I don't believe there is a one size fits all diet or plan
(encompassing all things like stress, diet, self care, exercise, sleep, relationships, etc).
I believe in bio-individuality - which essentially
means that each one of us is different.
What works for me might not work for you,
entirely different might work for someone else.
That is why most diets will work for some people and
not for others.
I also believe that we need to eat a nutrient dense,
whole foods diet that has been properly prepared. By that I mean we need to eat real food. Our food should be as close to the form it was originally grown or raised in, and prepared in a way that preserves or enhances the
nutritional value of the food.
I don't believe in counting calories, grams, ounces, etc.
It is something I did in the past for myself and with clients. I feel it does not teach us to listen to our bodies' intuition, and often times can lead to
having a bad relationship with food.
I look at how your body is using the food you are eating. You can be eating the most pristine diet, but if you are not digesting it properly or absorbing the nutrients fully, you'll
consequently have nutritional deficiencies.
I believe that our bodies never lie and never deceive us.
If your body is asking for something...through a craving, a health complaint, or other signs and symptoms, then it is our job to figure this out...
we will together.
In some ways, I consider myself to be a "health hacker" as opposed to a Functional Nutritionist. Thinking and working in this way is the opposite of traditional care, which usually suppresses symptoms; instead
I work to eliminate symptoms
by addressing the underlying cause
of the problem.
I view the body as an interconnected whole, and recognize the importance of these connections in health and disease.
So, with this, I am on a mission to help as many women, men, and children find freedom from their health concerns.
It is my sincere hope that through working together, I give you the tools to truly nourish your mind, body, and spirit to achieve your
greatest level of health and well being.
I hope this empowers you, as well as educates and encourages you
to play an active role in the healing process.
