What piece of advice would you give to your younger self?

Delicious pasta and pita.
It's not just about what you eat. It's equally important about how you feel when you eat.
When you are relaxed and calm during your dining experience your food digests easier.
When eating 'on the go' or under stress your blood glucose rises. Increasing risk of diabetes. It also causes an increase of acid in the stomach, constipation, feelings if being sick and nauseous.
Next time you sit down to eat, pause, and take a deep breath. Give thanks for your meal. Bon Appétit

Decades ago I became a very young mother. I needed assistance with my daily needs. W.I.C. was a part of that for me. They've come a long way since I relied on their support.
Beginning in June they will be making available vouchers to offer fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and more. They will be making it so that children and moms can have healthier options. Many who rely on W.I.C. are from low-income communities and oftentimes in food deserts that do not have access to healthy nutrient intake.

Tell me your story. Were you able to make lifestyle changes that have increased your health, wellness, and personal well-being?

When I started my coaching journey I made the decision that I would be "All In". I had already started coaching people but didn't have the proper education and solid credibility to support my work.
It was going to take about one year to graduate but I decided that I would put in full-time effort. It paid off. Not only did I graduate in 6 months, but I ranked at the Top-10 of my class.

Lifestyle Medicine (LM) is a rapidly growing discipline that focuses on the role of lifestyle factors in preventing, managing, and reversing chronic disease. At this point in the field’s evolution, there is strong evidence that the 6 pillars of LM—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections—are central in the creation and maintenance of health.
In the West, we focus highly on food and fitness. They are only two prongs on the ladder of health. Taking a holistic approach is where true success toward health and overall well-being are to be found

Let's talk.

Diet has been identified as the single most important risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the United States. Yet, most healthcare providers spend relatively few hours learning about nutrition during formal training. This places the majority of the population at risk due to overeating under nutritionally dense foods. Consuming a high intake of ultra-processed, calorie-dense, and high saturated fat-laden foods.
Health and Wellness Coaches are key players in helping their clients lose weight and gain a quality of life. Coaches don't prescribe. They help clients gain knowledge that makes realistic and practical sense. Where the client creates their own nutrient intake protocol that's perfect for them.
Remember, when it comes to nutrition. There is no 'one size fits all' model.

Lifestyle Change is the "First Line of Defense".

There is scientific support for this within the medical field.
*American Heart Association
*American Diabetes Association
*American Association of Endocrinologists
*American Institute of Cancer Research

Don't wait until you are under heart, diabetes, hormone, gut, and cancer care to begin making a Lifestyle change.

You'd be surprised how small consistent steps toward health and personal well-being will gain big results.
