When most people think about losing weight they envision the ugly act of dieting. They imagine all of their favorite foods being taken away from them. No fun! No fair! Most people find that dieting is not sustainable. They can do it for a month or two and lose a few pounds, but after a month they gain that weight back and sometimes more. What about a more sustainable way to lose weight, eat healthier and enjoy life?nnWhenever you consider making changes in your life it's always best to have a support system. Think about any major life decision: applying to college, getting married, etc. Did you consult with your friends and family about which college you wanted to go to or your future spouse? The same applies to healthy living.nnI have found that Integrative Nutrition students are able to change their eating habits, get more exercise, have balanced relationships and careers because they are surrounded by people who want to support them through the process. Whether that's through their own health counselor, myself or their peers. The school provides such a large network of health counselors so people can work together towards optimal wellness, but what about the rest of the world?nnI recently launched a 14 Days to a Healthier You campaign that includes free personal coaching emails from me. It's an opportunity for those who are not a part of Integrative Nutrition to get some of the benefits that students and graduates get. Those who are a few days in are already seeing changes in the foods they eat and their energy levels.nnIf you are looking for ways to increase your health and vitality I encourage you to sign up for the 14 Days to a Healthier You emails and get the support you need. You can share with me here how the process is going, but I will be checking in with you at different points of the program. Enjoy!
