Northern Nutrition

Fantastic experience: Libby is such a wonderful practioner in her field. Not only is she holistic and investigative to her patients health, she is genuinely caring and honest. I've lost a significant amount of weight postpartum with her advice, education, and strategies. Her appointments are efficiently timed while leaving space for questions and vulnerability. It was so easy to establish rapport and have a safe space with her, unlike many other health professionals (particularly with womens weight management). No judgment here! She provides handout paperwork full of education, goes over labs and adjusts diet as needed, recommended products, and sets realistic expectations. Honestly could not recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Libby is always very positive and willing to help me meet my goals. She works to help me be successful and is a lot of fun too!

Fantastic experience: I appreciate that she was very well prepared and understood my situation very well. She was very very easy to talk to and answered all questions that I had.

Fantastic experience: Libby is super supportive. When I first started seeing Libby she immediately understood the kind of help I need. With Libby’s help I’m down 80 lbs. Her patient guidance has helped me get where I am today and I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. If you’ve made the choice to see Libby, you’ve made the best decision for your nutritional guidance.

Fantastic experience: Libby is so wonderful to work with. She is knowledgeable, kind, and extremely helpful. I would recommend her to my dearest family member, because she takes care with people as if they are that dear to her.

Fantastic experience: Libby is very knowledgeable and had all the resources printed out for us when we arrived for our appointment. I like that she had lab reports ready and was able to suggest nutritional needs based on them. Extremely helpful!

Fantastic experience: Libby is the only Dietician who hasn't just told me to do what she said and "Suck it up". She listened to me and works with me and my needs. I appreciate her so much for her professionalism and heart giving demeanor. I would recommend Libby to anyone who wants to get out of the Diet Rut. She will make you a Meal Plan that's easy for you to follow. She's always willing to listen, and give suggestions to help give help and smooth over bumps in the nutrition/dietary road. She is a complete Jewel. You won't find anyone better. Libby has become more than my Nutritionist, she had become my friend and confidant. I appreciate her allowing me to speak with her in a personal manner and her allowing to share my life with her Practically Perfect in Every Way.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Northern Nutrition by my gastroenterologist at Kootenai. Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! She was well prepared for my first appointment and was very knowledgeable, kind, supportive, encouraging and realistic. She prepared a personalized plan for me based on my complex medical situation and gave me what I expected and more. I feel better prepared and supported to continue with the dietary changes I’ve made for my best health, in conjunction with my oncology needs. Sabrina has enabled me to take control of my healthy eating in fun new ways and options that I can realistically implement and pull off daily. She texted and emailed me the very next day with more helpful info and I know I made the right choice with her as my dietician. I can’t wait to see what happens next! Thank you for your compassionate care of your clients!

Fantastic experience: Very thorough, easy to understand, and thoughtful/helpful in formulating a plan for a successful outcome.

Fantastic experience: Most uplifting and positive resources allowing me to understand and comprehend how to best manage my Diabetes and control this ugly disease. Libbey is so gifted without judgment and has earned my total respect as I'm sure the Doctors have as well. Just as a your favorite sports team it takes hard work, Dedication, Devotion ,Passion And most importantly a skill set of professionals like your Doctor and Diatican working together sharing information to make it all work for the best possible outcome. Northern Nutrition and Selkirk Endocrinologist are that team and they won't let you fail but support you each step of the way Respectfully your grateful patient Mark Fossat

Fantastic experience: Libby is very caring and thorough

Fantastic experience: Northern nutrition is a good place to go for help

Fantastic experience: Libby was very helpful and listened to what I had to say. She gave good suggestions and it was not a you have to do this or else feeling.

Fantastic experience: It was enjoyable meeting Libby today. Yes, her name is Elizabeth, but she goes by Libby. Anyway, she was very knowledgeable and very forthcoming. I look forward to your future visits.

Fantastic experience: Libby is amazing! I have worked with her for a while now on my gut health and weight loss and she is so easy to talk to. She is realistic and tries to help me make changes to my life in order to get sustainable results rather than something that’ll work for a short period of time and not be realistic to maintain long term. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for help with their nutrition goals and cannot say enough good things about her.

Fantastic experience: Libby was so sweet and so much fun to talk to! I learned alot of great things and I just all around enjoyed my appointment. She's definitely a great educator! And Darleene at the front desk is so sweet and was so helpful with finding out what my insurance covers.

Fantastic experience: I felt that Libby understood my frustration with controlling my diabetes. She encouraged me to continue some new behaviors that I have been working on. Both with diet and exercise. I have dropped my A1C by 3 points over a period of time. Feels great.

Fantastic experience: Libby is the best! She takes the time to listen to you and work with you inside of your needs, which a lot of people just don't do anymore. She doesn't preach or scold a client, nor does she take a one-size-fits-all approach ... she really took the time to learn what my conditions are and to help me establish a healthier way to improve upon them. I first met with her a month ago and she helped me to better understand how my diet was affecting my blood sugar levels (T2D), and by enacting her suggestions I have been able to already lower my morning glucose average from 171 to 140 over the past 4 weeks ... and am actually averaging 125 for the last week now! If you are looking for a Nutritionist, especially one who is qualified and specialized in diabetes, you won't find a better one around anywhere in the Inland Northwest!

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth Hugo is just FANTASTIC! I initially was just going for one visit. But after meeting her, I will continue to see her. So easy to talk to and understand the plan she laid out for me. She's the BOMB

Fantastic experience: Libbey is very passionate and knowledgeable about her job. It is a pleasure working with her.

Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with Libby this week and found her to be friendly, professional, and very easy to talk to. Based on the health information on my intake paperwork, she was prepared with a detailed plan for me along with helpful resources. She answered my many questions, and is open to adjusting my plan so it works for me. Additionally, the office is very nice and her receptionist very friendly! I am thrilled to have Libby in my corner to help me achieve my goals.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend seeing Libby Hugo for your nutrition needs! We brought my infant in for a nutrition evaluation that could not have gone better. She has the knowledge and does the full research to find the best plan of action to specifically fit your nutritional needs. Hoping to set up the rest of my family with appointments to see her.

Fantastic experience: Libby is phenomenal with working with me and listening. I've never felt more excited to get to my healthier self. I have so much hope and I'm starting to see results! Down 11 lbs in 50 days and I'm not starving. Just had to learn how to portion out my food. Thank you Libby!!

Fantastic experience: It is very nice to be working with you, even if you change locations so I would not be able to find you. It is taking my past bad attitude and giving me a more positive approach to keeping the A1C in check. Thank you for the help and the tools to start a life change for the better. Mike

She helped me get my A1C down over 3 points with out giving up all the food i love.. i learned a lot about what foods can do to diabetics and chronic pancreatitus. What to stay away from and my free foods.. she has honestly made my life so much better..

Fantastic experience: She listened to my needs. Had a plan the first appt and had so much information ready. Felt good when I left

Fantastic experience: Libby is VERY knowledgeable and takes the time to know your personal needs. She is realistic in putting knowledge with a plan that will ensure successful outcomes. Very happy with my visit and having her in my corner.

Fantastic experience: I've only seen one other Nutritionist and the experience there made me not want to see a nutritionist. Well my mom and my aunt started going to Libby and told me how amazing she was so I told them I would try and see. So I went to see Libby and she is in fact amazing. She listens to what you half to say and makes it work. She's like you love chips this is how we can make that work rather than don't eat this or this or only chicken and veggies. I've been with her for a bout a month and I've already lost 5 pounds. Will recommend Libby to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Educational, balanced healthcare advice. Really enjoyed the presentation. Excellent office.

Fantastic experience: I had my first visit yesterday with Libby. Our visit was efficient and informative and she was well prepared before our visit so we could make the most of our time. I’m looking forward to having her on my team as I move toward long term goals for health.

Fantastic experience: I left Libbys office feeling light hearted and my confidence boosted!

Fantastic experience: Libby is AWESOME!!! We got along SO well!!! I can’t wait for my next appointment!!! Libby…YOU ROCK!!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic first meeting. I really enjoyed the time with her, she listened, offered suggestions, wasn’t pushy or trying to tell me what to do, and she was genuinely interested in what I wanted. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Fantastic experience: Libby was VERY knowledgeable & helped immensely!

Fantastic experience: Libby was very compassionate and she makes you feel like she is really listening to my concerns. She helped me create meal plans for my busy schedule and having suggestions where I don't have to cook separate meals for my picky husband and daughter.

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but a wonderful time every time I have an appointment with Libby!! She is very caring and compassionate , she truly wants you to succeed and feel better!! I appreciate her encouragement and knowledge ♥️

Fantastic experience: Excellent communication! Amazing advice she really gets into the roots of it all with you and is extremely knowledgeable and helpful

Fantastic experience: Meeting with Libby is always a great experience. She answers every question in a very dif=gestible way and is a delight to speak with in general. Libby always shares lots of great and helpful ideas when we visit her.

Fantastic experience: Libby is always so patient with the myriad questions I have for her. She is extremely knowledgeable and provides excellent guidance/information that is meaningful and useful. She is friendly and gracious, and she really knows her stuff!!!

Fantastic experience: Libby was a pleasure to meet with. My daughter was struggling to find a balanced diet to fit her fitness and health needs. Libby took time to explain the importance of a proper calorie intake and it’s impact on long term health. She was kind and very attentive. She has a wealth of knowledge. We are looking forward to working with Libby to attain all the goals set out. Not only was she professional, she had a great attitude and energy.

Fantastic experience: If I could give more than 5 ⭐️ I would! Libby is extremely personable and genuinely cares about her patients. She took extra time with me as I had several health challenges related to diet. She helped to customize a meal plan specific to my needs and made small changes. She is realistic and down to earth. She based her recommendations off grocery items already in my pantry, and made small substitution recommendations to my grocery list. I feel confident and more knowledgeable about my dietary choices moving forward. I have had significant improvement to my A1c and my waistband! Thank you so much Libby for all of your hard work!

Negative experience: If I could give ZERO stars I would!! This place is a joke! When o first called for an appt I had to leave a message because they never answer the phone. When the girl called me back I was at work so I couldn’t answer right away, she called again and I was able to answer so I did. She announces who she was and then said “if you want me to stop calling I will” I said seriously I was at work and couldn’t answer!! Anyways I filled out all my paperwork online as they were super adamant that it all be filled out immediately. I scheduled an appt. on the day of my appt I was in a bad car accident, I went to the hospital, and then got covid. No I didn’t call them that morning to cancel the appt as I was in a car accident and that appt was not the ONLY thing on my mind at that time. My safety and my daughters safety was. Weeks later I received a text message saying I had a bill due. Weird I was never seen. So I called and left a message. Few days later received a second text saying I still had a bill due.. again weird as I never was seen and had left a message. I called and left another message. Never received a call back. Left another message a week or so later. Still to this day 01/21/2022 I have not received a call back. BUT I did get a bill in the mail for a NO SHOW FEE!!! I again called and left a rather lengthy upset message as I have contacted these people 4 times now and they do not return phone calls. I am not going to pay a bill for services that were not rendered and I was never even seen in the office. The fact that they have ZERO COMPASSION for their patients or soon to be patients tells a lot about the business they run! I will be reporting them to the medical board and I will be filing a grievance against them. DO NOT USE THIS OFFICE!! THEY ARE RUDE NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE AND BILL YOU FOR NOT SHOWING UP WITH NO COMPASSION AS TO WHY I DIDN’T SHOW UP!! IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD!! DISGUSTING CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DISGUSTING WAY TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS!!!

Fantastic experience: Meets you where you are at and very knowledgeable. Works to help you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: Great expertise and communication skills. Very persuasive without being pedantic. Libby's finest quality is how personable she is! I would highly recommend her practice.

Fantastic experience: I appreciate that Libby tailors her dietary recommendations for the individual and doesn't take a cookie-cutter approach. In my case, she suggested small changes that addressed carbs and blood sugar. I've already seen an improvement in my A1c level. She doesn't lecture. It's obvious she enjoys clients/patients. I have enjoyed my 3 visits. And consider Libby an important part of my overall health team.

Fantastic experience: Libby is by far the best dietician I've have ever worked with! She cares about her patients a lot and looks at them holistically. She is a great listener and makes sure that all the questions or concerns are always addressed. She provides plenty of great advice and I found her methods very effective - motivating and fitting my schedule. She helped me to change my lifestyle and it is fun and encouraging. I can't thank her enough! :-)

Fantastic experience: Libby definitely listens to you and helps you understand where your lifestyle (eating habits) needs some adjusting!
