TRUE HEALTH IS THE HARMONY
BETWEEN MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND NUTRITIONAL WELLBEING
Health and longevity can’t be bio-hacked through nutritional supplements, rigorous exercise or pills that appear to make your worries and problems melt away. The Blue Zone studies have identified the ingredients to living a long and healthy life.
Science has demonstrated the key to a long and healthy life lies in addressing three areas of wellbeing.
Mental – sense of belonging, community, supportive relationships
Nutritional – eating a balanced diet rooted in moderation and nutritionally dense foods
Physical – moving your body in a natural way
I CAN HELP YOU CREATE YOUR BLUE ZONE LIFESTYLE
A Sense of Belonging
Finding community and supportive relationships built upon shared interests or values is a critical piece of achieving a long and healthy life. These may include, faith based organizations, attending regular activities with friends, or joining a group or class.
Develop a Better Relationship with Food
Learn to identify when you are hungry vs. snacking or eating as an emotional response. Choose foods that are rich in nutrients and support both physical and mental wellbeing.
Move Your Body in a Natural Way
Discover physical activities that bring you joy, setting the foundation for longterm lifestyle change. Simple movements or activities such as walking, hiking, dancing or taking the stairs have a positive impact on both our physical and emotional wellbeing.
Are you currently or considering taking weight management medications?
I help clients utilize the benefits weight loss medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro provide, while simultaneously building the foundation for a long-term lifestyle change. A successful outcome is ultimately weaning off the medication(s) and having the physical, mental and nutritional aspects of wellbeing in place.
This is achieved through:
• Identifying potential barriers to reaching your goal
• Developing a positive relationship with food, eating when hungry vs. using it as a coping mechanism when experiencing emotional distress
• Addressing and healing the emotional stressor(s)
• Identifying enjoyable physical activities that one can see themself doing long-term such a walking, dancing, bike rides, yoga class, etc.
