We practice a holistic approach to nutrition, which means we look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect your whole. The power to change our lives lies in the choices we make everyday. We give you the tools you need to dramatically improve your health and total wellness.
Food is not the only form of nourishment.
Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual practice are essential forms of nourishment. When these "primary foods" are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. We dive deeply into your nutritional, physical, mental and spiritual needs.
How balanced is your circle?
NUTRITION: No one diet works for everyone. The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has their own nutritional needs. So, when the experts say, “dairy is good for you” or “fat is unhealthy,” it’s too much of a generalization. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets don’t work in the long run. We look at your age, health, activity level, blood type, metabolic rate and lifestyle to determine what works for you. My approach is based on the Integrative Nutrition pyramid depicting a balanced approach to nutrition focusing on more high-quality, organic vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, protein and water; less meat, milk, sugar and artificial food.
The pyramid is surrounded with the primary food circle - the parts of life that satisfy our hunger for living and creating a balanced and fulfilled life.
PHYSICAL: The MIND-BODY CONNECTION is huge. Our physical condition and mental outlook are mutually dependent on one another. If you are happy in your body and happy with who you are you have the confidence to go after the what you want. At NOURISHED, we emphasize the existence through exercise and eating healthy and believe that continuing to refine this relationship is the key to realizing our potential as individuals.
MENTAL: Let’s face it, life’s a challenge. There are always going to be tough obstacles to overcome. We all have issues, fears, childhood anxieties, and mental blocks that can stop us from living our most fulfilled life. People who use poor dietary patterns such as over-eating or addiction are simply hidding or covering up hidden feelings. And, we have found that at the root of any serious health concern there is always an emotional blockage. These typically include procrastination, self-sabotage, excessive cravings, binge eating, body image issues, and low self esteem. At NOURISHED, we are experienced in guiding you to overcome the obstacles that stop you from attaining goals.
SPIRITUAL: Life is about evolving and learning. We are simultaneously teaching and learning. While our knowledge and methodology is transferred to our clients through individualized programs, we are continually changing and learning from you.
