FAQs
What is a Holistic Health and Nutrition Coach anyway?
First off, ‘holistic’ applies to the whole person, which means that a ‘healthy lifestyle’ extends way beyond leafy greens on a plate. A ‘Holistic Health and Nutrition Coach’ is a certified expert who provides the structure, advice, and expert knowledge on healthy eating and living to accomplish goals related to obstacles such as: weight loss, stress, digestive issues, energy, emotional-eating, body image, and those good ol’ stubborn cravings.
What are your credentials?
We received our certification for Holistic Health and Nutrition Counseling after graduating from The Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York City in 2010. We studied under such leaders as Sally Fallon (Westin A. Price Foudnation), Deepak Chopra (mind-body medicine), John Doulliard, PhD (Ayurveda), Walter Willet, MD (nutrition & disease prevention), David Wolfe (raw food), and many more. Our training combines traditional philosophies of nutrition and cooking, combined with personal research and interests in the local-food movement, re-birth of eating seasonally, politics around agri-businesses, and the modern food-systems affect on the environment.
What kind of company workshops do you do? How would you work with my company?
The average person spends more time at work than they do at home. We love hardworking people and we believe they deserve to be healthy too. We do workshops around the topics of: healthy ways to reduce stress, the effects of sugar, increase energy (no-more 3pm sleepy woes), finding balance between work and personal lives, and getting support.
What does “Eat Life Whole” mean?
“Eat Life Whole” pertains to both food and life. We encourage eating WHOLE, REAL (unprocessed) foods, while also inspiring others to live life to it’s fullest (which sometimes means pursuing dreams, taking risks, trying something new, travelling, thinking different, and doing something that helps you move beyond your comfort zone).
