My Approach to Nutrition and Health
I practice longevity science based approach to weight loss, optimal digestion and metabolic health
My approach is not to dwell on calorie counting, lists of restrictions, or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a personalized diet, nutrition, and health plan that is flexible, fun, and empowering, geared towards longevity and optimal health.
Together we work to reach your optimal weight, reduce food cravings, improve digestion, and maximize energy. As we work together, you’ll develop an understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for YOU and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, hormones, and health.
Nutrition and Health
Digestive Health
if you are struggling with frequent bloating, diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, SIBO, IBS, inflammatory conditions, candida, etc.
I offer my clients life-changing digestive health protocols with personalized diets, functional nutrition, and supplement programs according to various assessment tests such as comprehensive stool test result, GI map
Anti-Aging Lifestyle and Longevity Program
If you are struggling with autoimmune conditions, allergies, low moods, unexplained fatigue, and vulnerability to colds and flu. I can help you to maintain a young, healthy, and beautiful glow which is possible with proper nutrition and lifestyle changes. You’ll learn to incorporate key nutrients and superfoods to sustain your youthful glow and stamina. Together we will develop a lifestyle plan (even for busy folks)aimed at you looking and feeling your best. I’ll introduce you to some of the world’s healthiest foods and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!
Deconstructing Cravings and Food Addiction
Cravings and addiction 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, harmony, and confidence.
Weight Loss
Losing weight and keeping it off can be difficult. If you’ve tried everything and still find yourself spinning your wheels, Diet and cleanses are not the answer for permanent weight loss. I can help you make sustainable lifestyle changes according to your body’s needs and keep you motivated so you can lose weight and learn how to keep it off for good. Together we will create a 28-day meal plan around your cycle.
Bio-Individuality™
I approach each client as a unique individual. Bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you in making changes based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background according to your genetic tests, microbial makeup, and metabolism.
Healthy Mindset with Guided Meditations
It’s easy to overlook everything that contributes 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. Through Food Therapy (guided meditative hypnosis) you are able to create a vision for your life, heal, and let go of food trauma to create a new version of yourself.
