Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching Process
The Process
Prior to starting any one of our vitalizing health enhancing programs you will complete a Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Body Systems Questionnaire, Metabolic Typing Questionnaire and track your food, exercise and sleep for 7 days. This will allow us to fine - tune your diet to suit your physiological and lifestyle requirements. In our on-going coaching programs, we will coach you on what and when you should be eating. We will also teach you how to recognize the signs your body gives you when it is out of balance and teach you simple things you can do to bring your body back into balance to get you feeling better.

Gut Testing
Food intolerances or fungus/parasites in your gut can cause you to have difficulty losing weight and can lead to serious medical conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis,Lupus and Chron's disease. Often times, symptoms from these diseases are eliminated when these are identified and addressed. Gut testing tests for food intolerances to gluten, soy, eggs and dairy. In addition candida, c-difficile, h-pylori, parasites and pancreatic functioning can be tested. All testing is done through stool samples that can be done in the comforts of your own home.
