I serve people who:
Are struggling to make sense of what is true and what is not from the clutter of mixed & contradicting information out there about health, food & diet
Have tried multiple “diets” and pills with some visible results but never resulted in a SATISFACTORY long term result
Desperately want to manage or treat their health conditions through natural ways before beginning a medical/drug treatment program
Know the what’s & how’s to eat and live healthy but struggle to get started or develop the discipline to adapt it into their family or hectic lifestyles
I help them by:
Debunking information to give only trusted and evidence-based health & nutrition FACTS that is relevant to their own unique needs. I walk them through a step-by-step simpler but realistic guide to feeling their best Inside and Out, for long-term! Resolving their health complications while working together with their healthcare team to provide the best medical nutrition therapy available. Giving them the tools to seamlessly integrate healthy living practices within their families and lifestyles while becoming their ongoing coach and accountability partner to ensure success.
