Gary Smith Certified BodyMind NutritionistCertified Bodymind Raw Food Nutritionist Certified 200 Hour RYT Registered Yoga Teacher Certified 500 Hour RYT Registered Yoga Teacher Owner Nutritional Yoga Solutions E: nutritionalyogasolutions@gmail.com P: (757) 677-6509 I began my service in the health industry as a History major at Virginia Wesleyan college. Needing one credit to graduate, I opted for a Stress Management Course where the final class introduced me to yoga. Immediately realizing the health and well-being that yoga offers, I actively began exploring different styles of yoga and eastern philosophy. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts and was halfway through my Master Degree in History when I changed paths and became certified as a yoga teacher. Upon certification I began teaching yoga, and eventually meditation, at Hothouse Yoga in Virginia Beach, Va. It was a natural extension of the yogic approach to health that led me to a passionate interest in nutrition. Following the philosophy of Ahimsa, or non-harming, I followed my convictions to become a vegetarian in 2005 and effortlessly began incorporating raw foods into my diet. When a student at the yoga studio gave me the gift of David Wolfe's book, 'The Sunfood Diet Success System', I was inspired, not only make the commitment to a 100% raw food diet, but also to expand on my belief that all healthy disciplines are connected by becoming a certified nutritionist. The BodyMind Institute's holistic, integrative approach to nutrition was a perfect match for my philosophy that reconnection with what we eat and how we eat can enhance not only our bodies, but every aspect of our lives. Food is our most basic connection with life. The simple, but vital, act of eating and our relationship with food can bring us calm and joy. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve others by sharing simple approaches to health and well-being. Testimonial for Nutritional Yoga Solutions
I highly recommend Nutritional Yoga Solutions and Gary Smith as a nutrition consultant for those who wish to develop a healthy lifestyle and positive relationship with food. Before I began working with Smitty (Gary Smith), I harbored negative connotations towards food and practiced unhealthy eating patterns, ranging from deprivation to overindulging, while fighting or satisfying my cravings for sweets and comfort food. I felt unhappy,fearful of gaining extra pounds, and guilty. Smitty educated and guided me through establishing a daily food intake regime, food choices, and dietary supplements, with the intention to nourish my deprived of minerals and nutrients body. Additionally, he taught me self-reflection and mindfulness techniques that helped me to transform my fear and guilt towards food into gratefulness and enjoyment of eating Nature’s bounty. As a result of our work together, 90%of my cravings for processed unhealthy food is gone and I enjoy the process of eating tremendously, as I fully experience the texture, taste, smell, and nutritional value of the food that I consume. I feel healthy and relaxed in my body and the mind, and cannot be more grateful for all the efforts and extra miles that Smitty put into working with me. |
