RedShift Nutrition Philosophy

Our Approach

Understanding nutrition on a holistic level has become the cornerstone of my work with clients.

Over the past decade or so, I have worked in the fitness and wellness arena and have been so discouraged by watching well-meaning clients give it all to a fitness program, yet never see changes to their body. When they blame it on me (although they rarely do, as I teach ALL my clients about taking personal responsibility first), I remind them that they train with me about an hour a day 2 or 3 times a week. I’m curious…what are they doing the other 165-166 HOURS OF THE WEEK? They (and you) are absolutely insane if you think that 2-3 hours a week in the gym are going to get you to your health and wellness goals. That idea, which is held my many personal trainers and clients alike, is so one-dimensional, so archaic, so absolutely preposterous, it makes my blood boil just sitting here writing it.

I finally got upset enough to put myself through a year long program that certifies me by the state of California as a Nutrition Educator. This has been a great start, but it still doesn’t feel like enough. Therefore, I also am in the middle of studying my brains out (goodbye weekends!) to obtain my Masters Degree in Nutrition. That’s how serious about helping my clients truly understand that food is a drug. It literally can heal you or destroy you. And not just the food you chose, but also how you chose to eat it (in a car?), who you chose to eat it with (toxic relationships?) and how mindful and conscious you are while eating it (standing in front of the fridge?)

Working with your food choices and all that comes along with it can and will make the difference in succeeding in your health, wellness, and fitness goals!

Still wondering if you’re a match for my program?

Here are the Eight Signs Your’re Ready for Change:

1. You need my help or you wouldn’t have read this much in the first place. You’ve tried it on your own and it’s never worked. Do you know the definition of insanity? It’s when you keep trying the same things over and over and expecting different results. It’s time to stop the insanity and sign up for something that really works.

2. You know the only way you’ll actually see changes is to have full support and accountability from a true professional, not just your sister.

3. You’re sick of feeling tired. You’re sick of having no energy. You’re just plain sick of being sick.

4. You want to feel light, strong, and energetic again. You want to feel like you can make it through your day vibrantly…not dragging into Starbucks for a poisoned-pick-me-up.

5. You have a ton of self-respect and want to see your goals manifest. You know this is the way it will happen.

6. You are self-motivated, but need expert guidance in the realm of nutrition and fitness. Not to mention the wonders of accountability.

7. You realize that a cookie-cutter approach to fitness and nutrition does not serve you and you could get twice the results in half the time working in a focused manner with a nutrition and fitness professional.

8. You are sick of yo-yo dieting and yo-yo exercising. You realize the only path to true sustained health is to take responsibility for your actions and change your behaviors and habits one day at a time. This is when hiring a professional makes the most sense.
