Happy New Year, Healthy New You!

• Optimal Weight— It’s all about the math, once your calorie level is calculated for your age, gender and activity level the pounds will melt off without feeling deprived or suffering from extreme hunger attacks. Getting the right calorie intake level supports gradual weight loss and keeps the weight off in the long term.


• Nutrient Balance—If your diet is missing in essential nutrients you will be susceptible to illness, fatigue, skin problems and potential emotional issues.   A dietary analysis gives you the specific information for getting your diet into proper balance for optimal health and well-being.


• Detoxification Plan— If you’ve been eating poorly or over-indulging in alcoholic beverages over the holidays, a detox plan can clear your system and provide a fresh start to the new year.   This is also beneficial if you have chemical sensitivities, or are exposed to chemicals in your profession or living environment.


• Customized Nutrition— A customized nutrition plan is the way to go if you have specific needs. Planning for a triathlon, marathon, a new addition to the family, surgical recovery, or diet for food allergies/intolerances?  All these can be addressed through a targeted nutrition plan to meet your individual needs.

All the above areas can be addressed by Sheri.  She has many years of experience in working with nutrient analyses, calorie balance and customized nutritional needs.
