My Approach

​

I can help you successfully merge a plant-based, vegetarian or vegan diet with a low-carbohydrate, high fat and/or ketogenic lifestyle.  This unique coaching style can help you navigate the intersection of two distinct dietary patterns ensuring you achieve the fat burning state of ketosis without having to rely on meat, saturated fats, dairy, or seafood if you choose not to.  

 

How I help... 

Nutrient Monitoring: 

We can cover and track essential vitamins and minerals that can run low on this type of dietary approach such as B12, Vitamin D, zinc, iodine, and crucial omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA. 

 

Macronutrient Calculations:  

I can assist you in ensuring that you are taking in the correct distribution of protein, fat and carbohydrate based on your personal health goals.  I can help you skip the confusion on food choices that allow you to maintain nutritional ketosis while sourcing fats and protein purely or partially from plant-based sources.

 

Behavior Change: 

I use motivational interviewing and system building to turn new lifestyle changes and complex dietary restrictions/changes into sustainable, stress-free daily habits.

 

Accountability & Inspiration:  

I can help you break overwhelming goals into manageable steps, and creating daily systems for you to follow.  Instead of chasing a single goal and outcome, we can focus on redirecting your actions and habits to align with your values and identity.  I can create an environment where you have regular check-ins, discuss problem solving, and can have an open discussion about progress and also limitations.  

​

Rather than using pressure, I coach as a judgment-free partner, keeping you on track and adjusting plans when life gets in the way.
