Emotionally • My favorite client Jim- VCU

student who suffered from chronic fatigue and “depression” but really… Gluten Allergy!

• Elimination Diet eliminates common problem foods for 14 days and reintroduces them back into your system.

• My Assignment

Food Allergy Packet • When you discover you

have a food allergy or intolerance it is hard to manage a “food-type” free lifestyle

• Food Industry bombards us with so many preservatives, artificial flavorings, words we can understand.

• Pack to help people detect food allergies and intolerance avoid foods and ingredients

Interactive Cookbook • Rebekah was having a

problem with client’s adherence to her very “common sense plan”

• Thinking of Cognitive Psychology and Design– I realized that recipes and cookbooks are not designed with the user in mind.

• I created an interactive cookbook where you can take the simple recipes, arrange them into a weekly plan, and check of portion points.

Newsletter Articles • Quit Cog Dissin’

Your Plan • Glucose and Self

Control- The Self-Sabotaging

Nature of Calorie Restrictive Diets
