Hi! I am Elizabeth. Welcome to Functional Nutrition Therapy.
Please take a minute to grab your food/drink of choice and I would love introduce myself.
The mantra I live by: FOOD IS FUN!
I hope you will find on this website a wealth of nutrition information and practical tips for how to apply it in real life. But most of all I hope you rediscover that food, real food, is FUN, TASTY and makes us feel as if we can conquer the world in a day. Good nutrition is not about deprivation but about feeling great today and for many days to come.
Goals:
- Share my thoughts, insights & expertise to the nutrition information plastered everywhere.
- Offer Personalized Nutrition (Food and Supplement) Plans based on your unique body, health situation and goals.
- Provide low cost, internet based classes for pregnant women and parents.
- Maintain my calendar of classes / lectures.
Nutrition is wonderful at preventing many chronic illnesses and decreasing the negative effects if you happen to have them. Chronic illnesses include diabetes (all types), heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, irritable bowel syndromes, food allergies, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, cancer, ear infections, getting colds/flu often. I did not list all chronic diseases so if you have a question about one that is not listed please ask.
I excel in my ability to look at your medical history, nutrition history, basic or complex labs and create a picture of what is happening in your body nutritionally. Then translate these scientific ideas, educate you about them and empower you to be able to make changes that are realistic and effective so that you can meet your health goals.
In pregnancy through childhood we have the ability to create a foundation of health and change the statistic that this generation will be the 1st generation to die at a younger age than their parents. As a mother of a toddler this is very important to me. And I understand the trials a parent goes through to find the time to prepare food and hope that some of it goes in the child’s mouth. I empower mom’s, dad’s and guardians via classes and individual consults to start their child’s nutrition out correctly and to put in place techniques to modify established habits.
Growing up my grandparents were the world to me. As they have aged and some have passed away I have been privileged to be apart of increasing their quality of life in their geriatric years. Geriatric Nutrition provided for you is an extension of my honoring those that have provided me so much. How may I help you improve your quality of life as you age?
Lecturing is a fun outlet for me to entertain myself about nutrition. Along the way the audience/class is educated on a range of customizable topics and we all have fun.
