Have you ever received good advice that you were unable to follow? Has your doctor ever recommended a lifestyle change that you found to be unsustainable? Have you ever wanted something in your life, but found you couldn't achieve it alone? Health Coaches are knowledgeable advisors who provide ongoing support and guidance as you set goals and make sustainable changes that improve your health and happiness. As your Health Coach, I will listen carefully and help you to navigate the world of contradictory nutrition advice to determine what changes are necessary for you.

Some concepts that we will explore during our work together:

Bio-individuality: Each person has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences and ancestral background.

Primary Food: It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, physical activity and spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.

Integrative Nutrition Plate: The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health. 

With his exceptional whole food knowledge, Matt has helped me in so many ways. Already a healthy eater, I came to Matt several months ago in search of some additional “super foods” I could add to my diet for optimal health benefits. He was a wealth of knowledge, and off the top of his head began incorporating them into juice he was making for me. Not only did he help with new nutrients, he has also given me so many ideas for new recipes. Embarking on a long stay in Europe for work, Matt is vested in making sure I not only eat healthy when he is making my almost daily juice but that I also have the knowledge and skill to be able to do it myself while away. He is truly committed to helping his clients begin and maintain a healthy diet. His desire to go above and beyond makes him one of my favorite all-time teachers! Lynn T.

Due to my girlfriend's diagnosis with stage 4 colon cancer, I have relied on Matthew's expertise in the health and wellness field countless times. There are a select few in this field, who because of their passion and high level of expertise, are in my opinion set apart from the rest. Matthew is one of those few. He consistently displays the highest level of professionalism, work ethic and sound judgment with every query. Matthew's broad knowledge in his field is superior and his recommended courses of action always exceed my expectations. Without reservation, I hereby attest to his excellent reputation and with the utmost confidence, would recommend him for the highest consideration. Paul B.
