Hi, I’m Tanya

I’m a holistic nutritionist and personal trainer. Here’s the professional facts, I studied nutrition at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and became a personal trainer with Can-Fit Pro. In my day to day work I do such things as cooking classes and demos, I have done many lectures and education classes on nutrition, fitness and living a life that doesn’t suck! And I also work with individuals one-on-one either in nutrition and/or personal training. And in a past life I owned a health food store. That was cool!

Here’s the more juicy stuff.

I eat meat and chocolate and ice cream and burgers and I also enjoy a glass of ice wine from time to time. Yes, you read all that right. I personally follow the 80/20 rule. I live a healthy life day to day, I drink green smoothies, eat raw food, meditate, exercise, breathe, stretch, sometimes I’m gluten free and vegan and I even detox from time to time. But I also LIVE life and enjoy myself. I know and understand that I am solely responsible for my own health, it’s up to me and only me to make the best of what this life has to offer, so I grab it with both hands and make life happen.

HEALTH BEGINS WITH ATTITUDE AND AWARENESS

I am thankful for what I have learned from you in this mini course. Most of the steps are becoming habit and I am noticing positive changes. For many years I have dealt with digestive discomfort, primarily in the bowel, and have been diagnosed with “non specific” colitis. I have been prescribed A drug that helps calm the irritated bowel, but for a long time have been looking for a drug free route to healing. Your six steps have produced noticeable benefits and I look forward to continued improvement.

You rock!

Just listened to episode 2. It was like you could see inside my thoughts. I care what people think about me, always wondering. I got up this morning thinking I should go to Curves, I knew I wanted to go, but my thoughts were not there to go. When I started the circuit, I was not really “there”, but I soon got into a positive frame of mind and came home glad that I went. Then I listened to your episode 2- WOW , you were direct, and I thought “she is talking just to me”

I am struggling with weight loss, I know the basics because I go to Curves & Weight Watchers. But, I can’t stop cheating, I go to WW and say “well life happened” & I don’t lose. Well, I know now that that is bullshit. Your frankness about getting my shit together, I really needed that, to do it for myself, not for others. Positive thinking starts NOW!!!

THANKS for a great episode.

I have “coped” with psoriasis for over 25 years and have literally tried “everything” to deal with it. Creams, salves, lotions and potions … I even thought about voodoo once! Tanya made one particular recommendation that has virtually cleared up the psoriasis on my elbows, knees and the small of my back. I still can’t believe it! Thanks Tanya – that recommendation coupled with the specific tips you offered on improving my diet, have resulted in my feeling better about myself than I have done in many years.
