Research

The vast majority of the public is really quite confused about the topic of nutrition which is unfortunate because proper nutrition can do more for our health than any combination of pills and medical procedures. This isn’t just in terms of preventing future problems but actually in terms of treating existing problems. Armed with the right information, this really is an extremely exciting reality. There are a multitude of factors at play that keeps the public confused about nutrition. The government is supposed to balance industry interests with consumer interests. The government’s role is to keep industry in check while it protects consumers. However, that often gets out of balance because the industry usually has way more power than consumers. There are many former top government officials working in industry and vice versa. Other tactics include co-opting scientific research, which simply means paying researchers to publish science in their favour, as well as various forms of philanthropy which has also been called “buying silence,” in which money is given to schools or non-profit organizations to not speak out. Of course, media influence is a key component here as well. Fad diets that cycle through popularity in the media, for example, are not only a waste of your time and money, but they can worsen the state of your health. My job is to help you sift through the confusion!

Integrity

Being a health practitioner comes with responsibility. You’re allowing me to be a part of your life and trusting my insight and guidance. I don’t take these privileges lightly and I pride myself in not only having exceptional professional skills, but a high quality of character. My goal is to equip you with the more effective health information and to help you put meaningful action behind my support. This means giving you the practical tools you need to live a healthier, happier and, ultimately, more fulfilling life. Is real and sustainable change hard work? Yes. But it is possible. I’ve seen real and impactful results with my own health and in the health of my clients.

Compassion

I’ve studied, trained, and built my practice so that I can offer you the best health information possible. I am here to celebrate your wins, help you process where improvement is possible, and revel in the joy of sharing in helping to improve your health, which is the most important thing you have. I have been through it all, and so I am in a unique position of being a practitioner that knows what it’s like to be chronically ill — I know what it’s like to suffer and be fully dependent on a broken system for answers. Between that, my formal education as well as my extensive personal research, I am properly equipped to help you understand what you are going though and guide you on a path to healing with compassion and true understanding. Getting to a place of really feeling well can take some time, especially for those individuals who have been sick for a long time, but it is possible. It’s important to show yourself love, compassion and kindness and to look for support and guidance because it isn’t necessary (or, quite frankly, possible) to do it all on your own.
