Suggested Interview Topics

Be Your Own Health Insurance.

Healthy eating is the foundation of good health. Prevention is usually cheaper and easier than fixing a health problem that is already present. There may be no immediate solution to worrying about health insurance premiums, filling out insurance paperwork and finding a pharmacy that is "in the plan," but people should realize that what they eat has an enormous impact on their health—both today and tomorrow. Spending time learning to eat well and gathering information to address our own health issues through nutrition advice and cooking classes is every bit as important as researching health insurance options.

Filling Up On Empty.

Many people eat to fill emotional voids. We have all been guilty of mindless eating at some time (not just with junk food, but any kind of food). Eating nutritionally empty foods can become a habit and it is often the symptom of a life full of too much stress and not enough nurturing. You can turn this around for yourself and your family with simple steps.

Senior Care—Living a Healthy Life with a Changing Body.

As we age our body has different requirements for optimal health. Learn what you can do to live a long, healthy life with compression of morbidity. (This means you live a long healthy life and the death process is fast—everyone's ultimate goal.) Does your body require the same nutrients it did in your youth? Have the amounts changed over time? What about exercise? Water intake? Sleep patterns and how nutrients can affect your sleep? Changes in your body take place slowly and are often not noticed, but it is important to understand the changes the body goes through as it ages, and how your eating can help you age with grace and health.

Making Sense of Too Much Information.

We have greater knowledge today and expanded choices, but all too frequently this brings confusion and indecisiveness. How do you sort through all this information—frequently conflicting information—to make the right choice for you? Patty will demystify the information for you, give you the tools to make better use of your expanded food choices and help you learn how to respond to the next news announcement of the latest wonder food or food scare.

Yes, But . . .

Are you a "yes, but" kind of person? You know this would be healthful, but

  1. you don't have time,
  2. it's too expensive,
  3. you don't like "health" food?

The list of "buts" is endless. Learn some practical ways to deal with these objections and find clear the road to healthy eating.

You Can do It—A Lifetime of Health Begins with a Few Simple Steps.

Healthy eating is a change for many people, and as we know, many people resist change. Focusing on organic foods, whole foods, seasonal eating, a varied diet and eating colorful foods is the basis for a healthy diet and the good news is you can get started today. No fancy menus, books to buy, calorie counters, food charts or complicated rules—no additional stress in your life! Patty will give you simple and extremely effective ways to put your eating on a healthy path—now!
