Holistic Nutrition is an integrative and compassionate practice centred around reflective listening, understanding, and education as a means to empower you, leading you to your own intuition, strengths, intrinsic motivation, decision-making, and ability to thrive given the right circumstances. In addressing dis-ease, we focus on root-cause, suggesting personalized dietary, supplementation, and lifestyle changes that improve function of body systems and allow the body to repair itself.

Your health history, present lifestyle, and mental/physical symptoms all provide clues to underlying contributing factors, what nutrients may be abundant, which ones may be deficient, how well you’re absorbing your food, the integrity of your gut lining, hormonal health, and how your nervous system is handling stress. 

You are guided accordingly, in making simple shifts with profound changes to energy, mood, focus, and overall health and life experience. New lifestyle habits include optimizing circadian rhythm, sleep patterns, stress management, and vagal tone. Personalized supplementation protocols accelerate progress, improve absorption, and benefit all manner of mental and physical health.

Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, was among the first to say “all disease begins in the gut”. Many years later, new studies urge us to consider how the health of our gut and gut bacteria are fundamental to physical and mental health. Holistic nutrition functions on the premise that food, nutrients, and lifestyle have a profound impact on health and well being, and the entire body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. 

You are not just what you eat, you are what you absorb and digest. Personalized suggestions are made for simple meal alterations that increase absorption, nutrient density, eliminate or reduce inflammatory and allergenic foods, and balance blood sugar. Simple explanations of digestive processes inspire you to take these steps, empowering you take an active role in your health by harnessing the ability to make choices that suit your own unique needs.
