EAT WELL
I strongly believe there is no ONE nutrition plan that works for everyone. There is so much confusion surrounding what we should be eating. When you’re feeling unsure if you should eat something or not, the question you need to ask yourself is:
“Is what I am eating a nutrient-dense, whole food?”
We will take a deeper dive into many of the topics that create food confusion. These will include:
Nutrient Density
Food Psychology and calming practices around food
Intuitive Eating Tips
Macro and Micronutrients
Nature’s Superfoods
Food combining
Making Vegetables the STAR
Gut health
What’s right for YOUR body (Paleo/Whole 30, low carb/keto, low fat, vegetarian/vegan, and macro counting)
Micronutrients
Dairy & Grains
And, of course, I will share some favorite healthy recipes!
Most importantly, know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to YOUR nutrition. We have different genes, different gene expression, different lifestyles, health issues, activity levels, and goals. All of these elements influence what an optimal approach might be, and these factors change over time. The only way to truly know what is best for you is experimentation. We will cover how to go about doing finding your optimal nutrition and offer you support and tips to make nutrition less overwhelming.
TRUTH: I STILL get overwhelmed by nutrition too, the constant evolution of science surrounding food, and I study this stuff. I get stressed and grab a cookie. Making ourselves aware of our habits is one step in moving closer to healthier eating. But a cookie now and then is what makes life more fun! We will find the balance between what nourishes your body, and what feeds your soul.
