Since taking the course, I am more mindful of situations and am seeing more positivity daily. I had many realizations, especially how much I was in a sympathetic state, especially at work, and how it was affecting my daily attitude and feelings towards meals as well. This course has definitely opened my eyes towards mindfulness and the importance of it.

My Story

AS A HEALTH COACH, I TAKE PRIDE IN FUELING MY BODY WITH REAL, WHOLE FOODS. I HAVE GOTTEN GOOD AT LISTENING TO MY BODY OVER THE YEARS, PROVIDING IT WITH THE NUTRIENTS IT NEEDS WHILE SATISFYING MY CRAVINGS TO MAINTAIN BALANCE AND AVOID DEPRIVATION. I ENJOY EATING, AND I REALLY LOVE FOOD.

BUT I WASN’T ALWAYS THIS WAY. TOWARDS THE END OF HIGH SCHOOL AND INTO COLLEGE, I WAS CONSUMED WITH COUNTING CALORIES AND EXERCISING EVERY DAY. QUITE FRANKLY, IT WAS NOT ONLY ABOUT STAYING THIN, BUT ALSO ABOUT STAYING IN CONTROL. FOOD WAS SOMETHING TO BE FEARED FOR THE CHANCE IT WAS GOING TO MAKE ME FAT, AND IT WAS MY BIGGEST ENEMY AND LARGEST SOURCE OF ANXIETY.
 
THANKFULLY, IN MY MID- TO LATE 20S, AS I IMMERSED MYSELF IN THE STUDY OF NUTRITION, I STARTED TO MAKE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN WHAT I ATE AND HOW I FELT. I HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF EATING IN THIS WAY, AND IT COMPLETELY REVAMPED MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD. I DECIDED TO RELEASE ALL THE FOOD RULES, AFTER WHICH I QUICKLY REALIZED HAD BEEN MAKING ME MISERABLE. TAKING ON A MORE INTUITIVE APPROACH, WHILE VIEWING FOOD (AND MYSELF) FROM A MORE POSITIVE PLACE HAS CHANGED THE WAY I EAT. IT WAS THEN FROM THIS PLACE, THAT I DEVELOPED MY MANTRA: COUNT COLORS, NOT CALORIES

 

Our body is not a calculator, but more of a chemistry lab.

Food is information for our cells, so should be thought of in terms of nutrients, not calories. Whenever I’m building a meal, I make a point to try and incorporate as much nutrition as I can. In other words, I count colors. As you start to eat closer to nature, you will notice the beautiful collage of colors with each fruit, vegetable and source of healthy fat serving its unique nutritional purpose.

This shift helps shape a new perspective: one from lack and scarcity (the restriction that goes along with dieting and calorie counting), to that of abundance and beauty. 

There is nothing more liberating than breaking free from the dieting mindset, which is why I developed this 4-week course to share what I’ve learned. While we will be focusing on eating more real, this is neither a cleanse nor a “plan” from which you can fall off. It’s an embrace of a whole new way of thinking about health, yourself, and your day-to-day in general. How we eat so often parallels with issues and anxieties we experience in other aspects of life; this is where the holistic piece comes in to play. You’ll get real with your food while getting real with yourself. As you learn to release the noise and chatter in your mind that might be standing in the way of both your ideal health and most authentic self.
