I am now three weekends away from receiving my certificate in Health Counseling at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and I must say that its been an amazing and empowering experience. I have been introduced to numerous dietary theories covering almost every type of food that there is out there. Most of IIN’s lectures are given by an assortment of the world’s most prominent authorities on wellness, nutrition and counseling. I have come to expect that every day I walk out of class I will want to try yet another new way of eating. One day its whole grains and kale, another its Raw Food and yet another it is all about Superfoods in my Smoothie. After this past weekend I can say for sure that I might never want to touch a piece of Red Meat again. Alot of talk about the cattle industry and a great lecture by Howard Lyman, fourth-generation family farmer in Montana, former president of Earth Save, and the activist that turned Oprah Winfrey against hamburgers. That being said, I am home now and what really resonates loud and clear is that NO ONE DIET WORKS FOR EVERYONE including myself. We are introduced to all the various theories and lecturers for this very reason. There are so many ways of eating and what works for one may not work for another. It is the schools goal to teach us this and its my goal to pass this information along to you.
As your Health Coach, I want to create a Happy, Healthy life that works for you. I want to discover the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I want to improve your eating habits, explore new foods with you, understand and help you to reduce your cravings and most of all I want you to feel better in your body. The changes can be gradual, the benefits plentiful! The results AMAZING!
