Nutrition Coach Near Me: that is not about trends and a coach  that understands my needs and my struggles.

That is why I'm here, in Los Angeles, where trends fly around the world. I'm here TO STOP THAT INSANITY! And I have clients of all ages that live all over the world, thanks to the internet.

The diet that has carried our species across continents and centuries, is still the healthiest and most logical diet for us to live by today. This is a rainbow of foods rich in vitamins and minerals, proteins and carbohydrates that consist of real foods that are in season where we live. Foods that contain the nutrients that we need in the season are what is in abundance at that time, making them also available and affordable. The fact that food is perishable is another life lesson, natural and organic food preservation has evolved into health benefits that .boost our immune system and support the microbiome in our intestines. 

Some people tend to have an interesting concept of the term 'diet'; some people feel like they need to be punished or be denied foods that they love to lose weight and get their dream body. Being 'denied' favorite foods tends to set ourselves up for being 'rewarded' with foods that we know (KNOW!!!!) aren't good for us. What once was a very special treat because of the scarcity of sugar or fats, is now readily available and promoted in our convenient food culture.

With all the diet trends that have come and gone, there is one that is internationally proven year after year in the scientific community, not a profit driven answer, pure and simple: The Mediterranean Diet. Most people have a misconception of what the actual parameters are of The Mediterranean Diet. It is driven by seasonal real, often organic, foods. My support includes recipes, meal prep, meal timing and meal plans (Yes, I'm a chef, and an Italian Grandmother too!) that fit into your lifestyle. Energy when you need it and eating to support deep sleep that lets your brain and body detox the way it's supposed to.

But while you're still reading, let me say this: carbohydrates are not the enemy. You cannot survive without carbohydrates: vegetables, fruit, grain are all carbohydrates. Over-processed carbohydrates are what I qualify as unhealthy, those are the foods that are stripped of all nutrients and then 'enhanced' with the same nutrients  that were removed in processing, and then called 'fortified', which sounds healthy right? yeah.... no...spraying chemical compositions of minerals and vitamins is not exactly the same as eating the foods rich in those nutrients. Carbohydrates help you have a stronger and longer workout!

And a real quick response to Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Wegovy HD, Monjaro)  GLP-1's , originally made for patients with diabetes, which is used with diet and exercise to help control blood sugar as well as weight loss. This program requires a controlled diet of nutritionally dense foods. Yes, I work with that too. 

But let's sit down and see exactly where you are with your understanding of your body's need for nutrition and get you feeling great and looking amazing!
