As a Chef and wellness professional you may be able to imagine my horror when, 15 years ago, my doctor told me that I was pre-diabetic and that the fatigue, brain fog, and depression I had been experiencing were diet-related.
At the time, I was running my own business as well as going to college full time and I was BUSY. Eating healthily had shifted down in my list of priorities!
I needed to feed myself nutrient dense food that I enjoyed but it had to be easy to do or it wasn’t going to happen.
In kicked my decades of experience cooking on luxury yachts and helping other people to heal through diet and I began the journey of doing it for myself.
The Journey to food wisdom…
The first part of my food journey focused on demystifying “healthy”. With all of the conflicting noise in the marketplace, I had to figure out how to decode what healthy meant for me. I focused on the factual information about food first - what it actually is and how it works with the body. This is the knowledge portion of the food wisdom equation.
Next I had to understand how those foods affected me. This is the awareness piece of food wisdom, the simple and honest noticing of how foods impact our particular body. By marrying the two, knowledge and awareness, I was able to develop confidence in my choices and relieve the mental stress of meal prep.
Once I had demystified the "healthy" part of healthy meal prep, I set out to decode the meal prep part. Not only did I need to eat healthy food, it had to be easy to do or I wasn't going to do it. In kicked my decades of professional chef experience and I developed my modular approach to meals and meal prep.
By shifting a few beliefs, learning a few new skills, and gathering evidence of your ability to nourish yourself well, you can develop your personal food wisdom and have all the energy and good health that you want - with none of the stress and headache.
I distilled down the basics of what made it possible for me to have great tasting, nourishing food available at all times and I put it together for you in a simple, self-paced, online program!
