Experience

Like many people, I used to think sickness and dis-ease were a normal part of the human condition, but today I know that's not true. After healing an incurable thyroid disease by improving my diet and lifestyle, I realized the old adage, "you are what you eat," is clearly one of the most profound statements in regards to human health.

To achieve an ideal weight and better overall health, we need to make wise food choices. For delicious and nutritious recipes, pick up my book, The Whole Truth How I Naturally Reclaimed My Health and You Can Too! (http://www.andreabeaman.com/theWholeTruth.html). Or check out The Eating and Recipe Guide – Better Food Better Health (http://www.andreabeaman.com/theWholeTruth_ERG.html) that contains over 120 delicious and nutritious recipes.

My experiences have fueled my passion to educate others about reclaiming their health and looking and feeling their absolute best. I believe by making simple but powerful lifestyle adjustments you can experience dramatically improved health, greater enjoyment from eating, and the confidence that comes from knowing how.

I’m happy to assist you with the following goals:
• Lose weight normally and naturally
• Increase your energy
• Disease-proof your body
• Discover the most delicious health-promoting foods
• Figure out binge triggers and how to disarm them
• Learn how to order in restaurants and enjoy food in all social situations
• Plan simple, quick and easy menus even if your time seems limited
• Create a successful lifestyle
• Reclaim your health
I am a Natural Foods Chef and Holistic Health Counselor accredited with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and a graduate of The Kushi Institute and Institute For Integrative Nutrition.

  • Ugh! Candida Overgrowth (The Beasty Yeasty Condition)

    Wednesday, November 4, 2009 - 16:37
    Candida Albicans is the helpful yeast that lives in a healthy human gut assisting in the digestion and absorption nutrients.  But, if this normally friendly fungus surges out of control, it can proliferate into the small intestine, organs and blood and begin digesting all of our nutrients for its own survival, leaving us exhausted, filled with toxic waste, and susceptible to many illnesses.

  • Don't Sweat the Swine Flu!

    Friday, October 2, 2009 - 14:26
    The Immune System is our body’s natural defense; it protects against viruses, bacteria, cancer and degenerative diseases.  When immunity is poor, frequent colds and flu, low grade fevers, recurring infections, and general fatigue is common.  The best way to stave off illness (and that blasted swine flu!) is to strengthen immunity with better diet and lifestyle choices.

  • Investing in Good Stock

    Tuesday, September 1, 2009 - 13:14
    The common expression, he/she comes from "good stock,” meant an individual came from a lineage of people that had an excellent physical constitution, vibrant health and strong bones.  Our constitution is the physical strength we are born with that has been handed down from our ancestors.  If your constitution is strong you can thank your parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and all of your ancestors for their wise diet and lifestyle choices.  On the other hand, if your constitution is poor and you are prone to chronic sickness and/or easily fatigued, you have permiss

    Thursday, July 16, 2009 - 13:18
    Four years after my mother died of breast cancer, I made a doctor’s appointment because of recurrent illnesses.  My immune system was a wreck; I had frequent flus, colds, and unsightly cold sores.  My cholesterol was well over 200.  I was anemic, chronically fatigued,

  • Loco for Locavores

    Monday, June 1, 2009 - 14:21
    The current trend to be a “locavore,” advises us to eat food that grows in our immediate environment.  The truth is… this is not a new concept.  Humans have traditionally eaten locally grown, seasonal foods.  Modern technology has changed that traditional way of eating and today every type of food is available at any time of the year regardless of the season or environment where it is grown.

  • Enhancing Sexual Vitality and Fertility

    Friday, May 8, 2009 - 22:28
    According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) “jing” is the source of life, longevity and vitality (including sexual vitality!).  Jing is the deep essence we are born with, and is passed down from our parents to us and stored in our kidneys.  Abusing the kidneys with a toxic lifestyle can drain our life essence, create a deficiency of jing, resulting in impotence, reproductive disorders, and other illnesses.  We cannot

  • Fall into Fall!

    Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 20:32
    Transitioning our diet as the seasons change is a wise old tradition.  When our body is in harmony with the external environment, it runs more efficiently.  One of the best ways to achieve this balanced state of optimum health is to eat the food that naturally grows during each season.
