How It Works

Our Bodies

No one gets off scot-free.  Nearly every human being has some burden of some type.  More common issues or areas of concern include but are not limited to:

  • Hypertension – primarily Essential Hypertension

  • High Cholesterol

  • Digestion Issues – IBS, Celiac, Bloating, Crones 

  • Fatigue and/or Lack of Energy

  • Heart Health

  • Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes

  • Weight Issues

  • Cancer(s)

  • Excessive Inflammation

​​

Of course, not everyone who is looking for guidance is managing one of the listed diseases or issues, I’m happy to work with anyone, even those who simply want to improve their overall health.​

Our Minds

Over thinking, impulsive actions, negative self-talk, etc.  Again, we all struggle with misguided thoughts.  Some more than others.  More common issues include, but are not limited to:

  • Destructive self-talk

  • Poor behavior patterns 

  • Low self esteem

  • Locus of Control

  • Framing and Perspective

  • Doing and doing and doing for others and not enough for yourself

Our Hearts

Emotions are incredibly important to address in relation to our health journey.  Too often are they overlooked and underrated.  More common issues include, but are not limited to:

  • Misplaced anger

  • Feeding hurt feelings and anger

  • Shame and guilt – a dangerous duo

  • Trauma 

  • Family relations 

  • Depression and Anxiety

Some more common objectives are:

Shopping for health: Deciphering food labels, clueing into consumer junk food triggers, shopping for meal prep, shopping for healthy options to snacks, shopping for your favorite foods with a different outlook.  

 

Cooking for health: Applying healthy substitutions in recipes, identifying healthy AND desirable recipes, trying new foods, gluten free cooking, cancer fighting recipes, inflammation fighting recipes, low or no sugar recipes, dairy-free recipes, using cooking websites to cook healthier, shopping for ingredients that apply to multiple healthy recipes

 

Movement and Activity: Identifying the activity that fits best to what you enjoy and your lifestyle, tricks to getting in daily activity, identifying mental roadblocks, working with physical limitations, identifying, and tracking activity progress, identifying rewards that work, identifying body dynamics as they apply to various activities.  


 

Planning: There can be enough said about planning as the cornerstone to making healthy changes – even if those plans go sideways, it is still key to making progress.  In addition, planning is much easier said than done.  Primarily due to the amount of rearranging of both mental activities and real physical activities.  Mental activities include brain down time, pre-existing “this is how I operate” constructs – eg. I only exercise in the mornings.  Real or physical activities are set times for the day’s schedule – work hours, school hours, kid’s activities and lessons, etc.  Planning to make healthy changes takes the same commitment as every other action you take on a regular basis.  It doesn’t have to be major changes to start and the plan can be as simple as writing a grocery list based on two healthy meals and working from there.  Oftentimes a goal needs to be set with very, VERY clear objectives identified to achieve that goal.
