of the best things that I ever did. Not only can Amie diagnose your shortcomings in nutrition but she is able to guide and mentor you through the tough areas of making good choices with food and exercise.

I would highly recommend Amie as a nutrition consultant to help you reach your goals!

I was one of those people that worked out a couple of times a week and ate whatever I wanted. I liked to work out and always tried to make time for exercise, but with young kids and their schedules, my only option was to fit it in where I could. I got into my 40’s and realized my metabolism and life caught up with me and I started to see weight coming on and my body changing- not for the better. It started to get to me mentally and I knew I needed to find not only an exercise program that I liked but, of course, it had to fit with my schedule. I started working out regularly and realized nothing was changing. Friends had their opinions, but I was discouraged and needed to see a specialist in food to see what suggestions they had.

I was introduced to Amie Louwers, Registered Dietitian, owner, and founder of Health Strong, LLC through a fitness trainer. At that time, I had been kickboxing for about a year, 4-5 days a week. I had never worked with a dietitian nor thought I needed to, as I wasn’t too overweight and thought “Why I couldn’t do this myself”. However, I wasn’t feeling myself and knew I needed to get 10 lbs. off at least. With the amount I was working out I didn’t understand why I wasn’t seeing results-neither weight loss nor muscle toning. I just wasn’t happy with myself and wanted to find out if my diet was the problem. Turns out it was.

I have been working with Amie Louwers since September 11, 2020. She has truly changed my life. As a mom of now two active teenage girls that keep me busy and are very involved in sports, I continue to keep exercising a part of my life to set a good example of a healthy lifestyle them. Amie and I meet weekly. She helps me stay focused on my goals and gives me new challenges when I need them, so I don’t get bored or burnt out. She keeps me on my toes and pushes me. She is also there to say it is okay to splurge occasionally. She will listen to your struggles and help create a solid plan that is not too extreme - something that fits with your lifestyle. She has a wealth of knowledge in nutrition and is great with anyone starting out or more advanced that needs any nutritional guidance.

Finding Amie has been mind, body and life changing. I now understand how food can impact my body and I have physically seen great results. I couldn’t recommend her more.

I am very grateful that I met Amie during a challenge at my gym. As the dietitian for the challenge, I worked with her for three weeks to hit my goal--I dropped around 9 lbs which made me over the moon happy since I am 56 and have a hard time losing weight these days. Not only did I lose the weight but I kept it off, including the holidays.

I continued to work with Amie after the challenge because we had a great connection—there is something about her energy I just love, and so appreciate that she focuses on your whole self, not just food. With Amie, you never feel bad or guilty about what you eat. However, she continues to encourage you, set goals and be accountable.

As a working mom, plus a foster to several senior dogs with medical conditions, my life is off the charts stressful.

Amie also works with me to set goals on reducing my stress and getting more sleep, both of which, make it possible for me to keep my food in check, exercise and manage everyday life. Days with a good night’s sleep are wildly more successful, productive and happy than my days with little sleep. For that, I am eternally grateful to Amie for helping me set goals AND keeping me accountable to those goals.

Amie is full of helpful hints, food suggestions and ideas for not only me but my entire family. From easy, healthy yet yummy snack ideas to easy food ideas to meet my crazy lifestyle challenges. One of my favorites is the rainbow food challenge where I get my entire family involved with fun meal planning for the week.

Having Amie in my life has taught me to open my mind and be creative about food without overwhelming me and making it feel like a burden.

No matter what your approach to food is, Amie is by your side, guiding you to achieve your health goals.

I have had the honor of working with Amie. I have met very few who have the compassion to recognize that change is hard even though change is your only option. No matter my resistance to her amazing wise counsel, she still coached me and pushed me with kindness. I am still working on learning from all that she is teaching me and will be forever blessed for time she has spent with me. HealthStrong helped me understand weight-loss is about more than losing weight. She recognized that some of my weight was "life" and she always included that in her plans for me to accomplish small daily goals that were as simple as sleep, water, a walk, better time management, and balance with my drive to perform as a musician and pastor and my need to pay more attention to the small choices that can help me be more emotionally and mentally present. She educated me on hormones, blood sugar, small meal planning, water, and things even my regular doctor didn't have time in the short appointments we are allowed, to help me understand could change everything. My greatest accomplishment so far is my attitude about the value of "me". No matter what I accomplish, that is now a permanent change that I get to enjoy every day!! Thank You Amie!!

Amie is so knowledgeable and possesses a calming & compassionate presence - a true professional! She was able to address my specific needs and questions around my health and healthy eating, even down to helping me interpret my bloodwork results and what that said about some of my lifestyle habits. She is great at active listening, which helped her to be able to treat my own unique situation. I was very interested in learning the science behind our food choices (both mine individually and those of modern society). She was able to break it down for me in layman's terms in a way that was easy and actionable. Additionally, she provided some excellent exercise tips to target specific trouble areas, highlighting what's most important to maintain for healthy aging and a fit lifestyle. Amie is easy to talk to and always flexible with meeting times as well. I strongly recommend her and recommend HealthStrong!

I was really struggling with nutrition that was more specific to my own body and the goals I wanted to achieve. Working with Amie really helped me structure something that was realistic and consistent! I am glad that she was the first and only RDN I have worked with. She provided so many great food adjustments and snack ideas that I continue to use now. I have been in contact with meal planning coaches and I was never happy as the meals were always so repetitive and strict. With Amie, I really learned that it’s all about moderation and consistency to still eat foods you enjoy. Even though I am working on my own now, I can still utilize Amie for any questions or concerns I may have. She wants you to succeed and will help any way she can! Thank you so much Amie!

I highly recommend Amie for HealthStrong. I had a wonderful wellness experience with Amie. I didn't feel like I was on a diet, I didn't have to give up any of my favorite foods. Just by changing a couple of things, I noticed great changes in my body. Amie is so knowledgeable and her programs are so easy to follow and stick to.

I learned not only, how to eat well, but to use food as medicine. I finally found a program that I can follow now and forever. Thank you so much Amie for your guidance, support and friendship. Go HealthStrong!!
