Providing Nutrition Plan Services for Overall Health and Wellness

What I Do

Impact Nutrition Consulting is a company in Nanaimo, British Columbia that provides nutrition plan services for overall health and wellness. I provide an in-depth review of a person’s current health status. Furthermore, I create evidence-based collaborative wellness plans with clients and any other necessary health practitioners to help optimize health and address the root causes of inflammatory diseases.

I also provide education/information resources, group workshops, access to menu plans, and supplement recommendations.

Through the Integrative and Functional Nutrition approach, I address complex health issues such as:

Gastro-intestinal Imbalances:

GERD

SIBO

Food Intolerances

Autoimmune, Metabolic and Hormonal Imbalances:

Thyroid
Hormonal imbalances
PCOS
PMS
Menopause
Post-Menopause

Adrenal Fatigue
Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Metabolic Syndrome
Pre-Diabetes
Diabetes
Obesity

Brain Health:

Supporting Recovery From Traumatic Brain Injury
Stroke
Depression
Anxiety

Nutrition for Optimal Cognitive Health
PTSD
Addiction Recovery
Promoting Health Span
Information on the Interrelationship Between Gut and Brain Health

Multiple factors contribute to the balance of our health status. These include:

Genetics
Environment
Toxins

Stress
Adverse Food Reactions
Infections

Nutritional Status
Sleep
Exercise

Functional Nutrition uses a holistic approach and considers all of these factors in identifying the root causes of inflammatory disease/imbalances.

My belief is that food is medicine and nutrients are information–how we nourish our bodies will determine how our bodies function. I also believe in the Food First approach, wherein whole foods offer many synergistic factors to support optimal health.

In certain circumstances, supplementation with key vitamins and minerals may be recommended.

I cater to adults aged 18-100+ wanting to become healthy and decrease inflammatory disease. I proudly serve in Nanaimo and Central Vancouver Island.

Testimonials

"In an attempt to improve my health, I dove head first into fitness training but had no clue about how to nourish my body.

I met with Shauna to discuss how to optimize my nutrition and eat optimally. Shauna is approachable, laid back and a wealth of knowledge regarding healthy eating habits.

She took a comprehensive health history and considered my goals and health concerns and shared effective, simple strategies to help me eat well.

Shauna shared digestible, bite-sized information to empower me to make healthier and informed choices that considered my food selection, my hormones, and overall gut health.

I highly recommend Shauna and her expertise to anyone ready to empower their health through conscious, informed food choices."

-Lesley S.

"I have to say a few words, regarding Shauna Prouten and her nutrition expertise. In the past few years, I have been frustrated with some memory loss and ongoing struggles with my weight.

I asked Shauna for her advice and maybe a direction I can strive to maintain. Am I ever glad I did!

We had a couple of relaxed counselling sessions, and I am constantly impressed with her calm demeanour, patience and seemingly endless array of knowledge.

The personal written recommendations she provided, have helped me a lot and I see a very positive difference in my day to day living."
