NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship(s) cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
I work with my clients to get in touch with their body’s needs because I understand that life happens and your needs will change. I want to equip you with the self-awareness to make the best decisions for yourself in any given circumstance. I believe each person is fully capable of making well-informed decisions as their own expert, not the latest magazine article or fad diet book.
Let’s define what you value most from your well-being. We’ll use these visions to motivate specific goals that bring you closer to where you want to be. As your coach, I will not dictate a diet for you, but together we will explore why some foods make you feel better than others and how to strategically use that feedback. Together we’ll co-create your health goals within reasonable time frames and actionable objectives so you know exactly what you’re working toward.

- Nutrition science is constantly changing based on current research, which leads to new recommendations. However, there are basic nutrition principles that remain the same. Nutrition professionals’ practices change and evolve as new emerging research develops. We go through the current research, so you can focus on eating nutrient-dense recipes while eating to nourish your body correctly.
- Focus on including healthy, nutrient-dense foods, rather than restricting high caloric, low-nutrient-dense foods. If you provide your body with the proper nutrients, you are less likely to crave processed, unhealthy foods.
- Eat a diverse diet. Try to eat the rainbow of colorful foods. Each produce color provides the body with different phytonutrients. Green produce provides the body with iron, magnesium, and chlorophyll. By eating the rainbow, you know you are giving your body a wide range of vitamins and minerals.
- Eat more plants and plant-based meals. Plant protein can provide the body with amazing health benefits. Eating plant-based can help lower the risk of chronic diseases. Replacing a few meals a week with more plant-based choices can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure numbers. Remember, strive for progress, not perfection.
- Make balanced food choices. It is essential to include foods from all macronutrients. Carbohydrates are not the enemy. We need carbs to fuel our bodies and, in particular, our brain. Eating the correct carbohydrates will provide the body with sustained energy to get through the tasks of the day.
- Strive for a healthy lifestyle, which is more sustainable than a restrictive diet plan. You can learn to tune in to your body's internal hunger cues and figure out how to eat intuitively.
- Always choose progress over perfection. Each meal is a fresh start to include nutrient-dense healing foods. The phrase "let food be thy medicine" is powerful. Food choices can help reverse and prevent some chronic diseases. Nourishing one's body with delicious nutrient-dense foods can not only make you feel amazing, but also your health and well-being all benefit.
- Recipes are created with nutritional science research in mind. Vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients are key when formulating a new recipe. You may see many recipes that include adaptogens. Adaptogenic herbs help the body cope with lifestyle stressors, and I love to create new recipes that incorporate various adaptogens. They provide good stress support. Adaptogens work by helping regulate the adrenal system of the body. They can boost your energy levels, improve your immune system, and deal with everyday stress better.
- Remain positive in your wellness journey. Gain support from close family members and friends that encourage your journey.
9 Holistic Nutrition Principles
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.
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 along the way.
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.
Primary Food
Nutrition Concepts Explored
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.
