What can I do as your health coach?

Welcome back!

As you navigate through your own healthy journey there are a few practices that I would like you to keep in mind. First, set an intention. To help you prepare for the journey ahead, please take a moment to clarify your personal goals around health and well-being. What are your main health concerns? What is it you wish to learn or accomplish along this journey? Devoting a small amount of time now to understand your optimal personal nutrition will result in a healthier, happier future later. Next, I’ll ask you to experiment. Some of my posts will discuss some of the major “diets” out there. But the food that is best for you is not going to be found in the pages of a nutrition book. No one diet is perfect for everyone. To best determine what is appropriate for your unique body and lifestyle, I will guide you through experimenting with new foods and learning to listen to your body’s responses. Next, I will simply ask that you take this process one day and one step at a time. I will help you unlearn old habits and absorb new information. Give yourself the permission to go slowly. Big changes do not require big leaps. As far as your body is concerned, permanent change is more likely to happen gradually rather than through severe, crazy diets. Proceed with care for yourself and have fun!
