Hear what our clients are saying about working with us.
What direction should you go?
Mediterranean? Keto? Vegan? Vegetarian? Intermittent fasting? Low-Glycemic?
These are just a few and there are so many more “diet approaches” to choose from! How do you know which to try or is right for you? Before going down one path or another; consider these questions honestly. Changing eating habits is hard enough -Don’t set yourself up for self sabotage and failure by not planning and making a solid decision on which path to take.
What is you goal or objective? Losing weight? Getting healthy?
Does it fit into your current lifestyle? Meals made at home? Food ordered in? Dinning out?
Is it flexible? Or is it ridged and based on extreme restrictions?
Is it sustainable? Is it for a lifetime of habits? Or a quick fix?
What is the financial cost involved? Is that sustainable?
Do you have regular access to the food?
How much time is necessary for preparation? Are there time saving options?
What is your motivation for choosing one over another?
Is it based on counting, measuring or recording consumption?
Your success will be based on the results of an honest assessment of these questions. No matter which approach you decided these items should definitely be part of your path:
Sustainable
Balanced food groups
Flexible - because life happens!
Based on non-processed food choices
Mostly real food choices -not made in a Factory
Proper hydration
Cost Effective
Well supplemented to cover the gaps in nutrients
An approach that is coupled with physical activity and restorative sleep.
Who’s path are you on?
What are your food triggers?
Some are harmless. Some are mild annoyances. Some are a bit overwhelming. Many are habitual. Some are food based. Some are based on certain places or people. Some are rooted in certain activities or situations. Some can be addressed by changing a current choice for a healthier one.
We all have them. Can you identify yours?
Wine with Pasta
Pizza with Wings
Dessert with Coffee
Beer with Pretzels
Chips with Dip
Re-steady your Balance
Being healthy is about Balance. The most practiced yoga teacher cannot hold a tree balance pose constantly. Somedays are easier than others. Its about making small adjustments to "re-steady" our Balance. The more practiced you are at re-steadying yourself -the more habitual it will be.
Small adjustments help us re-steady and find balance.
Approach to Sustainable Change
A productive approach to sustainable change…consider the positive habits you already have concerning a healthy lifestyle and amplify those behaviors.
Change that is motivated by fear, guilt, regret or a desire to fix a perceived weakness often leads to negative a self-defeating cycle in which we try and fail and keep being reminded of what is not working.
Focus and build on the positives, leave the negatives behind.
Does aging always equate to having pain? Your Choices & Mindfulness
Why is it that we ignore the small discomforts in our bodies and don't respond until we're in full blown pain or have lost the function or ability to do something?
As we age, many shrug off small messages coming from our bodies as simply aging. However, what if we started paying attention to those subtleties?
A mindful part of aging would be to respond and be in the moment with curiosity about the discomfort that we're experiencing.
Consider an example if we are experiencing chronic shoulder pain and it turns out that pain is our dominant hand that we all hold our cell phone or our mobile device with. That particular position is chronically causing repetitive strain on those muscles.
Potential solution -put the mobile device in another hand when the discomfort or the tiredness in the arm is experienced; take a stretch or even put the device down for awhile to allow for rest.
Respond instead of delaying and waiting for full blown pain and loss of function and the need to react!

Nourish? or Simply Eating?
Understanding how our bodies respond to what we put in them, and even making minor changes can significantly alter our energy levels.

Healthy is Inside Out
If you get the inside right, the outside will fall in place. Focus on making healthy choices for yourself and you will experience the bonus of feeling and looking healthy as well.
Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, with one serving providing 184% of your daily value plus:
Vitamin C -Calcium -Iron -Biotin -Vitamin K1 -Potassium -Vitamin B6 -Lutein
You are what you eat… it shows in how you move and look.
Do I really need to take vitamins?
You may be healthy, active and regularly making all the right food choices yet still fall short. Vitamins can bridge the gap.
The reason one vitamin can promote so much benefit in the body, is because the deficiency of one vitamin can negatively effect so many bodily functions.
Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients—because acting in concert, they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help strengthen and rebuild our bones, support the bodies recovery from injury, and are a critical component of our immune system. They also play a strategic role in converting our food into energy.
Understanding the Benefits of taking vitamins is based on 3 factors
Quality of Product
Consistency of Use
Your Body's Ability to Absorb
Fountain of youthfulness - Your Choices
How we age is a choice; with gratitude or misery.
Have gratitude and laugh frequently -they’re both contagious and fountains of youth
A body in motion, stays in motion -take a walk, try yoga, just move
You are what you eat -eat your veggies, drink your water, nourish your body…don’t just feed it
Use it or lose it -have a purpose and stay connected, get out there… you’ve got good stuff to share
Prepping Weekly Food
How long can it be safely kept in the fridge?
Always consider storing in glass containers, like mason jars… freshness is enhanced.
2-3 days : cooked poultry or seafood, chopped salad
4-5 days : boiled eggs, cooked oatmeal or legumes
5-7 days : cooked rice, sweet potatoes or pasta
Do you know your chemistry?
Understanding how our bodies respond to what we put into them; making minor changes can significantly alter our energy levels and overall health.
Do you know the impact of what you are consuming through food or drink?
Each of our bodies is like a chemistry beaker, everything we put in causes some sort of a reaction.. some good, some not so good and some really awful.
Doubtful of that? Consider:
children at a birthday party after the cake and ice cream
the impact of alcohol after 1, 2, 3 or maybe 4 drinks
how drinking coffee when you are tired can energize you
What is a habit?
"We are what we repeatedly do"
-Aristotle
Habits make up a portion of our day, while we are running on auto-pilot. Many many habits are healthy and normal. Some habits simply are not and cause more harm in the long term.
In reality, one does not quit a habit, without replacing it with another.
The challenge is to identify the triggers for the unhealthy habit and incorporate new ones with healthier choices.
Trying to quit smoking? Trying to cut back on or quit sugar? Trying to drink more water? Trying to exercise more?
For many it is a physical addiction to the unhealthy substance or its impact. For many it is a stress relieving or social habit. For many unfortunately it maybe both.
Your diet is not just what you eat
Are you treating yours with respect?
Health is a relationship you have with your body. A powerful and interesting way to look at it. Your diet is everything you expose yourself to.
It is what you listen to, what you read, what you watch, the people you hang around, the entertainment you engage in, your hobbies, etc…
Are you being as supportive of its needs as you could be? Are you protecting it from harm? Are you nourishing it? Are you showing it love?
What does Isotonic Delivery Mean?
Do you take vitamins? Do you absorb them? There is a difference….
The nutraMetrix isotonic delivery system is different, and important to understand with so many people today having compromised digestive systems. An isotonic solution (liquid) delivery means that the body has less work to do in obtaining maximum absorption. This allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Minimal nutritive value lost, making the absorption of vitamin highly efficient while delivering maximum results. While getting the most product for your dollar… not unnecessary and unknown fillers.
Jump Start Your Wellness Routine
Do you take any vitamins? Are you absorbing them? There is a difference. A big expensive difference.
If you think you are saving cash by buying your vitamins a local grocery, pharmacy or wholesale club store like BJs or Sam’s club- you actually are not. The price maybe right, although what you are buying and consuming could be very minimal and difficult for your body to digest and absorb.
nutraMetrix is different and offers Isotonic Delivery . Specially formulated for optimum quality and absorption.

Mindful Self-care
It is a misguided belief that self-care is self-indulgent or being selfish. It is simply caring for yourself. A necessary source of support for various areas of your life that play an important role in your health and wellbeing. Self-care promotes your ability to be the best version of you in all the areas of your life.
Most self-care is sabotaged by STRESS… too much or not enough of something.
Self-care can fall into any of the following categories which play a role in creating or calming stress for everyone:
Nutrition and Hydration
Physical Activity
Managing Stress and Emotions
Rest
Relationships
Physical Hygiene, Medical and Dental
Environment
Fun
Self-Compassion
Finances
What if we considered and prioritized self-care as a small daily goal?

It is your journey
There is always time to change the path you are on.
Maybe a conversation, with a Health Coach familiar with numerous diet approaches could assist you. Perhaps a Massage Therapist who has specialized in helping clients manage chronic pain for over 15years would have a suggestion or two on how to address some of your concerns of aging and the accompanying daily aches. Could a Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher potentially guide you through some mindfulness, gentle movement activities to safely become more active and in better physical shape all while restoring some balance to your life?
What are you waiting for? Yesterday you said tomorrow… lets get started, the choice is yours.
