When was the last time you received the personal attention you deserve and talked with someone about your health?
It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to explore their wellness goals with a trained professional. As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I create a supportive environment that enables you to articulate and achieve your goals. Throughout my education, I have been exposed to the most cutting-edge dietary theories and studied highly effective coaching techniques to help you find the right lifestyle that works best for you.
Most approaches to healthy eating dwell on calories, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to explore basic improvements and implement gradual changes during our work together. As these pieces accumulate, my clients find the changes collectively create a much larger impact than they originally expected. We work on what you want to improve, and within the circumstances of your unique situation.

Did you know that over 60% of the human body is made up of water? That is a shocking percentage considering that many people still tend to choose sodas, and other sugar-laden drinks to stay hydrated.
To properly hydrate our bodies, it is essential that we get adequate amounts of water into our systems on a daily basis.
Here are some tips for incorporating water into your routine, especially if you struggle with liking water enough to drink it!
Add Flavor
Adding lemon, lime, mint, fresh berries, or cucumber slices to water is a good way to switch it up so that you can be sure to get the ounces in!
Bathroom Break
Make a game of it, and have a glass of water whenever you take a bathroom break.
Drink Before You Eat
Having a glass of water between every meal helps with hydration, and can help to better signal fullness.
Use an App
Use a water tracking app to keep track of how many glasses you drink.
Eat Water-Rich Foods
Add water-packed foods to your diet, such as cucumber, celery, watermelon, and zucchini.

Here are some pillars of a healthier diet that you can explore for yourself:
1. Aim to eat three meals a day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Keep in mind that dinner does not have to be the largest meal; In many cultures, the largest meal is consumed in the middle of the day.
2. The bulk of your diet ideally consists of plant-based foods, with ample fruits and vegetables. Plus, prioritize whole grains over processed grains. Dairy products, if tolerated, can be consumed, but look for dairy without added sugar (like flavored yogurts)!
3. Choose quality protein, like lean meats, poultry, fish, legumes, eggs, and nuts and seeds.
4. Be mindful of portion sizes; it can be easy to eat more than intended when you’re distracted, so put down your phone and focus on all the sensations and textures of your meal to better indicate feelings of fullness. When you are satisfied, take note of the portion size. .
5. Avoid eating a large meal before bedtime to decrease gastroesophageal reflux. Eating right before sleep can also increase chances of weight gain.
6. Move away from using food as a reward, especially with children. Find other ways to reward yourself or your children for good deeds or meeting goals, such as treating yourself to a spa day or buying a new book.
7. Snacks are okay in moderation. Choose healthier snack items like homemade trail mix, whole pieces of fruit, veggies and hummus, or banana with peanut butter. Snacks are great for satisfying hunger between meals, but again, be mindful of why you’re wanting a snack (are you hungry or bored? More on this later!).
