A holistic approach
I practice a holistic approach to nutrition,which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect the whole.
No one diet works for everyone
The concept of bio-individuality is
that each person has their own nutritional needs. So, when the experts say,
“dairy is good for you” or “fat is unhealthy,” it’s too much of a
generalization. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why
fad diets don’t work in the long run. I look at your age, health, activity
level, blood type, metabolic rate and personal preferences to determine your
dietary needs.
Everything
is food
Healthy
relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual
practice are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are
balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.
Integrative Nutrition Pyramid
The Integrative Nutrition pyramid depicts a balanced approach to
nutrition: more high-quality, organic vegetables, fruits, complex
carbohydrates, protein and water; less meat, milk, sugar and artificial food.
The pyramid is surrounded with the primary food circle, the parts of life that
satisfy our hunger for living and create a balanced life.
Mission
Integrative Nutrition’s mission is to play a crucial role in improving
health and happiness in America, and through that process, create a ripple
effect that transforms the world.
