Ethos Nutrition 💚 We love a holistic and integrated approach to health issues to help restore balance, lifeforce, health & wellbeing.
All bodily systems are connected, e.g. gut-brain. All hormones are connected, e.g. cortisol-progesterone. Our lifestyle also dictates state of our overall health - physically & mentally.
And there is nutrition supporting or damaging (in a case of bad nutrition) our physiological, emotional, metabolic and mental health.
Functional and integrated nutrition can reach deep into the cells & roots and truly nourish. This can bring forth balance and transformation serving the whole being. Doesn't matter how complex the health issue.

Ethos Nutrition 💚 Veganuary - choose wisely
A wholefood plant-based diet with real plant foods and 100% natural ingredients and without any animal products can be highly nutritious and really helpful for healing, cleansing, weight loss and more, over a limited time period. But if applied long term, from a nutritional point of view, after many months individuals may lose out in important nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, omega-3 and potentially in some amino acids. It is really important to supplement with a vegan-multinutrient nutritional supplement if considering a long term wholefood plant diet free from animal products. Or get some advice from a professional nutritionist like myself, to find how else to address potential nutrient insufficiency.

Just watch out for these lab-made vegan foods such as cheese, burgers, sausages etc. These often contain deranged fat molecules where natural vegetable fats have been highly heated in the food processing/manufacturing. They are called trans fats and can over time be quite harmful to cell tissue for example in arteries or liver. The best is to make your own veggie-burgers, vegan cheese safely and enjoy Veganuary with real foods.
I'm always happy to give out nutritious & easy recipe ideas for plant-based burger etc. Just ping me a message or pop in to see me.

Ethos Nutrition 🍀 A little bit of stress in life can be healthy and sometimes helps us move forward. A little bit of stress on our body, e.g. walking in the cold or exercising, also can do us good.
But when stress becomes too intense and long term, as a nutritional therapist I would recommend to take a holistic approach and help balance stress with body work, art work, breath work and diet & nutrients such as adaptogens & adrenal support. And also selfcare...be gentle to yourself. All this can help to build up resilience to stress and balance the nervous system. In addition, counseling and/or journaling can be helpful as well of course, as part of a holistic approach.
