No fads, no superstitions, just real exploration of your personal microbiome and genetic makeup. Together we will formulate a plan that evolves with your healing.
Because we are working with Functional Nutrition and Chinese medicine, our goal is root cause resolution. This means developing plans and goals that work long-term, rather than on-size-fits-all miracle solutions.
This goes beyond diet modification, I will give you tools for developing the lifestyle that nourishes any dietary shifts you make. This is about life-long, sustained AND sustainable, change.
My goal is that you flow into routines that work for your life. Choosing foods, cooking, digesting, assimilating, and eliminating all on your own.
Because we need to make this a reality, in your real life! The most consistent challenge I have found in my work with clients is getting them to make d*mn the food! With our very full modern lives, making space for cooking according to your best nutritional goals can feel impossible.
Together we create a way of eating that works for you and your family (if need be!). Informed by my vast experience, your plan will work for where you are right now, and evolve we get you where you want to be. Menus will be curated around your medical conditions, goals, and culinary desires by me personally.
Mia Venuti, my beloved and skilled sous-chef, will then cook it all up. Whether in your home or in our commercial kitchen, Mia is a master at making each dish potently tasty, no matter the ingredient limitation.
We love to facilitate lectures, retreats and getaways where the food for attendees serves wellness as much as the learning and relaxation do.
A major emphasis in my teaching will always be placed on making functional nutrition tangible and real-life focused. Fads debunked, fears faced, and trepidation addressed, we make this an exploration of potential, rather than an elimination diet sentence.
Lectures engage one side of the brain, while hands-on lessons with food turn on another, more sensory aspect. Guests can be deeply involved throughout, and leave feeling empowered by both scientific knowledge they can truly intake AND practical skills in the kitchen and grocery store.
