About LYF
Additional Information
LYF Nutrition offers nutritional consulting services for people looking for natural and holistic methods of achieving their health goals. The food you eat has a tremendous impact on your bodies performance: Fats, hormones, protein, muscles, are all dependent on the nutrients available to feed them.
Whether you are looking to lose weight, to have the energy to keep up with the kids, or improve the time on your next 10K, a nutritional protocol can expedite your journey to achieving your goals.
In today's world of commerce and capitalism, it's difficult to comprehend what's actually in the food we eat, never mind where the ingredients came from. It can be equally, if not more complicated to navigate the myriad of labeling found on food products today.
Here at LYF, we strive to increase your awareness of the power of food and teach you how to use nutrition to optimize your physical and mental well-being. We understand that changes in lifestyle can be hard, but unlike cough medicine, it can taste good while it works! Our mission is to teach you how to Love Your Food, while you Live to Your Fullest.
About You
How can you tell if a food is good? A key and even more complex challenge is understanding whether a food is good for you and your specific dietary needs. Everyone is different. How do your choices line up with the other components of your diet? With your personal genetic makeup? With your blood type? With your life goals?
Nutritional Services
Introductory Consultation
An initial consultation will focus on understanding your current situation - your nutritional strengths and weaknesses, your current lifestyle, and how all of it aligns with your personal goals. You can expect to spend around 2-3 hours with Dolly, in a comfortable environment, with a little homework for you before the session and a lot of homework for Dolly following the session. You will be left with a complete nutritional protocol that will include meal plans, recipes, foods to indulge in, foods to avoid, and lifestyle recommendations - all made according to your specific needs and preferences. In most cases, a follow up session will be scheduled to monitor progress and help you evolve to the next phase of nutritional awareness and holistic health.
3 Session Package
The three session package ensures progression and long lasting results. It includes...
- 3 consultations/meetings with Dolly (each three months apart)
- New weekly meal plans complete with recipes at each meeting
- Updated protocols based on development
Discover what works best in the long run, and how to make sure that the best version of yourself is here to stay.
What Happens When I Leave?
It can be difficult being left with a bunch of information and to be expected to act on it without guidance. Don't worry, you will still have support to:
- Help you make the right choice when you're standing at the grocery store
- Check in on how you're liking the recipes
- Alter the things that aren't working for you
- Touch base if something has changed in your environment or your goals.
