Zoa’s Nutrition Philosophy
Most of us have heard the adage “You Are What You Eat”. I prefer to think that we can change ourselves through what we choose to eat. We can eat and supplement ourselves to a better state of well-being both mentally and physically. There are so many delicious, good-for-us foods out there in the world! But buyer beware – there are so many more cheap, easy to grab foods that do not support optimal health.
Food is a basic human need, yet many struggle to figure out what to eat in order to properly feed both body and mind. Reading or talking to others about food too often feels like war or an unfriendly religious debate. We experience cravings. We get tired and busy. Our minds must decide what to eat. How do you know which foods work well for your particular body and mind right now? How do you know which changes to make in order to feel better not older?
Each body is a unique organism whose survival and ability to thrive must be discovered through experimentation and knowledge acquisition. There are basic food concepts that are honored around the world by those who live long, healthy, and fulfilling lives, but the devil is in the details.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. ~ Lao Tzu
How do we make changes to our diet and lifestyle when everything around us seems to add challenge? You are in the right place. Zoa serves as a guide for your nutritional journey to better health, increased vitality, and a joyful life!

3 Month Custom Supplement Subscription
The best supplements are ones that are bioavailable to your unique body, compliment your diet to give you a balanced nutrient intake, don’t break your piggy bank, and make you feel better when you take them. When you get a 3 month supplement subscription from me, we will use muscle testing to choose yours and to confirm that each requested supplement makes you feel stronger not weaker.
You choose your supplements from my curated selection including: minerals, vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, medicinal mushroom extracts, and algae.
Organic Local Food Access
It takes a lot of legwork to obtain healthy and organic food from local farmers that you know and trust. It is easier to just go to the big box store and get “something”. I want to make it easier for you. Hippocrates said “Let Food By Thy Medicine” and it is still true today. At Zen and Vitality, you can pick up such wonderful choices: organic veges, fruits, grains, beans, cold pressed juices, and kombucha.
Nutrition & Your Wellness Action Plan
Tell Zoa your story. Explain what you seek. Learn about new options. See the world of nutrition through a new set of lenses. Think out loud and outside the box with Zoa.
When we are done talking, I will write up your action plan for the next 3 months. It is up to you to take action! I look forward to helping you accomplish your goals and watching you succeed!
