What is Optimum Nutrition?

Laura — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:15:53 PDT

Optimum nutrition is about having control over your health by nurturing your mind, body and spirit as a whole unit. Doing this enables your body to function properly on its own for a long and healthy life, as it should be. To reach optimum nutrition, it is important to learn your body’s own uniqueness and to listen to and understand your body’s messages and cues. Nurturing your body on a daily basis by eating nutrient-dense foods is essential for excellent health.

Eating wholesome foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains and meats from animals free of hormones and/or pesticides that are organic and locally grown will nourish your body with an abundance of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Locally farmed, grassfed meat, hormone-free dairy and free-roaming, pastured fowl and eggs are extremely beneficial for receiving the body’s protein needs and certain vitamins and nutrients that are only found among these foods.

In addition to a proper diet, it is important to nurture your mind and soul by learning new things, socializing, exercising, meditating and doing other activities that you enjoy and bring you happiness. Reducing stress in your life is vital for optimum health. Stress can be very damaging to the body as a whole in numerous ways. Exercise is an excellent way to reduce stress. Optimum nutrition is about living a long life free of pain and illness; being happy and healthy; being in a positive state of mind and just feeling good about yourself and the life that you lead.

Benefits of Eating Local Foods.

Laura — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:22:29 PDT

Eating local foods that are in season is extremely beneficial for optimum health. For one, local foods are very nutritionally dense, full of live enzymes, and taste delicious. When foods have to travel long distances to get to your local supermarket, they are sprayed with pesticides and herbicides to withstand the long trip. If the produce is from a different country, it could even be sprayed with chemicals that are banned from the United States because of the health risks involved with ingesting these chemicals. Furthermore, once a fruit or vegetable is picked, it slowly loses its vitality, nutritional value and enzymatic activity. At times, the fruits and vegetables are even picked early before they are able reach their peak nutritional value, which occurs towards the end of the growing process. This operation is done to eliminate the fruits and vegetables from spoiling during their long travels to get to your local grocery store. This results in fruits and vegetables that have very low nutritional value, which doesn’t do your body a whole lot of good. When produce is locally grown, there is much less time involved in getting it to your local grocery store or farmers market; therefore, it is full of life and healthy nutrients.

Eating foods out of season render much of the same drawbacks as eating foods that are not locally grown. Most likely, foods out of season are coming from different parts of the world where the climates are conducive for growing these foods. Therefore, these foods are sprayed with pesticides and herbicides to make it to your local grocery store in a “healthy” looking state. Another benefit to buying foods that are locally grown and in season is that you are supporting local farmers; in turn, this supports the local and global economy by conserving fossil fuels and cutting back on transportation costs. If more people invested in buying foods that are locally grown and in season, it would make the world a healthier and more environmentally conscious place to live.

The Art of Balancing the Mind, Body & Spirit.

Laura — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 20:39:48 PST

Are you done with all the gimmicks and false promises of easy weight loss and instant great health?

If you are passionate and determined to….

make more mindful food choices that are suited for your unique self.
feel and look more energized.
eliminate chronic food cravings.
take control over emotional eating.
lose weight…without deprivation or toxic guilt.
have a more healthful and meaningful life.
add peace and simplify your life.

Then you have come to the right place for gentle, compassionate, wise and experienced counseling.
As your personal certified holistic nutritional counselor, my practical applications will turn your challenges into viable successes!

As your Holistic Nutritional Counselor, I will address the three components:
BODY, MIND & SPIRIT

Focusing on one aspect and not all three, makes for a lopsided egg; one that wobbles when it is spun; wasting it’s energy to stabilize itself. Working consecutively on all three components of the human condition produces a steadily spinning egg; one that utilizes its energy efficiently and effortlessly.

Speaking of eggs, the quote “You are what you eat” is literally true. The foundation of your health and well-being is what you choose to eat on a daily basis. You are what you eat; cells, organs, bones, joints, tendons and all! As your holistic nutritional counselor, my job is to teach you what foods AND lifestyle choices are best suited FOR YOU to make a life full of health, love and joy.

When you enroll in my program you can you expect a facilitator whose understanding and compassion are equal to the professionalism and knowledge gained from my education, personal training and personal experiences, as well as the successes with previous clients.

I encourage a common sense, simple approach to a plan of eating and living that you will be able to incorporate into your personal and social life. During the initial 30 minute consultation ($30) we will review your concerns and goals, your current state of health and lifestyle, and decide together if we are a good match for one another for you to reach your fullest potential as the beautiful, intricate being that you are. I look forward to meeting with you and guiding you towards a bountiful life!

Your health is waiting; you having nothing to lose and everything to gain

To get started, email me requesting an assessment form (prior to our initial 30 minute phone consultation, $30), which will determine your needs and reasons for seeking out my services. From that point on, we will set up a time to speak for the initial consultation where we will go over your comments from the assessment form.

This form is not shared with anyone and is kept in the greatest security. Please note that there is no obligation to carry out our sessions together once you have had the initial consultation.
You must be ready and serious about embarking on a new and improved eating plan and lifestyle.

Change is not easy nor is it comfortable..but the results are beyond description!!
