FAQ
Your questions answered
It is quite difficult to find a nutritionist, a personal coach, or a chef, who are all dedicated and professional, proposing a comprehensive range of services that put YOU at the top of their priorities.
What makes you stand above the rest?
In general, a personal coach proposes a one-fit-all dietary program, without any distinction if you are a man or a woman, only focussing on raising dramatically your protein intake, while working towards improving your physical performances, and, depending on your goal, augmenting your muscle mass.
Many a time, I have worked alongside personal coaches and most dietary plans proposed were out of sync with our common clients' health situation. Why? Because a personal coach is rarely certified in nutrition.
A certified nutritionist or a Nutritional Therapist has an excellent knowledge of BioChemistry, digestion and digestive tract disorders, or any specific health conditions; of food composition, and supplements; and sometimes, a comprehensive knowledge of medicinal herbs, but usually cooking is not their forte. Sprouting, raw food and juicing is often all they concentrate on.
A chef can be trained at the highest of levels, but when it comes to nutrition, optimum health, and calorific values, the knowledge is just not there.
Having trained as a chef for over 6 years to the highest level, and practiced for over 25 years, food has no secret for me. But what makes me stand out from the rest in the profession is that I have an extensive knowledge of nutrition, and should graduate by summer 2016 as Nutritional Therapist and a Naturopath, allowing me to go the extra mile when it comes to help you reach optimum health.

What if I suffer from any food allergies?
Food allergies are on the rise and a lot more difficult to deal with. Eating a varied menu becomes quite difficult and it is quite easy to run out of ideas. With my intensive knowledge in nutrition and BioChemistry, I can give you a comprehensive protocol to follow as part of my training until I graduate, and professionally once I have my degree. Not only can I also suggest exquisite recipes to follow. but I can come to your own home and prepare exquisite dishes according to your dietary plan, while eliminating all chances of contamination with the specific allergens. Plus, I can teach you how to cook, and inspire you to experience with new food and flavours.
What if I am Vegan / Vegetarian / Paleo...?
It does not matter what religion you follow, what health guru you believe in, what diet you think is best for you, I can perfectly adapt and still suggest, and prepare exquisite dishes, according to a dietary plan that works for you and only you.
I am not a number...
With me, you will never be. I always offer an individualised approach to your health as part of my training until I graduate, and professionally once I have my degree. Because you are unique my approach is also unique. Your medical condition, and how you experience it, or deal with it, is also unique; therefore, my approach will also be.
I still want to socialise and have dinner parties?
Indeed you can and what a perfect raison to contact me. Following a free consultation, I will be fully aware of your dietary requirement and can design any menus around you; plus, prepare and serve dishes that will not only exceed your expectations but those of your guests.
I can also design recipes and menus adapted to you, from one dish to several meals, to even a weekly menu.
