I also suggest buying at your local farmer’s market because buying your food fresh and supporting yout local farmer is very important.

Often you can get really fresh foods when you are at a farmers market plus it makes shopping so FUN and that is the key to healthy eating.

My goal is to help you access your Healthy Blueprint and that means teaching you what foods work for your unique body so you have endless energy, effortless weight loss and so you can ditch the diet forever. When you find the foods that WORK for your unique body, your metabolism improves, your digestion improves and you look and feel fabulous (which means better sleep, less colds, and clear thinking). Are you READY?
