Today the magnificent Teri Cochrane is here to share how she has cracked the code on how to eat for your individual body. Teri creates bio-individualized nutrition plans based off of her client's genetic profiles by combining the latest research in biomechanics, epigenetics, and nutrition.Through her practice, combining her countless years of research and working with patients, she has created the Wildatarian lifestyle and nutrition plan. Instead of viewing a diet as a restrictive measure, Teri redefines diets as how you interact with everything you consume in life. This includes food chemicals such as proteins and sulfur, hormones, and most importantly stress. Today Teri shares the impact of herbicide roundups, pharmaceutical antibiotics and toxicity levels in what we eat, like red meat and chicken, and how they can have serious impacts on our hormone levels. It is necessary to understand not only how your body is reacting to the food you eat, but also how a large part of how we feel throughout the day is affected by stress. Stress can be a bigger issue than most women realize. Through Teri’s Wildatarian lifestyle you can open yourself up to a diet of abundance and joy. I promise you will see a huge result in not only your mental state but also your weight, energy and overall general health.Have you ever experimented with individualized diet plans?
