What makes Joanna and Nutrition in Motion different than other nutritionists?

Joanna is a competitive athlete and is competitive in everything she does. In 1999, Joanna had developed adrenal exhaustion as a result of too much stress (physical, mental, chemical and emotional) due to this drive to succeed. Chronic fatigue was not something for which she had prepared herself - she had just completed her first Ironman USA competition and now could hardly get out of bed, let alone run. With a change in nutrition, lifestyle and how she dealt with stresses, along with the help of her alternative physician, she was able to repair years of damage to her health caused by stress. She realized that the body is an amazing thing - it can heal from any malaise; you just have to know how to let it heal. This catapulted Joanna into the field of nutrition where she now helps others become more healthy through changing their eating habits. She not only addressed the physical food aspects, but also tries to look at the body as a whole including the mental, emotional and chemical stresses one may be experiencing. She also understands the needs of athletes as she is one herself.
If you need someone to really help understand how to help you help yourself get healthy, call Joanna at 215-272-6774. You will not regret it! Change your nutrition....change your life!
