I was so excited to enroll in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a certified Health Coach.  To think that I will be able to help myself, my family and others to a healthier, happier life style was overwhelming.  I knew going into this program that I would not be able to give up all of the food I love, such as, chocolate, birthday cake, ice cream, more chocolate and a nice glass of wine.  Going through this journey I now know that I don't have to give up my "junk" foods. I have increased greens, grains and more whole food, but do sometime indulge in that "special" treat. It takes baby steps.  I do believe in a mostly whole food diet, and what I am working with now is 85% of the time, I am eating whole healthy foods and 15% of the time I do splurge.  I myself am working towards a 90/10 diet. My belief is to work with others in their lifestyle goals, whatever that should be: nutrition, personal fitness, weight loss, stress, career, whatever your goals, I am excited to help.  There is no diet that works for everyone.  I will be studying over 100 diet theories.  I am confident I will be able to help you in making positive lifestlye changes when you are ready.  It is never too late, we are the holders of our futures.  We have one life to live, be happy, heathy, be kind to yourself and others.  Seize the Day!
