Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. Hippocrates

Don’t you just love it when all things go your way: when your body is healthy and strong, your endurance steady and the food you eat is both nourishing and enjoyable - it makes us feel on top of the world.

Everyone wants to feel good – I do believe that. And food is one way to get there. Let’s be honest, there is great quality nutrition and then there is non food. The distinction is clear, you know it - it’s not difficult to figure out what works and what makes you feel tired, moody or bloated. One way to know how well you feed yourself is the odor of your body, breath and elimination.

When you work with us at Living in Balance, we ask you lots of questions about your habits, your daily routine, your diet, your stress triggers, your cravings, how you react to scent, about your predominant moods, and when you feel you are at your best.

Food is fuel for the body – in that we are mostly the same. Where we differ is in everything else about food. I don’t believe we can go by statistics when nourishing people. Bodies need different things at different times of life. These need to be taken into account. Personalizing food intake and shifting the type and timing of eating, experimenting with new combinations, making super foods part of our diet go hand in hand with feeling good.

The body mind connection is also a factor – our environment influences our wellbeing – every cell in your body is listening to you respond or react. When we eat with fearful thoughts – the food is laced with that energy. In rejoicing over the meal, this is appreciated by our body.

Our perception has great power over our DNA – Dr. Bruce Lipton is at the forefront of this new biology. www.brucelipton.com where he explains that our environment is far more important to our health than previously thought. By being aware of our focus when we eat and any other time promotes a better life experience.

It is natural to be uneasy around changing one’s diet. So much of our life is centered around food. A very real issue for many people is that making change may alienate traditions and habits of those around you. To be the brunt of jokes by those who are not supporting your efforts can be quite painful.
