The Whole Food Pyramid
A whole food diet is about eating:
- a wide variety and large quantity of fresh, preferably organic, locally grown fruits and vegetables
- a small portion of good quality meat, poultry or fish (from an animal that's been fed a natural diet and allowed to move as it would in nature)
- a small amount of good quality fat to keep you full
- herbs and spices to taste
Primary Food™
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. 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. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.Bio-Individuality™
The concept of bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and 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 positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.Crowding Out
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will “crowd out” the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you all the way.
Deconstructing Cravings
Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and shouldn’t be ignored. When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re really telling you, you will be able to reclaim a sense of balance and harmony.
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach I will guide and mentor you, empowering you to make the changes you need to. I will provide ongoing support and guidance as you set goals and make sustainable changes that improve your health and happiness.
I will assess where your health is currently and work with you to find what your body needs to allow your health to thrive and your energy to return.
Together we will:
- Decipher your body’s unique needs
- Connect the dots between who you are and who you want to be
- Set your personal goals and work towards sustainable change
