Why Hire a Registered Holistic Nutritionist? White Rock, South Surrey

Hey there health seeker!

Holistic nutrition is no longer reserved for earthly mammas and hippy folks. As the awareness concerning the impact of over processed and chemical laced ‘food products’ spreads, we are starting to recognize the irrefutable connection between unhealthy eating habits and disease. It’s simple really; we want to be happy. If we don’t feel well, we suffer and feel unhappy. Being healthy is not just the absence of disease. Being healthy means that you wake up in the morning, jump out of bed and scream (in your head mostly)’ I feel freakin fantastic and I can’t wait to see what amazing things will this day will bring!!’ This might seem a little over the top to you, a foreign notion perhaps. But once you experience this type of well being, where you feel joy with every morsel of your being, you get it. And you want to feel more of it.

So how can a holistic nutritionist help you achieve your wonderful over the top health goals?

1. We make you feel good. Being healthy is not just the absence of disease, it’s about feeling great. As you start to incorporate more healthier foods and lifestyle recommendations, you naturally start to feel more happy, energized, and drop a few pounds. The more healthy substitutions you learn to make, the better you feel.

2. We listen. We go way back and learn all about your history. How did you get to this place, how does your diet, lifestyle, relationships, stress levels, occupation, emotional and mental health contribute to the way you feel. Once we lay out the blueprint, we can start to make recommendations that are individualized to your lifestyle.

3. We help you find the root cause of your health concern rather than just treating the symptoms. You have tried every diet in the world and you still feel stuck, overwhelmed and unhappy. A great Holistic Nutritionist will help you discover the root cause of your health problem. Symptoms are your body’s means of communicating that something isn’t working. Getting to the root of the problem requires a detailed knowledge of one’s health history, obtained through an in-depth intake information session and a variety of tools to assess nutritional status, deficiencies and excesses.

4. We empower our clients through education. By explaining why we recommend specific foods, herbs, and supplements we help our clients understand the impact on their health. This in turn increases compliance and success.

5. We look at each person as an individual. We are all biochemically unique and what may work for one person, may not work so well for someone else. By designing a personalized protocol including diet, supplements and lifestyle, we help you find what works best for the one and only YOU!

6. We are your personal health cheerleader. Let’s face it, we all get stuck in a rut sometimes. Having someone on your side, guiding you and cheering you on will motivate you to get healthy and stay healthy is what will finally help stick to your goals and ensure your success!

7. We focus on  long term health goals. Not only do we get you feeling fabulous, we help you stay that way! By making simple subtle changes in your life now will ensure a fabulous healthy you for years to come.

8. We are whole food advocates. We believe that the human body is a self-healing and self-rejuvenating organism when given the proper tools and environment. Whole foods are after all the best medicine. We don’t just tell you not to eat the bad stuff, we guide you towards healthier alternatives to your favourite foods. As you begin to ditch the fake chemical laced food like products, your digestion, skin and energy levels will improve immensely.

9. We make healthy digestion a priority. Without proper digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients, your overall health will suffer and lead to disease.Without an individualized action plan to improve your digestion it’s unlikely that you will experience the high energy, beautiful skin and weight loss results you are hoping to achieve. Happy belly = healthy body.

10. We help you sort through the media driven hype and find a balanced diet and lifestyle that works for YOU. Vegan? What exactly does a raw foodist eat? Caveman what?? Don’t worry, we will explain and help you make sense of it all. Hint, a balanced diet does NOT involve the North American Food Pyramid.

11. We emphasize nutrients, not calorie counting. Wohoo!! Yes it’s true, you don’t need to count calories to lose weight or achieve your health goals. It’s not sustainable nor is there a need for it. By following a diet rich in a healthy balance of nutrient dense foods high in fibre, healthy fats and essential macro and micro nutrients there is simply no need to count calories. Losing weight will actually be a side effect of eating a nutrient dense diet:)

12. Practical advice individualized to your needs. A great Holistic Nutritionist (me) will also help you out in the kitchen with functional meal planning advice, healthy substitutions that work for you and your family, and of course loads of nutritious and mouthwatering recipes.
