"Go Red for Women celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke. A major component of striving for a heart-healthy life is diet and nutrition.
Yolanda B. Ortega-Gammill's expertise was key to raising awareness among the 650 attending the 2007 luncheon. Yolanda created and hosted a fabulous breakout session titled, A Heart Healthy Couple: Red Wine and Chocolate.
Her session saw the highest attendance of all the breakouts and participants commented on how adept Yolanda was at presenting technical information in a personable, fun manner. We are honored to have Yolanda as part of the AHA family of professional educators helping carry our mission to the community."

"I've tried counting points at Weight Watchers, buying weekly meals at NutriSystems, meal planning and pre-package meals with Jenny Craig, and weekly weigh ins at LA Weight Loss, all to no avail. Don't get me wrong: I did lose weight with every endeavor. But once I stepped out of that environment, the real world -- along with the weight -- came crashing back.
Yolanda talked with me and realized that I am a 'facts and numbers' person. The first thing she did was to tell me to quit living with numbers: the scale, the points, the calories, etc. She then went on to explain the scientific methodology of our bodies and how they work. It was logical – and in my mind, way too simple. I had to ensure that I ate protein with carbs and carbs with protein? More food? No more counting? No way! It was unthinkable to apply logic to and scientific fact to losing weight! Well, that's what Yolanda did!
Today, I live in the real world and have been losing weight and getting more stronger and more fit as each day goes by. In addition, every emotion, and every scared feeling of being a failure has been addressed and dealt successfully by Yolanda. Yolanda believes in me, makes me feel like an individual, a special person, and I know that I am a person who is cared about by someone who's goal is tied into my individual success, not the number of people passing through the office!
If you're lucky enough to have Yolanda on your team, then that is your first successful step towards a more healthy living style."

Thanks to you Yolanda, I feel like a new woman! In the past "dieting" meant I had to eat foods that I did not enjoy. Yolanda taught me how to make healthful choices that leave room for the foods that I love to eat.
In the past I was given a specific meal plan to follow for weight loss. Yolanda didn't do that. She spent time getting to know ME so that she could create a individualized plan that meets my specific needs. In the past, when I would "diet", I felt deprived and hungry all the time. After meeting with Yolanda and implementing her suggestions, I immediately had more energy, which makes it easy to make better choices.
Thank You, Yo!
