Holistic nutrition is an approach to nutrition that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. Holistic nutritionists take a comprehensive approach to nutrition that considers not just the specific nutrients in food, but also the individual’s lifestyle, emotional state, and spiritual beliefs.

At the core of holistic nutrition is the belief that food is medicine. By eating whole, nutrient-dense foods, individuals can support their overall health and well-being. Holistic nutritionists work with clients to develop personalized nutrition plans that address specific health concerns and support overall wellness.

In addition to food, holistic nutritionists also consider lifestyle factors that impact health and well-being. This may include stress management techniques, exercise recommendations, and guidance on healthy sleep habits. By taking a comprehensive approach that considers the whole person, holistic nutritionists can help individuals achieve optimal health and well-being.

One of the key benefits of holistic nutrition is that it can be effective in preventing and treating a wide range of health conditions. By focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods and addressing underlying imbalances in the body, individuals can support their body’s natural healing processes and achieve long-term improvements in their health.

In conclusion, holistic nutrition is a comprehensive approach to nutrition that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. By focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods and addressing lifestyle factors that impact health and well-being, holistic nutritionists can help individuals achieve optimal health and well-being. Whether you’re dealing with a specific health concern or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, holistic nutrition offers an effective and empowering approach to nutrition and wellness.

Formal Consultation and Blueprint

You’re super serious about your health goals and are eager to see results soon! Perfect!
A formal consultation is the first step in this process.

If you sign up for a formal consultation, you will receive a detailed questionnaire to fill out which I use to create a customised nutrition plan or formalised blueprint for you to follow.

I analyse your answers and the metrics you’ve recorded to define goals, calories, energy balance, macronutrients, deficits and surplus. I look at micro level detailing of your eating habits and patterns and suggest foods to add or delete based on your preferences, via a formalised blueprint.

The Blueprint will also include suggestions for eating frequency, windows and patterns. It will suggest pre and post workout nutrition options and recommend supplementation based on any deficits that show up in your questionnaire. Styles and frequency of training are also recommended.

The goal is to create a sustainable short and long term strategy to ensure you’re always in optimal health.

After creating the blueprint, a consultation call is arranged during which we go through the blueprint together. I explain macros and the role of hormones in overall health and take care of any comments, concerns or questions you may have. Once we’re aligned on the route forward, the Blueprint is sent to you.

This Blueprint will serve as the guide through your transformation journey.
