NOW OFFERING NUTRITIONAL/BEHAVIORAL GUIDANCE.

I have been reading about the fight to stop obesity. Lately, there are new studies coming out about the effectiveness of targeting behaviors that lead to obesity. Since food is becoming just as addicting as drugs, experts are beginning to look at approaching obesity the same way they would ween an addict off of drugs or alcohol. One particular article is in Scientific American February issue and it looks beyond the science of metabolic pathways leading to obesity, and instead focusing on how the media and our society condones behaviors that are ultimately leading us to over-consume.

Ever heard of Weight Watchers? This is a perfect example of helping people lose weight by changing behaviors around food. The main cause for success is having a support group. If you tend to hang out with friends who do not exercise or eat unconsciously, chances are you will not make changes for long term weight loss success. You get the point. Half a century ago, B.F. Skinner, a psychologist at Harvard,  developed the notion that scientists cannot really know what goes on inside a person's brain (even with modern technology) in order to help them lose weight and keep it off. Identifying the correlation between environment and behavior may sound like common sense, but needs to be discussed in order to help people keep the pounds off.

In light of these half century old notions being brought up today, I have decided to offer nutritional guidance, incorporating behavioral analysis into the science behind helping future clients make long term changes in health and wellness.  I feel this is the missing link I have been looking for. Instead of just telling you what to eat and what not to eat, we will get to the root of your behaviors to help you guide yourself long-term. 


If this sounds like something you are interested in, please email or call me with inquires and we can set up a time to talk via telephone or in person. A payment scale for consultations and follow-up guidance varies from client to client.
