Community Health Resource Center

This place is an awesome resource for anyone who has nutritional concerns. Whether you need something very specific like a chemotherapy diet plan or your just looking to drop a few pounds, there is a nutritionalist at CHRC that can help you out.
The best part is the sliding scale payment system, which starts at as low as $ 30 a session! Those of you who have ever seen a nutritionalist in San Francisco know how amazing of a deal that is!

I love this place. The first person to greet you is Linda. A wonderful person. She is not only the office admistrator but the go to person, the glue, the core.
All of the nutritionists are great. I started with Laura, but unfortunately she has moved and had to leave. I Now see Elena and love her too. Each have very different styles. There are enough nutritionists here that if you are not feeling the style of one, see someone else. I recommend this office highly. I too, had gastric surgery and have had to learn about eating properly and it has been an ongoing process. I am 2 years out and Elena has worked with me through some challenges. What ever kind of help you need, I am sure you can find it here.

I first came to CHRC in 2010 as I was in preparation for Gastric Bypass Surgery. I finally had surgery last November 2011, so I am not 1 year+ surguversary! WOO HOO! Although I have faced challenges none of them include weight gain, but they do involve PLATEAU! UGH!
It looks like my body, after losing near 120 in a year has shouted HOLD ON!!! So, I came back to see Laura Scherling who is by far in my opinion, the BEST Nutritionist I have EVER met and worked with! She helped me drastically in the beginning with «attitude» towards food, and taking care of ME! Which seems hard for most of us nurturer types. Oddly enough.
At yesterdays appointment with Laura, she talked to me about an iphone app designed to help us attain our goal! IMHO the BEST I’ve seen yet! Again, Laura listens and she comes thru with answers all the time, Honestly she really listens and offers solution after solution! I am excited to be seeing her again in a couple weeks, and look forward to breaking this plateau SOON!
About the APP: This app lets you scan bar codes which then store the nutritional facts into the app, wow! I just scanned my Blue Diamond almonds and it worked!
So let’s say I have 10 almonds, I select it and the app logs it into my journal, calories, protein an ALL!!! I’m telling you, I’m going to be one scanning fool today in the kitchen. Time well spent … I’m investing time and taking care of me! Check it out…

Just went to my first CHRC seminar tonight … Living Gluten Free. It exceeded my expectations. I came away with so much great information and the speaker was wonderful. I feel much more confident going into this new way of eating. The additional resources given were above what I had hoped for. Thankfully these days there is tons of information to be found on the Internet … this program helped make it so much more manageable and provide direction. Thank you CHRC!
