Prior
to the program I thought my health concerns
were hopeless, but I
no longer feel this way.
Since
beginning the program, my joints have loosened
and I experience
less pain, my knees feel a lot looser and
better than they have in years,
my eating habits have changed dramatically,
I'm experiencing more joy,
my memory has improved, my skin has improved,
and my breath has
improved. Also, being a professional performer,
I have noticed that my
performances have become more expressive.
Alok is knowledgeable, caring, funny (important
for good health), and
wise in knowing what I needed. He has been
good influence on me
becoming organized. He is inspiring and
honest and has created a safe
space for me. Alok helped me clean up and
I love the way he puts
together group events. Thanks Alok.

Since
beginning the program, I have an exponentially
greater sense of
myself as a healthy individual. I have begun
to understand my body's
many messages and to heed them in a way that
has me feel balanced.
The redness I used to have on my belly has
disappeared, I no longer
need painkillers during my period, and I went
from size 11 to size 8.
I no longer make those around me wrong for
their different food
choices. I am finally at cause with regard
to my health - I can feel
immediate effect of what I eat and know what
to do for my health.
The one-on-one sessions always left me inspired
and clear that I'm
on the perfect path. I loved the cooking classes
for the sense of
community they created around my personal
journey and I loved
screaming like a cab driver in the boiler
room.
Alok is an amazing listener. He very peacefully
and non-judgmentally
reminds you that you are on your perfect path.
He also always knows
what you need during each session, whether
it be reiki, a healthful
meal, or an opportunity to shout out your
tension. He is the perfect
guide for the journey and an amazing clearing
for my discoveries.
This program has changed my life. Thank you.

Since
beginning the program, the way I feel about
food has changed.
I eat less fast food. I really crave purchasing
green, leafy vegetables
and stopped craving sugar. It's easier for
me to turn deserts down
because I know I can fix my sweet cravings
in other ways. I prepare my
own food more than before. I found out what
foods cause and decrease
inflammations and discovered great health
resources. I feel like one of
the privileged few who are told a great
secret. Finding and learning have
been the most exciting and beneficial aspects
of the program.
Alok
is pretty knowledgeable about healing benefits
in foods. He is
peaceful, centered, willing to listen, and
a good poet too. He is
successful because he too came from a place
where all that he now
teaches was once new to him. Thank you for
the lessons.

Since
beginning the program with Alok I have a
more fun, less neurotic
look at what's healthy and what's not. I
feel stronger and more in
charge of my choices. I have moved towards
almost only organic foods,
yet I don't blink when I am out or if for
other reasons eat non-organic
foods. I benefited from Alok's lecture "The
Energetics of Food," from all
the one-on-one sessions, and from Alok's
energy and joyous look at
health. I enjoyed the meditations and the
cooking classes.
Alok
is a knowledgeable health counselor with
a relaxed look at life
and pleasure. He enjoys food and views it
as more than just a necessity.
He is definitely holistic and has no problem
saying he doesn't know and
becomes enthusiastic to learn.
Thanks
to the time I have spent with Alok I have
positively changed the
view of people around me regarding health,
food, and energy, including
my own views.

Roseanne
was wonderful to work with. I received an
enormous amount of
education about different nutritional theories
from around the world, which
proved to be both physically and intellectually
stimulating for my personal
goal of achieving a healthier diet and lifestyle.
The results were unexpected
and fantastic - within a few months I had
dropped 15 lbs. and returned to
my ideal weight, lost my addiction to desserts
and those afternoon food-
comas. I now feel much healthier and have
a new awareness about what
I am putting into my body.
- Alex Moulton

Roseanne's
enthusiasm towards a healthy way of eating
is absolutely contagious.
The instant I began working with her my attitude
towards food drastically changed
for the better and now I crave vegetables
and know how to prepare them in a way that
tastes good. The one-on-one counseling was
just what I needed to deepen my
journey towards better health.

I'm
approaching the end of my program with Alok.
At first I thought
that six months were a long period of time,
but now I don't want it to
be over so quickly. When I started the program,
I was a little scared. I
didn't know what to expect. I especially
didn't expect all the really nice
surprises the program includes.
Now I'm eating healthy food almost 100%
of the time and I feel happy. I
discovered how delicious and diverse health
food could be. Step by
step I'm learning how to satisfy my body
and mind's different needs.
I'm now aware of how important my health
and the health of the planet
are. That's why I buy organic food.
The
program isn't just about food. We talk about
the relationship
between food, emotions, and past experiences.
For me it's therapy. It
helps me a lot.

Since
I've been working with Alok, I have been
able to make important
healthy changes in my life. The process
has been incredibly gentle, as
is Alok's approach. He is able to work with
me, where I am at, and give
realistic recommendations with no pressure.
After a few months I have
lost weight, improved digestion, expanded
my knowledge of foods and
cooking, gained more focus and energy toward
personal growth,
became more physically active, and experienced
more energy in
general. Thanks Alok.

I
lost weight I've been trying to lose for
six years and my skin cleared

benefits, working with Alok has given me
freedom and power with the

program is noteworthy
for being professional, supportive, loving,
and truly conscious.

Since
beginning the program with Alok I have more
awareness of my
health needs. I have learned how to eat
better. I now eat to live and
not live to eat and I still enjoy food.
I cook more and feel less stress.
I'm taking things more in stride at home
and at the office. I found
both the group classes and the one-on-one
sessions to be very
beneficial. I enjoyed the fellowship in
the cooking classes and
meeting diverse people and I enjoyed the
revelations I got at the
one-on-one sessions. These sessions made
me go beyond my
boundaries and stretch beyond my limits.
Alok is wonderful, caring,
compassionate, open minded, respectful,
and full of wisdom. And
by the way, my waist size went down from
38 to 35 and I'm on my
way to 34.

Alok
is great not only as a counselor but as
a person as well. You get a
very clear sense that he is there to help
you in a very genuine way.
Going to see Alok is like going to visit
an old wise man. He always has
the answer for your needs and his presence
heals by itself. I’m feeling
more grounded, making healthier choices
in my diet and in my
lifestyle. More energy. More thoughtful
of balance in my life. I found
the tools used in the program to be beneficial
– specific food
recommendations, recipes, and in general,
the feeling of support. I
highly recommend it. He is one of those
people it’s hard to come
by. Thanks! It was a great experience. The
program is definitely a
bonus, but it’s truly Alok Health.

After
the six-month program with Alok, I have
a much better balance
with my moods. I lost weight and am looking
better. I have a better
understanding of food qualities and gotten
to know what's good for
me. I enjoy better relationships with my
family, with my employees,
and with people in general. Alok is an amazing
and understanding
guide.

I'm
halfway through my six month program with
Alok, and it has
already been very helpful for me. Alok is
supportive, insightful, and a
great listener. I've worked hard in the past
at "getting my diet
together," but with Alok's counseling
I never feel pressured. This program
simplifies the process and now I see that
health really can be fun and
easy, not hard work. I'm eating much more
delicious, homecooked
food. Not every meal I have is "perfect,"
but as I make changes, I'm
feeling consistently better physically and
emotionally. I'm also
addressing other areas of my life which needed
attention, such as my
career and finances. It's amazing how eating
good quality food helps in
seeing one's life and dreams with more clarity.
I'm creating the life I
want to live, and that feels good! Thanks
Alok, for your support.

Alok
is an amazing health counselor. His approach
is simply natural. I
appreciated the way he responded to my concerns
and issues instead
of forcing any doctrines on me. Each session
was catered to answering
my questions. I always left my sessions
with a positive feeling and a
sense of knowledge. I particularly enjoyed
the sessions that made me
push my limits and do things I don't normally
do. I now have heightened
awareness concerning what I eat, when I
eat, why I eat certain foods. I
have more energy now than six months ago.
Spiritually, I feel healthier
from the inside out. This program has truly
influenced my life.

During
my program with Alok I stopped using sweeteners,
became
more cautious of my diet, began making healthier
choices, stopped
drinking black tea and coffee, dramatically
reduced dairy consumption,
and started doing reiki, yoga, and to meditate.
Alok is very resourceful,
patient, and gentle; he works without being
pushy or forceful. I thank
Alok for being a great guide in my process
of becoming a healthier and
happier person.

I saw a nutritionist
once in the past who gave me dietary coaching.
I didn't manage to sustain weight loss however,
because we never got to the root of what
had me over-eating and staying heavy. With
Roseanne, I came to understand that my problems
with food did not stem from food, per se,
but rather from my own feelings of vulnerability,
fear of intimacy (excess weight was my 'reason'
for not opening my heart and body to another),
fear of success, and spiritual stagnation.
Thanks to Roseanne's amazing spiritual and
loving guidance, my whole approach to life
(and food) has shifted; in only two months,
I've lost nearly 15 pounds. If those aren't
powerful results, I don't know what are.

Since I began
the program with Alok, I eat much healthier
food than before. I am attracted to better
food. Much more cooking than before
this is a positive change. I care more about
myself. Im being more assertive in
service of myself. I have more respect towards
myself. Ive learned how to figure
out my boundaries and how to assert them.
Ive
learned to give myself permission to focus
on myself, my health, and whats best
for me. I now acknowledge that it is worth
the time and energy to become educated about
other foods and choices.
I enjoyed
learning about new and different foods,
balances of food, and what different foods
have to offer. I also enjoyed trying new
things that were suggested during the sessions
and at the cooking classes.
Aloks
patience has made it work for me. Thank
you Alok.

I
have had four meetings with Alok, not counting
my initial consultation, and my life has
changed. The change has been subtle, but
empowering. It all started with gaining
a better understanding of what I have been
consuming and how it effects me.
I've never
really been attached to particular foods.
Of course I've used food for more than just
nourishing myself - to alleviate boredom,
to find comfort on a blue day, to reward
myself for just making it through the day.
But what amazes me now is that I don't use
food like that anymore. I eat food when
I am hungry and when I am full I stop eating.
I don't crave particular foods, and I almost
never need to snack during the day. My big
indulgence has become a glass of soymilk
at the end of the day.
It started
by evaluating my relationship with Diet
Coke and soft drinks. Why do I drink it,
how do I feel when I drink it and how do
I feel afterwards? You don't need to be
a cert! ified health counselor to know that
brown bubbly liquid isn't healthy for you-but
having Alok ask me to examine my relationship
with this beverage group was enough for
me to not only evaluate my relationship,
but to "break up" with all soft
drinks. Then I gave up caffeine and artificial
sweetener in my decaf coffee, you know,
coffee tastes pretty good without sweetener.
Then I replaced milk in my coffee with soymilk.
It was easy and I felt good psychologically
that I was treating myself better.
Slowly my
lunch choices stopped including breads and
animal products and started consisting of
veggies, brown rice, salads-there are at
least four restaurants in my work neighborhood
that deliver this stuff to me. I never cook
at home, but lately I've mastered kale and
grains (quinoa and buckwheat).
I try to eat
things that I would recognize in their natural
state of growth or harvest: fruits, vegetables,
grains, nuts, eggs. It is how I have guided
my food choices. When I'm ! in the airport
and I'm starving, instead of pretzels or
a bagel, I get nuts or dried fruit. The
hardest part of eating for me was deciding
what to eat when I was hungry-I don't really
have that problem anymore.
Alok's approach
is not intimidating, it is easy. It is not
militant. If I wanted Diet Coke, I would
have it. I still eat chicken and fish and
on special occasions have cake and ice cream
and I don't think twice about it-but I don't
eat as much of it as I used to. I can't.
I don't want to. Without thinking about
it I've lost inches and my old clothes fit,
my mood is more stable and I am interested
in my inner self, my organs and my blood
and my intestines and helping them keep
me feeling good. I also go to the bathroom
regularly now-and everyone knows that's
how we "monitor" our health. Thank
you Alok! This program is the best investment
I've ever made in myself, for now and for
the future.

I
had the most wonderful thing happen to me
five months ago! I met Alok, my health counselor.
I came to Alok with pieces of a puzzle that
included fatigue, headaches and the most
intense PMS one could imagine. Alok really
listened to me and what was going on in
my life. He helped me piece together how
changes in my diet as well as some lifestyle
changes could help to reduce these symptoms.
He awakened
me to the idea that there are some simple
pleasures that, like many of us, I denied
myself. I could give myself permission to
relax, eat my breakfast slowly and not at
my desk or standing at the kitchen counter
or just take some more time out for myself.
He introduced
me to new foods like millet which I find
so soothing on a cold winter morning. While
I was cooking some of my meals at home,
Alok gave me guidance on simplifying things
to get me to cook more often.
I am happy
to say that I very rarely ever get a headache
and my PMS is practically non-existent.
I have more energy than I know what to do
with. I never dreamed five short months
ago my life would be so changed. Alok has
been compassionate and supportive and I
feel very comfortable talking to and working
with him. Why just look at that smile!!!!

Since beginning
the program with Alok, I've experienced
increased energy and positive attitude.
I care about the things I put into my body.
I care more about my body. I care more about
the people in my life.
I've learned
to add certain foods into my diet. The cooking
classes helped me begin to cook at home.
The lectures taught me that I should experiment
with what foods are good for me.
I've always
enjoyed my counseling sessions with Alok.
He is a very positive person. He never judges
me; he makes me feel that all my decisions
are the right ones for me. I have been a
happier person since I started the program
with Alok.

I have experienced
many positive changes since the beginning
of the six-month program. I have a better
attitude towards nutrition. The program
sparkled an interest in healing with whole
foods. I enjoy better eating habits. I no
longer need caffeine or fast food. I enjoy
a healthier body and healthier choices.
The one-on-one sessions allowed me to talk
about personal health issues and goals.
The cooking classes allowed for social interaction,
exposure to a variety of nutritional foods,
and helped to experience cooking as a pleasurable,
social activity.
Alok is a
very warm person with a deep understanding
of nutrition. He understands the client's
current health status and celebrates successes
during the program.
God bless
you always, Alok. Thanks for all your support.
May you be rewarded in many ways.

Alok is worthy
of human trust and has a highly developed

He has an honest and caring spirit and is
effective in the science and the art of
creating personal transformation in the
lives of his clients, family, friends and
pretty much anyone he meets.
He is an expert
in the areas of diet and nutrition, personal
relationships, fitness and exercise as well
as career guidance and spiritual development.
Journey with him. Your life will never be
the same.

Alok
is a refreshing change from the preconceived
notion of what a
health counselor should be. For those looking
to heal their body
through whole foods, heal their mind through
a holistic perspective of
the world and heal their spirit through
a reverent approach to the
universe, Alok is the guy to see, to know
and to work with. Here's a
truly loving being who has a deep appreciation
for life in all its glorious
facets. Holistic health is what Alok uses
as the key to entering that
realm. The program has helped me a great
deal to understand my path
and to put more energy into correcting areas
of weakness. What I find
especially valuable is his insight into
how organic food affects
consciousness, energy and spirituality.
Get to know Alok. You'll be
glad you did.

to set intentions clearly

to happen. Alok is honest,

Since
beginning the program with Alok, I became
more intuitive and
aware of what happens to my body when I
do not eat as well. Kale,
collard greens, brown rice - they all became
important part of my life.
My life experience has totally changed.
I'm more fluid, every day is
different, every new day is something to
look forward to. I became
more patient with myself. The sessions with
Alok did not focus only
on nutrition, but rather on the whole person.
Whenever I incorporated
Alok's recommendations I saw a difference
in my attitude and health.
I enjoyed the cooking classes where I had
the chance to meet others
on the same path or mindset. Alok is a trusting,
honest, authentic,
and fun health counselor.

my program with Alok I stopped using sweeteners,
became
more cautious of my diet, began making healthier
choices, stopped
drinking black tea and coffee, dramatically
reduced dairy consumption,
and started doing reiki, yoga, and to meditate.
Alok is very resourceful,
patient, and gentle; he works without being
pushy or forceful. I thank
Alok for being a great guide in my process
of becoming a healthier and
happier person. - Yuliya

Since
I began the program with Alok, I eat much
healthier food than before.
I am attracted to better food. Much more
cooking than before this is a
positive change. I care more about myself.
Im being more assertive in
service of myself. I have more respect towards
myself. Ive learned how to
figure out my boundaries and how to assert
them.
Ive
learned to give myself permission to focus
on myself, my health, and
whats best for me. I now acknowledge
that it is worth the time and energy
to become educated about other foods and
choices.
I
enjoyed learning about new and different
foods, balances of food, and what
different foods have to offer. I also enjoyed
trying new things that were
suggested during the sessions and at the
cooking classes.
Aloks
patience has made it work for me. Thank
you Alok. - Dr.

I
have had four meetings with Alok, not counting
my initial
consultation, and my life has changed. The
change has been subtle,
but empowering. It all started with gaining
a better understanding of
what I have been consuming and how it effects
me.
I've
never really been attached to particular
foods. Of course I've used
food for more than just nourishing myself
- to alleviate boredom, to
find comfort on a blue day, to reward myself
for just making it through
the day. But what amazes me now is that
I don't use food like that
anymore. I eat food when I am hungry and
when I am full I stop eating.
I don't crave particular foods, and I almost
never need to snack during
the day. My big indulgence has become a
glass of soymilk at the end of
the day.
It
started by evaluating my relationship with
Diet Coke and soft drinks.
Why do I drink it, how do I feel when I
drink it and how do I feel
afterwards? You don't need to be a cert!
ified health counselor to know
that brown bubbly liquid isn't healthy for
you-but having Alok ask me
to examine my relationship with this beverage
group was enough for
me to not only evaluate my relationship,
but to "break up" with all soft
drinks. Then I gave up caffeine and artificial
sweetener in my decaf
coffee, you know, coffee tastes pretty good
without sweetener. Then I
replaced milk in my coffee with soymilk.
It was easy and I felt good
psychologically that I was treating myself
better.
Slowly
my lunch choices stopped including breads
and animal products
and started consisting of veggies, brown
rice, salads-there are at least
four restaurants in my work neighborhood
that deliver this stuff to me.
I never cook at home, but lately I've mastered
kale and grains (quinoa
and buckwheat).
I
try to eat things that I would recognize
in their natural state of growth
or harvest: fruits, vegetables, grains,
nuts, eggs. It is how I have guided
my food choices. When I'm ! in the airport
and I'm starving, instead of
pretzels or a bagel, I get nuts or dried
fruit. The hardest part of eating
for me was deciding what to eat when I was
hungry-I don't really have
that problem anymore.
Alok's
approach is not intimidating, it is easy.
It is not militant. If I
wanted Diet Coke, I would have it. I still
eat chicken and fish and on
special occasions have cake and ice cream
and I don't think twice
about it-but I don't eat as much of it as
I used to. I can't. I don't want
to. Without thinking about it I've lost
inches and my old clothes fit, my
mood is more stable and I am interested
in my inner self, my organs
and my blood and my intestines and helping
them keep me feeling
good. I also go to the bathroom regularly
now-and everyone knows
that's how we "monitor" our health.
Thank you Alok! This program is
the best investment I've ever made in myself,
for now and for the future. - Debbie

I
had the most wonderful thing happen to me
five months ago! I
met Alok, my health counselor. I came to
Alok with pieces of a
puzzle that included fatigue, headaches
and the most intense
PMS one could imagine. Alok really listened
to me and what was
going on in my life. He helped me piece
together how changes in
my diet as well as some lifestyle changes
could help to reduce
these symptoms.
He
awakened me to the idea that there are some
simple pleasures
that, like many of us, I denied myself.
I could give myself
permission to relax, eat my breakfast slowly
and not at my desk
or standing at the kitchen counter or just
take some more time
out for myself.
He
introduced me to new foods like millet which
I find so soothing
on a cold winter morning. While I was cooking
some of my meals at
home, Alok gave me guidance on simplifying
things to get me to
cook more often.
I
am happy to say that I very rarely ever
get a headache and my PMS
is practically non-existent. I have more
energy than I know what to
do with. I never dreamed five short months
ago my life would be so
changed. Alok has been compassionate and
supportive and I feel
very comfortable talking to and working
with him. Why just look at
that smile!!!! - Michele

Since
beginning the program with Alok, I've experienced
increased
energy and positive attitude. I care about
the things I put into my
body. I care more about my body. I care
more about the people in
my life.
I've
learned to add certain foods into my diet.
The cooking classes
helped me begin to cook at home. The lectures
taught me that I
should experiment with what foods are good
for me.
I've
always enjoyed my counseling sessions with
Alok. He is a very
positive person. He never judges me; he
makes me feel that all my
decisions are the right ones for me. I have
been a happier person
since I started the program with Alok. - Julie

Roseanne
was wonderful to work with. I received an
enormous amount of
education about different nutritional theories
from around the world, which
proved to be both physically and intellectually
stimulating for my personal
goal of achieving a healthier diet and lifestyle.
The results were unexpected
and fantastic - within a few months I had
dropped 15 lbs. and returned to
my ideal weight, lost my addiction to desserts
and those afternoon food-
comas. I now feel much healthier and have
a new awareness about what
I am putting into my body.

Prior
to the program I thought my health concerns
were hopeless, but I
no longer feel this way.
Since
beginning the program, my joints have loosened
and I experience
less pain, my knees feel a lot looser and
better than they have in years,
my eating habits have changed dramatically,
I'm experiencing more joy,
my memory has improved, my skin has improved,
and my breath has
improved. Also, being a professional performer,
I have noticed that my
performances have become more expressive.
Alok is knowledgeable, caring, funny (important
for good health), and
wise in knowing what I needed. He has been
good influence on me
becoming organized. He is inspiring and
honest and has created a safe
space for me. Alok helped me clean up and
I love the way he puts
together group events. Thanks Alok. - Michael

Since
I've been working with Alok, I have been
able to make important
healthy changes in my life. The process
has been incredibly gentle, as
is Alok's approach. He is able to work with
me, where I am at, and give
realistic recommendations with no pressure.
After a few months I have
lost weight, improved digestion, expanded
my knowledge of foods and
cooking, gained more focus and energy toward
personal growth,
became more physically active, and experienced
more energy in
general. Thanks Alok. - Rob

Since
beginning the program with Alok I have more
awareness of my
health needs. I have learned how to eat
better. I now eat to live and
not live to eat and I still enjoy food.
I cook more and feel less stress.
I'm taking things more in stride at home
and at the office. I found
both the group classes and the one-on-one
sessions to be very
beneficial. I enjoyed the fellowship in
the cooking classes and
meeting diverse people and I enjoyed the
revelations I got at the
one-on-one sessions. These sessions made
me go beyond my
boundaries and stretch beyond my limits.
Alok is wonderful, caring,
compassionate, open minded, respectful,
and full of wisdom. And
by the way, my waste size went down from
38 to 35 and I'm on my
way to 34. - Dr.

After
the six-month program with Alok, I have
a much better balance
with my moods. I lost weight and am looking
better. I have a better
understanding of food qualities and gotten
to know what's good for
me. I enjoy better relationships with my
family, with my employees,
and with people in general. Alok is an amazing
and understanding
guide. - Rafael

Since
beginning the program with Alok I have a
more fun, less neurotic
look at what's healthy and what's not. I
feel stronger and more in
charge of my choices. I have moved towards
almost only organic foods,
yet I don't blink when I am out or if for
other reasons eat non-organic
foods. I benefited from Alok's lecture "The
Energetics of Food," from all
the one-on-one sessions, and from Alok's
energy and joyous look at
health. I enjoyed the meditations and the
cooking classes.
Alok
is a knowledgeable health counselor with
a relaxed look at life
and pleasure. He enjoys food and views it
as more than just a necessity.
He is definitely holistic and has no problem
saying he doesn't know and
becomes enthusiastic to learn.
Thanks
to the time I have spent with Alok I have
positively changed the
view of people around me regarding health,
food, and energy, including
my own views. - Emanuele

I
feel more in control of my life, have a
better understanding about the
right food for me, and know my body better.
Alok is sensitive, kind,
and wise. Thank you Alok, you gave me power. - Ilan

I
have experienced many positive changes since
the beginning of the
six-month program. I have a better attitude
towards nutrition. The
program sparkled an interest in healing
with whole foods. I enjoy better
eating habits. I no longer need caffeine
or fast food. I enjoy a healthier
body and healthier choices. The one-on-one
sessions allowed me to
talk about personal health issues and goals.
The cooking classes
allowed for social interaction, exposure
to a variety of nutritional
foods, and helped to experience cooking
as a pleasurable, social
activity.
Alok
is a very warm person with a deep understanding
of nutrition. He
understands the client's current health
status and celebrates successes
during the program.
God
bless you always, Alok. Thanks for all your
support. May you be
rewarded in many ways. - Jorge
