The relationship between nutritionist and client holds the utmost importance in integrative nutrition. With evidence-based diet and lifestyle changes, we will work together to find what works best for you. Focusing on the underlying cause of disease and taking into consideration your unique conditions and circumstances, we find the best interventions to help you regain and maintain optimal health.

Integrative Nutrition

Priorities

• Individualized nutrition. No two people are the same; this is especially true when it comes to your health concerns, circumstances, and priorities. Your plan is specific to your needs. We will explore different diets and approaches (Paleo, low-carb, vegetarian, intermittent fasting, time restricted eating, fasting mimicking diet, and more).

• Your health issues. We will look at your current concerns - from chronic disease, weight loss, GI distress, sleep, stress, mental health, autoimmune diseases, prevention, and more - to determine your highest priorities.

• Prevention. We will find the best diet and lifestyle choices for preventative measures against disease and family/genetic health concerns and to promote your best health.

• Habits. Changing habits isn't easy. Together we will devise a plan to remove obstacles to creating new lasting habits.

• Mindfulness. Mindful eating allows time for non-judgemental observation and an opportunity to make new choices that support health and healing. We will look at how you are eating in addition to what you are eating.

• Sustainability. The quality of food is an important piece of the health puzzle. I worked in sustainable food education for 10 years and can help you navigate the confusion around sustainability, organic food, animal welfare certifications, pesticides, etc.

• Reality! Let's be realistic... we are not going to be "perfect" all of the time, but that is OK. Enjoy and get back on track.
