Health

You are unique. Your diet should be too. Have you tried every diet but found that none of them seemed to work over a period of time?
Would you like to lose weight in a natural and gentle way without deprivation?
Are you bored of the same foods and want broader, more creative choices?

We all know good nutrition is essential to good health, but it is increasingly difficult to figure out which diet we should be on, on our own. While some programs emphasize metabolism, blood type or body type, others stress low-carb, high-protein, or vegetarianism. The effects are usually short-lived, and soon your body begins to crave certain foods in order to restore balance in the body. No two people are alike, so why should we all eat alike?

With holistic health counseling, you will learn why the only diet that works is the one you create for yourself – and you’ll learn how to create it. Based on the work of Joshua Rosenthal and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC, our programs offer you the tools to transform your life by providing cutting-edge technologies about how to unlock your body’s limitless potential, balance your emotions and master your diet.

Hippocrates taught that food should be our medicine and medicine should be our food. Mainstream medicine has lulled many people into thinking that their health rests in a pill or the surgeon’s scalpel. But as more and more people have come to realize, we are ultimately the authors of our own health. We can choose to be healthy, or unhealthy, depending on the decisions we make - what we eat, how often we exercise and how we deal with our emotions. While it’s up to us to look after our own health, all of us could use the wisdom and support of others to help us make the right choices.

With more and more information now available, some of it contradictory, much of it unsubstantiated, on what should we base our decisions? That’s where holistic health counseling comes in. Holistic health counselors impart foundational knowledge and insights that you can build on as you make your choices and set your health goals.

Increased clarity, energy & vitality
