I grew up in Poland. I come from a family who celebrate food, and cooking is very much the way we spend time together, bond, show love for one another. I spent most of my childhood in the countryside with my maternal grandparents, who adopted a very simple way of living according to the changing seasons, appreciation of local produce, respect for nature, and a strong sense of community and belonging. Now when I reflect on their way of living, I know the secret behind their longevity and happy and contented lives. This very experience inspired me to become a nutritionist.
Nowadays we lead very fast and unconscious lifestyles, often disconnected from nature and our circadian rhythms. My idea of helping my clients is not only to deal with their health conditions, but look more into the roots of their problem and treat them more holistically. Why did they get to this place, are they happy, have they lost connection with themselves?
'Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food' (Hippocrates, 400 BC)
A positive relationship with food is essential. I don't believe in harsh dieting, short-term fixes, restrictions, or inspiring fear of foods. Instead I promote sustainable dietary choices and developing a good relationship with food. I believe people's diets should be whole food centred, seasonal, local and varied. I don't necessarily advocate a plant based diet; we are all different and all have different nutritional requirements, likes and dislikes. What is important is to find the right balance in what we eat, and to include all the food groups according to individual needs.
Implementing these values towards food can help resolve a range of health issues such as digestive disorders, hormonal imbalance, pre-diabetes, stress, skin problems, and many more. The naturopathic approach is a partnership, and we will work together to succeed and achieve your goals.
