Nutrition For Everyday

You are what you eat. Garbage in, garbage out. No matter how you say it, it all boils down to one thing. It may be years before a nutritional deficiency is evident but there is no denying that food plays a very basic and integral role in our health and well being. On the technical side food provides us with energy, vitamins and minerals, fibre, antioxidants and other chemical nutrients that all play a role in healthy tissue formation and disease prevention. Food also provides us with pleasure through tastes and textures and quite often is the centre of social gatherings and activities. Understanding how to combine and balance these two important aspects of food is key to maintaining good health.

Through comprehensive analysis of diet, lifestyle, and health history, a holistic nutritionist is able to guide you and your family towards a healthier way of eating. Simply through good dietary habits we see improvements in energy and sleep, digestion and elimination, pain and inflammation, cardiovascular health, immune response, blood sugar balance, cholesterol, and much more.

Your Personalized Nutritional Assessment includes:

Initial lifestyle interview
Follow up meeting to discuss diet evaluation and personalized plan
Three additional 1/2 hour consultations to monitor progress and address concerns
Tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle

Nutrition For Fitness & Sport

Sports nutrition is the study and practice of nutrition and diet as it relates to athletic performance. The combination of foods we eat, water we drink, and lifestyle choices we make determines the overall health of our body. The goal is to provide the necessary ingredients in a balanced ratio to enable the body to heal naturally and remain healthy throughout our lives.

A well designed exercise program creates stresses and demands on the body that make muscles stronger and improves cardiovascular health. Without proper care it may also deplete essential nutrients which can, over time, negatively affect our health. An athlete's dietary regimen plays a vital part in accomplishing his/her goals because it allows the athlete to reach his/her maximum performance. A balanced and healthy diet is as important as a good training plan and will provide enough energy for all your daily activities, promote faster recovery from workouts and enhance the immune system.

The Lifestyle Program Includes:

Initial diet and lifestyle consultation
Follow up appointment with diet evaluation and recommendations with emphasis on energy and recovery
Nutritional supplement recommendations
One maintenance check up
Tips for long term success

Fitness Nutrition Package: $175 + GST         Subsequent follow-ups (15 min.): $20

Detoxification Program

Our bodies naturally detoxify everyday as part of a normal body process. Detoxification is one of the body's most basic automatic functions of eliminating and neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymphatic system and skin. Unfortunately in this day and age, with the pollution found in the air, water and food we eat, our bodies have a hard time keeping up. Our chemically enhanced diet with excessive animal protein, saturated and trans fats, caffeine and alcohol radically changes our internal ecosystem.

Body systems and organs that were once capable of cleaning out unwanted substances are now completely over-loaded to the point where toxic material remains inside our tissues. Our bodies try to protect us from dangerous substances by setting it aside, surrounding it with mucous and fat so that it will not cause an imbalance or trigger an immune response (some people carry up to 15 extra pounds of mucous that harbors this waste).

Detoxification is especially important for those who have:

Immune-compromised diseases (i.e. cancer, arthritis, diabetes and chronic fatigue)
Digestive Problems (i.e. IBS, crohns, colitis, celiac, constipation/diarrhea and bloating)
Skin Conditions (i.e. acne, psoriasis, eczema and rosacea)
Allergies and food sensitivities
Hormonal imbalances (i.e. PMS, irregular periods, menopause)
Anxiety and/or Depression
Difficulty losing weight

Our personalized detoxification program is designed to effectively clear the body of toxins and provide optimal nourishment for healing and rebuilding the cells. Our plan includes:

Current lifestyle assessment
Review of clients personal health goals
Customized detoxification meal plans
Support meetings and progress updates throughout cleansing program

When toxins and wastes are removed, optimal function is restored. The body will feel the effects of cleansing right away through rebalanced hormone levels, a rise in energy levels, physically, mentally and sexually and an improved sense of awareness and creativity. You will feel like a different person, because you are! Your outlook and attitude will have changed because through cleansing and improved diet your actual cell make up has changed.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances, which triggers the body's natural system of healing. Based on their experience of their symptoms, a homeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to the patient. It works on the principle of like cures like - that is, a substance that would cause symptoms in a healthy person is used to cure those same symptoms in illness. For example, one remedy which might be used in a person suffering from insomnia is coffea, a remedy made from coffee. A remedy used for someone suffering from allergy or cold symptoms (watery eyes, runny nose) might be Allium Cepa which is derived from onion. A carefully selected homeopathic remedy acts as a trigger to the body's healing processes.

Are homeopathic remedies safe? Homeopathic remedies are a unique, potentised energy medicine, drawn from the plant, mineral and animal worlds. They are diluted to such a degree that not one molecule of the original substance can be detected (after the 12c potency). They work by gently boosting the natural energy of the body, and are very safe, even for pregnant and sensitive patients. There is no danger of addiction or toxicity. Homeopathy can be safely used alongside most conventional medicines.

What can homeopathy treat? Homeopathy has a wide application, from acute fevers, sore throats and toothache, to chronic illnesses such as arthritis, eczema, asthma, anxiety, mild depression and chronic fatigue syndrome.

What happens when you see a homeopath? Your homeopath understands that establishing good health involves treating both mind and body, so time is taken to listen to your emotional and physical symptoms. An initial consultation generally lasts 2 hours in which a detailed history of the client is revealed through a series of questions. The information is then evaluated by the homeopath and a remedy is prescribed to the patient that best matches the overall symptom picture. Regular follow-ups ensure the client continues on a healing path.

Initial Consultation + 1st Follow-up (incl. remedy): $195
Subsequent follow-ups: $45 per half hour

Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle hygienic way of restoring the colon to a healthy state. Today, we are exposed to more stress, chemicals, drugs and food additives than ever before in our history.

The removal of these toxins from our body is essential for optimal health. Poor diet, inadequate water intake, lack of exercise and stress can all cause fecal matter to become impacted on the colon walls. This fecal matter can contain putrefied food, indigestible chemicals, bacteria, viruses, yeast and parasites.
