Microbiome Labs Conference 腸道微生物會議

We attended our first Microbiome Labs Conference this past weekend in Monterey, CA. I learned that the key to having a healthy gut microbiome is critical for your mental health, immune system, the healing of food sensitivities/allergies, the health of the baby during prenatal/postpartum, our hormones, weight management, cardio and metabolic health. Since the imbalanced gut bacteria (dysbiosis) is one the major root causes of most diseases, we should definitely address it as we work with our clients. The biomefx microbiome stool test is such a great tool that can give us so much insight regarding our client’s situation, so that we can better guide and support our clients. Was really inspired by all the wonderful speakers and got a signed copy of two best selling books, Super Gut by Dr William Davis and The Hormone Fix by Dr Anna Cabeca. Looking forward to applying all the new knowledge/tools I learned in my practice. We were also able to visit 17-mile drive during sunset. Hung out and network with other cool functional/integrative dietitian friends, and had early bday celebration with bff Charmine and her bf Jackie.

*Client Review in Yelp 客戶評論*

Angela’s father had been struggling with diabetes, avoiding medical help and causing family tension. When they found me, who speaks Mandarin and shared my family history of diabetes and our journey to reverse it, connected with Angela’s parents. In just three months, I helped lower her father’s HbA1c (3 months avg) from 10.5 to 6.5. I also taught them how to enjoy their favorite foods in a healthier way and introduced diabetes-friendly recipes.

My Story

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Sophie the Chinese Dietitian Coach.

For the past 13 years I helped thousands of Asian professionals and their parents reverse Type 2 Diabetes, high Cholesterol, and restore Gut Health, empowering them to take control of their health through healthy eating habits and strength training.

If you’ve seen some of my client testimonials, you may be asking…

“Wow, your clients have so many good things to say about you. What’s your secret?”

Answer:

I understand the mindset and struggles of the Asian immigrant community because I too was born and raised in Hong Kong and moved with my family to the US when I was 14 and had to learn English quickly and help translate.

When I was 16, my whole family had a very traumatizing near death experience in a major car accident, in which I lost my mom.

Thankfully, a social worker and local church took care of us. I was forever grateful and became a Christian. I committed to making a difference in people’s lives.

During my dietetic internship, I saw really sick people in the hospital suffering from preventable diseases. I wish I knew them 10 years ago so that I could help them out sooner.

My own family also went through Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke, breast cancer, and endometriosis.

My grandma spent the last 10 years of her life in bed after having a stroke.

My uncle had to take a cocktail of pills every morning and had no appetite afterward to eat breakfast.

My 82 year old dad also used to think he had to take cholesterol/diabetes medications the rest of his life, but now thanks to me helping his diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle, he is able to gradually get off them.

It was not easy in the beginning because he was very stubborn and resistant to changing decades of bad habits or trying new things.

But after I convinced him that he would be wasting his money if he didn’t listen to the education he helped pay for, he started to change.

He now does 10k steps, strength training, and swimming every day.

大家好👋🏻 我是華人營養師及健身教練Sophie。

在過去的 13 年裡, 我幫助數千名亞洲專業人士及其父母逆轉 2 型糖尿病, 高膽固醇, 並恢復腸道健康, 讓他們能夠透過健康的飲食習慣和力量訓練來控制自己的健康。

如果您看過我的一些客戶的見證分享, 您可能會問…

「哇! 你的客戶都非常推薦你。你有什麼秘訣呢?

答:

我理解亞裔移民家庭的心態和掙扎, 因為我也在香港出生長大, 14 歲時隨家人移民來美國, 必須快速學習英語並幫忙翻譯。

當我16歲的時候, 我們家在一場嚴重車禍中經歷了非常痛苦的死亡邊緣經歷, 我在這場車禍中失去了我的媽媽。

慶幸的是, 醫院裏的一位社工幫我們聯絡到當地華人教會, 非常照顧我們。經歷到無私的愛之後, 我心存感激, 成為基督徒。答應神在有生之年, 將領受到的愛傳承下去, 致力於用營養和健身去改變人們的生活。

在我的營養師實習期間, 我在醫院看到了患有可預防疾病的重症患者。我在想, 如果能夠十年前就認識他們就好, 我就能早點幫助他們。

我自己的家人也患有2型糖尿病, 高膽固醇, 中風, 乳癌和子宮內膜異位症。

我祖母因為得了中風, 生命的最後十年基本上都在床上度過。

我叔叔每天早上都要服用一大堆的藥物, 之後根本就沒有胃口吃早餐。

我 82 歲的爸爸也曾經以為他的餘生必須服用膽固醇/糖尿病藥物, 但現在由於我幫助他的飲食和整體生活習慣, 教他做負重運動, 他能夠逐漸減少這些藥物。

一開始時並不容易, 因為他非常頑固, 不願意改變幾十年來的壞習慣或嘗試新事物。

但之後我跟他說, 如果他不聽我給他的營養建議, 他變相浪費了自己的錢, 因為我的營養知識都是從他幫忙支付的研究所學費中學回來的, 我這個傳統的亞洲爸爸絕不會浪費東西, 所以從此之後, 他開始逐漸改變。

他現在每天走路一萬步, 去健身房做力量訓練和游泳。

如果您也希望您的父母能夠過有質量的生活而不僅是 勉強生存, 預約免費諮詢。

我每天都會發布有關營養提示、健康食譜和健身的內容

Trying to exercise your way out of a bad diet?

You think you can exercise your way out of a bad diet? Think again! It might work in your 20s or early 30s, but as we get older and our metabolism slows down, this strategy just no longer works. What you eat can either nourish or sabotage your body. You might think you can eat a lot of junk food after you workout because you worked hard for it. Of course this is ok once in a while, but if this is happening on a regular basis, you are just running around in circles. Make your efforts count!
Also, weight loss is not just “Calorie in” vs “Calorie out”. Effective weight loss is a team effort between your workouts, diet, stress management, gut health, hormone health, etc.
