Nutrition
Many diseases we see today are directly linked to diet and lifestyle. What we eat and drink is the basis for all health and disease. Eat optimally – feel optimal. Holistic nutrition considers how we are biologically designed to eat and how foods affect the whole body systems including mind, emotions and spirit.
My coaching is not a lose weight fast calorie counting program. I guide my clients through becoming informed about today’s food industry, how our current American Dietary Guidelines are affecting us and how to make healthy food choices with each meal. I advocate an eating plan rich in bioavailable nutrients that incorporates natural healthy fats, high quality animal foods, plenty of vegetables, low sugar/carbohydrate intake, unprocessed whole foods that are closest to nature and an individualized food plan (depending on your goals, health challenges, nutritional needs and restrictions).
I don't believe there is one diet that's perfect for everyone. Our nutritional needs shift with the seasons, life stages and times of illness. With my training and experience in nutritional therapy and modern food wisdom I aim to educate and empower my clients to achieve improved health and freedom from illness, both today and in the future through addressing imbalances caused by improper nutrition.
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." ~ Hippocrates, father of medicine
Wellness
Holistic health and natural medicine is a distinct primary health care, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal mind, body, spirit health. It is far older than conventional Allopathic Medicine and has in fact infused various healing traditions around the world since the dawn of recorded history. For example, as early as 5,000 BCE, traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine recognized that human beings were comprised of body, mind and spirit and that health represents a harmonious balance within all three.
As a versatile holistic health practitioner, I recognize and work with the inherent and intelligent self-healing process within each and every one of us. I listen to my clients needs and act to identify underlying issues. I'll address any physical, emotional and energetic imbalances rather than suppress the symptoms.
I educate my clients and encourage self-responsibility. I take into account my client's physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors. Since overall wellness also includes other aspects of our whole-body, I often encourage clients to incorporate other safe and effective healing therapies that I believe is beneficial.
