NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
Because Health Is The New Wealth
It’s a deep honor to educate, empower, and inspire you to reach your highest vitality.
I’ve seen that learning and practicing new habits is easiest with guidance and extended support. We are so lucky to live in a world where all of this can be done either in person, OR at our fingertips via zoom, email, phone and text…You can choose your best avenues for my support!
Recently, I’m most excited about teaching you the diet and lifestyle strategies which I’ve studied and used myself to gain efficient and flexible metabolism. Improving metabolism leads directly to having much more energy throughout the day, a healthier gut, better mood, better brain function and brain longevity, stronger immunity, getting better sleep, etc. Fixing the metabolism is being used by more and more natural health practitioners as preventative medicine for insulin resistance, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and MANY other degenerative diseases, as we are seeing that extreme diets like keto, carnivore, vegan, etc, aren’t helping people to truly thrive long-term.
I can help you identify which specific foods and lifestyle practices are best for your unique body type, your nutritional needs, and your personal goals. And/or, I can offer you a nutritional assessment based on your symptoms. Whichever avenue we use to narrow down your individual needs, I will follow through with a series of personalized diet and lifestyle coaching sessions (possibly with hands-on cooking sessions in your kitchen if you’d like!…see “Classes” page). And of course, I offer follow up support and accountability, affirming and celebrating your accomplishments, and possibly even creating personalized recipes and meal plans…I can create customized recipes based on your favorite flavor profiles such as Thai, Indian, Mexican, Italian, or Mediterranean!
Or, I can simply help you accomplish specific kinds of new healthy habits you most need, bit by bit, such as gently working your way off refined sugars, or practicing my strategies to eat lots more veggies flavorfully, or establishing any new daily habits at your own pace. And of course, I am a people-person, so I love cheerleading you into establishing any new diet and lifestyle practices from the outlines below.
With a 15 minute discovery call, we can decide together which kinds of my guidance and support you most need.
Making new friends with this transformational work is very fulfilling and inspiring…After 17 years of teaching people here in San Luis Obispo County whole food diet, cooking and lifestyle wisdom, I’ve truly seen that anything is possible!
