Homemade Mayo

July 3, 2009 by Tracie

I wanted to share the recipe for homemade mayo that I use because all of the store bought brands contain polyunsaturated oils, and we want to stay away from those. It is quick and easy and will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Keep in mind the trick is to add the olive […]

Healthy Gelatin

April 23, 2009 by Tracie

Enjoy one of my all-time favorite snacks: Healthy Gelatin with a little whipped cream on top! This is SUPER easy to make and contains anti-inflammatory, good for you protein. Little people love it too…especially when cut into squares and eaten as finger food!

You are what you eat!

Tracie was a presenter at a seminar I attended. I was so impressed with her presentation and information that I signed up for her 8 week class on the spot. I was simply amazed at what I learned in class each week. You will be amazed to learn what is healthy for and why what you thought you were eating that was healthy really isn’t. I had previously seen a Nutritionist at my clinic. The comparison of what I learned and the help I received goes vastly beyond day and night. I have lost 25 pounds and feel so much better. The only complaint I have is that the class ended. Tracie is one of those special people who’s main objective is helping you improve yourself and reach your goals. Maybe part of that is she practices what she preaches, after all they say “You are what you eat.” Shouldn’t you know what’s really good for you to be eating? Shouldn’t you learn from a proven experienced guru?

Lori puts her big girl pants on!

This note is way overdue. Just a BIG THANK YOU! For all you have done for me via education on food. My life is totally different now and I have never felt this good. So much I did not know or understand. Once I was told I was pre-diabetic it was a big kick in the pants. The reality of what I was doing to myself loomed over me and I finally had to put on my big girl pants and deal with it. But without the knowledge I had gained from you, I am not sure that putting on my big girl pants would have been enough. I needed to understand how the food affected my body. As of now, I have lost more than 15 pounds. My body is still healing, but that is the difference, Tracie…it is healing. So thank you and God Bless!!!

Shelley has reached the next level!

I honestly have nothing to offer for critiques and anything I’d like to see different on the class…it totally exceeded my expectations and I feel so lucky to have found you, this information, and to live where I live with all the resources I have around me. This was truly a phenomenal class that was exactly what I needed to get me to the next level in nutrition and health. I have believed since I was little that healing ourselves should be natural and from our food sources.

Well done..I like the power point since I’m visual, I love the recipes and meal plans, snack ideas, especially the calorie count of them as well as the info on the handouts to reference.

I just want to tell everyone!!

Aaron is back better than ever!

My name is Aaron Stecker and I am 10 year NFL veteran. I was injured at the end of last season but I did not want that injury to be the end of my career. I wanted to make a come back. My fantastic trainer recommended that I meet with Tracie and discuss how diet changes could help me reach my performance goals. I was happy that he recognized how a balance between the right exercise and nutrition can make all the difference. Tracie taught me how to balance my protein, carbs and fats so that I was able to have better workouts and less cravings. I also learned about the best types of foods to support metabolism and to decrease inflammation. The food recommendations surprised me but they worked. I am now at the weight and speed that I was during my rookie season and I am really excited to have a great year.

Thanks Tracie!

Angie heals her digestive issues.

I sought Tracie’s guidance amidst a whirlwind of dietary confusion after versing myself on many conflicting diets. She cleared my frustrations with sound advise and teachings that fostered an understanding of her recommendations. This allowed me to focus my efforts and enact distinct changes consistently to my diet. This consistency produced results in the form of my health goals.

I came to Tracie wishing to regulate my appetite, have more energy, increase my sense of well-being, allieviate digestion problems, and recalibrate a healthier metabolism after years of damaging dieting. I am achieving these goals with more stability every day using food as my health catalyst and metabolic medicine. At first, it took dedication, patience, and involved trusting Tracie. As I started to see and feel my body construct better health with nutritional materials, I knew I was reaping a cornucopia of health. I began to demolish old nutritional beliefs and patterns not serving my health goals. I replaced them with new, nutritional tools and blueprints that actually worked to repair and build better health. I improved my health and quality of life substantially.

I am very grateful for the gift of health Tracie guided me to create for myself. I now know how to fuel my body vehicle for maximum efficiency and function, and Tracie provided me with the education, encouragement, and support to achieve this.

Sara dropped her soda and pounds!

With no real intentions and my Diet Pepsi in hand, I attended a Lunch n’ Learn hosted by our company’s wellness team. The presenter was Tracie Hittman and with my limited knowledge about nutrition she easily caught my attention, and I knew I wanted to learn more. I joined her program and it was honestly money well spent.

The program included weekly meetings with Tracie, bi-weekly testing, and monthly classes on a variety of topics. I started off by changing when and what I eat. Because you want to keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day, it is best to eat every 2-3 hours. I always now have balanced snacks near by which helps me avoid cravings around lunch and dinner time.

Figuring out what to eat was a bigger challenge. Many of the foods I was being told to eat were completely opposite of what society has drilled into our heads for so long. I stick to a balanced diet with protein, fruits, and fat (healthy fat, of course). It isn’t about counting calories or avoiding foods with fat; it’s about looking at the ingredients and avoiding foods with hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, etc. If you don’t know what an ingredient is, it’s most likely not good for you.

I have lost almost 30 pounds and feel great!

Thanks Tracie!

Jenny shares her successful conversion!

(This is a message that one of our clients sent out to her contacts.)

Hello all,
Some of you may have heard me talk about the nutrition consultant that I began seeing several months ago. She is now starting a seminar series that I would highly recommend. I am forwarding this on because it is sooo interesting!

So far, this change in my eating habits has helped me feel way more energetic, have less “crashes” after eating, I ENJOY the food I eat, I have learned a ton of delicious new recipes, I don’t feel guilty about what I’m eating and I am not eating so much processed, junk-filled food! I’ve even lost weight! Also, I’ve decreased my cravings and feel satisfied when I’m done eating. Overall, I just feel better!

It is really amazing what Tracie can teach you about food and it all makes sense. I no longer read calorie and fat content, but instead I read the ingredients. My rule of thumb is if I can’t pronounce the word, then I don’t eat it. ;-)

Oh, and Steve really likes food too so that makes it so much easier!

Lisa gains energy and drops depression.

When I went to Tracie, I was in a panic mode. No matter how I ate, I was consistently gaining a pound a week or so. I already knew I had Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, but doctors weren’t putting me on medicine yet to deal with it. I also felt lethargic, slightly depressed, irritable and often couldn’t sleep at night.

Not only did Tracie get me eating healthier—which immediately helped me feel better—she hooked me up with a doctor who understood thyroid issues and prescribed the right medicine. Now I’m losing weight, feeling positive and having all the energy I need to get through the day.

Although my journey is continuing because it took years for me to get to this point, I am making much better choices, getting closer to my health goals and feeling like I’m in control for the first time in years.

Thank you, Tracie!

Amy loses pounds and headaches.

Working with Tracie is a wonderful experience! She has helped me make some important lifestyle changes. I have already seen an increase in energy, a decrease in headaches, and have lost over 10 pounds. I would recommend Tracie to anyone looking to improve their health and well-being.
