Getting Energized Over Nutrition

After our workshop yesterday, all day at work, everyone was reading labels and talking about your presentation. It was awesome! Everyone is so excited about the knowledge you shared and it has created all this energy at the office.

Sugar Shock!

Ali knows nutrition. The sugar information was shocking. I learned a great deal and enjoyed Ali’s great energy and enthusiasm in presenting the information in an enjoyable way.

New Food Perspective

Ali’s workshop gave me a different way to look at nutrition. Her enthusiasm inspired me to learn more and not only focus on food itself but all the components of my lifestyle.

The Real Deal on Food

I thought I was eating healthfully, but now I know how to actually eat healthier for real. In Ali’s workshop, you will learn simple way to change your life.

Eating for Energy Workshop

I thought the Eating for Energy workshop was fun and informative. I liked that Ali’s focus was on sugar rather than calories and fat, because I do believe that sugar is the evil in our food these days. Ali was very upbeat and seemed to have a practical approach as well as the more scientific outlook. And those energy balls were delicious!

“Eating for Energy” Group Workshop

The “Eating for Energy” workshop was engaging and brought to light a lot of facts that we didn’t know. Ali’s focus on sugar rather than on fat and calories was interesting and different from most of the nutritional information that is widely publicized. People were very intrigued and were asking Ali lots of questions during and after the workshop. From the very health conscious to the not so health conscious, all of the attendees in our office really enjoyed the workshop, and I think that everyone learned something new.

Ali brings a new perspective and awareness to nutrition, and talked about how simple changes in eating habits can have profound effects on the way one feels throughout the day. I have tried to incorporate many of her suggestions into my daily life and have definitely noticed a difference in my energy levels and overall well being.

“Eating for a New & Younger You” Group Workshop

Thank you so much for the wonderful seminar “How to Eat for a New and Younger You” that you presented to my team members.  You were so knowledgeable and helpful, and the information that you presented was easily understood by everyone.  All of the employees really enjoyed learning about the different foods that have hidden sugars, and many have implemented your suggestions.

With health care costs rising, it was refreshing to have such an important topic that was of interest to so many of my employees.  You made a big impact on the focus of healthy eating for our hotel.

November 2008 Newsletter: Health Bail-Out Plan

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day…

The Phillies won the World Series and the city of Philadelphia is experiencing its first sports championship in more than 25 years. The energy here is exhilarating. It never ceases to amaze me how a sports championship can bring a city together!

I wish everyone had the same fervor for something unifying in politics, especially with such a crucial election on Tuesday. Oh, but wait, we do. Food! Yes, a solid food agenda is something that both sides of the aisle can agree on. You betcha!

It may not seem apparent off the bat (sorry, still in World Series mode) but if we focus on changing food policy, we can alter the course of global warming, save our “health-care” system, grow businesses and increase our national security.

For more details, check out author and activist Michael Pollan’s brilliant letter to the next President here.

But while it’s going to take the government time to get around to changing food policy, you can change yours right now. And to support you in changing your eating habits, I’m offering a “Health Bail-Out”
special for the month of November to help you save money responsibly, stop stress eating from these crazy times and avoid the looming holiday weight gain.

Bail out your bad habits and your devaluing health!

For anyone who signs up as a client in my six-month nutritional counseling program in November, you’ll receive a free month of health counseling.* And for current or past clients, every referral who signs-up to work with me, you’ll receive a free month of health counseling too.*

The benefits of nutritional counseling are greater than ever. Food prices will continue to increase as it’s energy-intensive and the days of cheap energy are over—no matter who is in office. When you know what to eat for your body (and you eat healthfully) your grocery and take-out bills go down significantly and you eat less.

I’ve personally seen a 30 percent reduction in my food expenditures since eating a local, whole foods diet. And that is while food prices have increased. I’ve had several clients echo the same story. They cannot believe how much more they have in their wallets at the end of the week and how satisfied they feel on much less food.

Also, insurance companies are shifting towards a risk-tolerance/premium payment model. They started with the smokers and next is the Body Mass Index (BMI). So, the more you weigh, the more you pay. Why not start investing your money in yourself versus your insurance premiums? Your Return on Investment (ROI) will be more energy, clarity, confidence, weight loss, saving money (on food, medicine, doctors’ visits, insurance premiums, etc.) and avoiding 80 percent of illness? What a deal!

And aside from the economics, eating healthy has never been so much fun. My clients are pleasantly surprised at how much they enjoy cooking and eating real food and how quick, simple, and grounding it is, especially in these volatile times.

The stock market will have its cycle, but health doesn’t always work that way. As someone who has lost her health before, trust me when I say it’s easier and more fun to invest and watch your health grow than
be bankrupt.

So, contact me today at 215.279.7491 or alishapiro@pyournutrition.com for an initial consult. We’ll go over your complete health history and decide if we’re a good match to work together. If so, we’ll get you feeling energetic, optimistic, and buoyant…like after a World Series win!

Getting excited to vote on November 4th,

Ali

P.S. I’m offering two workshops with my dear friend and brilliant psychologist Dr. Nicole Lipkin on staying slim and sane during the holidays. For complete details, click here

*The extra month of health counseling will be added at the end of your six-month program.
