Since losing both my parents to what is considered "preventable disease" (congestive heart disease, diabetes,) I became more and more conscientious about health. The more I read, the more I wanted to read and learn about alternative therapies, natural medicine, and just how important nutrition is. Much of our nation's diabetes epidemic can be related to misinformation on diet. My goal is to inform clients, especially diabetic clients, on the latest research and information to assist them in making an informed choice when it comes to taking care of themselves and implementing a healthier diet. As a parent of two young boys, I realize that what I do by example - and what I teach them - will lay the foundation of their health and wellbeing for the rest of their lives. I believe our bodies can thrive with proper nutrition - - and that no disease can survive in the healthy environments we create. My further research into the deceptive and dangerous ingredients in everyday foods we find on the grocery shelf -- of GMOs, pesticides, fungicides, antibiotics, hormones, dangerous food additives and other poisons -- stunned me! And so my mission began: To expose the toxins in the foods we eat - to inform about deceptive labels and information - and to show what to eat and what to avoid in order to maintain a healthy, vibrant life for my clients and their families. Knowledge really is power, and I hope to empower you with the knowledge you need to make informed choices, navigate through the plethora of sometimes confusing information, and enjoy the healthiest, most energetic life possible. I look forward to 'meeting you' and assisting you in your journey to that vibrant, healthier 'you'!
