About Me
Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food...
Why integrative nutrition?
Hi, I'm Vera, a qualified and certified nutrition health coach, with a passion to help people live their healthiest and happiest lives. Health is made up of all aspects of your life, from what foods you eat, medicines or supplements you take, and to how you move and look after your body and mind. I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where I learned innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary theories.
My education has equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and prevention. Drawing on my expertise, I work with my clients to help make lifestyle changes and choose health-promoting ways that produce real and lasting results. You will develop a deeper understanding of food and lifestyle choices that work best for you, improving your energy, balance, health, and happiness.
CANCER PREVENTION & TREATMENT
It is estimated that as many as 41% of people currently living in the United States will develop some form of cancer within the next 20 years. This translates to about 130 million individuals – a truly shocking statistic. Still, no one imagines that they will get the diagnosis that will forever change their life. Cancer changes everything, there is life before cancer and life after cancer. In December 2018, my youngest sister, Nikoleta was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Synovial Sarcoma, sadly Nikoleta lost her battle on December 10, 2020. Moving forward in life without her has been extremely difficult, she was my other half. I was with her every step of the way. I researched every possible treatment that she could do, consulted, and saw various doctors from top cancer doctors to holistic and integrative doctors. I had gained so much insight and knowledge but at the time I did not know how to process all the information. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t say “If I knew then what I know now, would she still be here?” Nikoleta asked for me to continue fighting for her and that’s what I will do until the day we meet again. Fighting for her means me fighting for all cancer patients. I urge you if you are diagnosed with any type of cancer to do your own research, ask questions, or reach out to me directly.
Primary Food
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these primary foods are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.
Personalized Nutrition
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating for your genes. A DNA- based program unique to you to help you achieve your goals. Based on foods that your love, you learn to adopt this methodology as a lifestyle. You get the results you desire without giving up things that you love. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you along the way.
