I am deeply passionate about helping people who feel they are not living their “optimal lives” They may feel low-energy and overwhelmed no matter what they try to do to reverse it. I can help individuals with symptoms ranging from low mood, low energy, poor nutrition, brain fog, anxiety, sleep issues, bloating, joint pain, stubborn belly fat to digestive and skin problems.

 

I can also help organizations and companies address issues related to work productivity, high turnover, adequate work-life balance and, stress and time management and unhealthy lifestyle.

 

I can help you in your wellness journey reclaim your right to health and happiness, or your “right to healthiness”.

 

 


 

Does this sound familiar?

 

1. You’re stuck in habits that aren’t serving you, yet breaking free feels impossible.


2. Worries about what you “should” be doing to protect your health—and your family’s future—weigh heavily on your mind.

 

3. The endless stream of health advice leaves you feeling overwhelmed and confused.


4. You’re frustrated with yourself for falling back into patterns of self-sabotage.


5. You’re hard on yourself for not prioritizing your  own wellbeing as much as you think you should.

TOP 10 WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

 

1. DRINK WATER

 

Hunger is often mistaken for dehydration. Instead of snacking, try drinking a glass of water. Mild dehydration can affect metabolism, so aim for eight glasses daily and limit soda, caffeine, and alcohol. Drinking water before meals can also aid weight loss, as it helps you feel fuller and eat less.

 

 

2. EAT CARBS–REAL CARBS!

 

Swap refined carbs like white bread and pasta for complex carbs from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. High in fiber, fruits and vegetables slow digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and reduce inflammation with their antioxidants.

 

 

3. CHOOSE HEALTHY FATS

 

Fats are essential for energy, vitamin absorption, and overall health. Good fats support hair, skin, and nails, and protect against heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and depression. Opt for nuts, seeds, fish, avocado, and extra virgin olive oil.

 

 

 

4. EMPHASIZE LEAN PROTEIN

 

Protein is vital for cell growth, energy, and blood sugar stability. Rich sources include meat, dairy, eggs, fish, beans, nuts, seeds, tofu, and tempeh. Opt for grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, or vegan options like peanut butter.

 

 

5. EAT BREAKFAST

 

A hearty breakfast boosts metabolism, curbs cravings, and supports healthy weight management. Skipping it can lead to overeating later. If you’re not hungry right away, eat when you can.

 

 

6. EAT MORE FREQUENTLY

 

Eating regularly helps maintain blood sugar, prevents overeating, and signals your body to burn energy instead of storing it as fat. Balance your meals and track your intake

 

 

 

7. EXERCISE YOUR BODY AND MIND


Exercise supports weight loss, heart health, and mood while keeping your body strong. Aim for 30 minutes of daily activity—walk, take the stairs, or play with your kids. Stay mentally active with positivity, meditation, reading, or brain games like Sudoku.

 

 

8. GET PROPER SLEEP

 

Sleeping less than five hours can lead to weight gain, disrupted metabolism, and increased appetite due to imbalanced hunger hormones. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep to support healthy weight and energy levels.

 

 

 

9. LEARN TO COOK

 

Cooking meals at home allows you to control portion sizes and quality of ingredients, and it cuts your intake of sodium, fat, and calories. Avoid frying foods by learning to roast or bake, and eat more raw foods to boost flavor and cut calories. Use herbs and spices to reduce salt intake.

 

 

10. KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU EAT

 

Be a food detective, and investigate what you choose to put into your body. Check labels, and avoid ingredients like sugar, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, and chemical ingredients that are hard to pronounce. The healthiest foods are those found just as nature intended – whole and unprocessed. When was the last time you saw an ingredient list on a stalk of broccoli or a fresh fillet of salmon?
