- Extreme hunger
- Unusual weight loss
- Increased fatigue
- Irritability
- Blurry vision
Christie Wilson is the Founder and Director of Wellness Adventures. She has a private practice specializing in nutrition and holistic health counseling. Her mission is to empower and inspire women who struggle with food, to live with balance, health, and joy.
She has been trained in integrative nutrition, has studied with Visionary Nutritionist Marc David in the psychology of eating and soul-based nutrition, and has had training in healing emotional eating using a mind-body-spirit approach, with eating disorder specialist and transformational healer Jane Latimer.
Christie says, “I love the way it feels to be healthy and do it in a way that‘s holistic, without pushing my body and spirit to the breaking point. I feel balanced, energetic, happy, and at peace. I’ve lost 82 pounds and I am more alive than ever. But there was a time when it wasn’t so. There was a time when food ran my life. I was a compulsive overeater and hopeless. Even though I tried every diet under the sun, I felt powerless over the food. What I saw in the mirror was a reflection of my unhappiness and isolation. I felt lost. Then in blinding flash of the obvious, it became clear. I had literally let food abuse me. I decided it was time to take back my power and I sought guidance to do so. As I found my way back to health and wholeness I finally had hope again. My confidence and personal power grew. I learned more about holistic health, and healed and transformed my body. Now I am so excited about what I have discovered and created for myself, I just have to share it with you.”
Christie has a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and has been an RN for 26 years. She graduated from the Professional training program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in
