Nutrition Education

Personalized Nutrition Plans

• Thoroughly evaluate your current nutritional intake, lifestyle behaviors, health conditions, preferences, and more.
• Identify your motivations, challenges, and definition of success when it comes to food and wellness.
• Unpack the whys behind what we eat – physiology, psychology, social norms, convenience, and so on.
• Bridge the gap between nutrition science and real-life application with practical solutions.
• My teaching style blends humor and straight talk to break complex concepts into understandable chunks. You’ll walk away with simple habits that stack up to life-changing results.

What I Cover in My Nutrition Education

• The Basics - Get grounded in fundamentals like macronutrients and micronutrients, balancing nutrients, and calories for your specific goal, correctly reading labels, building nutritious plates and snacks, stocking healthier ingredients, and basic cooking skills.
  
  
• Disease Prevention - Understand how diet significantly impacts the risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer and the ability to manage diagnoses through food to support the structure and function of your body.
  
  
• Physiology - Learn how nutrients influence hormone regulation, digestion, blood sugar control, brain function, immune response, bodily processes, genetics, and epigenetics for empowered self-care.
  
  
• Gut + Mind Connection - Appreciate nutrition's effects on physical and mental health – from mood, stress tolerance, and decision-making to gut microbiome diversity driving whole body equilibrium.
  
  
• Nutrient Density - Prioritize foods packed with protective compounds like antioxidants and phytonutrients found primarily in plants/lean proteins rather than “empty calories” that can provoke inflammation.
  
  
• Bioindividuality - Grasp why there are no “superfoods" or universal prescriptions – ingredient sensitivities, deficiencies, and genetic uniqueness mean what fuels one body may not fuel another.
  
  
• Intuitive Eating - Reject restrictive diets, escape the cycle of emotional eating, and learn to trust internal hunger/fullness cues naturally for a peaceful approach to food and body.
  
  
• Lifestyle Integration - Level up overall wellbeing through nutrition combined with other pillars like sleep, stress management, social connections, physical activity, and self-care/mindfulness practices.
