How I live…

Continuously working on mastering this whole diet, exercise, sleep, and stress thing. I do a few cool things too. Read more.

How I eat…

I love all things food! Let me be more clear…

I love to eat. I love the taste of foods. I love to chew foods.
I love to cook and experiment with foods.
I love sharing ideas and recipes. Food is definitely my love language.
I love going out to eat and trying new foods.
I love watching health documentaries and cooking shows.
I love talking about food. I’m that girl who will finish a meal and start talking about what my next one will be.

So now it’s clear how much I love all things food, I will say that it has been beyond frustrating trying to figure out what the f#%! to eat over the years. I have multiple issues (see below) and food has definitely played a huge role in helping me feel better. As I get older, feeling good and having energy has become very important. You have to feel good before looking good.

What I live with:

Food sensitivities
Environmental allergies – all year long
Arthritis in back
Hormonal imbalances and changes
Digestives issues and very uncomfortable bloating
Kidney stones
Former yo-yo dieter (messes up metabolism)
Pear shape (I have learned to embrace this but it’s a factor)
Empathetic (we are known to emotionally overeat and carry an extra 10-20 pounds)

While some may think anti-inflammatory is best with allergies and arthritis, there are a few anti-inflammatory foods I don’t eat because I’m allergic to them. I also find that certain times a year, I react differently to foods. So we all have to listen to our bodies and make our own rules. This is what I have learned for myself and to help others as a functional nutritionist. Figuring out the best nutrition and lifestyle for an individuals needs and resolve the issue(s) quickly with less trial and error. For detailed information on working with me one on one, more here.

Since I’ve love to cook, eat and share my food experiments, you’ll also find recipes that you can easily get ideas from and substitute out an ingredient to cater to your needs.
