Love this podcast!

Incredibly thought-provoking podcast. I always walk away with actionable strategies to improve my health. I also appreciate hearing multiple view points from Dr. Emmie and Jen!

Personal experience with this ‘provider’

Just want to let others know so they aren’t in my position in case they consider working with Shalin. Shewill offer you a ‘Weight Loss Strategy” 1 hour zoom call for $299 but it’s actually just talking about your general ‘root causes’ which I’ve heard from multiple other providers, nothing new, and a sales pitch to join her coaching program for $6999-$8999 for 6 months. That does not include testing or supplements. She does not provide a weight loss strategy. You have to join the coaching program to get that. Which is way out of my price range so I lost $299 which is a lot of money for us. When I asked Shalin for a refund she refused. I wish she was honest during the 15 minute free consult, telling me that the $299 was a gateway for selling her $6999-$8999 program, which I’m sure is great but not affordable for me, so I could have said that and not lost $299. It’s really sad to see a practitioner trick people who are desperate for answers on a limited budget. I hope this saves others from being tricked like I was.
