When I first came to hear about the concept of “personalized weight loss”, my approach towards dietary advice changed and has never been the same since.
The reason I first became involved in helping clients with their unique weight loss goals was because I struggled for years with my weight and I tried so many diets out there. I prayed asking for a solution and my answer was what is at the root of the problem for myself and a lot of people. It’s the common thread that runs through every diet program out there, and it’s a difficult enemy to beat. But, it’s only part of the solution. Because, so much damage has been done to wreak havoc on our bodies, that we need a personal strategy to experience success. My mission is to help others defeat this common enemy, with what works best for them, because there are so many “magic bullet” diets out there, many of which carry the risk of causing nutrient deficiencies and actually become detrimental to someone’s health!
After dedicated research and science-based training, understanding how personalized weight loss advice works gave me the opportunity to safely help my clients with their health and wellness goals.
The science behind personalized weight loss advice is incredibly extensive and is focused on the individual. There is a great deal to communicate to you about it than what I will have a chance to share in this blog, but please take the time to understand the basics.
If you embark on a personalized plan with me, there will be a lot more information that I will be sharing with you – primarily about you. In the meantime, please accept my assurances that watching this will be worth it.
There is a secret that those of us who keep up to date with the latest science know:
When it comes to nutrition, what works for one person, has little to no effect on a second person, and can actually make a third person worse.
Promoters of popular diets encounter this scenario at some point: They read something out there and how it was successful in helping people. They put it forward to a client and it works wonderfully, but then when recommending the same protocol to another client, they discover that it fails.
The problem is: many people follow “hear-say” or recommend what worked for them (which may not work for someone else), leaving out the person’s unique situation and nutrient needs.
Most of us can relate to this. It is exactly the same experience of the person wanting to lose weight by trying a friend’s successful weight-loss system, only to find that it causes her to gain weight instead!
It is the experience of the weekend warrior who encounters intense cravings on the revolutionary low-carb diet that her work colleague is enjoying rich success with.
It is a tremendous irony that we find ourselves amongst an extraordinary information overload with the internet and social media. However, instead of bringing greater clarity, we find the confusion only deepening.
More books and websites than ever before are available on diet and nutrition. Yet, everywhere we look, we find contradictions. One weight loss “expert” says one thing; another “expert” says just the opposite.
Information is at our fingertips, but what does it mean in terms of practical application in an individual case?
Where is the framework or the reference point from which sense can be made of the virtually endless stream of seemingly unrelated and contradictory pieces of information?
It is not possible to offer one single weight loss protocol for everyone.
Why? Because everyone’s biochemistry is different. Even between people within the same family and with similar genetics!
There is no “universal” diet plan that is right for absolutely everyone. And that’s actually good news.
It means that we need to look at the individual and evaluate what works for that individual specifically.
For that reason, scientific research is moving towards a more individualized approach, and the primary application of personalized nutrition has been formulated into specific evaluation systems and proprietary methodologies developed by leading scientists and researchers, whom I had the privilege to learn from.
To achieve your weight loss goals, you must give your body the specific foods and nutrients that are inherently necessary to you and your current state of health and have a tailored plan that works for (and not against) your body.
