Nutrition Northwest Co. partners with internet communities: HarvestEating.com, Wellness.com, HastyChef.com, LifeBalanceProgram.com and Qvisory.org, offering blog and article submission, similar to articles posted on my blog: www.NourishingNewsBlog.com . I offer recipe analysis and consulting as well as ingredient analysis, setting values and parameters for exchange values and nutrient exclusions (i.e. gluten, lactose, dairy, etc).
I also consult with large companies on how they can incorporate corporate wellness into their business model.
In 2010 I created an innovative online health and wellness program: www.HealthyChoicesWellnessPrograms.com
My philosophy of nutrition is built on simple yet profound concepts:
1)The best meal plan for you is the meal plan that you can follow healthfully for the rest of your life.
2)It's not just about food. I treat the whole body and focus on improving all lifestyle factors.
3)I will encourage you to set realistic goals and to implement change gradually. When done consistently these gradual changes will become second nature to you.
Though I have treated a wide variety of general health conditions, including, metabolic conditions: PCOS and diabetes, sports nutrition, menopause & eating disorders, I have worked quite extensively with:
1) Digestive Conditions: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Celiac.
2) Food Sensitivities: I turn, 'This is what you CAN'T eat,' into, 'These are all the things you CAN eat.'
3) Emotional Eating: The structure and ongoing support of my programs offer an ideal setting to finally let go of decades of emotional eating.
4) Weight Loss: I feel that weight loss is a side effect of eating healthier and leading a balanced life. Letting go of the of the all-or-nothing approach and instead focusing on sustainable change, helps my patients meet their health goals. The magic pill is consistency.
