NUTRITIONAL THERAPIES

Keto Gut Repair

Ketogenic diets are higher in healthy fats than paleo/primal nutritional plans and much lower in carbohydrates. Please note that I work with Ketogenic gut-repair nutritional plans that exclude certain fats such as dairy, eggs, and nuts. General keto diets allow those foods. Please see the Paleo and Primal recipe section for other recipes that include nuts and eggs.

  • 60-75% of calories from fat (or even more)
  • 15-30% of calories from protein
  •  5-10% of calories from carbs

The general macronutrient ratio guidelines are:
The exact amount of your daily fat and protein intake depends on your individual body responses and activity levels. However, most people on ketogenic diets don’t consume over 5% of calories from carbohydrates. You likely won’t need to count calories unless you’re goal is weight loss and you’ve hit a plateau.

Paleo and Primal

Paleo and Primal diets are based on the premise that our ancestors didn’t eat processed foods and grains so we aren’t genetically designed to do so either. Eating Paleo or Primal has many benefits but may not work for everyone.

Our paleolithic ancestors got a few things right when they consumed:

  • Three times more produce than the typical American,
  • More fiber,
  • More protein,
  • More omega-3 fatty acids,
  • More unsaturated fat,
  • More vitamins and
  • Minerals,
  • Much less saturated fat and sodium

Vegan Diet

Veganism means no animal products are consumed, not even honey.

Vegetarianism has more variations, some eat eggs but no meat, others eat fish but no other animal or fowl, and others eat dairy but no other flesh food.

  • Lacto-ovo-vegetarians eat both dairy products and eggs; this is the most common type of vegetarian diet.
  • Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products but avoid eggs.
  • Ovo-vegetarian. Eats eggs but not dairy products.
  • Vegans do not eat dairy products, eggs, or any other products which are derived from animals.

Raw Food

Raw food diet consists of uncooked, unprocessed, hopefully organic foods including raw fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains. It is primarily plant based. Some raw foodists also consume raw eggs, meat, fish, and dairy products.

Food is never cooked but can be warmed as long as it doesn’t get hotter than 118 degrees F.

Some things are dehydrated and usually never a temperature greater than 108 degrees F. The idea behind this kind of diet is to keep enzymes and nutrients in the foods alive and available because cooking can destroy them.

TESTIMONIALS

My personal experience of working with Kristin was a very positive one. I felt that I was working with someone who has great knowledge as a healer, but also a level of wisdom and compassion that is uncommon. I highly recommend her as a healer and an advisor.

I fought cancer and lyme’s disease for 8 years before meeting Kristin Grayce. I had worked with a long list of doctors, advisers and practitioners, but my success was marginal. Chronic pain and fatigue and fevers were wearing me out. Finally, after working with Kristin Grayce these past 4 months I can honestly tell you that my health has begun to greatly improve. She has changed my diet, and worked on my brain, body and overall health in a holistic way unlike anything I have ever experienced. The work deepens every month. A couple of examples of what has already changed: Migraines I’ve suffered weekly for years are gone! Fevers I suffered regularly have yet to recur. For the first time in 8 years I know that my health and energy levels are improving and allowing me to live fully! Kristin has, in a very short time, given me back my life!

For years, I struggled with anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, eczema, and digestive problems. It was not until my sessions with Kristin McGary that I found any relief. Her “whole health” outlook which balances the emotional and physical has truly changed my life. She has true passion for the wellbeing of others, founded on great knowledge and amazing on-going education. After receiving treatments with Kristin and by following her suggested diet and lifestyle changes, my skin is the best it has ever been! My energy level and stamina are great. My insomnia and fatigue are just fading memories! I have recommended Kristin to my family and closest friends, all of whom give wonderful reports. She is a true gift for those in need.

I let a year go by deciding if I should spend the money, but the truth is I have spent way more than that over the years without the same results. I now know I am worth every penny and so is Kristin Grayce. She made me feel comfortable to push through things when it seemed to hard to go on. I felt completely taken care of physically, mentally and spiritually.

I want to thank Kristin for her comprehensive healing work. I was recovering from months of antibiotics and surgeries for a infection that would not go away. Kristin helped me in multiple ways including acupuncture, cranial sacral and an advanced analysis of my blood. I don’t know of anyone else who is doing this comprehensive approach to healing. The guidance I received from Kristin on altering my diet to heal some of the underlying conditions that months of antibiotics had triggered was life changing and has opened up so many new doorways for me.

Jill H., Tucson, AZ

I am 67 years old and was feeling okay, especially in light of my age. However, I decided to work with Kristin Grayce because I was getting more and more tired, and I am so glad that I did. After following her recommendations, I feel better than I have in years and have a lot more energy. I have always had a hard time getting up in the morning, but now I wake up early feeling fresh and eager to start the day. I never thought I could feel so good, and I am simply amazed at the difference. Thank you, Kristin Grayce!
