Nutrition & Exercise Counseling
While we all have shared nutrition and exercise experiences, everyone requires a unique approach to how nutrition and exercise affect life. Many people are not aware they have nutritional deficiencies or underlying health conditions until they begin feeling unwell. At True Health, I provide nutrition and exercise counseling to help people understand their unique biological makeup and how various factors affect their overall health.
Improve Your Health with Nutrition & Exercise Counseling
One thing my years of practice have taught me is that there is no perfect diet and exercise plan for everyone. We all can think of examples of people who ate and exercised very similarly and ended up looking very different. There are so many factors that go into how your body handles food and activity; your metabolism, your nervous system, your genetics, even your stress level will all determine which foods will be healing for your body and which will push you in the wrong direction.
Nutrition & Exercise Counseling Can Help Uncover Health Issues
The same exercise will be the perfect fat-burning activity for one person and will actually cause another person to GAIN weight. Figuring out your best diet and your most effective exercise type can be a challenge unless you know what to look for. By collecting the right data points, you can make sure that your diet makes the most sense for your current health status, lifestyle, hormone balance, and metabolic type.
Enhance Your Health with a Functional Approach
Exercising, eating a balanced diet, taking supplements, and avoiding alcohol are excellent ways to improve overall health. However, many people feel discouraged when this approach doesn’t work. The truth is that nutrition and exercise are not a one-size-fits-all approach. I focus on an in-depth analysis of your past health and current needs and test for nutritional deficiencies preventing weight loss and overall health.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re looking for a functional approach to nutrition and exercise, please check out a couple questions about my services below.
1. How Can Nutrition and Exercise Counseling Help Me?
Do you want more results from your current nutrition plan or exercise routine? Perhaps you’re eating well and faithfully working out, but you still feel less than your best. It’s important to remember there is no perfect nutrition or exercise plan. Learning how your body functions and responds to certain foods can help you build a plan that meets your unique needs. That is where I come in to help.
I offer diagnostic and nutritional deficiency testing to determine if underlying health issues prevent you from reaching your goals. I also assess your medical history, metabolic type, and hormone balance.
2. Do You Use Specific Counseling Strategies?
Different health and wellness strategies will work differently for everyone. Many people struggle to lose weight and feel better because they have a leptin hormone sensitivity. Leptin is a necessary hormone but can produce too much if the body has an abundance of fat cells. I can determine if you have leptin resistance and overcome this issue with several strategies. Eating a low glycemic diet, eating only at certain times, encouraging sleep quality, and creating a unique exercise plan are a few strategies that help balance the leptin hormone.
