It takes stamina to be well and live life to the fullest, and nothing increases endurance and energy like diet, nutrition and exercise.
Getting the appropriate amounts of nutrients can be tricky.
Nutrition is more than just eating right and taking supplements. Each of us has different needs that must be addressed on an individual basis.
With my nutrition counseling, I will teach you simple things you can do every day to take control of
your health with diet, appropriate nutritional supplementation and specific nutritional techniques.
My background and education in psychology, naturopathy, and nutrition help me to recognize trends in the latest body
of research on
nutrition, alternative methods of healing, and other supplements, I can help you accomplish much more than you could on
your own.
How I Can Help
I read daily reports in medical journals on the latest research.
I've learned through my schooling and years of experience with clients what works - and what doesn't. For example, you may be surprised to learn that:
- Eating soy products more than a couple of times a week can be dangerous for children and adults.
- There are a number of safe, natural supplements that have been proven to help with weight loss.
- Restricting sugar and caffeine in people with depression has been reported to elevate mood in several studies.
- The most effective way to prevent postpartum depression is with prenatal nutrition.
- Psychiatrists in Russia and New York have cured schizophrenia in multiple studies with fasting therapy.
This is just a sampling of what I've learned about how nutrition and lifestyle can help us lead healthier emotional lives.
Our emotional and physical health are closely linked to one another and to our diet.
Nutrition education is possibly the most important therapy to treat many health problems.
In numerous clinical studies nutrition has been shown to help the following:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bipolar disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Insomnia and sleeping difficulties
- Eating disorders
- Substance abuse
- Smoking cessation
- Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Autistic spectrum disorders
- Chronic fatigue syndrome and general fatigue
- Hormone imbalance
- Low sex drive
- Stress-related symptoms
- Aging and cognitive decline
- Poor memory or lack of mental clarity
- Alzhiemer's disease and other forms of dementia
What Research Tells Us
Research has also shown that lifestyle changes, such as nutrition and diet, are the first line of therapy
for treating chronic illness or reducing the risk of other serious health conditions, such as:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Menopause
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- Overweight/Obesity
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- High blood sugar
- Eczema and other skin conditions
- Migraine headaches
- Chronic pain such as low back pain
- Hypothyroidism
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Sinusitis
- Immune related problems such as herpes zoster
- Dental Disease
Many of these health problems can be treated or reversed by adopting a new approach to nutrition. Optimum health
starts with knowledge - the knowledge to make informed decisions that impact your health every day. I'll give you
easy ways to track your progress, tips for success, reminders, and support that will help you
achieve your goals.
My nutrition counseling can help you:
- Address the underlying cause of common health problems
- Take control of your health by providing you with the necessary tools
- Live your life in a way that improves your health
- Feel good now, and maintain good health for years to come
My nutrition counseling works because it is based on:
- The most current scientific research
- Concepts proven in recent controlled clinical studies
- Proven alternative and complementary medical methods
- Dietary practices that have worked for thousands of years
I look forward to helping you to feel the best possible - now and for years to come.
