Nutrition Therapy
​
Nutrition therapy is not just someone telling you what to eat and what not to eat, like you may see on Instagram videos or read online. It's not as simple as "calories-in, calories-out" or burning more calories with more exercise either. It's about holistically treating the entire body, mind and emotions that are affecting your diet and lifestyle and/or causing your hormonal imbalances within your digestive system. Nutrition Therapy is suited for those who have yo-yo and fad dieted their way through the years, only to find themselves frustrated & confused, with a more sluggish metabolism and more belly fat than you originally started with before ever dieting.
​
Age, pregnancy, medications, depression & anxiety, hormones and feedback loop malfunctions due to previous dieting and several other factors, can all be huge players in why we can't lose weight or why we still feel awful when even trying to eat healthy and exercise.
​
Digestive issues, such as: loose stools, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating and IBS, etc., along with imbalanced digestive hormones, often accompany metabolic and weight management issues and can really slow down the process of losing weight and interfere with your ability to control your cravings. Acupuncture is a partner to nutrition therapy because it treats and resolves those digestive issues, helps regulate your digestive hormones and increase the motility in your gut.

I have worked with some amazing men & women to help create and meet their dietary and weight loss goals and have helped them through the myriad of hormonal phases and changes that naturally occur in life, but that can sabotage our bodies' ability to lose weight.
​
I will analyze your specific body constitution, metabolic road blocks and specific emotional triggers to help you identify what may be working silently to sabotage your current or prior attempts to get healthy and lose weight. We will establish your dietary substitutions, cut-outs and must-haves, and create a personalized plan that agrees with your time, schedule and realistic capabilities. If you're looking to lose weight and keep it off long-term, I will teach you the imperative foundations of nutrition and how to implement them into every meal/snack and every food choice that you will make, according to your specific blueprint and needs.
You will have someone to hold you accountable, support you, check-in with you every week and guide you through the challenges and plateaus that pop up during every weight-loss regime. This foundation of knowledge will help you go from "dieting" to adopting a new sustainable lifestyle and forever way of eating. With this specific nutrition therapy, paired with weekly tailored acupuncture treatments that work to balance your gut hormones, regulate your digestion and curb your cravings, you will receive a very unique, effective and relaxing way of helping you shed your unwanted weight.
