Healthful Living San Diego

Healthful Living San Diego Master of Science in Integrative Nutrition. Nutritionist, Certified GAPS Practitioner, BCHN®️ This is what Nutritional Therapy does in the 21st century.

“Let food by thy medicine, and medicine be thy food” (Hippocrates 460 B.C.) is one of the fundamental principles that Hippocrates, the father of western medicine, used to help people maintain optimal health. As a holistic discipline used for thousands of years, Nutritional Therapy is now being rediscovered by modern culture. This system of healing is based on the belief that food, the way nature i

ntended, provides our bodies with the materials necessary to achieve optimal health. Our bodies are constantly exposed to environmental toxins, lack of sunshine and exercise, prepackaged foods stripped of all their real nutrients, and stress. In our fast-paced world, eating is often considered as a nuisance, something that interrupts our busy lives. We have to “eat fast”, maybe while working at the desk, or driving around, hence the poor choices we make (fast-food, drive-thrus, 90 second microwave meals), sacrificing the quality of the food we eat in the name of convenience. Nutritional Therapy will help you embrace food for what it should be, our sustenance, and will teach you how to wisely nourish yourself and your loved ones.

🌟Client Spotlight: Emily’s Transformation!🌟

“All I can say is wow. Not only did Francesca completely knock it out of the park, she became someone I looked forward to chatting with on a daily basis.

I was really struggling with hormone imbalances and gut issues, and after my doctor told me that I was ‘fine,’ I knew something was up. I found Francesca and immediately liked her flexibility to meet with me, and her vast knowledge of supplementation and why things weren’t working properly in my body. I signed on with her right away.

We worked together for 3 months, using supplementation and minor tweaks in my diet that allowed me to experience ZERO premenstrual symptoms, healthy bathroom visits, and an overall leveled out mood around my menstrual cycle. I was also suffering from extreme fatigue, and boy did she clear that up as well. I am sleeping like a rock, wake up feeling energized (even if I don’t get enough hours of sleep), not craving unhealthy foods, have regular BM, little to no anxiety (which is something I’ve struggled with my whole life), and ZERO stomach cramping.

I struggled with cramping in my stomach for almost 10 years. No one has been able to figure out what was wrong, or even took the time to help me. I can’t thank Francesca enough for her patience, her knowledge, and her confidence in natural supplementation and diet to heal my ailments! If you are ever wondering if she is the right fit… don’t look elsewhere! She is the real deal!!”

🌙✨ Ready for your best night’s sleep? Your evening routine can make all the difference! Try dimming the lights, sipping a calming herbal tea, and putting away screens at least an hour before bed.

😴 Did you know a poor night’s sleep does more than just make you tired?

✨ Here’s what happens after a rough night:

🩸 **Glucose:** Your body becomes less sensitive to insulin, making it harder to manage blood sugar.

💓 **Blood Pressure:** Lack of sleep can raise your blood pressure, increasing heart health risks.

😰 **Cortisol:** Stress hormone levels spike, making you feel more anxious and on edge.

🍕 **Appetite:** You’re likely to crave more high-calorie foods and eat more overall!

Prioritize your sleep tonight—your body will thank you! 🌙💙

✨ Why Do We Self-Sabotage? ✨

I was talking with a fellow health coach about a client stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage and frustration. She asked, “Why does this keep happening?”

Here’s what I shared:
Sometimes, the life we have now feels safer than the life we could have if we changed—even if it’s not what we truly want. Self-sabotage can be a way of staying in our comfort zone because the unknown feels scary.

Next time you notice this pattern, ask yourself:
**“What am I getting from staying where I am?”**
