Additional Services

Need some additional guidance? I am HAPPY to help! Besides one on one consulting, I offer a variety of services to help ensure your endeavor to create a healthy lifestyle is successful!

  • Pantry and refrigerator clean-out ($150 for 2 hours/available in San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas) – Are you overwhelmed or confused on how to help you and your family eat healthier but not sure where to begin? The clean out is an easy way to make immediate changes! My goal is to create a comfortable space to share and suggest healthier substitutes. We’ll work together to determine if the foods in your home are supportive to your health and we’ll purge items that aren’t. We’ll talk about sweeteners, processed foods, healthy fats and oils, appropriate legume, nut, and grain preparation, probiotic foods and cooking ideas. You’ll gain knowledge and insight, plus I promise to make it fun!
  • Farmers market tour ($75 for 1 hour/available in San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas) – we’ll spend an hour at your local farmers market to learn how shopping at the market can save money, help you eat with the seasons, and provide your family with the freshest produce available.
  • Grocery store walk through ($150 for 2 hours/ available in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas) – this is a one on one trip to your store of choice. During our time together I will teach you how to read labels, ingredients to avoid, and the best options to purchase.
  • Virtual pantry and refrigerator clean out ($125 for 2 hours/ available anywhere) – same as described above except we’ll work together via Zoom video conference.
  • Virtual account set up with Azure Standard, UNFI, or Thrive Market ($60 per hour/available anywhere) – are you interested in using one of these online vendors to reduce trips to the grocery store and save money while enjoying real food? Let me help find your local drop spot, set up your account, and put together a favorites list based on your food preferences. You’ll be set up to order in no time! This service typically takes 2 hours – 1 hour for us to chat about food preferences and 1 hour for me to set up your account and favorites list.

Truth from Slow Down Farmstead! See my story with my hens doing the same as her hens. • #Repost @slowdownfarmstead with @get_repost ・・・ I tried to reason with them, I really did. I told them that all the egg cartons in the grocery store exclaim “vegetarian fed” in big, proud letters. “That means it’s good!” I explained. They weren’t convinced. In fact, they just continued gobbling up the bloody smorgasbord laid out before them. I told them that eating a vegetarian diet would buy them elevated status in the World Chicken Virtue Signalling Championships. They rolled their eyes. I suggested that a diet free of worms and grubs, bugs, bloody animal trim and guts is the right thing to do. The moral and ethical thing to do. Yes, their eggs would be flimsy shelled with watery whites and paltry yolks. Yes, they might suffer the ravages of chicken mites that chew up their legs. Yes, their feathers may be an embarrassment and they may have the undeniable drive to peck at each other’s flesh to make up for what’s missing in their diets. What of it? True enlightenment demands the sacrifice of oneself. This is not about their health or their biological needs. It’s about the Greater Good. We want labels, chickens! And because we care about economics, er, I mean, your welfare, we shall henceforth reason that “vegetarian fed” is the way to go. Let’s sprinkle in a couple flax seeds while we’re at it and say our eggs are extra juicy omega-3 eggs. No matter that the flax is rancid when you eat it. Labels we shall have! Just look at us humans, riding our little boats of infinite intelligence and superiority all the way to the infirmary. Who needs biology when you gots smarts? Not us.
I learned of the dangers of industrial seed oils when I read Nourishing Traditions. Soybean oil is the most widely used oil in the United States. It is often found in processed foods. and has now been found to cause genetic changes in the brain. Here’s more from Neuroscience News. Link to full article in my bio. • New UC Riverside research shows soybean oil not only leads to obesity and diabetes, but could also affect neurological conditions like autism, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, and depression. • Used for fast food frying, added to packaged foods, and fed to livestock, soybean oil is by far the most widely produced and consumed edible oil in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In all likelihood, it is not healthy for humans. • It certainly is not good for mice. The new study, published this month in the journal Endocrinology, compared mice fed three different diets high in fat: soybean oil, soybean oil modified to be low in linoleic acid, and coconut oil. • The same UCR research team found in 2015 that soybean oil induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in mice. Then in a 2017 study, the same group learned that if soybean oil is engineered to be low in linoleic acid, it induces less obesity and insulin resistance. • However, in the study released this month, researchers did not find any difference between the modified and unmodified soybean oil’s effects on the brain. Specifically, the scientists found pronounced effects of the oil on the hypothalamus, where a number of critical processes take place. • It is best to use unadulterated animal fats, like lard, talllow, and duck fat for high temperature cooking. Also, this article states it’s still okay to eat tofu, etc. I disagree. If I do eat soy, I focus on fermented soy foods, like tempeh and miso, from organic soy. • #fat #soy #soyoil #brain #brainhealth #tallow #lard #butterisbetter

Who’s read the JAMA article titled “Backlash Over Meat Dietary Recommendations Raises Questions About Corporate Ties to Nutrition Scientists” • It’s a great read, link in my bio. Here’s a few of my favorite paragraphs. • “Subsequent news coverage criticized the methodology used in the meat papers and raised the specter that some of the authors had financial ties to the beef industry, representing previously undisclosed conflicts of interest.” • “But what has for the most part been overlooked is that Katz and THI and many of its council members have numerous industry ties themselves. The difference is that their ties are primarily with companies and organizations that stand to profit if people eat less red meat and a more plant-based diet. Unlike the beef industry, these entities are surrounded by an aura of health and wellness, although that isn’t necessarily evidence-based.” • “The Annals published 5 systematic reviews—4 that included results from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and observational studies examining the relationship between red meat and health, and a fifth that looked at health-related values and preferences about eating meat. Based on the reviews, the authors produced a guideline that concluded adults needn’t change their meat-eating habits.” • “The sad thing is that the important messages have been lost,” she said. “Trustworthy guidelines used to depend on who were the organizations or the people they came from.” Today, though, “the public should know we don’t have great information on diet,” Laine said. “We shouldn’t make people scared they’re going to have a heart attack or colon cancer if they eat red meat.” • #nutrition #nutritionist #meat #meateater #eatplants #eatvariety #eatdiverse #organmeat #pasturedmeat #quality #healthyanimals #regenerativeagriculture #localgrown #eatlocal #omnivore
Agree? • I had to give up lots of things to regain my health. Mostly certain foods, some for months and others for years. Now I can eat most foods, real foods that is. • I also had to give up my intense work ethic, that in hindsight, was not a healthy trait. I’d put my job over pretty much anything. Very unbalanced. I know that not everyone can have a optimal work/life balance. • I’m grateful to have the opportunity to work while also doing the important things that help me stay healthy. • #friday #fridaythoughts #health #healing #hippocrates #believeinyourself

🌟DO YOU AZURE? I DO, ALMOST EVERY MONTH!🌟 • Here I am placing my order, doing some grocery shopping from my computer! Azure Standard has been such a helpful asset as I transitioned away from eating processed food. They are also an organic farm who has been farming organically since the 1970’s. • SHOPPING WITH AZURE SAVES ME TIME AND MONEY! • If you are looking for ways to eat well on a budget, Azure Standard should be on your radar. They have monthly drop spots across the United States. I can also help you get set up with Azure. Check the additional services of my website for more. I pretty much have their website and catalog memorized! • #azure #azurestandard #azuredrop #azurefarm #savetime #savemoney #healthyfood #eatwell #nutritionist
