Nutrition Tip
Daikon Radish is an Asian vegetable.
It looks like a large white carrot but tastes similar to our standard
red radish. Very flavorful but a
little less hot. Daikon
is very healing – very good at breaking up congestion. It contains natural diuretics and digestive
enzymes and is effective against bacterial and fungal infections. It’s available in most health food
stores, Asian markets and in many large grocery stores.

10 Thoughts on Whole Living
1. Make
space for joy in your life; let it flow
through you.
2. Life
is at its most intriguing and mysterious when it’s in flux.
3. Love
nourishes your soul; passion ignites
it.
4.
Don’t just shield your body from harm; protect and strengthen it from the inside out.
5. Take pleasure in others’ happiness,
as it will augment your own.
6. Let
spring breathe new life into your
home
7. Pain
accumulates over time; healing
requires patience – and a soft touch.
8.
Nurture your personal power;
it’s the source of your will.
9. Create
something; anything.
10. Get
excited about the process, not just
the outcome.

The Summer’s Over – Let’s get Back to Reality
Clean Up Your Diet (and life) and Get With It!
The goals of this workshop will be
to:
§
create easy transitional changes to your diet
§
give you more energy, clarity
§
assist you in losing weight (if you want to)
§
develop an easily maintainable exercise plan

Does your diet need a little (or a
lot) of “tweaking?”
Learn how to make healthier
choices that work best for you -- For
YOUR BODY and your BUSY LIFESTYLE. You’ll have more energy, focus and lose
some weight (if you’d like to) as well. There are many other factors in our lives
that affect the food we eat and visa versa.
As such, we’ll also work on some lifestyle issues -- things like
stress management, sleep (how to get to sleep, stay asleep or get
restful sleep) and exercise. This course will take place in four
workshops. You’ll leave each
workshop with a set of
recommendations (via a follow up email) to implement as well as various articles, recipes, food samples, audio
references and other healthy living tools.
The four sessions will be
held via teleconference from 6:30
– 8:30 PM ESTon the following dates: September
13 and 27, October 11 and 25 (note, all are Wednesdays)
The cost for the series (and all the goodies) is only
$199.

another. This workshop will give you

Initiate a Change
Are your health concerns
impeding you from living life fully? Do you want to change your relationship
with food from the inside out? Are you seeking deep seeded balance and
wellness?
I
would eagerly welcome the opportunity to work with you on a personal
level. We can work together privately
to create a customized life-long plan for you AND create the steps to
incorporate those changes into your existing routines.
Through my
counseling services I help people create and maintain balance in their life
by using nutrition as a focus and a tool. To do this I look at the
entire lifestyle of an individual to achieve maximum health. This is
accomplished through education and private consultations where an
individualized program is developed for each client. These
consultations include evaluating the client’s current diet and overall
lifestyle and then making easily implemented, gradual changes.
Additionally, they receive outside information in the form of articles,
books, tapes and recipes. Also included are additional monthly forms of
education and participation -- activities like cooking coaching, health food
store shopping hints, light exercising functions and other
activities. My practice is telephone based, allowing for maximum
flexibility and ease.
To schedule an initial consultation
contact me today at Brenda@SeedsToChange.com or (917) 213-9305.
