Kay Loughrey is extraordinarily well trained in the science of nutrition and the psychological underpinnings of wellness. I sought her help in tweaking my diet as a way to stave off the impacts of a metabolic disorder that runs in my family. Little did I know that she would ultimately lead me to drastically change my sleep habits, my work-life balance, and my level of fitness as well. Kay's approach is holistic, sound, compassionate, and effective. She has been a godsend.

Simple put, she knows her stuff. She works with the individual, it is not an eat this or that, "it works for everyone", approach. Lost 40 pound the first three months. The right way.

Working with Sweet Life Wellness during my senior year of college was such a special and formative experience. Kay's expertise and willingness to teach me about nutrition counseling and private practice is something that I am extremely grateful for. During this internship, I gained hands on experience working with clients, working behind the scenes on web development as well as business development and so much more. Thank you Kay and the rest of the team at SLW!

Kay takes a total approach when working with me around diet and nutrition.
We've talked about and included habits formed during the workday, after workouts and evening--taking all of this into account to figure the best eating plan for me to be successful. Plus, Kay is very calming in an otherwise frantic world. Thank you, Kay!

Kay has been an excellent mentor as I have had the opportunity to work with her as a nutrition intern this past year for 11 months. I have worked on a number of projects with Kay, such as coordinating with members of the Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce to promote public health through a COVID-19 Video Series project, writing blog posts, posting recipes and food and nutrition information on social media, as well as researching speaker opportunities for Kay to share her empowering story and extensive knowledge of health and wellness.
Through my observations of client sessions, I have seen Kay’s caring, holistic, and knowledgeable approach to working with her clients to help them stay on track and reach their desired goals. Overall, I have had a wonderful experience working with Kay and learning from her breadth of knowledge.

I have been working with Kay Loughrey to improve in my recent lab values related to cholesterol. The primary goal was to eat healthier food to improve my metabolic profile ( cholesterol, LDL, Triglycerides)  and lose weight. Within 6 weeks time frame, we were able to accomplish more than I ever expected. My cholesterol came down from 210 to 134, LDL 94 to 70 and TG from 254 to 141! As a bonus I also list about 8 lbs. Kay guided me through sensible, sustainable healthy diet , good nutrient  balance, with appropriate daily calorie intake. She recommended good resources to read. We’ll continue our work together to achieve my Ideal body weight with 8 -10 more lbs weight loss and maintain an excellent lipid profile.
Her knowledge on nutrition,  understanding my nutritional needs and her collaborative working style make my journey successful. I highly recommend Kay if you are interested in good healthy nutrition, sustainable eating habits and healthy heart and body.

I have been working with Kay for 4 months.  I had bloodwork done and my doctor was impressed that my numbers had improved so much.  All within normal ranges now.  We decreased my diabetes medicine and she is no longer worried about my liver enzymes.  I have been overweight and dieting all of my adult life.  The weight loss has been slow as I am learning new skills but the health improvement is more than worth every penny spent.  This is not a diet or get thin quick plan; it is a coaching program designed to your individual goals and desired outcomes.  Pick up the phone and schedule an initial consultation.  Trust me, it is worth it!!
