New Verve Nutrition Office Hours! – Maddie Berky
Is that Paleo? Can I Zone that? Screw it – I’m eating a donut… Nutrition is something in which we are all intimately involved and yet, it continues to be one of the trickiest aspects of health for many people- because it’s confusing. Duh! We are constantly bombarded with images in the media of what we “should be eating”… and then we enter the doors of a Crossfit gym. The rules have all changed. Bacon is our friend. Whole wheat pasta is that mean girl at school who always pretended to be nice but really spent her time secretly destroying our entire existence. Jigga what?! Where do we orient ourselves amidst a nutritional world that always seems to be shifting? Where do we go once we feel like we’ve established a solid footing in this blast from the past, whole foods eating way of existence? Bam! welcome to Verve nutrition office hours: Thursdays 12 – 1 and 5:30 – 6:30PM.
Just so you know what you are getting yourself into, here is a little about me. I made the shift over to Paleo about 2 years ago. Everything changed when I started eating whole foods: my energy, my skin, my lack of hunger blackouts, but mostly the guilt that had been so acute in my relationship with food for years was absent. I was suddenly eating food that made me feel good. Subsequently, I have immersed myself into the holistic health world, and a little over a year ago I started my blog: paleogirlinthecity.com, as a vehicle to help people feel powerful – through the food that they eat, and the work that they do both in and outside of the gym. Health has always been multifaceted and extremely personal to me. It is not a one-size fits all equation and it is not binary – purely about food or purely about the number of hours spent in the gym – it’s everything, and it’s complicated, and it’s fascinating, and it’s coming at you live through Verve Nutrition office hours.
