The Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert program is a food-focused nutrition-based culinary program that uses food at the core to build a practical knowledge and skills that can be applied professionally or in a home kitchen.
I studied a blend of holistic or natural nutrition and traditional diets with a culinary application. Where traditional holistic nutrition programs focus on symptomatology and specific nutrients, we took the practical application a step further by using this information and applying it in the kitchen.
They taught me to use a science evidence-based nutrition and traditional food methods to create, healthy meals, healthy recipes, and healthy workshops for specific dietary needs.
I have been asked many times, 'Why not a Holistic Nutritionist?' such a great question.
In reality it is comparing apples to oranges, both are fruits but very different. As a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert I can help my clients incorporate the principles of healthy eating, not just talk about them. I can help my clients learn how to do healthy meal planning for themselves, so they don't have to worry about what is for dinner at the last minute. Then from the healthy meal planning, I can show them how to make an overall grocery list. The week's meal plan and itemized grocery list from my template make it easy to re-use the meal plan many times. Just check the pantry and go shopping knowing it is all there. Once you have made four meal plans they can be cycled through to provide a good variety of healthy client friendly meals.
How many times have you been given a meal plan by a health care provider and not followed it. That probably happened because the meal plan was with their food choices not yours and your family's.
Dieticians do not help you learn how to cook. Holistic Nutritionists may give you what they feel is a meal plan that you will follow, but do not teach you how to do your own personal meal planning to take control of what you put in your body, but as a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert, I do these things to help you on your journey.
I can also develop recipes that are tailored to my client's and their family's needs and preferences. The best recipes are the ones that are tailored to your needs and inspire you enough to actually make them.
In other words, as some say, I am where the rubber hits the road. I get you started off on the best possible foot for you and your family to achieve your best health.
