Please raise
your hand if you have said 'I know what to
do, I just don’t do it.’ This is the phrase
that I hear time and time again. Though I
may challenge the fact that ‘most people
know what to do’ simply because there is so
much misinformation circulating out there.
Most people have become confused and seem to
be waiting on pins and needles for the
latest and greatest gimmick to come out and
teach them how to eat. Is it the glycemic
index, point system, low carb, no carb,
omega-3 infused…it seems we have lost sight
of our relationship with food. I would like
to help you to develop a healthy
relationship with food and turn 'I know what
to do, I just don't do it,' into, 'I know
what to do and this is easy!.' |

My philosophy of nutrition is
built on simple yet profound concepts: |
 |
The best nutrition program
for you is the nutrition program that you
can follow healthfully for the rest of your
life. |
|
|
The all-or-nothing approach
does not work. I won’t help you become
perfect. I will help you become healthier
and meet your health goals. |
|
|
It's not just
about food. I treat the whole body and focus
on improving all lifestyle factors including
stress reduction, improved sleep and
activity, practicing mindfulness and
balanced nutrition. |
|
|
I will meet you where you are
at, focus on what you are comfortable
changing and help you improve from there. |
|
|
I will
encourage you to set realistic goals and to
implement change gradually. When done
consistently these gradual changes will
become second nature to you; healthy habits
for you to live by. |

In a perfect
world we would have a healthy relationship
with food. We would eat for nourishment,
enjoy every bite and never overeat or feel
guilty about the choices we make. We would
eat when we were hungry, allow our
connection with our bodies and mind to help
direct us to the right foods and stop when
we were full, not stuffed. Foods would taste
pleasurable; a newfound experience with each
taste and texture. We would stop to think
where each food came from and choose foods
for their taste, beauty and enjoyment. We
would have only real food to choose from and
not be constantly bombarded by the marketing
of non-food products. |
|
If you fall short of
this style of eating please
consider that you are only human. Sometimes
it is hard enough to remember to eat, let
alone take a moment to close your eyes and
actually experience your food. Let’s face
it, life has a habit of getting in the way.
Through our work together you
will learn which simple and sustainable
changes will be the most effective to your
long term health. |
|
This is how I have helped hundreds of my
patients meet their goals. I’ve been called,
“the angel on my shoulder,”… “the best
friend in my corner”… “the best thing that
ever happened to me.” I change people’s
lives for the better and I couldn’t possibly
love my job more. |
