No One Diet Works for Everyone

The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has their own nutritional needs. So, when the experts say, "dairy is good for you" or "fat is unhealthy", it's too much of a generalization. One person's food is another person's poison. Some of our bodies have severe reactions and allergies to specific foods. I look at your age, health, and allergies to certain foods, activity level, and personal preferences to determine your dietary needs. The holistic integrative approach to nutrition emphasized high quality organic vegetables and fruits, complex carbohydrates, protein and water while reducing meat, dairy, sugar and artificial food.

Everything is Food

Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual practice are essential forms of primary food nourishment. When these "primary foods" are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.
