The Place to Restore And Manange Your Health-Wellness

Tips on Making Healthy Lifestyle Changes That Last

May 1, 2020 · In: Healthy Eating, Soulful Healthy Living, Stewardship

lifestyle changes

Deep down, you know that you need to change your lifestyle habits, but hiking barefoot in the dead of winter seems easier than taking the next step toward change. I am here to help you cultivate sustainable and soulful lifestyle changes in your health and wellness that last.

Unless faced with a health crisis or problematic symptoms, most of us see little need for lifestyle changes. Sometimes it’s the sobering lab result that moves us to change.

change in your health

The myth of the magic pill or plan

Beyond dispute, the health and wellness industry bombards us with products that promise an easy fix. The myth of a magic pill or magic drink tempts us to ignore the need for a long-term lifestyle change.

At every turn, advertisers relentlessly market products that supposedly defy science by blocking the “bad stuff” in processed foods.

We can’t rely on a product to break our bad habits or repair damage from poor choices. Rather than pursue instant gratification, we ought to view healthy living like running a long race.

Put off until there is a problem.

When it comes to health and wellness, maybe you practice the reactive approach. You won’t worry about your diet or exercise unless there is a problem. And then, if there is a problem, you will want to fix what is wrong with a prescription.

Until my diagnosis with acute Lyme Disease, I assumed that I fostered a decent health and wellness plan. After the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, I soon realized that what little I did for my health and wellness saved me from immediate hospitalization.

The disease ravaged my body, but not as viciously as it could have. I was able to repair the damage to my body by building from a stable reserve.

It took years to recover from Lyme Disease fully, and during that time, I had to develop an even more robust lifestyle of healthy living.

God doesn’t care about what you eat.

If our lifestyle habits and food choices prevent us from serving God and others from a place of spiritual and physical wholeness, then we need to think about a plan for change.

Seek to honor God with all of your choices. Undeniably, since we are creatures that eat, food plays a significant role in our daily living.

Josh Philpot, pastor, and Type I Diabetic reminds us that:

Being made in God’s image means living in God-honoring ways. When I view my body as a “temple” (1 Cor. 6:19)

I’m motivated to a way of life that doesn’t get caught up in the latest dietary craze but takes seriously the image of God.

It’s time to make change a priority.

The writer G.K. Chesterton’s beloved fictional character Father Brown said, “It isn’t that they can’t see the solution. It is that they can’t see the problem.

Even at the threshold of a chronic illness, we still may be reluctant to break away from our old ways.

Lifestyle impacts health.” Nearly half of all Americans suffer from at least one chronic disease. Obesity affects approximately 93.3 million Americans.” These statistics tell us that many people faced a health crisis before the global pandemic.

And maybe you suffer from one of these chronic illnesses or conditions. There is no judgment. There is a willingness to offer help to take small steps toward making change a priority.

View health and wellness as a soulful practice

The Christian life is about doing all things to the glory of God, but do we exclude what we eat and drink or our health in that statement?

We willingly share our struggles with money, marriage, and parenting. But discussions about our eating habits and food choices are often off-limits.

How we treat our bodies is as important as how we treat our spiritual growth.

You can incorporate health as part of your daily rhythms, no different than Bible reading or prayer. Schedule it, plan for it.

A soulful health and wellness practice is a repeated, embodied activity routinely enact and motivated by a desire to glorify God.

Tell others about your change.

Once you choose to make health and wellness a priority, then tell your family and friends. Without hesitating, join a community of people who understand your desire and support your decision for change.

Set Goals for lifestyle changes

One way to make change a priority is to set realistic goals or SMART goals. My Healthy Eating Starter Kit provides templates to design weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual goals.

Create a plan for your lifestyle changes in 4 areas

Progress in your health and wellness will be a journey forward and upward with obstacles along the way. At times it will seem like you are bushwacking a trail.

You are forging a new path that will take you two steps forward then back a few steps. The most important thing to remember is to move forward in navigating your journey of change.

Eating Plan

My 7-Day Healthy Eating Challenge offers a simple framework to kickstart a lifestyle change. The challenge prompts you to set a start date, which will prevent you from procrastinating about taking the next step.

lifestyle changes

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. A healthy eating plan includes food grown in nature, mostly plants. Avoid processed and refined foods.

It’s that simple.

Knowing that there is not a one-size-fits-all meal plan gives you the freedom to enjoy a buffet of real foods that nurture and sustain your body.

Exercise/Movement Plan

Exercise is a planned, structured, and repetitive movement intended to improve fitness.

Walking is a great way to get physical activity, boost your mood, and manage stress. You can walk a tree-lined street in your neighborhood, visit a park, or green space.

change in health

Less structured, movement includes basic physical activity that provides health benefits as well.

Daily physical activities like yardwork/gardening, walking the dog, parking further away from the entrance to a store, or taking the steps instead of the escalator, contribute to physical wellness.

Sleep and rest

Sleep helps fight infections, supports the metabolism of sugar to prevent diabetes, and enhances performance in daily activities.

Rest is of particular concern if you are battling or managing a chronic disease.

lifestyle changes

Sleep health, like nutrition and physical activity, is a critical determinant of health and well-being.

  • establish a bedtime routine
  • get to bed early
  • avoid electronics an hour before bed
  • darken the room
  • diffuse essential oils that induce relaxation and sleep

Stress Management

Stress is the thief that abducts our joy. It pillages our physical and mental energy, which compromises our emotional wellness.

unhelpful approaches to eating

Set goals that help you to manage stress. In the article Reduce Stress With these Natural and Soulful Ways. Add some of these ideas to your health and wellness plan and then set goals for this area.

Redesigning the flow of your day depends on the stage of life you are in right now. If you are a mom with a houseful of busy, curious toddlers, consider doing what Brother Lawrence did and practice the presence of God. He turned even the most menial and mundane tasks into a “living hymn to the glory of God.”

Are you over-scheduled? Pinpoint the problematic areas and decide if you can reschedule, eliminate, or delegate.

Create a blueprint for your healthy lifestyle changes

In the beginning, it’s best to focus your time and energy in performing your eating plan, developing an exercise schedule, devise a bedtime routine, and combat stress. These incremental steps will form a gradual change that lasts.

Why we are afraid of that first step… The fear Why we are afraid of that first step…

The fear of falling or failing.

Social media makes it easy well paralyzed us from making changes.

If you just hang out in the social media periphery as a perpetual follower of health-wellness accounts just watching and never changing your lifestyle, then you are scrolling.

Anytime we take a bold step or make an inaugural voyage fear looms large.

We watch our babies take their first step, knowing that they will tumble.

With a mixture of joy and trepidation, we witness our teens and young adults taking maiden voyages or etching out a journey.

It’s taking that first step and moving past the “what if I fall , fail, or relapse?”

So we continue perpetuating our problematic health habits until we face a health crisis.

Everyone falls, fails, and relapses. It is part of figuring it out. It’s okay. No one gets it down right away. Mastery takes time and requires change.

Rather than avoid change, invest in change. 

We willingly take risks and invest in our financial life and so many other areas of our lives, but we tend to skip over our health.

What holds you back from taking your first step?❤️
Don’t declare a cheat day, Especially if you ar Don’t declare a cheat day,

Especially if you are combating a health crisis!

Instead decide to exchange the celebratory foods that, in truth, don’t support your health or your health goals for foods that nourish your body and are festive as well.

If you declared a cheat day for every holiday, you could cheat multiple times per month per year.

Think about it. The word “cheating” implies something forbidden or sinister.

Why is it okay for us to “cheat” with food yet in other areas of our lives cheating would be prohibited?

The foods you eat should never be considered part of a sinister or underhanded behavior or choice.

After all, a generous God created perfect foods that nurture and nourish your body.

So why the need to “cheat?”

Especially if your health depends on maintaining and managing a specific eating life.

You can keep using these reasons NOT to change you You can keep using these reasons NOT to change your negative health habits, but

your God-designed body deserves better.  If you continue with making excuses for not taking care of your body then chronic disease will continue to challenge and deteriorate your health {tough ❤️}.

Your body will continue to break down unless you do something to change.

So it’s up to you to change your lifestyle, which you are totally capable of doing even if it takes some coaching.

Finding out why you are reluctant or afraid to change will help you with your next step.

These questions will help you look inward:

What will happen if you don’t make changes?

Who will your poor health affect?

Do you have the confidence to change your lifestyle?

Does your health prevent you from engaging in activities?

What is holding you back from changing?

You can’t rely on your doctor/PA/NP or practitioner to manage your health.

The first step is to maintain a log of every supplement/vitamin or pharmaceutical you take. Record dosage, conditions (with or without food) and suggested time you take them. 

The second step, keep a symptom log. Write down any physical or emotional symptom that you experience, how often it occurs (acute or chronic), and pain/ discomfort level (0-10 scale).

Finally, as often as possible, keep a health journal to record moods, sleep, food, stress, goals, exercise, etc. 

Doing this helps you do the detective work by determining whether maybe mood is affected by hormones, lack of sleep, or weather, headaches are because of dehydration or sleep deprivation, etc.

To get these resources, you can enroll in 1:1 coaching  and we can work together to make the changes you need in your health and wellness.

If you have a chronic disease you can’t eliminat If you have a chronic disease you can’t eliminate your participation and responsibility in making  lifestyle changes.

No one volunteers for chronic disease or a health crisis 🙋‍♀️🙋

I didn’t excitedly wait in line to be bit by a tick and contract a horrific disease.🤒😷

When I received my diagnosis of chronic Lyme, I had two choices:
1. Make significant lifestyle changes that would restore my health
2. Watch my health drastically decline

So I changed my eating life (like crazy), rested, followed a carefully crafted supplement protocol, and detoxed (something I never did prior to my diagnosis).

Facing a health crisis means that you will need to ask lots of questions, advocate for yourself, and do research.

If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, anxiety, Hashimoto’s, or any other chronic disease, chances are that lifestyle changes are inevitable.

Do you need to alter or consider your :
➡️ eating life
➡️stress
➡️ sleep routine
➡️ protocol
➡️ body therapies (massage, chiropractic, acupuncture)

Or other areas of your health and wellness?

Take the time evaluate your health to decide on your next step.

You have a responsibility to manage your chronic d You have a responsibility to manage your chronic disease or health with lifestyle changes.

Western medicine  enables you by handing out prescriptions rather than insisting on lifestyle changes.

Regardless of which chronic disease you manifest, you are responsible for making essential behavioral changes:

➡️ The food you eat/food habits/food choices

➡️ The exercise you do or not do

➡️ How you manage stress or ignore stress 

➡️ How much sleep you get or not get

➡️ Who you get to support you

➡️ The time you devote to your spiritual life

➡️ How you manage your supplement protocol or believe that supplements erase and compensate for poor food choices.

➡️ How you manage gut health 

Your daily choices, habits, and practices affect your physical, mental, and spiritual outcome.

Just like any other disease, you can readily participate in your recovery or demise,

It has a way of sneaking in and creating a staycation in our bodies.

Then we begin to grow accustomed to its presence.

And treat it like it’s a normal part of our life.

In time, stress silently erodes your health.

If you are combating chronic, stress management is an essential part of your healing protocol.

Stress affects sleep, causes chronic pain, increases blood pressure, causes gastrointestinal difficulties, evokes depression, other body systems.

You are fighting two battles. The first battle i You are fighting two battles.
 
The first battle is with yourself.

And how to conquer the problematic health habit demons that haunt you.

The second battle lies within the healthcare system. 

They typically prescribe rather than heal. 

They satisfy a craving rather than nourish your body.

It’s really how they’ve been educated so to blame them is futile.

Instead of blaming, let’s deconstruct and then rebuild.

Start rebuilding with real food and natural ways to heal the body (avoiding copious amounts of prescribed medications etc.)

Instead, try lifestyle changes which no lie…are much, much, much more difficult than swallowing a 💊 for the next four decades (plus the side effects from long-term pharmaceuticals).

But the benefits of lifestyle changes are mind blowing!

Lifestyle changes are far reaching. They benefit your mind/body/spirit ✝️

Here are 3 simple ways to take your first step toward lifestyle change:

🛒 start with your eating life (download my FREE anti-inflammatory eating plan)

👩‍⚕️work with a health coach to create a health-wellness plan that meets your needs (schedule a FREE consultation)

👯‍♀️ find friends or a community that encourages and supports your lifestyle change (sign up for my community newsletter)

Pick one and start today!

All the best,
Denise

Lifestyle change isn’t easy. Chronic diseases ar Lifestyle change isn’t easy. Chronic diseases are responsible for 7 out of 10 deaths in the United States each year.

You may have the best intentions to get healthier, but your efforts continue to stall then fail.

What we have to reconcile is that our lifestyle habits and choices eventually impact the people we love and cherish.❤️

The reality: it’s not about eating and living the way that pleases YOU.

To manage your chronic disease and make sustainable healthy lifestyle changes, you realize that you need help.

Here are core elements to lifestyle change that will restore your health:

1. Realistic Health-Wellness Goals
2. Understand what triggers your behavior, habits, and choices
3. Determine your options and build a protocol
4. Create an action plan
5. Determine how you will maintain your healthy lifestyle

Achieve change that lasts! 

What is getting in your way and preventing you from making essential lifestyle changes?

I needed to make essential changes in my health-wellness so that I could restore my health.

A simple, clean granola recipe that a 3rd grader c A simple, clean granola recipe that a 3rd grader can make.

There’s no need to shell out a hefty some for store-bought granola when you can make it at home.

Most industrially made granola contains unnecessary amounts of refined sugar.

Here’s a tiny reminder that eating plans high in refined carbs and sugar contribute to chronic conditions.

Fancy up your granola with nuts, seeds and unsulfured, minimally sweetened dried fruit.

Store in a glass jar with a lid.

Using sprouted oats adds a layer of health to the grain. It also boosts gut health.

I get it. On the outset, a quick fix seems easier I get it. On the outset, a quick fix seems easier then making a lifestyle change.

In the end though, lifestyle change is the wisest, sustainable choice.

Healthcare providers have 15 minutes to diagnose and offer a solution, which too often includes a pill.

I am certain they would love to have the time to work 1:1 with patients in crafting a health-wellness blueprint for lifestyle change.

That’s not the reality of our current healthcare system.

Most of the time my clients with chronic disease have to make essential changes with their eating life. 

Soon though, they begin to see the value of making that change.

What was broken in the body begins to fix itself.

Your first step in restoring your health is to manage your eating life.

I can help you reform problematic eating habits with techniques that are sustainable.

Enroll in my coaching program to address chronic disease by making lifestyle changes.

Here's my go-to flu-virus protocol. You know what Here's my go-to flu-virus protocol. You know what my favorite part of the protocol is?

INTENTIONAL REST AND SLEEP

5 days before Christmas and I am combating fever, body & headaches, and crushing fatigue. 

Early Wednesday morning, I felt the aches descend and dominate my body. The fever showed up with a vengeance. It's the crushing fatigue that weighs my body down that forces me to acquiesce and SLEEP.

We had to postpone a party with dear friends, cancel  Christmas dinner, and just let go of the minute details that typically keep me buzzing around.

I am being kind to my body and letting it heal on its own terms. Not mine.

This is a new practice for me. Ever since Lyme ravaged my body, I learned to be kinder to my body and not hurry healing.

Here's my protocol that helps restore my body back to wellness:

🥱 Rest and sleep

🌿 Homeopathic flu remedy, Genexa ibuprofen ( I take only if necessary. I rarely take ibuprofen but if the headache teeters on migraine level...I am slowing two of these gf, dye-free, titanium dioxide-free, paraben-free and more)

🥤Dairy-free/sugar-free anti-inflammatory smoothie with frozen pineapple for added bromelain.

💧🥥 Coconut water

It's been rainy and cozy these past few days. As I convalesce,  I love listening to the conversations of my family. 

Was this possible the most inconvenient time of year to land in bed or on the couch for 5 days? Indeed!

But it's been a time of slowing down.

Real change takes time. So how much time? It depe Real change takes time. So how much time?

It depends on your readiness for change and the changes you want/need to make.

The amount of time it takes to see results looks differently for everyone. I took me 1 year to restore my health from Lyme yet it may take others a lot longer or even less time.

Always the essential first step is to examine your relationship with food. 

Are you an emotional/ stress eater? Are stuck in negative food habits?

Getting those habits under control will propel you in forward momentum toward a healthier YOU.

Our bodies are inextricably connected: mind/body/spiritual, as God intended. If one area weakens it has an effect on the other two.

And you are you. And that's something to celebrate not compare.

Why we are afraid of that first step… The fear Why we are afraid of that first step…

The fear of falling or failing.

Social media makes it easy well paralyzed us from making changes.

If you just hang out in the social media periphery as a perpetual follower of health-wellness accounts just watching and never changing your lifestyle, then you are scrolling.

Anytime we take a bold step or make an inaugural voyage fear looms large.

We watch our babies take their first step, knowing that they will tumble.

With a mixture of joy and trepidation, we witness our teens and young adults taking maiden voyages or etching out a journey.

It’s taking that first step and moving past the “what if I fall , fail, or relapse?”

So we continue perpetuating our problematic health habits until we face a health crisis.

Everyone falls, fails, and relapses. It is part of figuring it out. It’s okay. No one gets it down right away. Mastery takes time and requires change.

Rather than avoid change, invest in change. 

We willingly take risks and invest in our financial life and so many other areas of our lives, but we tend to skip over our health.

What holds you back from taking your first step?❤️
Don’t declare a cheat day, Especially if you ar Don’t declare a cheat day,

Especially if you are combating a health crisis!

Instead decide to exchange the celebratory foods that, in truth, don’t support your health or your health goals for foods that nourish your body and are festive as well.

If you declared a cheat day for every holiday, you could cheat multiple times per month per year.

Think about it. The word “cheating” implies something forbidden or sinister.

Why is it okay for us to “cheat” with food yet in other areas of our lives cheating would be prohibited?

The foods you eat should never be considered part of a sinister or underhanded behavior or choice.

After all, a generous God created perfect foods that nurture and nourish your body.

So why the need to “cheat?”

Especially if your health depends on maintaining and managing a specific eating life.

Download my free Valentine’s Day Recipe Collection and never worry about “cheating” on Valentine’s Day.

You can keep using these reasons NOT to change you You can keep using these reasons NOT to change your negative health habits, but

your God-designed body deserves better.  If you continue with making excuses for not taking care of your body then chronic disease will continue to challenge and deteriorate your health {tough ❤️}.

Your body will continue to break down unless you do something to change.

So it’s up to you to change your lifestyle, which you are totally capable of doing even if it takes some coaching.

Finding out why you are reluctant or afraid to change will help you with your next step.

These questions will help you look inward:

What will happen if you don’t make changes?

Who will your poor health affect?

Do you have the confidence to change your lifestyle?

Does your health prevent you from engaging in activities?

What is holding you back from changing?

Share you reflections in the comments😌

3 ways to become the expert of your body and manag 3 ways to become the expert of your body and manage your health!

You can’t rely on your doctor/PA/NP or practitioner to manage your health.

The first step is to maintain a log of every supplement/vitamin or pharmaceutical you take. Record dosage, conditions (with or without food) and suggested time you take them. 

The second step, keep a symptom log. Write down any physical or emotional symptom that you experience, how often it occurs (acute or chronic), and pain/ discomfort level (0-10 scale).

Finally, as often as possible, keep a health journal to record moods, sleep, food, stress, goals, exercise, etc. 

Doing this helps you do the detective work by determining whether maybe mood is affected by hormones, lack of sleep, or weather, headaches are because of dehydration or sleep deprivation, etc.

To get these resources, you can enroll in 1:1 coaching  and we can work together to make the changes you need in your health and wellness.

If you have a chronic disease you can’t eliminat If you have a chronic disease you can’t eliminate your participation and responsibility in making  lifestyle changes.

No one volunteers for chronic disease or a health crisis 🙋‍♀️🙋

I didn’t excitedly wait in line to be bit by a tick and contract a horrific disease.🤒😷

When I received my diagnosis of chronic Lyme, I had two choices:
1. Make significant lifestyle changes that would restore my health
2. Watch my health drastically decline

So I changed my eating life (like crazy), rested, followed a carefully crafted supplement protocol, and detoxed (something I never did prior to my diagnosis).

Facing a health crisis means that you will need to ask lots of questions, advocate for yourself, and do research.

If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, anxiety, Hashimoto’s, or any other chronic disease, chances are that lifestyle changes are inevitable.

Do you need to alter or consider your :
➡️ eating life
➡️stress
➡️ sleep routine
➡️ protocol
➡️ body therapies (massage, chiropractic, acupuncture)

Or other areas of your health and wellness?

Take the time evaluate your health to decide on your next step.

You have a responsibility to manage your chronic d You have a responsibility to manage your chronic disease or health with lifestyle changes.

Western medicine  enables you by handing out prescriptions rather than insisting on lifestyle changes.

Regardless of which chronic disease you manifest, you are responsible for making essential behavioral changes:

➡️ The food you eat/food habits/food choices

➡️ The exercise you do or not do

➡️ How you manage stress or ignore stress 

➡️ How much sleep you get or not get

➡️ Who you get to support you

➡️ The time you devote to your spiritual life

➡️ How you manage your supplement protocol or believe that supplements erase and compensate for poor food choices.

➡️ How you manage gut health 

Your daily choices, habits, and practices affect your physical, mental, and spiritual outcome.

Just like any other disease, you can readily participate in your recovery or demise,

Don’t make the mistake of ignoring stress. It h Don’t make the mistake of ignoring stress.

It has a way of sneaking in and creating a staycation in our bodies.

Then we begin to grow accustomed to its presence.

And treat it like it’s a normal part of our life.

In time, stress silently erodes your health.

If you are combating chronic, stress management is an essential part of your healing protocol.

Stress affects sleep, causes chronic pain, increases blood pressure, causes gastrointestinal difficulties, evokes depression, other body systems.

Learn to cultivate stress management practices and chalk the chaos.

You are fighting two battles. The first battle i You are fighting two battles.
 
The first battle is with yourself.

And how to conquer the problematic health habit demons that haunt you.

The second battle lies within the healthcare system. 

They typically prescribe rather than heal. 

They satisfy a craving rather than nourish your body.

It’s really how they’ve been educated so to blame them is futile.

Instead of blaming, let’s deconstruct and then rebuild.

Start rebuilding with real food and natural ways to heal the body (avoiding copious amounts of prescribed medications etc.)

Instead, try lifestyle changes which no lie…are much, much, much more difficult than swallowing a 💊 for the next four decades (plus the side effects from long-term pharmaceuticals).

But the benefits of lifestyle changes are mind blowing!

Lifestyle changes are far reaching. They benefit your mind/body/spirit ✝️

Here are 3 simple ways to take your first step toward lifestyle change:

🛒 start with your eating life (download my FREE anti-inflammatory eating plan)

👩‍⚕️work with a health coach to create a health-wellness plan that meets your needs (schedule a FREE consultation)

👯‍♀️ find friends or a community that encourages and supports your lifestyle change (sign up for my community newsletter)

Pick one and start today!

All the best,
Denise

Lifestyle change isn’t easy. Chronic diseases ar Lifestyle change isn’t easy. Chronic diseases are responsible for 7 out of 10 deaths in the United States each year.

You may have the best intentions to get healthier, but your efforts continue to stall then fail.

What we have to reconcile is that our lifestyle habits and choices eventually impact the people we love and cherish.❤️

The reality: it’s not about eating and living the way that pleases YOU.

To manage your chronic disease and make sustainable healthy lifestyle changes, you realize that you need help.

Here are core elements to lifestyle change that will restore your health:

1. Realistic Health-Wellness Goals
2. Understand what triggers your behavior, habits, and choices
3. Determine your options and build a protocol
4. Create an action plan
5. Determine how you will maintain your healthy lifestyle

Achieve change that lasts! 

What is getting in your way and preventing you from making essential lifestyle changes?

There’s no need to shell out a hefty some for store-bought granola when you can make it at home.

Most industrially made granola contains unnecessary amounts of refined sugar.

Here’s a tiny reminder that eating plans high in refined carbs and sugar contribute to chronic conditions.

Fancy up your granola with nuts, seeds and unsulfured, minimally sweetened dried fruit.

Store in a glass jar with a lid.

Using sprouted oats adds a layer of health to the grain. It also boosts gut health.

I get it. On the outset, a quick fix seems easier I get it. On the outset, a quick fix seems easier then making a lifestyle change.

In the end though, lifestyle change is the wisest, sustainable choice.

Healthcare providers have 15 minutes to diagnose and offer a solution, which too often includes a pill.

I am certain they would love to have the time to work 1:1 with patients in crafting a health-wellness blueprint for lifestyle change.

That’s not the reality of our current healthcare system.

Most of the time my clients with chronic disease have to make essential changes with their eating life. 

Soon though, they begin to see the value of making that change.

What was broken in the body begins to fix itself.

Your first step in restoring your health is to manage your eating life.

I can help you reform problematic eating habits with techniques that are sustainable.
