Mariana Bowman, RD, CNSD

Ms. Mariana Bowman, director of Sweet Science Nutrition, received a Bachelor's Degree in Dietetics from Brigham Young University.

Ms. Bowman is also a qualified CNSD (Certified Nutrition Support Dietitian).

Sweet Science Nutrition is a comprehensive nutrition consulting center located in the heart of Pasadena's business district. Our team takes a unique approach to nutrition therapy. We've all tried one-size-fits-all diets--mass-market paperbacks that ignore our unique challenges and push us toward a single, cure-all solution. Many health professionals use outdated equations to compute our caloric needs. This approach may miss the mark by hundreds of calories. After all, an educated guess is still a guess.

The truth is, no weight-loss program will ever be effective without precisely identifying what our bodies require. At Sweet Science Nutrition, we apply the very latest metabolic research to assess your needs accurately. We treat nutrition as a science. The Sweet Science Nutrition team includes qualified registered dietitians and physical fitness experts.

PERSONALIZED COUNSELING SESSIONS with a registered dietitian (RD). Our on-site RDs have ample clinical experience; they're trained to prevent and treat conditions (such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity) based on your physician's diagnosis.

METABOLIC TESTING
State of the art technology that measures rather that "guesstimates" your specific needs. Did you know that your metabolism can differ by hundreds of calories from people of the exact same height, weight, age and gender?

For the first time, technology previously available only in research facilities and hospitals makes it possible for your metabolic rate to be accurately measured through a simple, 10-minute breathing test.

Metabolic-rate measurement is crucial when it comes to successful weight maintenance. Without an accurate picture of their metabolic needs, over 90% of people who lose weight gain it all back. Once we know our bodies' precise requirements, we can avoid eating any more or less than we should.

GET FIT WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAM
Sweet Science Nutrition is excited to offer an 8-week program based on the rigorous research of dietitians and fitness professionals. When it comes to weight loss, most of us know WHAT to do -- eat right, exercise regularly -- but few know HOW to do it.

At Sweet Science, we begin each consultation with a full diagnostic, assessing your body type, lifestyle and metabolic "speed." Next we tailor a weight-loss plan to fit to your specific needs, helping you celebrate the food and physical activities you love while still losing weight. We incorporate the latest breakthroughs in medical nutrition therapy, behavior modification and exercise science.

The GET FIT Program not only provides you with the tools you need to achieve a healthy weight -- it supports your ongoing effort to maintain that weight. We help you keep healthy for life.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

• Measure your metabolic rate to find out the maximum amount of food you can eat and still lose weight. Learn how to boost your metabolism to burn more calories.
  
  
• Practice getting more satisfaction from the food you eat. (Feeling deprived is the number-one reason most people stray from their diet.)
  
  
• Lower your stress level. (The "old-wives' tale" that stress makes you fat? It's true.)
  
  
• Stay connected beyond the 8-week program via email support for an entire year. (Studies show that long-term weight-loss success depends on frequent contact with your weight-loss coach.)

CORPORATE WELLNESS
Corporate wellness programs raise employee awareness of nutrition- and fitness-related issues and steer them toward smarter choices. A healthier workforce will strengthen the company, boosting morale and productivity. Additionally, employees will claim fewer sick days -- saving countless corporate dollars.
