Do you know how to eat? Don’t tell me what my kids say: “I open my mouth and chew” How much does your diet contribute to your health? We know the answer is a great deal. Can food help prevent a disease or help stop a problem. ..yes. Yet, we still eat and drink what we shouldn’t. I hear people say they eat healthy but are not losing weight or their cholesterol is still high etc. Some of us try but are not sure what, when or how. We are different, so our body needs are different. Sounds complicated if you are not well educated in nutrition. While chatting with a client about food she told me about her nutritionist. She raved so much about her I had to find out more.
I went to her web page http://nancyguberti.com/ The sentences that stood out for me were “your health is worth it because you are worth it!” and “she develops individualized treatment regiments customized to her client’s health.” Well, yes I am worth it and my needs will be different from my husband’s needs.

I researched some more.
