March is Nutrition Month!!
Optimize your Nutrition Intake & Lifestyle to optimize your Health!
Sometimes change is overwhelming which is why my practice emphasizes “One Step at a Time”, slow integration of healthy habits and foods so you will see results. Many of my clients say that the diets I recommend are not completely different than their present diets making it easier for them to make successful changes.
Join me:
- Make sure you are meeting your protein requirements,
- Add more ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid, a form of Omega 3) which will feed and encourage a healthier microbiome, your second brain,
- Add green leafy vegetables daily to your diet which may add an extra 11 years to your life,
- Along with colourful vegetables and fruits rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals supporting healthy gut microbes,
- Consume enough fibre, fluid and move sufficiently for regular bowel functions and better health,
- Consider chilling your carbs, making larger batches of grains and starchy vegetables, freezing or refrigerating as leftovers to increase resistive starch intake and reduce carbohydrate loads.
- Chew your food well, and add carminative herbs to help relieve gas and bloating,
- Meet your calcium and iron requirement with food
- In fact, meet all your vitamin, mineral, fibre and fluid requirements through diet, when possible.
If its unlikely that you can meet your nutritional requirements with food, will advise supplements when necessary.

Also looks at magnesium, zinc and Vit E, Vit A,B,C,D, folate, choline ,calcium, omega3/6, whole grains sodium, inflammatory markers, hunger regulation, ability to maintain weight loss, sleep duration, alcohol sensitivity, cholesterol sensitivity, fasting glucose and insulin levels, risk for low bone mass or Achilles tendon injury, risk for between meal snacking or sugar preference, ability to taste fat in foods, risk for glucose and lactose intolerance, etc.
Answers questions like am I more prone to lose weight/percent body fat on a high protein diet and more likely to increase LDL (bad) cholesterol when eating saturated fat.
The research strongly supports that clients who are educated about their genetic potential are more motivated to make actionable dietary changes, and maintain these changes for a longer period of time.
With this sale, if you ordered a 70 gene test & are a new client= $175 (DNA test) + $ 150 (Registered Dietitian analysis, ordering and support) (Ordering this as a follow up patient would reduce the Dietitian Cost cost to $90 (equal to a follow up meeting).
