Sliding Scale Nutrition Philosophy

First and foremost the foundation of the Sliding Scale Nutrition Philosophy is that all people should have equal access to quality nutrition support. I believe that no one deserves higher quality health care more than anybody else. This is why I offer my services at a sliding scale rate. We all have to make a living but we all deserve quality health care also, so long as it is not at the expense of me meeting my needs I will always offer affordable nutrition support.

Secondly Whole Food Nutrition is at the heart of the Sliding Scale Nutrition Philosophy. To clarify, when I say whole foods I refer to foods that have grown or been raised, that you can easily recognize and that are still comprised of all of the original parts that are edible. For instance, Fruits and Vegetables, Nuts/Seeds, Eggs, Milk, Honey, Meats, Beans/Legumes and Whole Grains (Brown Rice, Whole Rolled Oats, Quinoa, Farro etc.).

I promote these foods because there aren't any laboratory made additives or preservatives. There's no hidden salt, fat or sugar in a squash, egg, or banana. Cooking with and eating whole foods gives you more control over what you put in your body. I also see whole foods as important because eating them strengthens our relationship with and respect for the earth.

I recognize that we all come from different upbringings and experiences and financial places. Many of us have different connections to and associations with a variety of foods. I strive to provide a comfortable experience for my clients where they feel welcome and safe.That said, I feel strongly that as much as it is possible we should all base our diets on whole foods. And I will encourage my clients to incorporate as many whole foods as they can into their diets.


Disclaimer:
Just because I promote these foods doesn't mean I am against foods that are not whole.
It doesn't mean that all whole foods are good for everyone.
It doesn't mean that if you eat only whole foods you are guaranteed to be healthy.
