I have always been interested in health, from just about every perspective. I spent many years building up a strong knowledge base and continue the journey of lifelong learning till this day. I am genuinely at my happiest when I am helping others improve their health, fitness, and outlook.
Most people are now working hard to make positive health changes in their lives. It is difficult to change habits; much easier to just sit back and do little. One of the greatest rewards is seeing my clients achieve goals that they have worked really hard to make happen. When people make the effort to change habits, it puts a big smile on me..
There’s no better time to start on the course for a healthier life. I am a scientist, researcher, consultant dietitian and longevity medicine practitioner at Chi Tree Health. The combined knowledge, current research & science, and important tools are what I bring to help our clients prevent, manage, or even reverse chronic health conditions.
Sleep is paramount to my ability to do everything I need to get through each day. In order to keep my clients motivated, to keep abreast of the literature, to come home and have the ability to engage with my family, and to exercise, I need to be on top of my sleep game. If I get into sleep debt, I have to get those credits back ASAP or my mood and performance suffers.
Food, exercise, and lifestyle are all intricately intertwined. I use them as levers to manage my health and my life. On any given day, week, or month, each of these levers can be pushed or pulled in the right (or wrong) direction. I find that keeping them balanced makes all the difference.
