Nutrition Tip

Daikon Radish is an Asian vegetable.  It looks like a large white carrot but tastes similar to our standard red radish.  Very flavorful but a little less hot.  Daikon is very healing – very good at breaking up congestion.  It contains natural diuretics and digestive enzymes and is effective against bacterial and fungal infections.  It’s available in most health food stores, Asian markets and in many large grocery stores.

A group program – series of interactive workshops

 

The Summer’s Over – Let’s get Back to Reality

Clean Up Your Diet (and life) and Get With It!

 

The goals of this workshop will be to:

 

§         create easy transitional changes to your diet

§         give you more energy, clarity

§         assist you in losing weight (if you want to)

§         develop an easily maintainable exercise plan

§         work with stress management tools

 

Does your diet need a little (or a lot) of “tweaking?”

 

Learn how to make healthier choices that work best for you --  For YOUR BODY and your BUSY LIFESTYLE.  You’ll have more energy, focus and lose some weight (if you’d like to) as well.  There are many other factors in our lives that affect the food we eat and visa versa.  As such, we’ll also work on some lifestyle issues -- things like stress management, sleep (how to get to sleep, stay asleep or get restful sleep) and exercise.  This course will take place in four workshops.  You’ll leave each workshop with a set of recommendations (via a follow up email) to implement as well as various articles, recipes, food samples, audio references and other healthy living tools.

 

The four sessions will be held via teleconference from 6:30 – 8:30 PM ESTon the following dates:  September 13 and 27, October 11 and 25 (note, all are Wednesdays)

 

The cost for the series (and all the goodies) is only $199.

We all can use more balance in our life.   Learn how to create balance within your own life by looking at key areas – food, sleep, relationships, relaxation, exercise and goal setting.    We’ll discuss how all of these areas are inter-related and therefore have direct cause and effect on one another.   This workshop will give you insight into these various aspects and give you tools and suggestions to keep them all “in the air”.   Friday night’s session will be an informative lecture; Saturday morning’s session will be a hands-on interactive workshop.

Initiate a Change

Are your health concerns impeding you from living life fully? Do you want to change your relationship with food from the inside out? Are you seeking deep seeded balance and wellness?

 

I would eagerly welcome the opportunity to work with you on a personal level.  We can work together privately to create a customized life-long plan for you AND create the steps to incorporate those changes into your existing routines.

 

Through my counseling services I help people create and maintain balance in their life by using nutrition as a focus and a tool.  To do this I look at the entire lifestyle of an individual to achieve maximum health.  This is accomplished through education and private consultations where an individualized program is developed for each client.  These consultations include evaluating the client’s current diet and overall lifestyle and then making easily implemented, gradual changes.  Additionally, they receive outside information in the form of articles, books, tapes and recipes.  Also included are additional monthly forms of education and participation -- activities like cooking coaching, health food store shopping hints, light exercising functions and other activities. My practice is telephone based, allowing for maximum flexibility and ease.

 

To schedule an initial consultation contact me today at Brenda@SeedsToChange.com or (917) 213-9305.
