Why Hire a Holistic Nutrition Consultant?

When it comes to taking care of your body and brain, your diet is the single most important factor in determining your health. Nutrition is literally the fuel that makes or breaks you. Thankfully, food is also the easiest and most powerful tool to gain control of your health. By working with a Holistic Nutrition Consultant, you can obtain that control.

Food is also a basic human need and everybody eats. If people have been eating food for eons, why then, in the 21^st century, do we need a professional to tell us how to eat? Since the 1950’s food choices have become much more complex with modern food production, and convenient food, which often sacrifices nutrients, and ultimately health. A Holistic Nutrition Consultant can help you navigate this complexity, gain control of your health, help you fuel your body optimally, and create a sustainable diet which may reduce the risk of degenerative diseases.

Have you been told by your doctor or loved ones to improve your diet? Are you confused about conflicting nutritional information and what would be the best diet for you? Are you dealing with lingering inflammation that prevents you from being at the top of your game? Do you want to learn about foods which can reduce the risk of chronic and life-threatening conditions? Are you struggling to achieve your ideal body weight? Do you resort to quick and convenient meals at the cost of your health? Are you experiencing digestive issues which affect the quality of your life? Would you improve your diet if healthy foods tasted good and were easy to prepare? If you answered yes to any of these questions, working with a Holistic Nutrition Consultant could greatly benefit you! Contact Tamar Today to learn more!

Supplement Protocol for Respiratory Health

The Northern California wildfires continue to rage and devastate entire communities. It breaks my heart that so many people have experienced such great loss. As you may know, the air quality is terrible and affecting everyone’s health from Mendocino County all the way down to the South Bay. A very light ash has been falling here in Oakland the last couple of days. My eyes were burning as I donated food, water and toiletries for victims of the fire today.

It occurred to me today that I really need to put together a supplement protocol for respiratory and immune system health during these times of very poor air quality. Here is my best protocol for supporting your health until the air quality gets better. When you order, use the coupon code DFH10% for a discount. Shipping is free for orders over $50.00.

The Supplements

N-Acetyl-Cysteine – 1 capsule twice daily during exposure to smoke and smog

Quercetin+ Nettles 1 cap three times daily to bring down histamine and inflammation

Detox- Antiox 2 capsules per day to help combat free radicals and support detoxification

Additional support

Liposomal-glutathione – 4 pumps twice daily in the mouth to further support detoxification

Inflammatone – 2 capsules twice daily away from food to further combat inflammation

In addition, I highly recommend getting an Air Pura 600 series air purifier for your home and/or office. Also consider getting face masks for when you go outdoors. Those need to be rated N-95, as pictured above, to filter air pollution. The website NonToxic.com (DBA Nirvana Safe Haven) is a local East Bay Area supplier of Air Pura 600 series. They have been researching air purifiers since the 1980’s and have the best options on the market with prices that beat Amazon! Full disclosure – NonToxic.com is owned by my mother, Daliya Robson, who is chemically sensitive and started this business to help people like herself over 30 years ago.

Like all of you, I hope this will pass soon, but my fear is that the lingering poor air quality is going to cause respiratory issues in many people – aggravating asthma, allergies, headaches and more.

If you need additional help and would like to discuss ways to support your health or have questions on the supplement protocol for respiratory health, feel free to reach out to me.

8 Common Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid Before your Race

Women Running

What are the most 8 common nutrition mistakes to avoid before your race?

Surely you have heard of carbo-loading the night before the race. That is supposedly the best time to restock muscles glycogen. But is that true? Not really. Keep reading if you would like to learn more about the most common nutritional mistakes marathon runners and endurance athletes make just before and during the race.

1. Eating something new/exotic

Go for simple and bland – This is one of my favorites! You have trained hard for your race and you are traveling to a new city. The temptations of exotic foods are alluring, but save unfamiliar food for after the race! Do not ruin months of hard work with eating something your body is not accustomed to.

2. Night before Carbo-loading and overeating

One problem with the traditional pasta feed the night before is that when you eat a very large amount of carbs, and do not use them immediately for energy, your body will convert them to fat. All carbs are metabolized into sugar. And high blood sugar is toxic to the body! So as soon as you have elevated blood sugar the body will release insulin to get rid of it. Insulin is your fat storing hormone and it coverts sugar into triglycerides. Excess sugar becomes fat rather than muscle glycogen. The best way to carbo-load is during the months preceding the race.

3. Eating too late the night before

The last meal before your start time should ideally be about 13 hours prior. If your race starts at 7:00 am you should eat your dinner around 6:00 pm the night before. If you are attending an organized pre-race dinner, just try to eat as early as you can. Do not overeat, and you should probably keep away from alcohol too, and save that for the post-race treat!

4. Eating too much fiber the day/night before

Fiber is great! During the months of training consume large amount of roughage in the form of fresh veggies and some fruit. But on the last day, slow down a bit. You can still have vegetables and salads but not as much as you normally have.

5. Breakfast foods and fuel

If you plan to travel and don’t know what will be available you may want to bring breakfast foods with you. You also want to find out what will be offered at the aid stations and train with that brand. Otherwise the best option is to bring your own fuel. My favorite brands are CarboPro Non GMO NSF certified which is practically flavorless plus Electrolyte Synergy for electrolytes and flavor.

6. Eating and drinking too late the morning of the race

If you are eating a solid meal before your race, you may need to eat 3 hours before. If you are having a liquid meal then 2 hours will most likely work. The key is to experiment in advance. This is why you should wake up 2-3 hours before your long workouts. By race day you will know exactly what you will eat the morning of the event.

7. Caffeine consumption

If you are a caffeine user and want to benefit even more from the caffeine effects on race day, you will need to go caffeine free for at least a week before. Caffeine has some performance enhancing properties. Not only does it give you more stamina, but it also dumps glycogen into the blood therefore creating more energy. But if you are having caffeine regularly you may not achieve the same edge. The problem is that if you are a habituated drinker and you stop you will have a withdrawal headache. On the other hand, if you never drink caffeine and do not know the effects it will have on you, then stay away, as you may have an unpleasant gastric response.

8. Hydration issues

Dehydration greatly diminishes your performance. It becomes noticeable at 2% or greater dehydration (3 pounds for a 150 pound body). Therefore you want to drink before you are thirsty. I typically recommend 24oz per hour, but this can vary depending on your sweating and the actual temperature. For the run you want to prefect your hydration so you are not hearing your stomach sloshing, or having to stop at the bathroom. Avoid overhydrating, hyponatremia, or being waterlogged. Too much water can dilute electrolytes which is also a problem. If you tend to have digestive issues try CarboPro Non GMO NSF certified plus Electrolyte Synergy. After your race – make sure you hydrate with plenty of water and electrolytes.

If you would like to discuss your specific fueling needs, in order to improv your recovery as well as performance, contact me at Tri Holistic Nutrition.
