Nutritional Counseling

Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease

In 1995 Gini discovered that she has gluten intolerance. As a result of her own personal experience and working others with Celiac disease and gluten intolerance, she has become an expert in this field.

An estimated 3 million Americans have celiac disease. The medical community doesn’t define celiac disease as an allergy but as an autoimmune disorder where nutrients aren’t properly absorbed in the small intestine. The culprit is gluten, a sticky protein found in a vast array of natural and manufactured ingredients and food products including wheat, barley, and rye flours that provide the tender, elastic texture in that slice of bread. It is estimated that the condition affects one in every 130 people worldwide, and it is undiagnosed in about 90 percent of Americans who have it.

In addition to celiac disease, there are a range of medical conditions that are related to gluten intolerance. It is also possible to have symptoms as a result of non-celiac gluten intolerance.

Weight Loss

A unique approach to weight loss. This is not a diet. It is a lifestyle change. The goal is permanent and safe weight loss through nutritional education, eating awareness training and exercise. Achieving overall health is the key. You will begin by cleansing the body to prepare for weight loss. This cleanse will clear the liver of substances that cause free radical damage. The liver directly effects metabolism. You will then begin this unique rotational program. Each week you will learn a new eating pattern. We will make gradual changes in your lifestyle and eating habits. By changing your eating patterns weekly you will continuously stimulate your metabolism.

Most people experience some weight loss in the beginning of a weight control program. Then, weight loss suddenly stops and you become discouraged. This unique rotational program keeps weight loss consistent and allows you to still enjoy eating. You will never count calories or weigh and measure food.

Most clients say,”I do not feel like I’m on a diet!” and  “This is so easy and I can still go out to dinner.”
