My Nutrition Philosophy
After 15 years and thousands of clients, here's what I've learned: the best nutrition approach is the one you can sustain. It needs to fit your life, your preferences, and your values—not the other way around.
Evidence Over Trends
Every recommendation I make is backed by peer-reviewed research. I don't jump on bandwagons, and I won't tell you to eliminate entire food groups unless there's a compelling reason to do so. Nutrition science is nuanced, and I respect that complexity.
Practicality First
I don't believe in "perfect" eating. I believe in consistently making better choices than the alternative. A nutrition plan that can't survive a busy week, a vacation, or a stressful day isn't a plan—it's wishful thinking.
Holistic View
Nutrition doesn't exist in isolation. Sleep, stress, movement, and social connections all influence how our bodies respond to food. I help clients see the bigger picture rather than obsessing over individual nutrients or meals.
Long-Term Thinking
Quick fixes create quick rebounds. I help clients build habits that compound over years, not weeks. The goal isn't to look good for summer—it's to feel great and maintain independence and vitality for decades.
