Y. CHU can help move you forward to better health
ABOUT Y. CHU
ENVIRONUTRITION
I have combined my extensive experiences in Holistic Nutrition, Architecture, Interior and Environmental Design, Coaching, Cooking and Teaching to create a unique program called Environutrition.
Environutrition is progressive holistic medicine. I have a Five Pillar Approach: food, movement, enviroment, stress and sleep (I call it "FOOD M.E.S.S") The environment plays a huge part in your health and is often overlooked. As an architect, I am familiar with poor quality air (mold), water, light, comfort, sound, materials and community. By reviewing these five pillars, we can figure out the root causes of your symptoms and how we can help make you feel better.
​
METHODOLOGY
​
Environutrition looks at each person as a unique individual with different needs and goals. It focuses on the whole person: physically, mentally, emotionally and environmentally. It is a natural approach to health that uses symptom based techniques and observations.
The nutrition aspect is eating healthy food as close to its natural state as possible for optimum health and well-being. The hall marks of good nutrition include unrefined, unprocessed, organic and locally grown whole foods. I will teach you how to shop, cook and provide recipes.
In our first session together, I will spend two hours listening and getting to know who you really are...in turn, I will ask you to fill out questionnaires, a food journal, and I will also explain how your body works and possible root causes of your symptoms. I will tour your home and/or workplace to see what environmental toxins you may be exposed to daily. I offer a number of levels of specialty programs from which you can choose. I recommend purchasing a longterm program of 3, 6 or 12 months because I believe you will stay motivated to change when you have your Environutrition coach supporting you every step of the way until you are able to stay on the path of good health without my assistance.
I will "hold hand" you through the process and together, we will create a powerful tool box that is customized for you to feel healthy, happy and energized again."The secret to getting ahead is getting started" and if you are willing and able, I "can help move you forward" to feeling better than you could ever imagine.
ABOUT Y. CHU
When I started working as an architect, I worked long stressful hours and eventually, my immune system suffered. I decided to make my health my priority again and within 10 months, my health improved.
​
A few years ago, my best friend died of cancer. I couldn't believe it. How could a person I thought to be healthy one moment and be dead the next? It became clear to me that I had to study nutrition. I enrolled at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN) and the diploma program changed my life forever. The information I learned was life changing and I feel I must share this knowledge with everyone, (see my testimonial section).

RATES
I always remind myself of this when it comes to spending money for my good health: "when you have poor health, you have no wealth no matter how much money you have. My best friend who died of cancer was a lawyer and mother. She didn't spend any money on her health and when she got diagnosed with cancer, she died within two weeks.
It is critical to make yourself your number one priority. Remember, the secret of getting ahead is getting started!"
