My clients come to me after they've haven't been helped elsewhere. I focus on YOU as a whole entity and focus on food as medicine, with digestion right behind it-always looking for the root cause of inflammation and disease.

In Health,

A Living Balance: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I have known Cindy for the past 12 years and I suggest anyone reading this post and searching for a person to trust as a nutritionist and health coach to consider Cindy. Cindy cares about her clients and with all her years of experience will definitely help guide you to becoming the healthy person that we all aspire to be. The doctors that we have always trusted and believed in do not have all the answers but if you want to get the answers to your questions from someone who has the answers that will lead you to a healthy life give Cindy a call. She will be there for you. Trust her she does care !
Thank you so much for your trust Shayna! I’ve known you for a long time and I’m honored to be part of your team!
Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful experience with Cindy at A Living Balance. It felt serendipitous since she’s also my yoga instructor, and I had just done a set of labs in Mexico along with a Viome retest. I was feeling overwhelmed trying to sort through everything on my own, but Cindy took the time in our 90-minute consultation to review all my labs, my scores, and the issues I was having. She gave me a clear protocol that has already helped so much—after just a week and a half my digestion feels so much better with far less gas and bloating. I also love her easy-to-use online portal. I’m so happy I reached out and highly recommend working with Cindy.
Thank you for this review Robin! Very fun how it all came together and I'm so glad that you're already feeling better! Digestion is one of my areas of expertise and I personally know how uncomfortable it can get. I'm looking forward to being part of your team going forward!
Fantastic experience: I came to Cindy after years of working with a variety of doctors and healers. At the most, they all seemed focused on helping me to manage various debilitating symptoms. However, it was never my goal to manage symptoms, but to find the root cause and cure for the illnesses. I was very sad and frustrated, as I felt almost no one was truly listening to me, and almost no one had any answers. Meanwhile, I was losing years of my life to terrible days. I purchased the ALB Fresh Start package, and I wish I had found Cindy sooner! Cindy was very thorough and took her time with me during our first meeting. She even explained some of my doctor's notes and tests better than they had ever explained them to me. From the very first day, she was adamant with helping me and remained consistently focused on finding potential options, solutions, and answers for me! Cindy far exceeded my expectations and she truly changed my life! At the time that my package concluded, I had made some good progress, but was still struggling with some symptoms (it is understandable that the body would need more time to heal). Cindy left me with helpful advice for potential next steps to explore. She also led me to some solutions that ended the daily headaches and migraines I had been experiencing! I am so grateful to have experienced this miracle come true for me, and it's highly possible that I will purchase more sessions from her in the future! I had a far superior experience working with Cindy than I had with most doctors and practitioners over the years. Working with her is well worth the investment -- in fact, the value is priceless!
Thank you Michele. It was a great pleasure to work with you! You were willing to do the work and were committed to trying new things. You taught me new things, helping me be a better practitioner :-). That happens sometimes! I thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I hope it helps others!
Fantastic experience: Cindy's understanding of the human body, bloodwork and optimizing health is amazing. She is an incredible advocate and has taught me how to navigate the medical system. She is an incredibly empathetic listener and knows her job. As a personal trainer, she has been an invaluable asset to me, my business and to my clients. Thank you for helping me take charge of my health and get my life back.
Cyndi, Thank you for your review and thank you for your trust in me. I'm looking forward to having many more years of being a part of your team, helping you and your clients.
Fantastic experience: Cindy really knows her stuff. She told me what blood tests I needed and discovered (among others things) that I had very high inflammation. This really concerned me. She prescribed certain supplements and I am now at the perfect level for inflammation. All under a year. She’s very informed. I highly recommend her.
Thank you so much for sharing this Kristy. It’s been wonderful working with you and watching your numbers improve!
Fantastic experience: Working with Cindy, I have made more strides with my health than any of my regular doctors. Her appointments are so comprehensive, and she leaves no stone unturned. The blood work she ordered was different than the norms, telling a good story of what is going on with my systems. She has set me up with some easy-to-take supplements, and utilizing her online pharmacy (at a discount) has been beneficial. My pain levels continue to decrease, I'm definitely sleeping more soundly, and I even lost weight which I thought was going to be impossible. Cindy sets you up for success with a realistic plan to include eating habits, exercise, supplements and more. And, I appreciate her loving but firm manner of giving you the honest truth about what needs to be done to take control of your health. It is the best money I have spent - not one regret whatsoever!
Thank you for taking the time for this wonderful review Cindy. I had to smile at, "I appreciate her loving but firm manner of giving you the honest truth..." I'm glad you could receive it! You've done your work as well! You're a pleasure to work with.
Fantastic experience: Cindy is very knowledgeable, fun to work with, and approachable. She makes you realize that food can be delicious as well as nourishing for your body and optimal health. I would recommend Cindy's services to anyone interested in making better choices, whether for medical reasons or weight loss.
Jane, it's been fun and even a learning experience for me, working with you over the years. Thank YOU!
Fantastic experience: Cindy is a person who takes her time and will make sure to do an in depth analysis of your health concerns and dig deep and keep digging to find results and and come up with a plan best suited to fix and mend the issues your having! She is such a pro in her line of work. I’ve never worked with anyone like her!
Thank you Kasey! I love digging and helping people :-)
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend working with Cindy if you want to improve your health in any way. She is extremely knowledgable and experienced. She listens carefully to your concerns and develops a specific, realistic protocol to address them. I have started to see improvements immediately and have even lost a few pounds in the process!
Thank you so very much for your review Mary! And I'm always so very happy when the protocol we work on equals results. Sometimes it's a big puzzle and takes awhile to put the pieces together. Thank you for trusting me to walk you through the process.
Fantastic experience: Cindy is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, caring and got to the bottom of some of my underlying health issues which have supported my wellness journey immensely. Highly recommend her as she explores and heals where many doctors don't because it is outside their wheelhouses.
Thank you Kathi! It was a pleasure working with you and I'm so glad I could help!
Fantastic experience: A Living Balance is consistently a health support source for me and my family. Cindy's classes have elevated our food choices for decades! Early on we attended a class as a family and learned so many ways to cook and eat better that help us continually take giant steps into feeling happier, healthier and stronger. Thank you Cindy for the helpful blog too! It always inspires us. You offer so much information that it makes learning with you easy and invaluable for us. Blessings to you!
Thank you T! I've felt honored to be a part of your family's health journey for such a long time.
Fantastic experience: Cindy has been a God send! She is so patient and compassionate and follows through on every detail. I came to her with stomach issues I’ve had for most of my life and within just a few short weeks her plan for me has changed my life completely. I no longer have the same stomach issues. I have more energy than ever before and I look forward to waking up each day now. I highly recommend Cindy!
Thank you so much for your review Cally. It's been a pleasure working with you and very fun to watch you feel so much better!
Fantastic experience: Cindy is a great listener and has a wealth of knowledge she is ready to share with you. I have learned so much from her over the years. My body and mind thank her.
Thank you so much for being so open to learning, Sally. And thank for sharing this review.
Fantastic experience: Cindy has been helping me with various issues on and off for 7 years. When my western medicine doctors tell me I’m fine but I know I’m not, I know who can figure it out…Cindy. She is the best healthy investigator I know. She finds the root cause and gives me options on how to treat it. She is compassionate and truly cares.
Thank you so much Laura! It's a joy and honor to be of service and have your trust.
Fantastic experience: I have relied on the health and nutrition advice of Cindy D and A Living Balance for more than 10 years and owe my good health and wellness to her guidance.
Thank you Randy. It’s been my pleasure to be part of your wellness journey.
Fantastic experience: Cindy has been partnering with me in my health journey for several years now. Through testing, she has helped me to improve my nutritional status overall, including the balance of my microbiome. She shares resources and important health info as well as recipes, etc. She is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her to those who want to be an active partner in the most important journey of all, the path to better health.
Thank you so much for sharing this Linda. It's been an honor and privilege and pleasure to be part of your health journey. And I hope to be part of it for many more years!
Fantastic experience: Cindy has helped me reduce pain, gas and bloating and gerd. She always cares and is very prompt in answering my questions.
Thank you Marci for your review. I'm so happy I could help and it's a such pleasure to work with you!
Fantastic experience: Cindy is AMAZING! She certainly demonstrates her abilities as the health "detective" for optimum vitality and good health. Her knowledge of reading blood work results BEYOND current "guidelines" is a tool beyond measure to help ensure the body is living in peak health. I think EVERYONE should use a Functional Medicine provider in conjunction with their allopathic practitioners. I HIGHLY recommend Cindy Dupuie-A LIVING BALANCE to be your Functional Medicine provider.
Thank you so much Patrice. Reading and interpreting blood work is one of my favorite tools.
And thank you for having me on your health team! It's an honor.
Fantastic experience: Functional medicine is the way to go :) Before I went to Cindy, I was going to a bunch of different doctors who couldn't tell me what was going on with my skin. They would give me creams that would make my eczema worse and do a bunch of useless tests. So, when I called Cindy in our free consultation, I was so relieved because she listened to my concerns and actually provided an actionable plan to heal my skin. She walked me through every step of the way which was not only comforting but important. Cindy made sure to listen to what was going on with my body and mind. She thoroughly explains what your lab test results mean and will give you the necessary supplements you should take. That is part of her finding the root cause to whatever you are going through rather than putting a bandaid on something and hoping it will go away. Working with Cindy has been incredible and I highly recommend going to her!
Thank you for trusting me Francesca! It's been a pleasure being on this journey with you.
Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with Diverticulosis in 2010 and went symptom free for 10 years until my life changed in October of 2020. Not only did the symptoms return, but I had a new uninvited guest at the party...my bladder. After 3 hospital stays and severe cases of Sepsis, I was the poster child for "Leaky Gut". Cindy sat me down in her beautiful no nonsense manner and designed a Peptide and Probiotic protocol that was an absolute game changer. I finally am healing the problem instead of treating it. Her knowledge of using the right combination of available organic top shelf supplements will give you pause in a wonderful way. She knows her business like no other and I've never been one to throw around compliments lightly. This is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review for anything or anyone. I've known Cindy since 2007 when she used to be my instructor at Bikram Yoga in Laguna Beach. Trust me when I say that she brings the same commitment and attention to detail to her Health Practice as she did in the yoga studio. I highly recommend A Living Balance for any of her amazing gut health services. Cindy delivered exactly what she said she would and my results far exceeded my expectations. David Romano La Quinta, CA
Thank you for your wonderful review, David. It's always a pleasure and fun to work with you and I'm soooo glad I could make a difference in you're healing!
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Cindy for several years now, initially for GI issues (gone completely) and now about once a year, or whenever I have a new concern or need recommendations for diet, supplements, etc. I always enjoy our appointments (in person and online) and have recommended her to friends. Her online talks and recipes are excellent too. Thank you, Cindy!
And thank you for your kind review, Sarah! :-)
Fantastic experience: When I needed help with some IBS symptoms I was experiencing, I sought out Cindy at A Living Balance for her focus on functional medicine in diagnosing and treating issues. She was very responsive and took the time to build a profile of my issue. Tests arrived in the mail quickly that I could do in my home, and with Cindy's knowledge, the lab results pointed towards a treatment path that I'm glad to say has helped me tremendously with my IBS issues. I can be social again without worry! I can't recommend A Living Balance enough. Cindy has a broad background and experience working with a range of chronic issues.
Thank you Ivan! I'm so glad I was able to help!
