HOW AM I DIFFERENT FROM OTHER NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS?
I became a Master Nutrition Therapist because the realistic, honest, time-tested principles behind holistic nutrition make the most sense. Holistic nutrition takes every aspect of each individual's life circumstances into careful consideration. There is nothing "alternative" about holistic nutrition; it is simply fundamental.
After carefully evaluating different courses of study and credentialing programs, I chose the cutting-edge, robust, in-classroom nutrition program at the Nutrition Therapy Institute. Learning, brainstorming and cooking with my fellow students provided a much richer learning experience than what I could find in any online nutritionist or coaching program.
I can most effectively help my clients by delivering personalized recommendations based on natural, wholesome foods that our bodies can recognize and use, rather than condoning substances that may be genetically modified or created in a lab. No modern food manufacturer can improve on nature's intelligence. Food has changed more in the past century than ever before in human history, and the statistics of preventable, chronic diseases in our modern world speak for themselves. I study the nutritional practices of the happiest, most active and long-lived traditional populations on earth. The common theme among these societies is clean, pure, nutrient-dense nourishment that's appropriate for each climate and lifestyle.
“Losing weight and getting healthy don’t have as much to do with calories or fat grams or carb counting as you’ve been led to believe. The secret is to break free from food additives and obesogens that are getting in your body’s way as it tries to burn fat and keep you healthy.”
I believe that education leads to true understanding, motivation and empowerment. My clients love learning what's going on inside of their bodies, how metabolism works and how personal biochemistry really is. There are also many psychological aspects to nutrition therapy. I help clients through the emotional challenges of changing food choices and creating positive lifestyle habits. We determine what patterns are right for YOU. The composition, timing and thorough digestion of meals are key for physical and mental health as well as weight loss. Once we get away from outdated calorie counting and tiny portions, we can create a very easy diet so you feel licensed to enjoy delicious meals without worry.
