A customized program that is suited to your lifestyle

I welcome clients with various dietary preferences who want to improve their health. I am interested in my client’s entire history with food—physical and emotional—and will construct a dietary program that is uniquely suited to your lifestyle. Although I choose to be a vegetarian, I will work with your own preferences and beliefs to build the program that works best for you.

Some of the services I offer include:

• Nutritional Assessment: includes detailed questionnaire regarding your health history and goals, dietary habits and a questionnaire regarding symptoms. Based on the answers you provide I design a customized package, which includes dietary, lifestyle and supplement recommendations along with supporting documentation. The nutritional assessment can be done in person, by phone or online.
• Grocery Store Tour: I walk through the grocery store with you and discuss foods to increase and foods to decrease, teach you how to read labels and avoid falling into marketing lingo and false promises. The grocery store tour is done in person and lasts approximately 1.5 hours.
• Kitchen Clean-up: Invite me to your home and I will review the products that you stock your fridge and pantry with and offer suggestions on how to improve your dietary habits to decrease cravings and poor eating habits. The clean-up is done in person and lasts approximately 1.5 hours.
• Personalized Menu Design: After discussing food habits and health goals I design a seven-day personalized menu to feed one person or a family based on food preferences and to help with nutritious eating and take the guess work out of how much calories, protein, etc. The menu design includes recipes (where applicable). The discussion can be done in person, by phone or online.
• Food Log Review: Not sure if you are eating right or need to tweak your eating habits? I will review your food log and offer suggestions on dietary and supplement recommendations.
• Writing and Editing of Health- and Nutrition-related Materials: Please contact me for more information.
• Speaking Engagements on Health- and Nutrition-related Topics: Presentations and workshops can be done in the workplace, school, community centre, gym, etc. I can provide nutrition education on any number of topics, including (but not limited to): pre- and postnatal nutrition, pediatric nutrition, weight loss programs, helping manage conditions such celiac disease, diabetes, etc.

I can customize services for individual needs so please feel free to contact me (stefaniam@ingredientsforlife.ca) with questions. I can provide services in person, over the phone and by e-mail.
