Nutritional Balance

Nutritional Balance

A nutritional balance is consuming sufficient nutrients for your body’s needs, balancing your energy intake versus energy expenditure the energy your burn off. An energy imbalance will lead to weight gain or weight loss. Having sufficient fluids for your body’s needs is also essential. You may be limiting your intake of energy from food with the best intention, but this is actually counter-productive for a number of reasons.

Knowledge to Empower

Knowledge to Empower

You need the knowledge to create confidence so that you can make changes. You need to know what is meant by a “balanced diet”, the amount of energy you need to intake for your body to function, understand what a sustainable calorie deficit is versus losing weight as quickly as you can and how this is not sustainable, and the small changes you can make to create massive life changes, you will then be in control.

Knowledge to Improve

Knowledge to Improve

You need lots of questions answering and myths busted to help yourself. What are good and bad; carbohydrates, protein and fats. One person tells me to eat fruit and another not to, as there is too much sugar in fruit. What exactly are vitamins and minerals. How does digestion play a part in nutrient absorption and what happens if my diet isn’t balanced, how will I know? All questions you will gain knowledge of.

Diet and Health Conditions

Diet and Health Conditions

It is true we really are what we eat and eating the correct foods and fluids really can help common health conditions, understanding the role of your diet and lifestyle to help manage and prevent; High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Osteoporosis, Dental issues, Diabetes, Coeliac Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Food allergy and intolerances. I will not diagnose nor am I able to treat medical conditions, I can refer you to specialist I work with to do this.

Goals and Dreams

Goals and Dreams

Goals need to be set, developed, monitored, implemented, measured and revised on a regular basis, this isn’t as complicated as it sounds, and neither is this dull, it is fun, exciting and fulfilling, your goals and dreams will be set as realistic short, medium and longer term goal’s that are challenging, motivational and achievable. It’s important to know that once in a while you may not meet a goal on a set date, being flexible is good too.

What my clients say

I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks to Sarah-Jane for her guidance and support. A few months after finding out I was pregnant I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Knowing that good control of my sugar levels would have a direct impact on my baby meant that I needed to understand exactly what I was eating and how to adjust my eating habits to ensure my blood sugars remained within target levels. Thanks to Sarah-Jane help I was known amongst the perinatal diabetic nurses for the best controlled lady under their care!

Haymen Mak Harris (and baby Benjamin)

I am absolutely thrilled with the nutritional coaching I have had from Sarah Jane. Not only have I now lost one and a half stone in weight but I now have the knowledge and understanding about food to help me
maintain and continue to improve my health and eating habits moving forward.

The information I received from our 1-2-1 coaching sessions has been invaluable. Sarah-Jane's attention to detail, the processes she uses, her motivational skills and encouragement inspire you to succeed! Not only am I now 2 dress sizes smaller but I have more energy and don't suffer from the fatigue I had before. I would highly recommend Sarah-Jane's nutrition coaching services to anyone.

Tracey Barnes

I am so pleased I have found Sarah-Jane to have her looking after my health.

I have had a problem with food for years, including allergies, and my eating habits had got very samey, and not eating a great deal in general, so I needed to get a good eating plan, and introduce vitamins and minerals that were currently non-existent, into my body. I was feeling sick, dizzy and tired. I was eating snacks and one meal a day. I also had joint and general pain issues, some of the food I was eating exacerbated these problems, but having identified these, I was able to make that change.

I now feel healthier, more awake, less dizzy and able to exercise for longer. I will now always have this information but will keep meeting just to keep on the right track. I would highly recommend Sarah-Jane to anyone, she is easy to speak to, knows her stuff and has changed my life, I wish I had found her years ago.

Wendy

I spoke to Sarah-Jane about the nutrition work she is doing and was intrigued about what Macros, Micros where, as a nurse thought I knew a bit about nutrition …. how wrong was I?!

When I first enquired, I was worried about the money side and was reluctant to prioritise this money on myself however after some thought and even more weight yoyoing I just thought “why not!”.

I knew for me to be a positive role model for my near teenage daughters and adult son my health and well-being was important, and this conclusion had taken me many years to realise.

I had been wary due to home being a building site however I was still able to make the changes needed and since starting this journey, I have stopped hiccupping and coughing in the mornings, I am sleeping much better, my blood pressure is now within normal limits, and I have lost 2 inches from around my middle.

I would recommend a chat if nothing more, Sarah-Jane is the most passionate, motivational, and knowledgeable woman I have met for a while and I plan to continue working with her whilst making the changes I and now subsequently my family have made.

Thank you, Sarah-Jane.

What is a Nutritional Balance?

What is a Nutritional Balance?

Hippocrates’ observation about diet (dietary intake) is still relevant 2,000 years later, we are what we eat, the raw materials from which our bodies and constructed are provided by the food we eat.

We are all individuals and our nutritional intake requirements depend on our health, lifestyle, and age there is not a one fits all approach.  A nutritional balance is consuming sufficient nutrients for your body’s needs. Having sufficient fluids for your body’s needs is also essential

Balancing your energy intake; the food and drink you consume versus energy expenditure the energy your burn off generally in your occupational and non-occupational activities. An energy imbalance may lead to weight gain or weight loss.

You may be limiting your intake of energy from food with the best intention, but before deciding on your calorie/energy deficit you should seek advice

It starts with a complimentary call all about you!

I offer a complimentary 30-minute call all about you and how I may be able to help, if we are a match to work with each other, I will create your bespoke programme and get you started on your journey with me.  

We follow my success model that has worked for others: 

Identify: what are your health concerns, where have you been in the past, where are you now and what are your goals and dreams 

Ignite: identifying any food intolerances and nutritional imbalances, making small changes can lead to the massive improvements you dream of, educating and inspiring you to make the changes one at a time. 

Integrate: the changes become embedded, you want to make transformational long-term, 10 years plus changes not short term 6 to 12- month solutions going back to old habits and having to waste more time and money in the future.

Your health, fitness, happiness, and well-being are all important, being able to get these on track making sustainable changes will ensure you spend more time being productive, and spending quality time with friends and family. 

We will work together at a time that suits you and a location that is comfortable for you, this can be online, or in person (Chesterfield area)
