If you consider that 80% of your immune system is in your gut and 99% of toxins and pathogens come in through your mouth via the food that you eat and the water that you drink, then it only makes sense that if you could control what goes into your mouth, then you could control your own health.

But what should go into your mouth anyway?

Streamlined Nutrition is a wellness company committed to answering that question for you in the most streamlined, efficient and individualized manner possible.

What makes us different? As wellness counselors, (unlike registered dieticians) we think of nourishment as two entwined elements:

1. the food that you eat
2. the things that nourish your soul (work, play, relationships, exercise, travel, etc.)

We also acknowledge and appreciate that one client’s poison may very well be another client’s fountain of youth.  No two clients are alike and one size definitely does not fit all.

In our minds there exists only one common denominator that holds true no matter how your eating habits and lifestyle (foodstyle) evolve or what health issues concern you: whole organic foods will always form the solid foundation for a disease-free life.  Hippocrates wasn’t kidding when he said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

Some people have a hard time determining just what an unprocessed food even looks like. General rule of thumb - it probably will not come in a can, a jar or a package…If it has a label the label will not display any ingredients that you cannot pronounce or do not recognize.  Annemarie Colbin, founder of The Natural Gourmet Institute in New York, often explains real food to her students by saying, “If it doesn’t grow, walk, fly or swim, it isn’t food.”

What do our clients look like? Well, 50-60% of our clients are doctor referred.  Usually these clients arrive with a long list of newly “forbidden” foods provided by their doctors.  We make it our business to open up a client’s food horizon to a whole new world of delicious exciting food that they never even knew existed.  More specifically, 80% of our clients are women ages 30-70, and 20% of our clients are married couples who participate in our programs together.   Some of our clients have serious health issues (About page for specific issues), while some of our  clients just want to tweak their current lifestyle a bit.  Still others might want to explore a vegan diet or maybe transition from a raw and living foods diet back to a flexatarian or pescatarian diet…given the toxic world we live in today where people microwave mostly processed food and eat it in their cars or on the run about 80% of our clients are accidents waiting to happen.  We lower their risk and make their health maintenance more sane and more fun.

Just like everybody else our clients are terribly confused by the many dietary philosophies and theories out there, and most of them have failed in their attempts at trying at least a few of them…Some part of any of these theories can help someone somewhere, but none of these  theories can take into account the bio-diversity of each individual.  Here at Streamlined Nutrition we don’t get bogged down by rules and theories vebatim.   Instead we find inspiration from elements of both Western and Holistic dietary traditions (bullet points below), and then we pick and choose the elements from those theories that we believe will work best, not for everyone, but for you.

Some of the philosophies and traditions we examine:

• Atkins Diet - South Beach Diet - Zone Diet - Weight-watchers
• Blood Type Diet/Paleo Diet
• Body Ecology Diet
• Glycemic Index & Gycemic Load
• Specific Carbohydrate Diet/Gluten-Free Diet
• Mediterranean Diet
• Food Combining/Acid & Alkalizing Diet
• Vegetarian, Vegan, Flexatarian
• Chinese Medicine/Macrobiotics/Ayurveda
• Living and Raw Foods/Cleansing and Detoxification
• Functional Medicine

We know that deciding what to eat, cooking and shopping for it yourself and fitting exercise and relaxation into your life can seem overwhelming at first…our goal is to streamline your efforts for you and open your eyes to a world of delicious whole unprocessed foods that will form the foundation of your health for the rest of your life.

Won’t you let us help you build a food foundation? You will never look back.
