Nutrition Counseling

At SweetLeaf, we offer an array of nutrition counseling options, provided by our certified nutritionist, Tracy. Tracy Stevens is a Certified Holistic Health Counselor from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and is a member of the Weston A. Price Foundation, an organization that focuses on nutrition education and research. Tracy practices a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that she looks at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat?  Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising?  As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
Her approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, she works to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding.  Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy.  As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.

Here are some concepts that we will explore during our work together:

Bio-individuality: The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has unique food and lifestyle needs.  One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run.  Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.  I use a personalized, holistic approach to ensure that you will have great success!

Primary Food: It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment.  It’s not just the food we eat, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these primary foods are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.  I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.
