Let's Talk About Nutrition

Since we were little children we've all heard that the importance of eating a healthy diet and proper nutrition. 

We can speak from experience, what you eat and put into your body matters.

We  recommend taking the time to learn about eating healthy, how certain foods affect you physically and emotionally.

A warm and festive Hello to each of you during this season of JOY
and PEACE. It can also be a season filled with land mines if we are
not present, and aware to make choices that serve us. During this
time of celebration,.we have the opportunity to gift each other with
self care. That self-care comes in the form of setting healthy
boundaries. When we set healthy boundaries around food, we allow
others to explore their own needs so that we are each taking
ownership for our health and well-being. Here are a few ways in
which you can claim ownership while making empowering choices
during this festive season.

• Pre-Plan your events: When you plan for an event, or meal, you have a structure to follow. One suggestion is to eat clean Monday through Friday so you can enjoy that one splurge meal on Friday night or Saturday. Then get right back to your structure the very next meal.
• Follow the 90/10 rule! Your body will respond to what you do 90 percent of the time. So one meal 'off' a scheduled program will not hurt you. Two meals 'off' will not hurt you. However having only one healthy meal a day will have detrimental effects on your progress.
• Notify your hostess or restaurant of any Wheat, Dairy, Nut or Soy allergies so they can better serve your needs.
• Ask for what you want in the restaurant rather than simply selecting off the choices provided within in the menu. As an example you can say “I would like 4 ounces of grilled salmon with two cups of steamed broccoli with no butter or salt added and a half a cup of rice.
• You can request your salad dressing be provided on the side. Remember this is about owning your nutritional needs.
• If the meal it at an awkward time
• Eat before you go. You can have a large salad with others, add some lean meat if you desire. Bottom line.
• DO NOT ARRIVE HUNGRY this will only lead to over eating then over groaning.
• If you are eating in a buffet style get-together, walk the entire food line before putting anything on your plate. Choose 2-3 items you would like to explore then put a small portion (tablespoon) of that item on your plate. You can always go back for more if you enjoyed it.
• Use a salad plate rather than a dinner plate at the buffet.
• Drink a glass of room temperature water before starting your meal. The water will aid your digestion and notify you sooner that you really are satisfied/full.
• Put your fork down between bites. Use smaller fork.
• Throw away your plate when you are finished eating. This will remove temptation of hand to mouth disease.
• Choose water or club soda with a twist of lime if you are at a group gathering where alcohol is being served. You do not have to have alcohol. Most folks simply want to make sure that you are OK...So if you are walking around with a club soda with a twist of lime or something similar you will most likely be left alone. Another consideration for alcohol is that it tends to turn your head towards high fat, high sodium and high sugared foods. By keeping to a club soda you will stick with your PLAN!!!
• Enjoy the conversation as you are eating. BE PRESENT!! BE CONSCIOUS!!

The never ending Office Cookie Plate ~ I used to laugh when I'd go into the conference room, see the table loaded with junk food, and listen to everyone complaining about gaining 30 pounds with grazing. With all that sugar in the body, not much work got done later either, but what to do with all that FOOD???

• Make a suggestion for all the food be placed in ONE spot, preferably a place you will not see or smell. Most over eating is a head game. If you can't see it, you won't want it. It is that simple.
• Suggest there be only ONE day for excess food.
• When you do eat the food, keep it to one room. Avoid taking it to your desk. That will only lead to mindless eating.

Eating with Purpose ~ Heaven or Hell!!! By Dr. Nadine

Eating with Purpose ~ Heaven or HELL!!!

Hello Glorious ICP Reader, and a HAPPY, JOY-filled day to you. 

The intention of this somewhat short note is to introduce myself and to see if what I have to offer, is of value to you.  Should you find value, then send a LIKIE LIKIE to Carol and Stacy so that I can write more in the Eating with Purpose series.

First, let me introduce myself... I am NADINE, a one of a kind Naturopath and Holistic Nutrition Specialist who also happens to be  an Intuitive or Clairvoyant.  What does all that mean?  Well, to put it mildly, I 'see' things going on internally with a body and have the tools/skills and knowledge to assist with the HEALING process either Energetically/Spiritually or Physically via NUTRITION.

I believe everyone is at CHOICE, and No is a perfectly good answer.  With that in mind, if what I write is not for you, simply say Thank You and leave it for the person it IS meant for.  On the other hand, should you choose LIKIE LIKIE, I will then break the series into parts (suggestions are listed below)  This first issue will focus on the concept of:   Heaven or HELL!!!

Let's jump in!  Towards the end of a consultation I was having in a Starbucks the other day, my potential client says “I know this is off topic, but do you believe in Heaven or Hell??

WOW, talk about a conversation closer... or opener in this situation.  He gave me a perfect opening, which I will admit I grabbed onto with both hands and smacked it on the butt.  YES I believe in HELL!!  I also believe that WE CREATE that HELL.  Just looking around Starbucks I saw a group of kids under 12 drinking frozen Sugar and Caffeine loaded drinks topped with whip cream (aka more sugar). PLEASE TELL ME, because I truly want to know, WHAT KID NEEDS all that SUGAR???  What KID needs all that stimulation?  What KID can handle the adrenal gland overload?  What KID can handle having their immune system shut down?  Or having a complete short circuiting of their central nervous system?  Talk about HELL.

Next I gazed upon a group of women loading their bodies with enough complex carbohydrates and sugar to spin their Insulin levels and Hormones OFF THE FREEKIN CHARTS.  Have we mentioned HELL???  You ask a woman in the middle of a HOT Flash what Hell feels like.. I am sure she will tell you.  Or ask a young woman suffering from PMS so bad she is doubled over in pain; or suffers from endometriosis, cysts, fibroids, mood swings, etc.  THAT in my book IS HELL!!!  And it is all created by what we put IN our Mouth.  We made the CHOICE to eat the very thing that created the havoc within the body.

Just then I looked down at what my potential client was eating:  a Wheat bagel topped off with a 2” thick 'smear' of cream Cheese.  As a side note: the combination of Wheat + Dairy form a very Nasty Gluey Pasty SLUDGE in the digestive track.  I had a very strong feeling
this man was going to Feel HELL within the hour.

The human body is an incredible healing machine and when given the support it needs, will heal itself, since all healing comes from within.  NUTRITION is the KEY!!! that opens the gateway to your overall health and well-being.  Nutrition sheds light on the possible source of any imbalance, ailment or physical issue you might be experiencing.

We are at CHOICE.  We CHOOSE what we put in our bodies.  We Choose what we teach our children.  We Choose what we Model for our children.  I believe that if we can unconsciously create that kind of hell, we can CONSCIOUSLY create Heaven.  We are very Powerful Spiritual Beings.  To do the Spiritual work we came to do, we MUST be IN the physical body.  Eating nutrient dense foods will allow the body to settle down so the Soul can enter and integrate more fully (more on this later)
