Nutrition Consultations

Book a Nutrition/Wellness Consultation with Shawn Today!

Food is our fuel, our source of vitality, our nourishment and so is our sleep, breath and lifestyle habits. We all know the basics of what we should and should not do but sometimes we need a little guidance and inspiration is all that is needed to get us back on track or inspire us to get started on our personal healthier journeys. Sometimes it is just a matter of a few changes that can make all the difference.

Why Are Nutrition Appointments Helpful?

It used to be that eating right was simply a matter of common sense. Eating less animal fat, more fiber and more vegetables were ways to ensure a healthy diet. And they still are. But today we speak of omega-3 fatty acids, soluble and insoluble fiber, phytochemicals, low and high glycemic index carbohydrates, not to mention prebiotics and probiotics.

Sound complicated? It often is. That’s where Shawn comes in. She helps you translate science-based nutrition information into a realistic and manageable eating plan that’s sustainable. Shawn will help you navigate the grocery store, restaurant menus and the supplement aisle in health food stores.

Whether your goal is to lose excess weight, lower cholesterol or blood glucose, improve your energy level, ask about your supplements or simply stay healthy as you age, working one-on-one with Shawn will give you the tools and support you need to eat healthfully today – and for the long term.

One on One Nutrition Consultation or Family Consultations 🙂

Initial Consultations are 90 minutes in length and all follow-up appointments are 6o minutes in length.

Initial Appointment:

After filling out and submitting forms (Health History, Food Journals, WISE form and submitting test result of your choice).  I will review all of this information prior to appointment.  We will then discuss your health and wellness concerns, I will answer your questions and together we will plan the first steps in your healthy journey to allow you to reach your goals.

Follow-up Appointments:

These a wonderful appointments that can take place as often as you feel necessary to allow you to continue to make the healthiest choices for your overall health and wellness.  It is a wonderful way to stay motivated and to continue to discuss your  successes, challenges, and ask questions.

Improved Health is truly a journey note a destination.

Shawn will guide you through the what, where, how and when to eat including healthy recipes plus discuss your supplementation needs if necessary.

What a wonderful way to begin your “Healthy Journey” or to stay motivated on your “Healthy Journey”.

It is always so beneficial to be able to ask questions regarding your lifestyle, diet and and/or supplements.

You can personalize your appointment to suit your needs and wants.  It is an wonderful hour, well spent.

What a fun way to learn how to shop healthy – easily!

Family Nutrition Appointments

These appointments are very popular with families as it can be challenging to inspire your spouce, and/or children to eat healthier at any age.  I love working with family’s of all ages because when a family is all on the same page and understands a little bit more about nutrition it makes planning meals and snacks that much easier.  Good nutrition is so important at every age and it can difficult to discuss and to inspire your own family members to make healthier choices.  This is where Shawn comes in and these appointments have helped so many families get back on track with less resistance.  All we want is for our family members to stay as healthy as possible and this is an easier way to do that.
It is important to be able to answer questions without judgement and make learning fun!
If everyone learns together and family members feel like they are taking responsibility of their own health with a common goal, these wonderful changes are much easier.
  • Free 15-Minute Appointments allow you to discuss some important topics for everyone.
  • Family Nutrition Appointment are 2 – 3 hours in length via Facetime or Zoom. Family members can come on to ask their questions or stay for the entire appointment.
  • Follow-up email with some of the shared information
  • Follow-up one hour phone chat with anyone from the family – preferably mom and/or dad.

*Being a mom of 4 healthy active grown children ages 29, 31, 33 & 35 years of age has prepared me well and yes, they all eat well:)

Testimonials

Dear Shawn  “I  wanted to tell you that our talks really do help to ground me – sometimes I start to wander down the crazy train weight loss path where I see others on these silly fad diets and I think maybe I should partake in them as well – then I have a conversation with you and realize – YES!! I am on the right path and this is the only way to heal myself and feel good.  The weight is just an annoying side effect to my years of bad habits and now that I have made the change to healthy lifestyle it will get tired of hanging around and leave soon enough.  The extra pounds are like that one person at the party that doesn’t know enough to go home.  I am excited for my future”.

Hey Shawn!

I really enjoyed our chat-session as well!
You have a kindness about you that draws people in, making it easy to talk to you on various subjects.
As an FYI, I daily take 4000 IU’s of ”D”; 100 of a B supplement & have now reduced my B12 from 2000 to 1000 (after several years of being at 2000).
You’re already aware of the Juice+ capsules of 3-3-3 of the purple, green & red. These whole food capsules have changed my life
I am just realising how much I’ve improved over the past 4 years.
Thank you for all you do for others, but mostly for your personableness (‘if that’s a word).
Talk soon!!
Joe

Thank you Shawn 😊

 

I’m doing very well, Dr called and said that all my blood work came back at optimum levels.

Thanks to you, juice plus and supplements 👍🏻

Hi Shawn,

It’s been a few years since I last walked with you and since I had my session with you about bone health. I hope you and your family are all well.

When I first came to talk with you, I had been diagnosed with osteopenia bordering very closely on osteoporosis. My doctor wanted me to go on medication but I was very reticent to do that. She told me that of all her patients, she had more confidence in me trying some alternatives (nutrition and exercise!) and said we could hold off for a year. Well, I’m so happy to say that after four years, I have pulled myself right out of the danger range. She says that if it weren’t for the fact that my mother had osteoporosis (in her 90’s) that I now wouldn’t even be considered at risk – even though I am a textbook candidate … small-boned, fair, and 71 years old 🙂

After three years in a row of bone density tests, I now have been moved to an every second year schedule – and I’m holding my own! I really had no idea that you could improve your bone density until you told me that it was entirely possible with nutrition and exercise. Sadly, I haven’t used my poles in a few years, but I do walk almost daily. I do squats and wall push-ups; I eat so many more fruits and vegetables, and I include in my daily diet prunes, nettle tea, molasses, and Natto powder.

Last night, I began watching a docuseries on Remedy: Ancient Medicine for Modern Illness. It’s about herbs. It made me think of you, and as I had just received your latest email about nutrition and exercise, I felt I owed you a long-overdue thank you!

So Thank You for your knowledge and your encouragement. I’m certain you continue to help so many people each and every day attain their goals of better health naturally.

Take care.

Leslie

Hi Shawn:  ‘Just a very quick note to thank you for the great and thorough work you did on the handouts.
I SO enjoyed our talk!  You are such an inspiration and so very knowledgeable.  I feel that we are on exactly the same page (though I’m not nearly as disciplined or focused as you are) and our meeting went so much better than the one I had with the dietician.
This is going to be a challenge for life but I’m looking forward to it…..Thank you SO much.
‘Looking forward to our next meeting and maybe seeing you on the trails when the snow melts.
Bye for now.  With sincere gratitude,
Barb

Dearest Shawn

Thank you so much for thinking of me. I’m enjoying the benefits of taking my supplements. I’ve noticed a marked difference with my stomach issues by taking the probiotics. I’m currently studying and learning how to make organic, non-GMO, gluten free sour dough bread. I’m motivated to make some to help myself and my autistic grandson  with his diet. I’m making it from scratch and I’m amazed at how much there is to learn.
Shawn, I really appreciate you and your thoughtfulness, always thinking of others and helping whenever you can. You surely are a treasure!  We are the lucky ones to have you in our lives.
Bárbara
Dear Shawn
I’ve joined the Shred 10 this month and would like to order the juice plus complete plus shakes. I’ve never liked shakes but since I’ve followed everything you’ve told me to do I’ve had an amazing recovery so I will like to add the shakes to my diet! Chocolate!
Thank you for putting all those articles together. I have to tell you that eating an anti inflammatory diet which is plant based, taking juice plus, walking every day a minimum of 30 minutes (at the moment with a walker but I walk fast- proactive to avoid slips and falls) my body has recuperated beyond all medical expectations. I can walk pain free after a spinal compression fracture and broken ankle (both tibia and fibula broken and reinforced with metal). From August until September I was utterly  incapacitated flat on my back and couldn’t even sit. From September until November was in a wheelchair and couldn’t stand. Learned to walk from November- December in a water tank that had a treadmill. By the end of January I could walk and move pain free! It’s a miracle!

Hello Shawn,

Thank you for making time out of your very busy schedule to spend time with me to discuss my overall health. I am very grateful for all the health topics you spoke to me about.  I cherish all of your knowledge and only wished I could have met you earlier on in my life. I know it would have made a significant difference and I wouldn’t be dealing with my current health issues.  I have always been interested and been involved in fitness and have consulted several nutritionists and dietitians, however, have never received the information and explanations that you shared with me.  You are my angel.

I have now had an opportunity and quiet 2 – 3 hours today to read and re-read the Nutrition Recommendations and listen to the three video attachments.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and spent the afternoon in No Frills and Walmart reading most of the products in the organic aisle and in the cooler section before actually shopping.

I’m now on my life long journey to a healthier, happier life and my husband of course will be a part of that.

Kindest regards always,

Carol

Your a bright beautiful star

Thank you for arranging the nutrition meeting today with Shawn.  I definitely learned a lot.  We will go the “smoothy route” as that seems like the most efficient way to get important nutrients in to our body. Julie called and was wondering how the telephone meeting went.  It was definitely informative.  Julie is going to come over for a visit on Sunday a.m. with her recipes for smoothies and also protein supplements.  That will be her birthday gift to your dad.  We will get our blender down and create space on the counter so that each morning we can put together a nutritious drink.  Jeremy has one every morning for breakfast.  Anyhow, I just wish to thank you for organizing the virtual meeting.  It was definitely very worthwhile.  We shall chat later.

Hugs and lots of love, Mom and Dad xo

Hi Shawn week 3 of waking up taking deep breath and glass of water.  Today I noticed a shift things still crazy but I feel calm and not anxious about anything that sits heavy in my heart. Everything will be fine everything will work out.  Everything that I need help with or want will happen.  Thank you Shawn Love you to the moon and back

Sara

Thank you for everything. It was wonderful to meet and spend time with you on Sunday. Truly an amazing experience for me. I already received the probiotics this afternoon and took the first one after dinner. Really appreciate how quickly we have started to work and so look forward to sharing this powerful healing & reawakening journey with you! You have instantly become my very special friend and mentor.

Rita

“Thank you very much for your time, knowledge and patience yesterday. I felt bad taking more of your time than was scheduled, but now I know why a timer is necessary. I could have listened to you all night long.

I brought some tips home to Deborah and I kept hearing “that’s a great idea” and “I told you so”. LOL. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home and found the Squirrele bread and almond butter (guess what I’m having for dinner tonight). I also put a celery stock in my smoothie this morning, great idea and I barely noticed it. Over the next week or so, I will slowly be converting my pantry and fridge over. Sugar OUT, veggies IN.  Thank-you so much!

Pina

Thank you for all your knowledge, energy, time and enthusiasm.  I sure learned a lot from you and have already started putting into action some of your recommendations.  Started.  Lots more to go.  And I’m so grateful for that.

I’ll be in touch with some questions and to let you know my schedule for a follow-up chat.

BTW, the breathing has already made a difference!

With Gratitude to have you as a key player on my healing journey,

Sandra

Hi Shawn,

“How are you? Just wanted to give you an update on my dad. I have great news. My dad had his ultrasound in July. We just had an appointment with his cardiologist to discuss the results. When my dad was diagnosed with congestive heart failure  almost 2 years ago, his heart was pumping at less than 20% pumping function.  After over a year of adding CoQ10 and Juice Plus to his ritual, I am happy to announce that his results show full improvement. Normal pumping function for a man is 52% I am told. His ultrasound indicates normal pumping function if not better.  Amazing!

p.s. When I told the cardiologist about the CoQ10 over one year ago, he dismissed it. On Thursday, he mentioned that he has been recommending it to his patients on statin drugs.  Let’s just say I never gave in. 😉

Thank you for everything. Take care”.

Thank-you for yesterday Shawn

You are a charismatic & super smart lady, you network beautifully and with utmost sincerity and honesty, because you practise what you preach, and care deeply about the health and welfare of the individual client.

“The absolute best nutritional appointment I have ever had.  It was a great one hour on the phone – quick, easy, fun and inspiring!  Thanks Shawn.  I look forward to talking with you again”

John, Oakville

On the start of my journey for better mental and physical health, I was fortunate

to find the help I need to succeed with your professional guidance and support.

I hit the wall November 2017, with no energy, severely depressed with very black thoughts,

my weight was  272lbs, my blood sugar was not under control, I couldn’t sleep, bowels were a mess,

had a chronic cough, and still had menstrual periods. There was a lot of stress in my life over many years,

which wasn’t letting up, and I just couldn’t cope any more. In January 2018, I started asking for help. After some disasterous first steps, I started on my current path of healthy balanced eating and living, and this is where I am to date, approx 6 months later:

  1. Normal blood glucose readings
  2. Normal blood pressure
  3. Current weight 225
  4. NO COUGH
  5. NO PERIODS
  6. Better sleep
  7. Regular bowel movements
  8. Happier, easier going, better family relationships
  9. More energy, better focus
  10. Enjoy activities again

Going forward, I want to continue on this learning journey, to help my anxiety issues and panic attacks,keep my blood glucose regulated so I won’t have to take prescription meds, become more physically fit, so my sagging skin has a better frame to fit on, and lose another 50lbs, but all in good time.

Learning what my body and head need takes time. Here’s to the next 6 months!

More Details About: Nutritional Consulting with Shawn

There was a time when eating correctly was just common sense. We were told to eat less fat and more vegetables. Today nutrition has become complicated because of terms like Trans fats, fat-free, Paleo, gluten, dairy free, healthy fats, omega-3 fats, phyto chemicals, soluble and insoluble fibre, fasting, intermittent fasting, glycemic index and on and on. Our grocery store shelves are full of “food-like” products that further complicate the situation because of all their brightly packaged health claims.

Advertising has made nutrition sound complicated. This is where Shawn can help you. Shawn will simplify the science-based nutritional information that is in the media today and explain it in an easy to follow nutritional plan designed specifically for you so you can reach your personal goals.

Whether your goal is to shed excess weight,  balance your blood sugar, lower your cholesterol or blood pressure, boost energy or simply stay healthy as you age, working one-on-one with Shawn will give you the tools and support you need to eat healthfully today – and for the long term.

Forms to fill out prior to your First Appointment

Once you have decided the time is right to make permanent changes to your nutrition, health and or fitness you can book your Initial Nutritional Appointment with Shawn. You will be sent via mail or e-mail the following forms: A Health questionnaire, a WISE questionnaire and a Food Journal Sheet. You can download the Health questionnaire and Food Journals, fill them out and bring them with you to your initial appointment with Shawn. The WISE questionnaire can be filled out on line, if possible and e-mailed to Shawn prior to your initial appointment so that Shawn can get a head start on your nutritional assessment prior to your first appointment.

Your initial consultation appointment with Shawn

During this initial 3 hour meeting, Shawn will gather more information from you. She’ll ask about your risk factors for disease, lifestyle habits, medications, and nutrition supplement use. She’ll also walk you through a detailed diet history to learn your eating/meal schedule, your portion sizes and, of course, your food preferences. Based on this information, Shawn will prepare your “Nutritional & Lifestyle Recommendations” that will be discussed at this time also so you can begin making healthy changes right away!!

Follow-up appointments with Shawn

Your “Follow-up appointments” and all consecutive appointments can be one on one appointments -3 hours in length or some also enjoy booking one hour phone consults to stay on tract – 1 hour in length.

There is always so much to learn and so much to share and this is a wonderful way to stay on tract, ask questions and decide what steps are best to take.

Shawn can also discuss with you a customized meal plan that will outline the times, portion sizes, appropriate food combinations and suggestions for healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks with foods that you enjoy.
