How would it feel to stop searching online for meal plans, to enjoy your favorite foods and to not stress about every potluck or dinner out with friends ...and still walk out of your doctor's office with better lab results, lower medication doses and a pat on the back?

Eating can feel like a burden, especially if you’re trying to make a change or if you’re running from a chronic health condition. All of a sudden, the foods you’ve always eaten, the ways you’ve always cooked, the routines and habits you’ve followed feel like they’re being questioned. What was once just something you did now feels ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’ and everyone wants to give you their 2-cents on how to deal with it ... whether you wanted to know or not!

It’s completely normal to feel anxious about eating, or restricted, guilty or judged, or resentful that the only way you think you can get your numbers down is to eat the same thing day-in-day-out, like a punishment.

As a Registered Dietitian, I see so many people struggling with their weight and wondering where to start with their eating to prevent a heart attack or avoid getting diabetes. Feeling really terrible about how their bodies have changed over the years. Being told they’re obese, assuming they're doing something wrong and feeling judged that they aren't trying hard enough change it.

Over the past 12+ years, I’ve learned ‘real-life’ ways to make small tweaks to your eating that can have huge and lasting benefits to your overall health. Shifts in your habits to stop yourself asking “why is eating so hard?” or thinking “what am I allowed to eat now?”.  Simple tools to guide your decisions, making ‘healthy’ the easy choice.

We live in a world of information overload. ‘Getting healthy’ might mean losing some weight or it might not. There’s no one right way to eat for your heart health, get to your best weight or to prevent diabetes.

But knowing what you ‘should’ do (like eat more veggies) and actually doing it are 2 different things!

In the Nourish your Health program, we talk about how you can still eat all the things you love while adding in heart-friendly, nutrition-boosting habits. We find the balance between getting results and keeping flexibility so you can feel confident yet satisfied with your eating for the long run. And so you don't have to question yourself, "am I doing enough?".

It’s a guided step-by-step program that starts with foundational strategies and gets you taking action with each new topic.
