personal health consulting
 Most nutrition and health programs offer one-size fits all recommendations and expect you to figure out a way to make it work. The same diet, exercise, or lifestyle habit, perfect for one person, may be wrong for another. This is because each person is unique - each person has a different age, ethnicity, and family health history.
Inspire Nutrition offers a different approach customized to your individual needs. In our personal health consulting program, you will be introduced to new foods; you will learn the benefits of eating whole foods and reducing your consumption of packaged, processed, and artificial foods; you will identify what foods work best for your body; you will learn to cook nutritious and balanced meals, and you will receive support while we help you attain your health and personal goals.
The goal of our unique, personalized program is to help you radically improve your life, resolve concerns specific to you and your body and to provide you with the tools for a lifetime of balance. Our personalized program is structured to offer you support to ensure your long term success.
Our 12 session program includes:
- 12 One-Hour Sessions – every week for 12 weeks, every other week for 6 months or once a month for 12 months (see sample session topics)

how to get started
All programs begin with a FREE, confidential, one-hour consultation where we will discuss your nutrition, fitness and lifestyle goals. We will ask you basic questions about your food, sleep, digestive, exercise, and work habits, in order to get a clear snapshot of your current health. The information is then used as the groundwork for a custom-made program to create lasting changes.

“I first sought out Inspire Nutrition after a wave of sinus infections left me frustrated and interested in whether there were other holistic ways to approach my health. Tired of nasal sprays and antibiotics, I wanted to explore the way that my food choices could impact my health. While I have been a healthy eater my whole life, I had recently moved to DC and was finally cooking for myself. I found myself in a "food rut" –grilled chicken and a vegetable were my staple dinner and I was getting bored and lacked ideas of what else to cook. Christina was wonderful to work with and I literally enjoyed every meal that we made together. Thoughtful, attentive, fun and a great teacher, Christina made sure that we didn't just cook the food together, but that I learned something about all of the ingredients we were using. The 12 cooking classes have truly changed my outlook on health and food, and have changed the way that I eat. The world of foods that Christina opened me up to is fascinating. What I loved about Christina's classes was how customized they were; if there was something I wanted to cook, we would cook it. Since I stated with Christina I have not gotten sick at all; her anti-cold remedies of leafy greens, onions and garlic have worked time and time again. I have also noticed slight weight loss, as well as an overall desire to exercise more and maintain my overall health. I find that eating healthy also makes me want to make healthier choices in other areas of my life (more sleep, more exercise etc…). I am also cooking more and am learning to plan my meals out over the week to ensure that I do not need to make a trip to the snack machine or out to purchase a snack at work. Overall Christina has changed my outlook on food, cooking and health. She is a wonderful dedicated teacher and I recommended her to everyone. Even if you are an experienced cook there is always more to learn. ”
