Janiqueel takes a peek into the world of nutrition and
highlights someone who can be a lot of help in understanding it.
To maintain the body in excellent health is a duty.
Otherwise, we shall not be capable to keep our mind acute and clear.
― Buddha
Eating right and living right, there is an obvious
connection. But how does one go about eating right? What are the most healthful
foods? Which should be avoided? If we are what we eat, what am I? These days it
seems that we hear a lot about nutrition (perhaps too much?) without receiving
many directions among the noise. It can be very confusing. So much so, that
many simply throw up their hands (having dropped their food first, we hope!)
and muddle through the world of food and nutrition without maps and
destinations. But don’t give up hope. There is direction right here in
Singapore.
Founded by Puja Bansal, BioWhole Nutrition aims to unclutter the gut-brain-body connection by showing how all systems of the body are interlinked and how good Nutrition can help restore health and vitality. Having sufferedfrom chronic fatigue and migraines six years ago, Puja decided to explore the fascinating world of nutrition and its links to the body and, crucially, to the mind.
“I am very passionate about fostering good gut health
in all my clients, through making simple sustainable changes” Eventually, after
realizing that what she ate was the key factor in how she felt, Puja changed
her diet, her lifestyle, and became a registered nutritional therapist! Now a
member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT)
and registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)
she’s able to help others, armed with the idea that “All disease begins in the
gut”.
To become acquainted with her philosophy of wellness, and
to find what BioWhole has to offer, consider a free no-obligation 20-minute
consultation. If you like what you find out, launching into a complete
consultation process may be for you.
The Process:
● THE FIRST CONSULTATION - is a 60-75 minute “information
gathering” session where Puja explores one’s diet and health goals. Using the
Functional Medicine approach, she delves into symptoms and functional
irregularities and devises a dietary and lifestyle plan. Nothing drastic at
first - just a soft launch into a new frontier and (who knows!?) a NEW
YOU.
● FOLLOW UPS - sessions focused on the dietary
recommendations and looking at new foods that may fit into the advice. This is
where the advice becomes real as you look at what foods best meet our needs and
can be made TASTY at the same time. We’re talking CHANGE here. Change is not
always easy, but now you have a friendly professional guide.
● PACKAGES - three- and five-session guiding appointments
to help solidify the lifestyle advice and dietary suggestions by emphasizing
the gut-brain connection, making it work, catered to your individualbody and
lifestyle.
Smart, considered eating is the cornerstone to a more
well-balanced you. Only you? No. Once you’ve made a start into the “wonderful
world of Nutritional Therapy” you’ll find that you become a guide for your
family, partners, and friends.
Happy Travels!
