Nutrition
It’s rare for anyone to get to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a Health Coach I create a supportive environment to help you to achieve your health goals. I have studied all the major dietary theories and use practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you.
Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, or proteins. No one diet works for everyone. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness.
I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does your job or your relationship cause you to overeat?Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how the way you live affects your health as a whole, and I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. Then, I will help you make gradual, lifelong changes to foster the best potential for your success.
My approach is flexible, fun and rewarding. Below are some concepts that we will explore during our work together.
Bio-Individuality:
Each person has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison. That’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I'll support you to make changes based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and even ancestral background. It's a personalized holistic approach to help you succeed!
Primary Food:
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. Factors present in our daily lives such as healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. Having the right nourishment in your body, foods and otherwise, will give you the energy to live an inspired, fulfilling life.
Integrative Nutrition Plate:
This emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a complete plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions an portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. I’ll introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body.
