Introduction: Although I see clients in my home office suite (designated for privacy with full kitchen for cooking demonstrations), I am a true believer in discovering obstacles that limit wellness success by making in-home visits. I feel this step is crucial for me to help with your long-term wellness goals. I encourage all my patients to re-claim their food pantry. My passion is teaching people the significant role of consuming realand fresh food every day and the positive benefits on their health and body. As Hippocrates famously said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." You will learn the importance of consuming a diet balanced in protein, healthy fats, whole grain/unprocessed carbohydrates and the impact of consuming foods, which can help you create good health for life and as an added benefit from consuming foods that help reduce (disease prevention) the risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and dementia. As a side effect, you will look better on the outside too, but we will start from the inside first! I provide nutrition counseling to clients diagnosed with diabetes/pre-diabetes, obesity, cardiac disease, gastrointestinal disorders (Crohns, celiac disease, IBS and colitis) food sensitivities and intolerance, weight gain for strength or for those diagnosed with cancer, sports nutrition, renal disease and congestive heart failure. Food has such a huge impact on our emotional, physical and psychological well-being. It can make us feel better; it can make us feel worse. Are you ready to change your lifestyle?
