healthy body, healthy mind
It’s a new year. Isn’t it about time you learn how to best fuel your body? No fads, diets, or one-size-fits all approaches. Eating right can be confusing and overwhelming. Higher protein? Higher fat? Keto? Paleo? Vegan? Even as a nutritionist I am overwhelmed by the newest food plans, diet crazes or books touting this or that diet plan that supposedly works (for everyone). We may have access to plenty of health information, but we still feel low energy, uncomfortable in our body or clothes and just knowing we could feel better.
Stop counting calories, restricting huge categories of food only to overindulge later and second-guessing every food decision you make.
In this 3 week live and online program, learn how to develop a whole food, nutrient dense diet that works for you and your body, at this phase of your life. Whether you are carnivore, vegetarian or vegan, get access to nutritionally balanced recipes created by a nutritionist. Learn how to eat for balanced blood sugar, sustained energy, balanced hunger and eating, while reducing unwanted digestive troubles.
Digestion 101
What is normal digestion and how do we know if we have it? What causes bloating, gas, diarrhea or acid reflux? What are some possible causes of tummy troubles and possible fixes or tests to run?
Before I became a nutritionist, I thought it was totally normal to have gas after eating certain foods. I thought I had good digestion because I pooped every day. It was only until I had an increasing number of food sensitivities and reactions did I see a nutritionist and see what I thought was function was actually dysfunction.
This course was developed for newbies to start to study what digestion actually is and how to identify good function and treat dysfunction. You will learn the basics of the N to S digestive process, what organs are involved in proper digestion and what nutrients feed those organs, common digestive symptoms and ailments, food and supplement interventions and lab testing available to dive deeper and treat.
balanced hormone nutrition
Suffering from PMS or period symptoms like bloating and fluid retention, moodiness and irritability, acne breakouts or heavy periods? Or perimenopausal or menopausal women experiencing weight gain, metabolic changes, muscle loss, brain fog, joint stiffness or irritability?
Regardless of whether you are a cycling female, missing your period in your reproductive years or are peri or menopausal, how you fuel your body plays a huge part in how you feel in your skin and look in your jeans.
In this course, learn how Functional Medicine and nutrition views hormone health. Our female hormone system is delicate and intermingled with other systems of the body, namely the adrenals, the thyroid and the blood sugar system. Learn how to eat for balanced hormones, common supplements for hormonal health, timed eating and the ins and outs of intermittent fasting for menstruating through menopausal women, and lifestyle and movement practices that support healthy hormone production and clearance.
