Nutrition Counselling for Lymphedema
Jean’s Approach to Reduce Lymphedema
What you eat matters
When you eat matters
How much you eat matters
Whether you have primary or secondary lymphedema or whether your secondary lymphedema is due to cancer or another cause, you can use nutrition to compliment your lymphedema care. You will need to continue with your complete decongestive therapy including manual lymphatic drainage, compression, exercise and skin care but nutrition can be used to compliment these therapies. You don’t need to make all of your nutrition changes at once, in fact, I recommend you make nutrition changes in a step wise approach as this will allow you to know how your lymphedema responds to different elements in your diet. Knowing what helps and what worsens your lymphedema will allow you to anticipate flare-ups and have additional tools to help you get your lymphedema under control.
Nutrition Counselling for Weight Loss and Cravings
Jean’s Approach to Weight Loss and Busting Cravings
I believe…
A craving is your body′s way of talking to you.
Your eating doesn′t have to be perfect, it just has to be better than what it was.
You can be successful, no matter what′s happened in the past.
I worked at the Adelaide Health Clinic for 7 years, helping clients lose weight and get the most out of their workouts. These were all intelligent, accomplished people. Most of them knew the basics about healthy eating, some of them knew a lot. Most of my clients came to me after they already made the obvious changes to their eating. What I was able to offer which allowed them to be successful was fine tuning of their eating plan. I was expert at spotting the little things. When there are enough little things to change and tweak, then you get results. I also offered accountability, trouble shooting and encouragement. In the words of one of my successful clients “if I could have done it myself, I would have.” I would be happy to work with you to help you achieve your weight goals and bust the cravings.
