If you’re looking for a gift that will make a positive and lasting impact on you or your loved one’s life, consider giving the Gift of Health. This year, I’m offering beautifully designed gift certificates at special holiday rates until Dec. 31, 2019.  There are 3 uplifting options to choose from and all gift packages include a free copy of my book, Energizing Nutrition: A New Food Paradigm.

Many wish to live happier, healthier lives and just don’t know where to start. There are endless amounts of information about diet and nutrition out there and it can be confusing to know how to eat and what to follow (ie: Intermittent fasting? Paleo? Keto? Veganism?). Sometimes it’s helpful to have a bit of guidance and support to kickstart your health. I began the holistic health and nutrition journey over 15 years ago and it has truly changed my life. It is my passion to continue to guide others and share what I can to assist in helping each person I work with be their best selves.  Feel free to read more about what people have experienced in the testimonials below. 
 
Real health is simple, sustainable and empowering.  When you truly understand what works for you, you transform your relationship with food and transform your life.

Thank you, wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season!

What’s it like working with Molly? 
 
“Molly has been one of the most positive influences in my life. I have grown leaps and bounds thanks to her knowledge, guidance, and insights. Her holistic approach has been influential in my overall well being, not solely my physical health. This process has been an essential step in coming to understand myself and my needs, and has further provided a foundation for me to thrive in all areas of my life. I am forever grateful.”

“I’ve worked with Molly Lee for over 6 months and it has absolutely changed my life. She works with you to gently rewire your attitudes around food and nourishment. I’ve lost weight but more importantly, am now freed from life-long toxic mind-chatter around food, weight and self-worth.”
 
 
– Molly M.
 
“Molly has such a wealth of knowledge, is attentive and incorporates both holistic and scientific philosophies/techniques into her practice. She offers very personalized insight that fit to me and my health needs. She’s extremely supportive, encouraging and down to earth. With her help, I even managed to recreate all my favorite comfort foods using healthier ingredients, and I never have cravings anymore. My workouts are increasingly better given my increased energy and I feel like a brand new person. Molly: thank you, thank you, thank you.”
 
– Dario D.
 
 
“The work that Molly has done with me has been so much more comprehensive and life changing than I could have imagined. Not only did I change the way I eat, prepare food, food shop, etc., but my overall awareness of the way I treat my body and the nourishment I give myself has increased and shifted. The benefits have extended to every area of my life–from getting out of what was, for me, a toxic relationship, to allowing more yoga and dance in my life, to really going for what I want in my life instead of talking myself out of it–Molly’s questions and insights have helped me to heal not just my stomach, but my perception of myself and my relationship with my body and the world.  I feel like this is one of the best gifts I’ve given myself. Molly is incredibly knowledgable, highly empathic, she’s flexible to the needs of each individual and she goes the extra mile to give you the support and information you need. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is exceptional at what she does and I consider myself lucky to have benefited from her expert guidance.”

Start your day with an Attitude of Gratitude!

 

Yellow FlowerWhat does Gratitude have to do with healthy eating and nutrition?  The answer is: “everything!”

Just like when we consciously choose more nutritious foods to eat and experience such benefits as improved energy and lightness; when we choose to feed our minds with nourishing thoughts and gratitudes, we experience similar effects.

From my experience working with clients and observing my own mind, I’ve noticed that largely due to cultural and societal conditioning, we can tend to go towards thinking about what’s missing, what we aren’t doing “right”, feeling guilty and beating ourselves up.  It’s for this reason, that I begin all my health and nutrition sessions with the question, “What are 3 things that are going well?” and have recently began asking: “What are 3 things you are grateful for today?”

This gently directs our minds to a more positive stream of thinking, re-directing the critical or self-judging inner voice to what IS going well and all that we have to be grateful for.  This doesn’t mean stuffing or ignoring feelings such as anger, grief or sadness.  Even within the most difficult life experiences, there is always a light…if you choose to see it.  Simply having food to eat, a bed to sleep in, and having good health ~ these are just 3 incredible things to be grateful for.

There is also a science behind the practice of expressing daily gratitudes.  Scientists from the University of California have begun researching and studying practicing gratitude and so far are finding a number of benefits including:

  • Stronger immune systems and lower blood pressure;
  • Higher levels of positive emotions;
  • More joy, optimism, and happiness;
  • Acting with more generosity and compassion;
  • Feeling less lonely and isolated.

(referenced from Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude, University of California, Berkeley)

Just like beginning your day with a solid, nourishing breakfast, start your day by feeding your mind with positive affirmations in the form of gratitudes.  Keep it simple and make it fun.  For some it could be journalling, creating a gratitude jar, or mentally reflecting on 2 or 3 gratitudes as you wake up in the morning.
