Dietary PathwaysYour Path To Nutritional Health

About Me• I have been in the Culinary industry for 20 years. • Went from working at fast food restaurants to hotels, and fine dining• Attended Culinary school, Le Cordon Bleu in 2000• Was featured on local TV stations and in magazines. • In 2012 I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, which changed my life.• In 2012 I began to look at food in a different way. I then began to study to become a

Nutritionist and found out the relationship between food and the body was a factor often overlooked.

• AFPA Certified Nutritionist• Board Certified through the AADP (American Association of Drugless Practitioners)

What I do• Focus on helping clients heal through

nutrition and dietary changes. Many health conditions can be improved or managed through changes in diet and lifestyle.

• We work with you to find out what you like to eat, what conditions you are trying to treat or health goals you are trying to meet and help design a custom plan just for you. Finding a dietary plan you will stick with and see results from will help you to achieve your goals.

• We do not recommend unhealthy or drastic diets. Our programs are specifically focused on nutritional healing and in moderation. You can’t starve yourself or deny yourself everything you enjoy eating or you will not stick with a program. The exception is allergies or intolerance’s where you may need to cut out certain foods and find alternatives.

Consultations are 1 hour long typically. We go over all your information and set short

term goals. We create a plan of action based on your individual needs.

*1/2 off new client $35.00*1 hour existing client $70.00

*Phone consultations (existing Clients Only) $20.00 per 1/2 hour

The Approach• 7- Core Physiological Processes

• Elimination: Focuses on the digestive process• Detox: A focus on sensitivities• Defense: Focus on immune system

• Cell Communication: concentrates on any underlying inflammation, insulin resistance, poor

fitness etc.• Cell Transport: Looks at your blood cholesterol,

proteins and fats.• Energy: An in depth look at mental and physical

energy levels• Structure: Targets skeleton structure, bone mass

and posture.

• I explore the 7 core processes using a scoring system to evaluate the Health Assessment that is given to each client.

• We have recently switched from a paper assessment to a simple online form clients can take at their leisure. The assessment is then scored by a specific correlation between answers.

• This saves time for me and the clients to be able to use their consultation time more efficiently.

Chronic Illness Conundrum• Undermine quality of life• Chronic Illness on the rise: CDC estimates 78% of national health care

expenses are due to Chronic conditions. • Polypharmacy= Taking a number of pills to treat a range of symptoms• Doctors offer little education on how to manage Chronic disease. • Links between genetics, lifestyle and environment, suggesting that Genetics

are NOT the only factor for developing disease.

Functional Medicine Breakthrough*Systems approach to the body• Exploring the entire network to find places where genetic expression have

been altered by environmental factors.• Finding imbalances• Finding triggers for illness and symptoms• New model for healthcare: Diet, supplemental nutrition, exercise, lifestyle,

behavior therapies, and environmental modification.

Personalized Health Care

Building an individual baseline program that shows people how to change the course of events that have lead to chronic disease. The goal is to live a long and well life.

I hope to show people ways they can make even small changes that have a huge impact on well-being.
