Overcoming Diet Challenges
Changing your diet can be daunting, especially when faced with common hurdles.

My Journey
Fifteen years ago, my journey into the world of healthy eating began. I experimented with various diets like vegetarianism, Whole30, and Paleo, each offering its own set of challenges and insights. My quest was driven by chronic gut issues that led me to explore supplements, food sensitivity tests, and more. Through trial and error, I discovered the power of mindful eating, which transformed my relationship with food.
Today, I focus on preparing meals that nourish my body and soul, avoiding foods that don’t serve me well. My experiences have shaped my approach as a health coach, helping others navigate their own dietary challenges with empathy and expertise.

Understanding Mindful Eating
Mindful eating is about being fully present during meals, allowing you to truly savor each bite and recognize your body’s hunger and fullness cues. This practice transformed my relationship with food by shifting my focus from restrictive dieting to enjoying nourishment. By paying attention to how foods affect my body and emotions, I learned to make choices that support my well-being without feeling deprived.
Through mindful eating, I became more attuned to my body’s signals, understanding what truly satisfies me and what doesn’t. This approach helped me break free from the cycle of guilt and stress associated with eating, leading to a more balanced and joyful relationship with food.
Body Signals to Guide Your Diet

Experiencing bloating, sluggishness, or aches after eating can indicate that your body is struggling to process specific foods.

My Balanced Approach to Eating
Eating Well Without Stress
These days, I focus on preparing most of my meals at home, which allows me to control the ingredients and ensure they align with my body’s needs. I prioritize cooked vegetables over raw ones, as they are easier for me to digest, and I avoid foods like beans and red meat that don’t sit well with my system.
When traveling, I employ strategies to maintain my dietary habits, (see this article for what I did when we traveled to France) I coach you to find suitable substitutes for favorite foods and help you rotate meals to prevent developing new sensitivities.
You do not have to give up all your indulgences, but learn to chose trusted brands that align with your health goals. By reading labels and researching supplements, we ensure that everything you consume supports your well-being. This balanced approach has helpsed me maintain a healthy diet without feeling restricted or stressed and can work for you.
