Hi, I’m Mike!

I’m a holistic nutritionist that helps people feel more optimistic about their health and wellness through changes in diet and lifestyle shifts.

Through my work, I aim to simplify the whole eating healthier process and teach you that getting started and taking action today with some small, simple changes can go a long way. Diet and nutrition can be tricky subjects, and I’d like to help demystify some of the info you may or may not have acquired up until now.

I believe that one of the best investments one can make in life is in their own health. Let me take some of the stress off your plate and coach you along your journey towards feeling your best NOW.

I create individualized nutrition plans which can address the following health concerns:

• Weight management
• Blood sugar regulation
• Digestive disorders
• Cholesterol maintainance
• Immune support
• Stress management
• Food allergies and intolerances/sensitivities

Not really looking to treat one of the conditions above but instead looking for an accountability partner to keep you on track? Through consistent check-ins and follow-up visits, I’ll ensure that you won’t be left alone in tackling your goals.

My Approach vs. Theirs

REAL FOOD
I emphasize the importance of cleaning up the diet and teach my clients how to zone in on real, whole and nourishing foods while eliminating the “non foods” — the detrimental ones.

QUALITY
I will introduce you to healthy replacements for the unhealthy versions of some foods you may be consuming and stress the importance of opting for high-quality and nutrient-rich foods.

MACROS and CALORIE COUNTING
While these metrics do matter, far too often the sole emphasis is placed on tracking these numbers yet disregarding the impact of the types of foods one should be eating to reach health goals. Google “IIFYM” if you are unfamiliar with this approach to diet and nutrition.

Rather than working towards hitting a daily number (calorie restriction) regardless of quality food intake or not, my work aims to focus on eating more real foods while eliminating or reducing the junk foods.

PROTEIN SHAKES and SUPPLEMENTS
These aren’t a necessary component towards reaching your goals. Other programs out there may try to upsell you on various protein powders and pills as part of a health regime.

My coaching will focus on food first and foremost and secondarily recommend the above supplementation if needed.

LONG-LASTING RESULTS VS. A QUICK FIX

The quick fix approach towards nutrition usually results in yo-yo dieting and a rebound into a previous health state.

Achieve results while along the way learn to make long-lasting lifestyle changes that you’ll take with you for life.

TOOLS FOR SUCCESS (what I provide):

– Assessment
– Tailored Meal Plan (based on your specific health goals)
– Recipes
– Everyday Tips & Tricks
– Coaching & Mindset Support
– Goal Setting & Tracking
– Holistic Lifestyle Recommendations

I am a great listener and will spend the time with you to develop specific goals and a measurable plan that will suit your personal needs and help you to identify any obstacles that may be hindering your ability to progress nutritionally.

I also discuss and share mindset tactics during our coaching sessions as I firmly believe that the way we think controls our eating habits. I want to see you succeed and feel confident about your food choices and general outlook on life.
