Holistic nutrition is a path that unexpectedly found Rosy, grew out of a passion and need for a healthier family, and changed her life for the better. Her journey started when her son was struggling with asthma, and it became apparent that nutrition was the missing piece in their wellness puzzle. As a holistic nutritionist, Rosy teaches the importance of reconnecting with our bodies and understanding the impact of our dietary choices on our overall health. We dissected a few key themes for our listeners and viewers, as summarized below.
One of the first things Rosy discovered was the impact of dairy on her son’s asthma. Dairy was causing mucus production, exacerbating his asthma, and hindering his recovery during flare-ups. Eliminating all dairy from his diet resulted in significant improvements within just five to seven days, lessening mucus, and heaviness, and helping to keep his asthma at bay. Now, in 2023, there are numerous dairy alternatives available, making it easier to maintain a dairy-free diet while still enjoying your favorite treats, but she made the sacrifice and the permanent switch when he was young, as soon as she saw the positive results.
Observing how our bodies respond to different foods is crucial in understanding our individual needs. For Rosy, adopting a gluten-free diet helped alleviate headaches. For me, it removed my bloatedness, intestinal problems, lethargy, and an overall feeling of not being ‘’well’.
Rosy explains that it is essential to notice how you feel after removing certain foods from your diet, a process often referred to as elimination or clean eating. This process involves removing potential irritants from your diet and observing the changes in your body. As our bodies and chemistry change over time, it is crucial to continuously observe and adapt our diets accordingly.
A common tendency is to consume the same foods repeatedly, which can lead to nutrient deficiencies and an increased risk of adverse reactions. A varied diet, rich in fresh, whole foods, can help reduce inflammation, alleviate symptoms, and minimize the risk of toxin buildup. Recently, most of Rosy’s clients have presented with digestive issues, often linked to inflammation. Addressing digestion and inflammation is a priority in her practice, as they are closely related and impact overall health.
Physical activity is also essential for well-being, but it is crucial to find exercise that you enjoy and is suitable for your body. Whether it’s gardening, walking, yoga, or running, regular movement is vital for maintaining health. Additionally, practices like meditation and yoga can help foster a deeper connection with our bodies and promote mental well-being.
Wellness is a holistic endeavor, encompassing diet, lifestyle choices, exercise, and mental well-being. As a holistic nutritionist, Rosy focuses on the whole person rather than isolated aspects of their health.
Ultimately, the key to transformation is acknowledging the need for change and seeking guidance on the journey towards a better version of oneself. It is not merely about setting goals but making lifestyle choices that support our well-being in the long term.
