Simply Nutrition

Negative experience: Filled out contact form on website, sent and email and called and left a message. No reply. I cannot support this poor business model. Don’t waste your time!

Fantastic experience: Courtney is the best of the best! I was a patient of hers right after I was discharged from inpatient eating disorder treatment. I still had A LOT of work to do (and I'm sure I was not always an easy client), but Courtney was always so kind and patient. She challenged me to start incorporating my "fear foods" while also always respecting my boundaries. She could tell when I wasn't feeling comfortable with something and instead of pushing me she would suggest something else and we would try again to challenge myself the following appointment. When I got to college and started struggling with food again, Courtney was the first person I called. She was willing to work me in her schedule to make sure that I was being taken care of. She had a huge positive impact on my eating disorder recovery and she is the reason I now have a healthy and balanced relationship with food.

Fantastic experience: I recently finished working with Emily, she is fantastic! She introduced me to intuitive eating, and helped improve my body image. It feels great to break up with myfitnesspal/macro trackers and just listen to my body! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The crew at Simply Nutrition are truly the best at what they do. Emily is supportive, knowledgeable, and motivating. She has been a real cheerleader in my health journey and such a refreshing perspective regarding body positivity and health at every size. I highly recommend this business.

Fantastic experience: Emily Gargis and Simply Nutrition has been a Godsend for my daughter. She was recently diagnosed with PCOS and we had no clue what to do. Emily has guided her through the food minefield and understanding this illness. She also recommended some test that for the Dr to run to help with giving us a better picture of her needs. My daughter is now on the proper meds and eating healthy. Thank you Emily

Negative experience: Very disappointed. I tried to book with Courtney for my daughter's Initial visit because most of the good reviews are about her. I went online, found an open time slot for Courtney and literally, as I was making the appointment Emily called my phone trying to book my daughter with her. I immediately explained that I was requesting Courtney, but Emily insisted that Courtney had no open appointments (although I was actively booking my time slot with Courtney online). Emily stated that the website was messed up and that the booking site was not correct. She insisted that Courtney would not see my daughter, but she would be able to. Well, I ended up booking with Emily. Was not very impressed with the initial acessment, and felt like a 50 minute, 2 week follow up was kind of quick. Emily made some recommendations. Fast forward to follow-up visit. Tried to re-schedule, but was told that since it was not cancelled 48 hours in advance, I would be charged the entire session fee! That is absolutely HORRIBLE!! A little strict for an unplanned emergency. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I will be trying a different place for my daughter. Someone who will at least pretend to care.

Fantastic experience: Working with Caroline the past few months has been life changing. I didn’t realize how entrenched in diet culture I was. The work helped with more than my physical health and diet, it helped mentally. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been patient of Simply Nutrition for about 5 years and I am so thankful to have them apart of my team. I have mostly worked with Courtney, but I have also gotten the pleasure to work with Ali Gray, Grace, and Emily! Coming to college from New York to South Carolina, I was introduced to a lot of foods I wasn’t used to. I began to loose control of my eating disorder, I would always try the latest diet trends in hopes of loosing weight. When I met Courtney she taught me about a non- diet approach, She explained to me how and why the trend diets don’t work and how each person is an individual, so not everything works for every body. We worked on intuitive eating, meal planning, personal accountability. We also worked on ways to help me change my behaviors and feelings around food specifically that their is no good and bad foods. I also did Metabolic testing with Courtney which helped us a lot with a plan of action for me. Courtney and the whole Simply Nutrition team are very good at communicating with other doctors you may work with. Courtney had weekly meetings with my psychiatrist so they both new what was going on with my mental health and eating disorder. Courtney over these past 5 years have honestly changed my life, she is more than just a Nutritionist but someone I could trust and lean on during hard times. I have always felt completely supported by Courtney and knew she was looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Simply Nutrition to anyone who is struggling with an eating disorder, or to learn more about nutrition.

Positive experience: Courtney has changed my way of thinking about food to make it positive and see results. I thought i knew a lot about nutrition but i was not using what i knew correctly. I finally feel secure about making choices about food. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I first met Courtney Armstrong in 2012 when my 14 year-old daughter was first diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. At the time I was unEDucated about eating disorders. I didn’t know the importance of having a registered dietician (RD) on our medical team, and I certainly didn’t know the importance of having a RD who specializes in eating disorders on our team. But, I learned quickly. From day one, Courtney was empathetic, caring, and understanding. She has this calmness about her that eases the anxiety of the patient, and their loved ones! She is an excellent listener and is magical in the way she works with patients in the throes of an eating disorder. We saw Courtney for a few months before my daughter went out of state for treatment. For a year after returning from treatment, Courtney was still part of my daughter’s medical team. The medical team of professionals were all great, but for my daughter, the relationship she had with Courtney was what made her take her first step on the road to recovery. In 2015, when my daughter was just a few weeks into her freshman year of college, she called crying saying that she was struggling. My heart broke, and I told her to reach out to Courtney for help, which she did. The eating disorder voice had come back with a vengeance, but Courtney worked with her remotely, and got her back on track. Even though my daughter was over 100 miles away, Courtney was only a phone call away and, and once again helped her get through a time when the eating disorder had taken control. My daughter’s eating disorder hated Courtney. Why? Because Courtney was fighting what the eating disorder was trying to take away from my daughter – nourishment to fuel her body. My daughter, the one I have known since she was born, loves Courtney! Through Courtney’s compassion and expertise, she saved my daughter’s life. Since 2012 I have witnessed Courtney grow professionally as a registered dietitian. She is always staying abreast of new research by attending national and international conferences, and being a member of numerous professional associations. If you, or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, I am here to tell you it takes an Army for your loved one to recover from an eating disorder. I am here to tell you that Courtney Armstrong should be your five star General in your Army. I am here to tell you to make that call to Courtney today – as hard as it may be – you won’t be sorry!​

Fantastic experience: Simply Nutrition (and Courtney, specifically) provide professional, up-to-date, evidence-based nutrition services as well as genuine care for the client's overall wellness. I first saw Courtney in 2014 during a difficult period of my life, and she was an incredible help to me. When I felt I needed more guidance a few years later, I sought out Courtney to help me build on the skills I had previously learned. The love Courtney has for her work and her clients' recovery and well-being shows in everything she does. I recommend Simply Nutrition to anyone needing personal, knowledgeable and understanding care regarding food and food related issues!

Fantastic experience: Courtney is amazing and she has the best team. She is always so encouraging and has helped me so much in learning about my relationship with food. I find new strength in myself with every session and am reminded often that success has nothing to do with a number on a scale. When the hard days arise, which are inevitable, she is always there to get me back on track and is helping me to see perfection is never the goal. (I struggle with that). Her knowledge and wisdom astound me at every turn. Courtney had truly changed my life, taught me that food is not the enemy and that I am stronger then I ever thought possible. I am forever thankful!

Fantastic experience: I'm so extremely thankful for finding this place. I have seen 6 other dieticians in the U.S. and Australia in the past 2 years and Grace Sturgis is by far one of the best. Her mix of relentless compassion, unparalleled intelligence, and empathetic nature allows for me to be comforted and challenged at the same time. I have already recommended Grace to two of my friends and would do the same for anyone else.

Fantastic experience: Caroline has truly changed my life. After years of yo-yo dieting, I developed a lot of anxiety around certain food groups. This led me to restrict myself and when I would indulge, I would eat too much and feel a lot of shame and guilt. In 6 short months, Caroline helped me get to a place of food freedom. She helped me to make peace with all foods and taught me how to get in tune with and listen to my body. Caroline was patient and attentive throughout the process—I cannot recommend her enough! I am now able to enjoy my life in which all foods fit.
