I have finally
graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a holistic
health counselor. It's been an amazing year! I have learned so much
from Joshua (the founder of the school), my classmates, and speakers
such as Anne Marie Colbin, Marion Nestle, Dr.
Neal Barnard, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Andrew Weil and many others.
So, many of you may
be wondering what exactly is a holistic health counselor. As a health
counselor I help individual clients learn about food, nutrition and
healthy lifestyle. My approach is holistic, which means I also
incorporate other areas of your life.
A couple of weeks ago
I had a dinner cooking party with my very good friend Russell and his
cooking club members. Russell wanted an ethnic menu, something from my
past, so I opted for Brazilian food. The trick was to make some
modifications on the menu from traditional Brazilian food to a
healthier version, without the meat. Don't take me wrong, I'm not
opposed to meat, at least not the good quality organic version, and
consumed in moderation. It all worked out wonderfully. We had a
marvelous time, all of us cooking together and learning. I will have
those dinner parties soon, and hopefully you will be able to join me
make wonderful and wholesome nutritious food.
