“Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food.”
This will not be your run of the mill, “eat more vegetables” nutrition consultation. Nutrition visits with me are more like lifestyle visits and on the initial visit we are going to look at many factors (most of which you may not even realize are relevant) that can influence your gut, digestions, and overall wellness. I call this my complete lifestyle assessment.
We will then work on a realistic plan that fits your goals and daily routine.
After the visit I will usually have you do a detailed food journal so we can break down what is and isn’t working for you. From there we can go into recipes, meal prepping, supplementation, grocery shopping, and everything you may need to be successful in you or your family’s nutrition journey.
What does a FIRST VISIT look like?
What BENEFITS could I see by working on my nutrition?
Everyone has heard the expression, “you are what you eat”, but most of us haven’t taken the time to process what that actually means. Every cell of our being is made up of the building blocks that we give it which come from our food. By improving upon your nutrition you are literally upgrading the cells in your body!
Nutrition is way more than dieting and looking good. It’s about improving the quality and quantity of your life. By working on your nourishment you may notice improvements in the following things:
decreased inflammation levels (improved joint/overall pain, digestion, puffiness, etc.)
increased energy levels
improved mood
decreased mood swings, low points, depressive episodes, anxiety
better mental clarity
hormone regulation and adrenal support
decreased autoimmune or chronic symptoms
decreased digestive upset
improved menstrual cycles and pain levels
improved digestive regularity
boosted immune function
improved sleep cycles
better oral health (decreased bad breath, cavities)
healthy hair, nails, and skin
decreased acne, breakouts, dry patches, etc.
improved body mass index (BMI)
this could mean releasing excess weight or adding on healthy weight
improved blood sugar regulation
This is just a small list of all the benefits you may see from upgrading your nutrition. The best benefit of all is knowing what your body needs and how to take care of it as that is the most valuable life skill that most of us aren’t taught anymore.

This is kind of up to you! The most important thing is that we make a plan or give guidelines that you will actually implement. So if you’re a structured meal plan person we can make you one!
-
Absolutely, I often tailor sessions to certain conditions or goals we want to work on. That could look like supplementation and foods for anxiety or what to watch out for if you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)!
-
The most important thing to me is that we get you to a place where you feel confident in your nutrition and nourishment. For some people that may happen sooner than others and that’s okay.
I usually recommend a 3 session minimum prebook. This is about the amount of time we need to make a full assessment on your health and outline a plan for your goals.
