Nourish Yourself!

I met with a fabulous friend and personal trainer last night over dinner at Zahav, a yummy new Israeli restaurant in center city. We spoke about how it is so important to get clients to nourish themselves. I gotta be honest when he asked me what I am doing for myself these days, I stumbled and blushed and said whheeeelll... It's so easy to get wrapped up in kids and husbands and schedules and work. No wonder we begin to turn to food to seek comfort. I know food isn't the answer, but it is so darn available. I realized I have to begin to do something for myself, really on a selfish level. My friend Pete has a class called releasing your inner athlete, sounds good to me! Maybe I am athletic, it's just buried under layers of pudge. I'll keep you posted! Check out Pete's site at www.petemattis.com.

About Heather

My name is Heather Rudalavage.

I am a licensed, registered dietitian who has been working in the nutrition field for the last 10 years. After graduating from The Pennsylvania State University with a BS in Nutrition, I completed a year long dietetic internship. Once I completed my internship, I began working as a clinical dietitian in acute care settings.

When my first child was born, I stopped working full time and started working a little closer to home, (OK, in the home is more like it). I now have 3 beautiful children, and I have been through the whole process of pregnancy, breastfeeding, feeding toddlers and children. I know how hard it is to manage a household with young children and not lose your self in the process!

I believe in a non-diet approach to wellness and weight loss. Diets don't work, and it is not because of will power! Diets take the pleasure away from eating. Diets increase cravings and actually slow your metabolism.

What is Intuitive Nutrition?

Intuitive Nutrition is a healthy, holistic approach to wellness. I will show you how to take charge of your health and your weight in a doable and realistic way.

If you have tried every diet out there, can't stand the thought of another diet, but you, "don't know what else to do", you have come to the right place!

Intuitive Nutrition can help you:

• Learn to take charge of your weight and health. You will become your own "nutrition expert."
• Learn to identify your personal triggers for mindless eating.
• Begin to value quality not quantity.
• Begin to appreciate food- smell, taste, texture, presentation.
• Lose weight in a natural, healthy way - No pills or potions involved.

Then work with a Registered Dietitian to increase your chances of successful weight loss! Visit our web site at http://www.intuitive-nutrition.com/ for more information.

Welcome!

So, here it goes, my first attempt at a blog. I don't really know how to do this, but I am passionate about being a mom and also about intuitive eating. (IE) For those of you who have not yet heard of IE, I hope to spread the word of this amazing non-diet approach to weight loss and a better relationship with food in general.
