Nutrition Coaching and Healthy Eating

Eating healthy and nutritious foods are one of the many important things that you can do for your body. Following habits such as not eating breakfast, eating fast food and not knowing what we're eating can not only have an negative effect on our internal systems but over time can hurt us even when we are not aware. As your health coach I will provide accountability and support through counseling nutrition and healthy eating habits as well as helping you create a personalized goal based on how you would like to improve your nutrition. Examples of topics we could cover during our time together could be:

the importance of macronutrients: these include carbohydrates, proteins and fats which provide energy and are essential for all of our body's functions.

the importance of micronutrients: these are vitamins and minerals that support our various physiological functions which are crucial for maintaining our health and preventing deficiencies.

Dietary Patterns: There is a dietary pattern for everyone. Our food choices affect all of our systems. Patterns such as the Mediterranean diet, the DA.S.H diet, MIND diet, vegetarian diet and MYPLATE are all types of dietary patterns that support our healthy eating.

Food Groups: the exploration of food groups such as fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy that important for our overall diet.

Special Dietary Patterns: If you are diabetic, hypertensive, have hyperlipidemic or hyperglycemic we can tailor a nutrition goal to better improve your eating habits to improve your overall health.

Prior to scheduling an appointment on this topic I suggest scheduling a free consultation with me. This helps us to learn a little bit more about each other, what your current habits are and your medical history. Please bring anything that is relevant to what you are looking to improve.
