In my practice, I often treat people who aren’t as healthy as they want to be. They feel tired, worn-out, not quite right. They get frequent infections, headaches, and digestive upsets. They have so little energy that they feel older than their chronological age.
They come to me because they want their health and energy back. Once I’m sure they don’t have anything medically wrong with them, I work with my patients to renew their capacity for a vital, active life.
A crucial first step is to look at a patient’s diet, because what we eat has a profound effect on how we feel. For many of my patients, years of unbalanced eating turns out to be a major part of their constant exhaustion and poor functioning.
When we start talking about diet, many patients insist that they eat well. When we talk more, however, it’s clear that they don’t eat well at all. In fact, between trendy diets and all the dietary misinformation that floats around in magazine articles and online, they’ve often ended up eating in ways that are often just wrong for them despite their best intentions.
Every person is different. A diet that works well for one person may be completely wrong for someone else. And even a diet that works well for you now may not work as well at a different time of year, or when your life circumstances change.
That’s why I’m so glad to be writing this foreword to Holli Thompson’s Discover Your Nutritional Style. Holli knows, from her own experience and from her training and experience as a health coach, how vital it is to craft a diet that is right for you. More important, she understands that things change. The style that keeps you feeling well-fed and healthy may change as you change.
Holli has often worked with me to coach participants through my cleansing process. I know from my own experience that she truly understands the value of doing a safe, gentle cleanse as a way to renew your body and shake off the effects of the toxins that surround us and the toxic effects of stress. Cleansing isn’t always easy, and Holli is wonderful at helping people solve their issues with it. She’s even better at encouraging them to make the long-term dietary changes that help them stick with a healthier lifestyle.
Holli is a creative problem-solver and an empathetic, well-trained health coach. I’m delighted that she’s written a book that incorporates her ideas and her enthusiasm. Use this book to discover your own Nutritional Style and learn to lead a happier and healthier life.
