Essentials For Health

Felix Rooke C.H.N. Certified in Holistic Nutrition

I offer one-on-one nutritional counselling based on your individual requirements. While we might all be made of the same elements, we each have very individual needs. I will guide you through all the dietary hype seen in the press and provide science-backed information to help you make educated choices on food and your environment. Should you be following - or interested in - a ketogenic, paleo or primal approach, or perhaps even a vegetarian lifestyle, we will tailor your holistic nutrition plan to suit your lifestyle. I will empower you to make healthful - not health depleting - choices by providing instruction on how to shop and cook delicious and wholesome meals made from real ingredients.

About

Lifestyle Guidance

My own journey to finding a healthy lifestyle has given me insight into the many challenges one encounters. This enables me to bring a high level of empathy, respect, and understanding. Life can get in the way of our health many times, things we take for granted when we're younger can wear down as we age and bad habits can leave our body damaged, but with the introduction of good healthy dietary habits and lifestyle changes amazing things can happen. I was a smoker for 24 years, my waist measurement was bigger than my chest, I had a second inguinal hernia surgery, and arthritis on my hip and lower spine (motorcycle accident 1987). From a low point I made a personal vow to do all I could to find health and vitality so I can enjoy the second half of my life. With the right information you too can find empowerment in your own health journey. My personal choice is to follow a well formulated Ketogenic WOE; this choice was made from hundreds of hour of studying the history and science of nutrition. Now, over five years later, i'm still happily living with very low inflammation, great blood-pressure and easily controlled body weight. Physically, I train with body-weight and gym based workouts, along with my continued love of endurance sports.

Testimonials

"Since working with Felix, I have lost over 35 pounds, become more active and energetic, and have much more clarity in my daily thought process. Felix has helped me unlock so many opportunities that I previously thought were impossible. I was 284 pounds in March 2018 and was rapidly gaining weight due to poor food and lifestyle choices. Felix took the time to build a relationship with me and got to know me as a person through a comprehensive analysis of my lifestyle before diving into any details of the changes I needed to implement to improve my overall health. From there, Felix offered ongoing support, advice, and encouragement which aided me in making the incremental lifestyle and diet changes required to become a much healthier and happier person. This has led me to implement sustainable adjustments in my everyday routine that leave me feeling much better than I have in years."

"Shortly after meeting Felix Rooke, I found out he was on a Ketogenic Diet. I was intrigued by this way of eating, attracted to the idea that I could lose weight without feeling like I was starving myself. After starting my weight loss journey, Felix soon became my main supporter and, for lack of a better word, my ‘Coach.’ I lost over 100 pounds in a year. However, the best part of all is the improvement to my overall health. My mind, body & spirit are 100% improved. I learned that the true goal was not weight loss but becoming a healthier, happier individual. Over the course of my journey, Felix has continued to educate himself in Holistic Nutrition and is truly knowledgeable in this field of expertise. He has helped me with my diet, my vitamin intake, my exercise routine, overcoming my obstacles and my own education on nutrition. I would not have accomplished my successes without this mentoring from Felix. A true friend & hero! Thank you!"
