About Us
The Balance
We believe everything is connected, and that being dis-ease free can be accomplished by creating balance between food provided by nature, the right mindset, and that pinch of zen. Whether you want to lose weight and improve your blood results, or create a healthy relationship with food and yourself. Everyone can feel lighter and happier, sometimes you just need some help. We have the knowledge, experience and (com)passion. You just need to take the first step.
The Connection
Mental health and what you eat (and don't eat) go hand in hand. Our beliefs, hormones and certain eating disorders are the main factors when it comes to the way we eat. But did you know that what we eat also influences the way we think and feel? This is called the “Brain-Gut Connection”. The gut and the brain have a steady relationship with the nervous system, our hormones and the immune system. Some of the microbiome can release neurotransmitters, just like our own neurons do, speaking to the brain in its own language via the vagus nerve. This influences a wide variety of hormones responsible for feeling anxiety, stress, depression and most importantly happiness.
The Discomfort-zone
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” - Hippocrates. The knowledge they had around 400 BC seems to get lost in our fancy modern society. Chemicals added to food to please our taste buds, over-consumption, pesticides, toxic packaging, screen addiction, extreme dieting and medication as a quick-fix to easily solvable health problems, all seem to be the new norm, rather than the exception. We as natural beings seem to constantly try and adapt to an unnatural lifestyle, without taking the consequences into consideration, until it's almost too late.
