Information on diet and nutrition can be confusing and contradictory.  Julene promotes research-backed guidelines and suggestions, with a very open mindset.  Julene is great at “walking with you” through your own journey of personal nutritional discovery and letting you come to your own conclusions – the best way to learn.  She is very practical in her approach.  She had me keep a daily journal of what I ate and how I felt afterwards.  We reviewed and discussed it together.  This exercise was a real a-ha moment for me in two areas: (1)  for the first time I began to see the impact the foods I consumed had on my energy level, and  (2) instead of focusing on what to remove from my diet, Julene offered recommendations of what I could add to my diet.  I had always thought of nutrition in terms of what one must eliminate from one’s diet, which is so limiting and had always been an obstacle to my making real changes.  I don’t know how to describe what a transformational shift that has been for me.  If that had been my only take-away from working with Julene, it would have been worth it because it has represented the most significant change that I have made.  This shift in my thinking has enabled me to take the knowledge and resources Julene provided and learn to make great decisions of my own.   I feel better and have a higher level of energy than I have for years.
