More importantly, she firmly believes that every individual has the power to reach and maintain a state of optimal wellness. Corinne is here to guide you on your journey to health through good nutrition.

Corinne’s Food & Health Philosophy

• Treat food and you right and food will do you well: Food is NOT your enemy! It is your fuel to live to the fullest. You just need to recognize that you deserve to treat yourself the best. And choosing more of the right fuel is a step in that direction. In choosing healthy options—think foods in their real, whole, unadulterated form—and you will become healthier. And please be sure to eat and COOK healthy foods that you like! If you don’t, you just won’t keep it up. My advice—buy a good healthy cookbook and start having some fun in the kitchen! After all, it’s about a LIFESTYLE, not the four letter word— “diet.”
• The 90:10 rule: Shoot for 90% of daily eats to be healthifying and allow 10% for a treat of choice. I’m not a fan of deprivation … it can lead to bad outcomes.
• Move on: If you have a “bad food day,” that’s okay (p.s. everyone does and NO, a bit of chocolate does not count as a “bad food day!” At least not in my book!). Just get back on the healthy wagon! And give yourself a pat on the back for doing so.
• Focus on health NOT weight: Simply put, there are other health goals beyond lowering the number on the scale. For example, lifting weights, so you can help prevent osteoporosis or eating less processed food, allowing you to reap the benefits of more essential nutrients. These goals can help you get healthier, no matter what. And just may get you to that lean, green, mean, disease-fighting machine state!
• Eat more plant-based foods: Bring on the fruit, veggies, whole grains, beans and lentils, and nuts because folks—they’re chock-full of disease-preventing and disease-fighting nutrients! Plus, they’re easy on the waistline, since they’re full of belly-filling fiber!
• Get moving: There’s no other way to get around this one! Exercise combined with good nutrition is powerful. It’ll keep your bod in top-notch shape! Find an activity you like and get on it!
• Treat yourself well: Don’t forget you need “me time” too. So make it happen. Sometimes this requires you to say, “NO.” Or, to be a little selfish and that’s okay. Don’t treat others better than yourself—you’ll get worn out.
• Relax like a pro: We all need to feel refreshed. This most often comes from good sleep and the ability to destress. Aim to get in seven hours a night. To destress, take a moment to figure out what it is exactly that’s stressing you out. Once you know what it is, devise a plan that you know will help you destress, and do it!
• Smile and laugh: Surround yourself with those who make you happy, strive to do what you love, and take joy in the little things in life. It’ll make you happier and in turn, I think, healthier.
