Nutrition In Recovery

Dr. David Wiss, PhD, MS, RDN, is a true standout in the mental health and nutrition field, a rare find after years of searching for the right provider. I first worked with him in 2015 when I was teetering on the edge of relapse and entering IOP. His genuine, down-to-earth approach instantly put me at ease, creating a safe space to explore the mind-gut-body connection and address the chronic lack of bowel movements I have struggled with for what feels like a lifetime. Dr. Wiss’s passion for his work is evident in his groundbreaking research and unwavering dedication to his clients’ well-being. His ability to connect authentically while offering expert guidance had a profound impact on my life. He’s truly extraordinary, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking life-changing, authentic support in recovery.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I have to take a moment to give credit where it’s due. Ever since meeting David Wiss, my understanding of mental health, nutrition, and how to truly care for my mind and body has been completely transformed. David’s empathy and intuition allow him to connect deeply with each person he meets, while his intelligence and expertise shape the unique plan that each individual needs. He has a rare gift for taking complex nutritional and mental health concepts and distilling them into clear, elegant, and practical guidance. I couldn’t imagine anyone else I’d rather have in my corner when it comes to improving my health, understanding nutrition, and becoming the best version of myself. And if you’re lucky enough to hear his personal story, you’ll walk away even more inspired — and even more certain you made the right choice in seeking him out.

Dr. David Wiss brings a very balanced, caring, multi-faceted and fact-based approach to helping me understand what is going on behind any residual desires, confusions, feeling of lack, body misperceptions etc. where body, health and nutrition is concerned. He's one of the smartest writers out there on these subjects. Dr. David has helped me find even more balance in the way I approach my nutrition as an aging woman along with helping me have a more compassionate approach to an aging body. He is able to point to truths that I couldn't see or seem to miss and does so in a jovial and caring way. He fully understands how addiction may have affected our outlook and is able to gently bring one back into the right lane for maximum movement forward. I recommend Dr. David for anyone who wants to go further with their nutritional health and mental wellbeing.

I can’t say enough positive things about David Wiss. I’ve been working with him for just a few months, via Zoom, and my understanding about nutrition has totally changed. We work via Zoom, because I am in Paris and he is in Los Angeles. But the nine hour difference, doesn’t get in the way!

I am so very grateful for all the wisdom and knowledge that David shares. He is so inspiring and truly cares !

I had known about David’s private practice and expertise for many years and followed him on social media. However, my shame and pride wouldn’t allow me to reach out for help when I desperately needed it because of the image I was trying to hold. I had been in the fitness industry and dieting for over ten years and told myself I was completely healthy ( it looked that way on the outside). Fast forward to my breaking point when I lost my menstrual cycle, I was able to hear David’s message and truths. Working with him has completely changed the way I think and live my life. I was also able to get pregnant and had the best relationship with food along the way. I always make sure to refer friends that I know are suffering to him! He’s the best in the game!

If you're looking for a nutritionist, look no further. David Wiss is above and beyond and way ahead of the game. His knowledge, insight, and clarity keep me coming back. I told my friends he's a rocket scientist of his industry. He looks at all the data through today's modern technology and science, including DNA, and then gives you the map and the game plan to execute through proper nutrition and supplements. I'm feeling better than I have in some years thanks to David Wiss.

Nutrition in Recovery and David Wiss helped me achieve something which I thought was impossible for me. I have suffered from serious GERD/acid reflux disease for the better part of 10 years and got on omeprazole multiple times daily to manage my symptoms. Multiple doctors have told me over the years that it was not a good medication to be on long term, but other medications didn’t manage my symptoms and no method of getting off of it ever worked due to intense flare ups and unmanageable discomfort. With David’s help, I was able to taper off the omeprazole while implementing some supplements and many major dietary and lifestyle changes. Today I am off all medication and supplements with nearly no symptoms, unless I disregard what I have learned about my body’s response to different foods. This was all accomplished within about 3 months and I’m more comfortable than I was when I was taking the medication, and I feel healthier and have lost weight following David’s guidance. I never truly believed in the healing power of healthy eating until now, and I’m a full on believer! You can trust David to help you achieve things in your health that you didn’t believe was possible. Extremely grateful to David and his practice!

I've been having digestion issues for over a decade and decided to seek some answers. I am so happy with my decision to go with David Wiss. He asked thoughtful questions that would have never occurred to me. He takes the time to listen, not rush through like my experience with many other health practitioners. He maintains a safe space where you truly feel how much he cares about helping his patients. That alone makes me highly recommend David to anyone seeking to take control of their health.

I have worked with many nutritionists over the years, and will say that the work I was able to do with David was life changing and extraordinary. Going beyond meal planning and a trajectory of weight-loss, David helped me challenge many of my old belief systems by educating me with the latest research and straight up scientific facts. David’s approach is warm and empathic yet remains direct and focused. I highly recommend David if you are ready to shift your ideas around food, nutrition and body image- and begin to live at peace with yourself.
