A few years ago I was in need of a chiropractor and met Dr. Pia Martin, who had been recommended my by a friend. Dr. Martin resolved my back and joint problems. Following this, I learned that she was also a nutritionist.
When I first came to see Dr. Martin, I was suffering from neck and shoulder pain and was also experiencing numbness around my left eye. From the very first appointment, Dr. Martin asked a number of questions took very detailed notes and adjusted me.
I have been seeing Dr. Martin now for over 6 months and I feel like a completely different person. Not only is my neck and shoulder pain better and the numbing completely gone, she has also helped me gain control of my health and treat severe allergies without the need of medication.
Through our conversations, Dr. Martin has guided me to become more aware of how stress and emotional buildup is affecting my health. Her patience and generosity have significantly impacted my life in more ways than I even thought possible. I recommend her to anyone who is trying to feel better physically and mentally and has failed before. Dr. Martin is an exceptional human being.
" When I started with Dr Martin my chief complaint was Hip, Leg and Lower Back. She performed miracles in a couple of months. I am able to exercise without restrictions. She approached my problem with expertise. I also had problems with arthritis in my thumbs and she was able to help alleviate a lot of discomfort. I recommend her without reservation" M C, DDS
My health has been vastly improved when following Dr. Martin’s recommendations for diet and the Purification Process. I lapse now and then to my old ways of eating, but with Dr. Pia’s help I do get back on track.
The first several days of the purification process were difficult for me, but after sticking with the process for the recommended 21 days, my health vastly improved. Adhering to the mantra of “vegetables, fruit and lean protein” I experienced the following changes:
- increased energy
- no longer needed an afternoon nap
- skin and hair improved
- lost weight
- allergies were markedly lessened
- “hot flashes” all but disappeared.
Compared with other diets and weight loss plans, the eating plan of vegetables, fruit and lean protein is easy to follow and compatible with feeding a family.
Thank you Dr. Pia for your ongoing help and friendship.
Best wishes, Carol

Dr. Pia's 21 day cleanse changed my life! I know this sounds intense, so I will prove it to you. I am 28 years old and have been severely over weight since I was a child. When I first saw Dr. Pia I was suffering from high blood pressure, obesity, anxiety, and some serious gastrointestinal issues that I had been fighting for over 10 years. My primary care doctor was concerned about some of my recent blood test results and had even suggested exploratory surgery to learn what was causing my stomach issues. I was extremely hesitant to do the cleanse because I knew I was addicted to caffeine, sugar, wheat, and processed foods and I couldn't imagine how I could live without them.
During the cleanse I lost 16 pounds, my BMI dropped 5 full points and my blood pressure dropped considerably. Most importantly though, I learned that I have a gluten intolerance and that this is the true culprit of my stomach issues. The cleanse showed me how to live without caffeine, sugar, and processed foods-something I never thought was possible. It has been 5 months since I completed the cleanse and I have already lost another 20 pounds. I have more energy, more focus, and I finally feel like my anxiety is under control.
Learning to enjoy exercise is my next adventure, but I know I can do it with Dr. Pia by my side. Thanks for all your help!

"I was feeling completely out of whack after my Mexico trip, mentally and physically. I hadn't seen Pia in a couple of months. So, one day last week, I woke up with a serious kink in my neck one morning. I posted a message on her face book page that said something like, 'My neck is killing me.' She said, "Can you come in at 11?' Well, I was happy to go in, and she said that my back was more crooked than it had ever been before. The vertebra that sends the nerve to my stomach was badly out of line. It was really interesting to me that when she put those particular vertebrae in place, about one second later, my stomach made a load growl. She retorted, 'Funny how that works.' As she worked up my spine, Pia discovered that my neck was out in about 3 places too. I had lingering soreness for about a day, and then my body returned to its natural balance. I feel so much better. She also said to me that I need to think of exercise (yoga) as something that I NEED to do in order to keep up with my work demands (sitting if front of a
I want to thank Dr. Pia for transforming my health and well being. I am 38, married, sedentary and 214lbs woman with a 170lb husband. I was stressed out, stress eating and nowhere near the sexy woman my husband fell in love with 6 years ago. When I called Dr. Pia at a very hopeless time in my life to do her purification program I knew if anyone could help me she could. What I did not know is that I would feel hopeful, lighter, more confident and healthy in 21 days. After 21 days of the amazing food from the earth, willpower, and Dr. Pia’s encouragement I am 20lbs lighter, 20 points lower on my blood pressure and no longer in the obese BMI category. Hope has been restored. I feel like a new woman on a healthy road towards 40, going down a lighted path towards a lifetime of wellness. Just to be in Dr. Pia’s presence is inspiring to me and kept me going. I am now hula hooping at home daily, less stressed, caffeine free, mostly alcohol free, and celebrating my 1 year anniversary of cigarette free and sooo thankful. My husband ate fast food for 21 days while I was on the cleanse and has thus given up fast food. Hooray for Farmers Markets! Thank you Dr. Pia for leading the way by example. SM

Dear Dr. Martin,
I would like to thank you for your compassion and passion you have for your profession and gave to me. Unlike any other doctors that I have approached (over the past 10 years) with my weight and muscle complications, you gave me clarity and understanding of these issues, as well as, what nutritional needs are favorable for my body. Since being under your care, I am losing weight, have less stress, sleep like a baby, no more hot flashes, no more sore muscles after workouts, and my digestive system has immensely improved. You are the BEST!!

Dear Dr Pia, Before I went to Dr Pia I was like many others- over the years the weight kept creeping up on me and before I knew it I was 45 and 226 Lbs. No surprise it all went to my waist. I am a tri-athlete and train a lot so I naively thought that if I trained hard I could eat what I liked. Working with Dr Pia was a revelation! She started by understanding my body, my lifestyle, my eating habits and me. After that she sort to educate me in way I could improve and integrate healthier habits into my lifestyle. After putting her plan into action I saw immediate results - The weight dropped and I was stronger and getting more from my workouts. After 3 months I lost almost 30lbs and went down 3 clothing sizes. I just completed the Iron man Masters in Florida and I had my best time ever. I shaved 30 minutes of my last best time! After 17 years as a tria-thlete and now 45 I felt like the clock had turned back in time. I was performing better than ever. Dr Pia said " Imagine if your body was operating at 9 or 10 instead of a 5/6. I can't speak highly enough of Dr Pia Martin. Her knowledge, compassion and communication is by far the main reason I was able to achieve this level of success. ANDREW, CEO/ Sports company
"Dr Pia Martin is one of the most caring professionals I have ever met. She truly listens to what you say and "hears" what is being left unsaid. I have complete confidence in the treatment she recommended for my Neck pain. BJ
I never thought that I had needed chiropractic care until I met Dr. Pia Martin. I met Dr. Pia through networking and realized quickly how knowledgeable she was in the area of health and well-being. When I first went to see her, I went to check out the Nutritional Response Testing that Dr. Pia offers and found the experience very informative. She was able to tell me what foods and supplements were working for me and which ones weren't. She had me keep a food diary and really talked with me about what my goals were and where I wanted to see my health 20 years from now.
Along with the Nutritional Response Testing that I had done I had also started to receive weekly chiropractic treatments. I have had many feet problems over the years and never really knew how much my feet had affected my back and how connected my problems were. Much to my surprise I have had minimal feet and hip problems since I started to see Dr. Pia and I am now down to seeing her once every 3 weeks and feeling great!
Dr. Pia truly has a passion for people to be healthy and at their best. She has a very kind way of guiding you to your health goals with the most natural and organic solutions.
I highly recommend Dr. Pia Martin for all of your health care needs. Thank you Dr. Pia for all that you do to make people's lives healthy. ANGEL. PRESIDENT ENCINITAS CC
"I received chiropractic care from Dr Martin during a very vulnerable time in my life. I suffered from two transient ischemic attacks (mini stokes), glaucoma, and removal of a mass from my left auxiliary region, hysterectomy, hormone deficiency, and asthma. As a result of the treatment administered by Dr Martin, my health improved; my physical difficulties were decreased; my mental and emotional states were improved. Dr martin is concise clear, professional and enthusiastic about her commitment to chiropractic care" N P
"I have been healthy and pain free most of my 60 years, but lately lower back stiffness and pain was interfering with some of my activities like golf. Dr Martin has done a marvelous job of evaluating the cause of my problems. Her approach and her abilities as a chiropractor are both comfortable and effective. Her treatments and recommended stretches have allowed me to be pain free." G B
My name Pauline and I lost both of parents within 6 months of each other. I was 53 and struggling with grief and menopausal symptoms. My MD put me on HRT patches and progesterone tablets to help with the Hot Flashes and aching legs. Grief I found out cannot only manifest itself emotionally but physically and my health took a massive down turn. I put on weight, I had stomach problems, my blood pressure skyrocketed and I was depressed. I then made the call to Dr Pia. She has helped me re-gain control of my health. I feel great, I have lost weight, and I am off blood pressure and cholesterol medication. Now I am working on getting off HRT. I know it won't be easy, but I have this wonderful doc who is working with my best interests in mind. I am doing great and for the first time in three years I feel like I am in the drivers seat of my life with a wonderful navigator showing me the way and praising each hill I get over... Thank you Dr Pia.... PAULINE
Dear Dr. Martin,
"I am so grateful that you are my Chiropractor/Healer. As you know, I recently suffered a fall down some stairs and injured the ligaments and tendons of my right ankle. I came to your office the day after the accident, and your adjustment and electrical stimulus treatment helped me on the road to recovery. However, after two weeks of limping along, I returned to your office, and you were able to take me from a pain level of 70% down to a greatly improved level of 10-20%! It was a miracle! I have never experienced such an immediate and amazing recovery. Thank you for all the wonderful treatment you have provided me."
Sincerely,
KATHI
Before I began the SP Cleanse program I was not feeling very well. In fact, I was feeling fatigued every afternoon. Most meals were leaving me feeling either nauseous or just "icky" no matter what I ate and I had hypo-glycemic systems if I went too long between meals. Just to make my story even better my cholesterol numbers were extremely high. I followed the cleanse plan to the letter and was amazed at how fast my digestive system felt so much better.The nausea went away immediately,the hypoglycemic symptoms left after day 5 when my blood sugar leveled out and I lost 5 lbs that first week. I found the cleanse easy to follow and the shakes actually tasted good!
Now here is the best part. In three weeks this 62 year old woman lost 8 lbs. and took my total cholesterol from 296 down to 161! My tryglycerides dropped from 279 to 158!!! My doctor was truly impressed and I am thrilled to get this amazing result in just 3 weeks. It's been a month since I completed the program and I am still having SP Shakes for breakfast and snacks to maintain my great results.
Thank you for being there everyday with your encouragement, support, and guidance. It helped tremendously to know I wasn't going it alone. DB
