Steps to Change focuses on 5 key themes:
Step 1
Increase nutrients in to get more toxins out (nutrients in–toxins out)
Step 2
Source matters- Know your farmer
Step 3
Type of food matters more than calories. Whole foods get results, processed foods don’t.
Step 4
Help your body repair (chronic disease is like driving an old car. Lifestyle medicine is like overhauling the car so it works like a newer version)
Step 5
Mindset -Integrate mind/body/spirit for full healing experience
All courses are taught from a functional nutrition perspective.
This means you’ll learn how and why a food works in your body. You’ll also learn some reasons why one diet type may not work well for you , but another type may be terrific.
Food as Medicine takes time, but the results are long lasting. My job is to provide enough foundational information to get you going on your recovery from chronic disease. I teach the basic principles you need to get started.
Weight loss is a by - product of improved health.
Think of weight normalization instead of weight loss. As your body is able to better repair and eliminate toxins you should notice your clothes fitting better, less pain, less bloating. Reducing toxins helps to reduce chronic inflammation. That’ s just one of the ways this approach helps you feel better now, and later. You ’ll learn to recognize which foods if any are likely inflammatory for you. Inflammation underlies all chronic illness. Reducing inflammation is always a priority.

These 5 key focus areas create a multiyear, life – changing, personal growth experience for most people on this path. It ’ s the experience of layers of old heaviness stripping away from the body. I ’ve described my personal experience as ascending out of murky water, as though I couldn ’t see which way was up while I was underwater , and now I can see the way out. If you ’ ve ever had brain fog, that sensation of the fog clearing is like the dawning of a new life.
The brain does come back on line like a new day dawning. Changes are often slow. Weight loss often stalls. Too often students become frustrated because they are focused on following an eating strategy perfectly, yet not getting the desired results.
This is why I don ’ t teach diets for weight loss. The right diet for your optimal weight is the right diet for your optimal biochemistry.
As your body heals it functions better. When it functions better your weight can normalize to the right amount. Long term fat loss happens very slowly over time, but when it ’ s lost naturally, slowly, it’s not regained easily. For me this slow steady fat loss has been imperceptible on the scale. It ’s averaged to about a pound a month. Not a pound per week, but only one pound per month. I didn ’t mind because at the end of 2 years I ’d dropped 20 lbs of fat (confirmed by BodySpec scan) while never actually being on a diet. This is the kind of result I want for you.
What are the benefits?
There are plenty of beauty benefits beyond weight loss that can happen as your body repairs old damage. And the list goes on. Basically all chronic conditions that can be treated with medications can usually be improved over time with Simple Steps to Change.
