“My overall philosophy includes caring for the whole patient–taking into account all aspects and contributing factors to health such as stress, sleep, family, work, environmental factors and more. In addition to nutrition education, I encourage the practice of being present and kind to oneself, as this allows a deeper connection with the body for patients to assess how they feel and which foods help with wellness–and which increase symptoms of fatigue or bloating. My goal is for patients to seamlessly start to choose healthier versions of the foods they currently eat and for it to become a part of their new lifestyle of healthier living.”
