Holistic Health Coaching

Why I have chose this....

I have struggled with weight, my digestive track, and health. Unfortunately no doctors or nutritionist could help me.  (More of my personal story to come) 

When I looked into Holistic Health Coaching I loved that it looked at the big picture. That everything with in us is connected. Our environment, our food, our jobs, our happiness, our spirituality, and more affects our bodies. We need to make great happy healthy environments, feed our bodies the right fuel, and find things we enjoy and make us happy and fulfilled and do them.

 

Food is Fuel: To quote Ratatouille "If you are what you eat, I only want to eat the good stuff".

We spend way to much time trying fad diets then getting upset that they do not work out. Then getting frustrated cause your best friend can eat french fries and burgers every day and only way a quarter of what you do. We are all made different!!! We need to find what works for us!! A few good tips for everyone to improve on. As a society we eat way too much meat. Meat is a great part of our diets but too much can do so much harm to our bodies. Add healthy CHO (carbohydrates) such as whole wheat, brown rice, and quinoa. Build up on leafy greens and vegetables. We do not get enough veggies in our diets!! Try to eat as much local produce and meat as you can and organic. Eat every two to three hours to keep your blood glucose levels healthy and to prevent over eating or your body going into "storing" mode. Try to eat fruits and vegetables that our in season. Most of all listen to your body and find out what it responds best to.Holistic Health Coaching is all about learning our own bodies and what it needs NOT a everyone can be on this diet and everyone should see results just on this diet. It just does not work that way.

Our body Knows best:

Our body knows to keep at a perfect 98.6 degrees. When we get too hot we perspire to cool ourselves off. When we get cold we shiver to heat ourselves up. So why wouldn't it know best with what we eat? After all it is the one digesting it. We need to begin to see how our bodies respond to different foods to help find what works best for us! Look at SHHHH, Listen, Listen, Listen for more in formation on this.

A happy environment is a healthy one:

It can be hard to find enjoyment if we are stuck in a job we hate and are overwhelmed and never find time for ourselves. In this state we are literally taking years from our lives by doing so. If we can not find a new job then we need to find ways to enjoy the one we have. Personalize our office space, make fun traditions for our selves like a treat yourself Tuesday. If you are in the opportunity to find a new job find something you are going to love and enjoy! Make a list of hobbies and things you find interesting then go threw and circle your top three. Look up jobs that are in the field of your top three interests. (exercise from Integrative Nutrition)
