While I am no guru, I do think I know a thing or two about living my best life. And as a nutritionist, I wanted to share my five key habits for living your best life with food.
1. Eat delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables as often as possible. To live into your 100’s will require ten or more servings every single day. Your plate should be two-thirds fruit and veg at every meal, with fruit or a veggie tray for a snack, and eating every color of the rainbow every day. Find the fruits and veggies that you love and eat them often. Get to a place where when you bite into a fresh from the garden tomato and you truly savour it. You should enjoy fresh berries off the bush in your backyard like a kid loves an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. I want you to really enjoy the flavour, the taste, and most importantly how it makes you feel. Healthy. Energized. Youthful.

I want you to ask yourself a question.
How long do you want to live ?
This might not be something you have given much thought to. I remember my dad always telling me he wanted to outlive his own father. He was about six months short of that goal when he passed away at 85. But like any good goal, it should be SMART – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.
For me, I want to live to become a centenarian, meaning into my 100’s. I set this goal for myself in my early thirties. But, it wasn’t until I had my daughter that I realized the ‘why’ behind my goal — the specific piece that sets a goal into action. For me, the goal is to see my daughter become a grandmother. And because I had her at 43, I need to live for a long, long time.
So, I will ask you again…how long do you want to live ?

"I would 100% recommend Andrea! I feel everyone would benefit from working with her for many reasons. She is inspiring, motivating and knowledgeable. She provided me a safe space to share, learn and grow. Andrea has discovered her passion and is one of the lucky few who has chosen a career that aligns with her dreams, belief system and core values. Before Andrea I thought I was, for the most part, healthy. I had tried everything for my anxiety and gut issues and thought my current state was unfixable. I couldn’t have been more wrong. My time with Andrea was sincerely life-changing. I now know what health, physically, mentally and emotionally, feels like and more importantly how to live my life feeling my best. If I were to put it simply, Andrea gave me my freedom back and I am grateful for that. Andrea is a God-sent. The last six months have been the best money spent in my entire life." ... See MoreSee Less
