Foodie Book Review

I’m always being asked for inspirational healthy recipes and I love to share the latest foodie ideas, especially dishes I’ve tried out myself. I love nothing more than curling up with a new foodie book, and there are lots of great choices this year. So here is my review of just a few of my…

Dr. Marilyn Glenville

Dr. Marilyn Glenville BEd (Hons), MA, PhD (Cantab). For over thirty years Dr. Glenville has studied and practiced nutritional medicine specialising in the natural approach to female hormone problems. As a nutritional therapy student I enjoyed a number of her books. I often recommend them as helpful background reading for my female clients. I’ve chosen her as “My Health Heroine” for this…

Great having someone teaching you who has walked the talk and been there herself - gave me more trust in the experience. The teaching kept true to life and everything was realistic/doable – with great explanations and encouragement throughout.

I was also lacking any desire to exercise which led to low motivation around most aspects. Using The Health Heroine Development Plan, I was able to quite quickly; lose weight, feel less tired and feel more motivated for exercise.

I would recommend Aileen’s programme to anyone. Aileen,thanks for helping me achieve some of my goals. I feel I can use the plan going forward and have a clear pathway to weight loss.

I had been struggling with trying to lose weight for a number of years. My energy levels were non-existent and I felt tired.

I lost weight, my energy levels increased and I felt less tired. It has really made me focus on what I want in relation to my health and wealth loss and has given me the tools to progress with this to reach my targets.

I changed my view on what I saw as good and bad food and quickly experienced the benefits of changing my bad habits; lethargic feelings disappeared, I had boundless energy, I lost weight without trying.

If you are not already considering working with a nutritional therapist then Aileen is a very good choice. She is very approachable and knows her stuff! I have had GREAT benefits to my digestion and, therefore, my health and wellbeing, from my work with her.

Jo Cunningham

As a class yoyo dieter I had tried almost every diet plan and fad for weight loss with limited success, the focus on about caring about myself and living well rather than just losing weight helped me to commit to the programme. I have lost weight and inches and have a much more positive and thoughtful relationship with food.

Aileen is a professional and realistic about the challenges we face when it comes to making changes in the way we eat and drink!

Lesley Cooke

I was looking for a change of diet as a long term solution to weight loss and managing my cholesterol when the pilot information landed in my Facebook page.

I found Aileen to be very knowledgeable and definitely prepared to go the extra mile for an individual to help them understand themselves.

Sue Smith

Whilst working with Aileen, I did lose some weight but more importantly, I feel I have more control of my appetite and have no cravings for the wrong foods now. I also have more energy and my skin has improved.

I decided to work with Aileen because she is not only well qualified but in addition she is a true professional, enthusiastic about her services and committed to her clients.

I have followed other diet plans before but have struggled to maintain my ideal weight and always put weight back on, with Aileen's expert advice and guidance, I have made some permanent changes to what and how I eat.

Aileen is a very knowledgeable and committed nutritional therapist and can provide you with a wealth of information about the value of nutrition and 'how' to eat both for wellness and weight loss.

Linda

I started to work with Aileen to help resolve ongoing health issues. I needed to know what I could do nutritionally to help myself become well again. Gradually over the months my symptoms improved and I felt that I was taking charge of my health. I appreciated Aileen’s professional advice and input which helped me to get on the right track. The phone call appointments are an excellent way to have a consultation without having to spend time and resources travelling. Aileen helped me have confidence to do the right things for my situation. I am happy to say that Aileen has really helped my health problems and I would definitely recommend her services to others.

I was beginning to feel downhearted about my health condition. My diet had become very limited. I'd become fearful of food believing that most things would trigger symptoms. Aileen inspired and re-assured me, her expert guidance and professionalism is not only practical and down-to-earth but is based on current research.

Following my initial consultation, I looked forward to Aileen’s phone calls both to confirm that I was on track and also to see what new ideas I could try.

My confidence improved because I was learning to expand my choices of food that were both healthy and enjoyable to eat. As a result, I feel more empowered and hopeful for the future, thanks to Aileen.

Aileen inspired and empowered me to take control of my health by designing a programme, which was personalised for me, not one just 'plucked off a shelf’. If you are considering working with Aileen, I would say "Just go for it .... Aileen has the life experience, the subject knowledge and the skills to help you”.

During our coaching calls, Aileen gave me the tactics and re-enforcement needed to make changes and to regain my sense of well-being.
Aileen's focused nurturing style really kept me positive and making progress whilst I worked through various elements of change over a few months. It was an investment in myself that got me back on track, and had a positive impact on my whole life.
