Registered Holistic Nutritionist™.
I want to help you eat good food and take back your digestive health so that you have more energy and joy in your life.
It is time that you learn how your digestive health is connected to how you feel and that stress and your food choices are a root cause to your fatigue and indigestion.
I believe you can transform your health without strict diets and deprivation so you are not always tired and suffering from digestive discomfort due to stress and lack of proper nutrition support. I know you feel like you have lost yourself in your midlife years. It's time to focus on you now.
You know where you want to be. You see yourself in a better place.
You see yourself taking your walks with ease, feeling energized and joyful.
You are eating the foods you love and want to age well. You want to feel good in your body and in your clothes.
There are small doable steps you can take to get to where you want to go.
Where I Was Before
I use to be that woman who felt exhausted all the time and had a lot of digestive problems with grains and could not get to the root of the problem. It seemed that after my 40's my body started to change and I could not eat just anything I wanted.
I blamed all the foods that were hurting me including the gluten. I was the woman who tried all the supplements at random and detox formulas without knowing in what order to do them safely or that there was another more gentle way.
In the end I felt worse and more defeated. It took me a while to find the right practitioner to guide me and then I decided to go to school and learn it for myself.
It's not the food's fault but I thought it was.
I used to think it could only get worse until I learned to connect the dots and solve my own health problems. I would like you to feel empowered to do the same.
One common saying that I have used is, “I feel like someone has taken the wind out of my sails.“ or “I feel like the plug has been pulled out on me.”. In other words, I am totally exhausted!
I connected my lack of motivation and energy to poor dietary choices. I learned that some foods made me extremely tired, especially when I ate too much of it. One of those foods was wheat pasta which is a common dish in my Italian family. Was I shocked to learn that! I changed my food choices and added some supplementation and super foods to my diet.
Gradually, I began to see a difference. I can eat bread now! Mostly, soudough bread and sprouted organic bread. That is a major accomplishment.
I went to the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition to learn more for my own health journey and to receive the credentials to educate others.
Let me know in the comments what having more energy in your midlife years look like to you?
WHAT I AM DOING NOW
When I am not learning about nutrition, geeking out on Pinterest or Instagram marketing strategies, I am a caregiver for my adult son who is on the spectrum and making food in the kitchen for my grown up family. Yes, I am the only cook here lol!
I can usually be found taking a walk around my neighborhood, singing my favorite songs, watching a good movie, cooking in the kitchen, reading a book or studying the Bible. Yes, I am a believer in the risen son of God, Jesus of Nazareth.
I grew up in Nova Scotia but moved to Ontario in 1988. I am the mother of 2 men and caregiver to one of them. Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet. I hope to provide you with as much value and support as I can.
I am not currently taking on clients but I do provide products and educational content that I think will help you feel better when put into action. Isn't that what we all want?
