About MeMy name is Andrea Gillespie and I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. I graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition May of 2016.
A Registered Holistic Nutritionist takes an approach that deals with the whole person (mind, body and spirit) to get to the root cause of the illness or imbalance to help the body heal itself. I base my recommendations on a variety of symptoms that represent the early stages of illness before they develop into more serious problems. I consider not only food quality, but also stress levels, exercise, and lifestyle. Since everyone is biochemically unique, I deal with each person individually, offering recommendations specific to their personal needs. I will make suggestions for lifestyle changes, food choices and nutritional supplement suggestions. No two people are ever treated the same. |
My story.... |
I recently retired as a police officer from the Toronto Police Service after 30 years.
2012 was a challenging year for me. My dad passed away in January and a few weeks later, I completely destroyed my knee while training at work. I suffered a complete rupture of my ACL, partial tear of my MCL, partial tear of my PCL and an impaction fracture. Over the next 6 months, I had two surgeries and the painkillers I was prescribed really hurt my stomach. I have had colitis since I was 22 and it was now the worst it has ever been. I needed help. I met with a local nutritionist who changed my life forever. My new diet and lifestyle allow me to control my colitis and help reduce my migraines as well. I decided to become a nutritionist to help people in the way that my nutritionist helped me. . |
