Our Clients Speak

"Hi Dr. Gaeta, Thanks so much for working so hard this past weekend. I appreciate your teaching and professionalism. The attendees really liked your one-on-one attention, answering questions and designing personal protocols for them on the breaks. This is significant for a small market town like Olympia, where we have never done a seminar. I like that your teaching is clinical and tied to very specific action steps."

Dr Gaeta never failed to take the opportunity to support my customers and develop their skills and understanding of the science behind nutritional therapy. Dr Gaeta never seeks the limelight, but rather works diligently to develop a functional team of nutritional support consultants for the audience. He produces great results, is a true expert, and is very creative. A consummate professional in every sense of the word, Dr Gaeta is a great choice for seminar facilitation and nutritional consultation."

"Michael is a truly engaging speaker - an irresistible combination of funny, penetrating, alive and informative. In addition, he is delight to work with. Michael listens to requests and has that all-too-rare quality of delivering of delivering want you want, not just what he wants to say. I have seen him move audiences in ways that changed their lives and I have had the privilege of speaking on stage after Michael, to appreciate the kind of space he creates. This is a talented professional."

  • David Lesser, MBA, President, David Lesser & Associates

"I’ve just returned from attending my second seminar presented by Dr Michael Gaeta. I attended my first seminar last year here in Pennsylvania. Michael’s presentations both times were excellent. His topics are pointed and focused on timely material. His delivery was refreshing, and the information presented was easy to understand for practitioner or staff members at every level of education. Michael has a way of taking very complex information and presenting it in a way that is easy to understand. He engages the audience and keeps them focused. Michael also has a wonderful demeanor and humble way about him, which is a joy to experience. I highly recommend that you bring Michael’s seminars into your area."
