Nutritional Consultation and Personalize Health Plan
We are all very different; we should be treated this way. One person’s allergy is another’s tonic. A Personalized Health Plan is therefore very individual - focusing on finding the “root cause” of your illness, and bringing it back into balance. Using information about you collected from a diet diary; symptoms, health, and lifestyle take home checklists; and a 1-1.5 hour information gathering interview, Angela compiles an individualized picture of your present health and nutritional imbalances.
In Session 1 and subsequent monthly sessions, a holistic plan to rebalance your health will be implemented. This includes ‘the story of…’(your personalized health picture); dietary, lifestyle, and supplementary ‘suggestions’; plus recipes and facts sheets relevant to you. Each subsequent session implements new changes that will bring you closer and closer to optimal wellness. By the end of our time together, you will be able to simply maintain the wellbeing you have achieved. All sessions are available in person or by phone/email.

Dietary or Supplement Assessments
Looking for the hidden sources of extra calories, want to know if you are eating a proper balance of macronutrients, or have questions about the supplements you are presently taking? A Diet Assessment looks at your current eating habits and provides you with a list of tips to increase the balance and nutritional value of your current diet. Using Metabolic Profiling questionnaires, it can be determined which food groupings should be your priority and which should be monitored.
In a Supplemental Assessment, your symptoms and deficiencies are taken into account to give you more information on which supplements are best for your individual situation.
Either of these 1 hour sessions will provide you with a great understanding of changes specific to you for optimal health. A great place to kick-start your journey, or a great gift for others.

Workplace Lunch ‘n’ Learn Seminars
Wellness is the focus of many workplaces lately, and there are many reasons why. An article entitled Overweight And Obesity Linked To Increased Short-Term Disability published in the November 2006 Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine concludes “Successful weight management initiatives should reduce short-term disability expenditures, improve worker productivity, and lessen the indirect costs associated with overweight and obesity.” A healthy workforce means less sick days, higher productivity, and less stressed employees.
There are many topics to choose from, including
• Top Five Changes for Wellness
• Cancer Prevention and Nutrition
• Nutrition 101
• Label Reading 101
• Detoxing your diet and life
or find a topic that is of interest to your staff and a workshop can be build to suit
Price dependent on duration, number of people, and location. Please email for a quote.
‘Ange’s presentation on How to Make Good Food Choices and Still Have a Life was a huge hit for our Human Resources department. She is so knowledgeable and has an amazing way of explaining concepts in ways that people can easily understand them. The program was definitely worthwhile and something that folks in our office are still talking about.’ - MW, Wilfred Laurier University
