An interview with Roxanne Anderson
How did you get to become a Health Counselor?
I grew up in a very healthy household. My mother was always concerned
with eating healthy. When other children were guzzling down soda,
we were drinking water and no-sugar added juices. Healthy eating was
always a no-brainer for me. Later on in life my Mother became a health
counselor and broadened her knowledge and my siblings and I followed
her lead. My sister also became a Massage Therapist and my youngest
sister a Private Chef. My career has finally led me to the place where
I belong as a Health Counselor.
I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute
for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating
all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of
traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid,
the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. In addition to this, I've
received a Certificate from Teacher's College at Columbia University
for this training.
How are you different from other Health Counselors?
I take a very logical approach to health. There are principals you
use in other aspects of your life that can be applied to your health
and well-being. I will help you to identify those principals and put
them to use. My philosophy is that you must take things one step at
a time. If not, you will be overwhelmed and probably won’t lead
to long term success.
What is expected of me as your client?
It is expected that you will take this process seriously, like your
life depends upon it…because it actually does. We will set up
a schedule during your first session for all of the following sessions
that you are expected to attend. It’s important for you to keep
an open mind and try new things. My program is meant for people who
WANT change in their life and are willing to do things to make it
happen.
What exactly does the program include?
The recommended program lasts 6 months and includes:
- 12 Health Counseling session – meeting twice a month
- 1 Health food store tour
- Giveaways – including food samples, books, gadgets, etc.
- 2 In-home cooking instruction classes
- Invitations to my seminars and events
Does this really work?
Yes! Taking time to really concentrate on your health is not something
we really think about but you will be amazed at the results. It does
take time and effort on your part, there is no magic pill. But, you
will find that everything you do will be worth it.
