Program Principles
WHOLE FOOD NUTRITION
​
Focusing on whole foods, which just means food that comes from the ground or has a mother is important. Those foods are more nutrient-dense, have fiber, and will promote a more stable blood glucose level. We focus on eating the right amount of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to fuel our bodies properly. This allows you to have the energy needed to effectively give back to your family, friends, church, and community.
SLEEP
Sleep is an essential bodily function that allows your body and mind to recharge. Healthy sleep is important for cognitive functioning, mood, mental health, and cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and metabolic health. So if you are wanting to improve your health in any way, sleep needs to be a the top of your list of priorities.
MACRO COUNTING
​
A macro is short for macronutrients. The macros we focus on are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It’s important to have the right amount of each of these macros for your body to function properly and balance your hormones. A certified macro nutrition coach can help you determine the right quantity of each macronutrient to help you achieve your goals!
WATER
​
Water is essential for every bodily function. But how much water is enough? Typically about half your body weight in ounces of water daily is enough. The truth is, most people confuse thirst and hunger, often mistaking the former for the latter. Studies have shown that 37% of people mistake thirst for hunger because thirst signals can be weak. So, if you are on a weight/fat loss journey, it's really important to drink enough water so you don't confuse those hunger cues.
QUICK AND EFFECTIVE EXERCISES
​
It's important to move your body every day in a way that is accessible to you. That might mean walking, low-impact exercises, or a full gym workout.
Accountability and Support
​
Accountability and support from a certified nutrition coach, are keys to success!
