Kind Words
“I have followed a 3-months program of Dr Irina Schurov. I wanted to know if nutrition could help my son who has ADHD and to whom I didn't want to give medication (Ritalin).
The implementation of Irina's advice regarding food and supplements together with mindfulness for kids and lots of sport quickly produced AMAZING results in my son's control of emotions, general wellbeing, and his performance in school. He no longer needs psychotherapy sessions nor assistance in school which is AWESOME!
The outcome from what we have learned with Irina, motivated all family to eat healthier. Tiny and simple changes had a huge positive impact on us.
Irina will help you to find out what works best for you and your family through questionnaires, different clinical tests, friendly regular meetings, and video phone calls. Irina is not only our nutritional counsellor but she’s also our friend who cheers all our personal achievements. Thanks, Irina!”
