We take a different approach....and we see massive results!
WHY DO 95% OF PEOPLE FAIL WHEN THEY ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THEIR LIFESTYLE?
BECAUSE ... WE BECOME WHO WE ARE TRAINED TO BE
Our daily life is our training ground. We become a product of our upbringing and surroundings. We live out the belief system and way of thinking that we have been programmed for.
HOW ARE WE TRAINED TO ENJOY UNHEALTHY FOOD?
We are taught that food will comfort us when we are sad or unhappy – we glean this through what our friends and family say, TV shows, and what we hear or say to ourselves.
We are conditioned to be shown love and show love through unhealthy food. Birthdays, holidays, when people are sick, when people are happy, or when they are upset.
We glorify it in society as something we DESERVE. We are given treats when we have been good as a child, or get rewarded with some form of unhealthy food for completing a task – which then carries on into our adulthood.
It is our way to connect with others and feel a part of something. We associate memories with specific foods.
The problem
Because we’ve been trained to believe unhealthy food gives us all of these amazing things, we feel disconnected, stressed, punished, and truly unable to be happy when we move away from unhealthy food. The human mind will always do things that offer more pleasure over pain. We need to retrain our minds to enjoy the daily process of eating healthy, while changing our beliefs around what unhealthy food gives us, in order to reach true success.
A successful transition into a healthy lifestyle comes when we learn how to retrain the way we think. Enjoy the process!
About Mary and the BBHC Family
I started my journey as a health coach and nutritionist for two main reasons. A few years back, when I was in Europe, I had many different health symptoms and diagnoses. I had terrible heart palpitations, insomnia, chronic clogged nose, rosacea, ALWAYS tired, depression, and syncope. I was on a large amount of medications and I had a huge desire to be off of each and every one. I started asking different specialists how I could start that journey. Not ONE could tell me what to do. Finally, I decided to see an allergy specialist. The minute I met him I felt an instant relief, even though my allergy tests came back negative. He took a moment to look down at my list of medication and symptoms. When he was done, he looked up into my eyes and said "are you ready to take control of your body?". He further explained that I needed to listen to what my body was telling me and start changing what I ate, and what I did, on a daily basis. In the beginning it was difficult to understand what that really meant, but when he gave me the foundational knowledge to start eating CLEAN foods my body started to tell me what I needed. Weeks later I was completely symptom free!! This came as a huge shock to me!! From that moment forward my thirst for knowledge grew into an obsession and later a business.
The point I decided to make this my life was when I came home, from my two years in Europe, and started seeing how many people were like me before I changed my lifestyle. Everyone around me was sick, tired and on a list of medications. I started feeling a passion to inspire a movement where people would listen to their bodies and start eating clean food! I started by inviting my neighborhood to a clean eating cooking class and its been an amazing journey ever since.
Throughout the past years I have done three years of graduate studies at EMU, University of New York and at the University of Ghent, Belgium. I have trained all over the world in the most groundbreaking methods to give my clients the fastest and most sustainable way to transforming their health. I'm also a certified health coach, emotional transformation coach, nutritionist and emotional reprogramming specialist. My purpose in life is to break the emotional and physical walls that separate people from really transitioning to a healthy lifestyle long term.
After using my tools, and education, to heal my body I set out to help heal other. I have helped thousands of clients transform their life and gain the health through coaching, seminars, speaking events and TV shows.
