Frequently Asked Questions: Nourish & Flourish
What is the benefit of seeing a Registered Dietitian (RD) vs. a health coach?
In the world of wellness, credentials matter. As a Registered Dietitian (RD), I am a licensed medical professional with extensive clinical training in nutrition science. While a health coach may offer general tips, an RD provides evidence-based medical nutrition therapy. When you work with me, you’re getting advice that is scientifically sound, safe, and tailored to your specific health history.
Do you offer nutrition counseling in Illinois?
Yes! Nourish & Flourish is locally owned and operated in Round Lake, Illinois. I proudly serve clients throughout Lake County, including Grayslake, Libertyville, and Gurnee. For those outside of Northern Illinois, I also offer virtual nutrition coaching so you can access expert care from the comfort of your home.
How can I stop feeling guilty about what I eat?
This is one of the most common struggles my clients face. My 90-day program focuses on intuitive eating and moving away from the "all-or-nothing" diet mentality. We work on building a peaceful relationship with food by combining nutritional science with mindfulness. The goal isn't just a number on the scale; it's food freedom.
How does yoga fit into a nutrition program?
Nutrition is only one piece of the puzzle. As both a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Yoga Teacher, I believe that movement is a form of self-care, not a punishment for what you ate. We use yoga and mindful movement to help lower cortisol (stress), improve body image, and help you reconnect with your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues.
Is the Nourish & Flourish program suitable for busy parents?
Absolutely. In fact, it was designed with you in mind. I know that busy parents in Illinois don't have hours to spend meal prepping complex recipes. My approach focuses on sustainable, "real-life" nutrition strategies that fit into a hectic schedule without adding more stress to your plate.
What can I expect from the 90-Day Transformation?
Think of this as a reset for your lifestyle. You’ll receive personalized nutrition guidance, stress-management tools through yoga, and consistent support to help you implement habits that actually stick. We move beyond "quick fixes" to create a holistic plan that supports your long-term health and vitality.
