Nutrition 101: Back to Basics

Change your eating habits, change your life! It's that simple...

It is not about having the body of a supermodel or top athlete; it’s about rediscovering good health, high energy levels and preventing ill health!

Going 'back to basics' is not an avant-garde way of eating, such as past ‘high protein’ or ‘low fat’ diets.  It is not something new; it is in fact something quite old.
This way of eating has been around for thousands of years.  However, our world has drastically changed … we are now:

  • in the era of highly processed, fake foods, which contributes daily to our unhealthy lifestyles; and
  • With the introduction of thousands of never-seen-before chemicals into our food chain, our World is saturated with disease.

Going 'Back to Basics' will give you simple and practical solutions to the ever increasing challenges of eating right today.  Over time change those eating habits and rethink what you eat and the way you eat.

The end result, a painless lifestyle change!

An unhealthy lifestyle is merely a series of unhealthy habits!  Dr Irene O’Brien

ABOUT TERESA

Teresa is an Elite Age Group Triathlete living in Boulder, Colorado.  Her focus is to educate and guide you towards healthier eating by teaching you about the relationship between nutrition, food and health!

In 2006 Teresa made the decision to educate herself in nutrition.  She enrolled at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies in Sydney, Australia to do an Advanced Certificate in Nutritional Sciences.  This course consisted of 3 modules where she obtained the following credits.

Module 1 - High Distinction
Module 2 - Distinction
Module 3 - High Distinction

Attending this course gave Teresa a remarkable insight into food and what our bodies are capable of producing when it receives the proper fuel.  It also motivated her to go one step further, to make it her profession.  Teresa therefore quit her corporate job, relocated to the United States where she engaged in further studies.  She enrolled with the Clayton College of Natural Health in the State of Alabama to gain a degree in Bachelor of Science in Holistic Nutrition.
