Find Balance with Nature and Nutrition Therapy
Have you ever seen the way a house plant bends toward the sunlight from a nearby window? Ever noticed the leaves angled to absorb maximum sunlight?
Every being on this planet is designed not just to survive, but to fully thrive!
That certainly includes you!
This truth in nature is undeniable, a tree certainly doesn't take "just enough sunlight to survive". No! A tree takes all the sunlight it can capture with it's leaves, or it makes more leaves, or it bends to capture as much light as possible. So, at what point did it become ok for you to make new rules to live by? At what point did you become separate from nature?
Perhaps you downplay your own desire to fully thrive with statements such as:
"I just need to keep my head above water."
"I don't have time to focus on my health right now!"
"I'll focus on myself after this next (fill in the blank...kid goes to college, work project is completed, etc. )."
Yet, it's not like you haven't tried everything. You tried the latest diet trend, the fancy supplement, or bio-hack. But, how long did that habit stick around? Did it die on the vine just like that last bunch of berries you bought and went bad before you could eat them?
Here's the thing, it's not your fault! It's not a lack of discipline, or even desire. It's simply metabolic and environmental chaos.
Einstein said, "There are not three dimensions, there are ten. Our problem, is that the eye only perceives in three dimensions."
Wait, what?!
Yes!! As your holistic nutrition and wellness coach, I help you see and understand the other dimensions.
I transform messy metabolic health mazes.
And, if you're honest with yourself...it's time for you to go first. It's your time to feel symptom relief and resolution. It's time for you to get dressed and feel amazing in your clothes, in public, and in your own skin.
Take a cue from nature, and fully thrive! Embrace the freedom that awaits you. Be open to another possibility, one where your dreams get to flourish.
Hi, I'm Denae!
Let me share a bit about how I got here, and why I hope to be the last practitioner/health coach you need to see to finally feel amazing again!
As a busy working mom juggling life, relationships and work deadlines, I was blind-sided when I experienced symptoms of perimenopause in my early 40's. I'd always been an overachiever, but hitting menopause before any of my friends felt like the worst milestone ever! I will never forget the first time it hit me, I was traveling across the country for a big national meeting, where I was expected to give a cooking demonstration to a live audience and couldn't get out of bed the morning of my event. I had overslept due to severe fatigue. Like mind-boggling fatigue! Don't even get me started on the brain fog, the weight gain no matter what I did...and hello, you'd think I'd have solutions right, since I am a dietitian! Well, nothing was working! Not the fad diet, not the latest supplement, not the new workout routine, not the Traditional Chinese Medicine, or acupunture, or really anything!!!
It occurred to me, that the old story about weight loss simply being a matter of altering calories in = calories out did NOT apply to a perimenopausal woman!
And so my journey began. I was relentless in researching and discovering how to:
-
Get my hormones in balance.
-
Achieve weight loss.
-
Get my energy back.
-
Digest food without feeling bloated.
Now armed with solutions that gave me the results I was seeking, I am here to help you reach yours!!
