The Power of Food

 





The Power of Food. I am a firm believer that food comes first, and food will heal. It healed me. That being said, I believe in shades of gray, and there is a place for everything, so if you take medication and require it, that is another conversation.  

 

The truth is often time we never accurately give food an honest chance. When I work with clients who stay consistent, disciplined, and committed, their lives transform—their health changes. Eating whole foods and having an active lifestyle will transform your life. 

 

  Every client is unique and requires a tailored program, depending on their current health, knowledge, and willingness. Ultimately, I find my job is educating, coaching, and guiding my clients to build healthy relationships with themselves and with food. 

 

The more I study food, the more I learn. I am continually amazed by its healing properties. I will close out with this; It saddens me; for example, we are not taught more about nutrition in school. If we eat more for health and nutrition, we would have a fraction of the major diseases we have today. Yet Doctors continue to talk about medication first and nutrition as if it doesn't work and, at best, that it is as small a percentage of the population that it may help. My experience is different. This is what is taught. NOT what is FACT! I have clients that have diabetes that is no longer on medication and managing with food and diet today. I have clients that are also on very low dosages of medications that were once on very high levels. They believed they had to maintain high medication levels, which kept them overweight and unhealthy. Again there are times medication is required. However, with a healthier diet, one can have a healthier lifestyle. 

 

5 Tips to Incorporate Healthy Food:

 

1. Eat wholefood or juice as a snack

2. Do a smoothie

3. Get rid of the junk in the house

4. Don't go IN the gas station

5. Don't shop when your hungry 

 Bonus: ask yourself what I am getting out of what I  am doing. What is the goal?

Why Fiber is a Superfood: The Importance of Adequate Intake

  Why Fiber is a Superfood: The Importance of Adequate Intake Fiber is one of the most essential nutrients that our body needs, yet studies today show that most Americans still need to consume enough fiber in their daily diet. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is indigestible and passes through our digestive system largely intact. Although it does not provide energy, it has been found to be associated with many chronic health diseases that we are facing today. In this blog post, we will delve into the importance of adequate fiber intake and why it is considered a superfood. 1. What is Fiber, and Why is it Important? Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. There are two types of fiber—soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can bind with fatty substances, while insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and adds bulk to the stool. Both types of fiber are essential in maintai...

The Link Between Constipation and Semaglutide Use in Patients with Overweight or Obesity

  The Link Between Constipation and Semaglutide Use in Patients with Overweight or Obesity Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has been heralded as a game-changer in the management of obesity. While its efficacy in promoting weight loss is well-documented, there is an emerging conversation within the medical community about its gastrointestinal side effects, particularly constipation. This article aims to provide health professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the evidence linking semaglutide to constipation and its implications on gut health. Understanding Semaglutide Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable medication that mimics the functions of the natural hormone GLP-1. It works by enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, and slowing gastric emptying. These mechanisms collectively contribute to appetite suppression and significant weight loss. However, the slowing of gastric emptying can also lead to gastrointestinal disc...
