1. Is your style of work/coaching a good fit for me? In the early days of my business as a holistic nutritionist & consultant in the Okanagan, I would have taken on anyone as a client who was willing to pay, regardless of what they wanted. This approach helped my business and reputation to grow - but certainly did not set a good platform for future aligned clientele, or work that felt perfectly natural to me. A lot of energy was spent adapting to different personalities and needs as opposed to focusing on the clients' needs & goals at hand. I also did not realize that early on that I ..read more

Raina's Kombucha Recipe

KOMBUCHA by Lutz Nutrition While I no longer offer my “Experience Kombucha” (the Okanagan’s first organic kombucha!) for sale trade or barter, I wanted to share my recipe with those who are getting into brewing it themselves. Come a long way baby! I started with paper labels and ended up here - offering my liquid medicine in spiritual energy form rather than a drink - and in these unsteady times, fermenting foods is a super way to get back in the kitchen AND back to the land. Fermenting our own food offers us a connection to times of old while also nourishing our gut bacteria. Brew on! You w ..read more

Embrace Grieving When Leaving a Food Behind

Breaking up with foods isn’t pretty. It’s …. well, it’s kind of like a break up. Maybe you got a test done, and learned about foods that are contributing to symptoms you have. Foods YOU LOVE. Sometimes you act out, lash out. Sometimes you’re really sad. “Why can’t I eat that food? Other people can!” Sometimes you go back to the foods. Over and over. Maybe you feel guilty. Sometimes it’s frustrating and you speak openly about that, and other times the drama is 100% all words in your head. Sometimes it feels like you’re in an abandoned part of you, one that you haven’t been in before. You feel ..read more

What do you do with a bucket of local morels? You talk to your chef friends of course! This was one of my favourite ideas so far. So fast, easy and stores well for future, too.

Your Story (Why Would You Work With Me?)

Eating can be easy! Eating can be easy. Don’t believe me? There’s been a lot of lies. We’ve been taught that food is all about calories in-calories out. That it doesn’t matter about the quality of the food, or where it comes from. That tracking calories and portions are an accurate way to shed pounds, and that things like keto are a quick fix. [Read: Keto Diet - 7 Reasons You SHOULD eat Carbs] We’ve been taught that tight, intense, paranoid, obsessed restricting is normal. We’ve been taught that the constant preoccupation with food and the amount of it is normal. Especially for women who are w ..read more

Why I Ended My Relationship with Alcohol

Letting go of drinking was hands down one of the scariest things I’ve ever done! I never spoke about sobriety or alcohol in my practice as a nutritionist because I was still drinking. Sure, I knew alcohol wasn’t good for our liver. But hey! We’re in wine country. We can support local. We can have fun and… I figured if we all maintained balance, it wasn’t really an issue. The thing is that I learned… the majority of us do not have balance with it. Granted the last couple years has given us more than enough reasons to think about drinking even more (and the stats to prove it) and many of us did ..read more

Grass Roots: Eating the Local Food Movement
Lutz Nutrition Blog
by rainadawnlutz
2y ago
Simple, local, organic “real food” is the natural way of living that goes back to days of old. But it’s not about key words, bigger sales, hot topics & trends. Done right, it's a grass roots revolution. Eco-conscious products, and mind-expanding coaching stemming from a love of the time it all started, the underground & alternative movement that started eco-consciousness, back-to-the-land vibes, organic food, self-development and taking responsibility “way back” in the 1960's.

Why you DON'T Need "Portion Control" [You Already Have it]
Lutz Nutrition Blog
by rainadawnlutz

“What is the right portion of food to eat?” I get asked a lot about portion sizes. If you picture yourself as a human in the bush, just a natural little human, before we had concrete jungles’ and grocery centers, you wouldn’t REALLY worry about portions, would you? You would forage and eat when you were hungry, and if you had an excess you’d stop eating when you were full. How’d we lose that? Fast forward to diet culture today. We’re told we need to exercise ‘will power’ in order to keep portion control under our thumb. We’re told we need to count, track, worry, judge and OBSESS over our diet ..read more

Why I Guarantee to Never, Ever "Recruit" You [MLM-Free Space)

Multi-level marketing has been a hot topic in the circles I run in. Sometimes to critique the products’ quality, but most of the time it’s concern over how the company runs and it’s ethics. In the last year and a half it’s become increasingly (read: crazy) common to see folks jumping on the band-wagon of these, with the promise of making a really good income on the side while working from home. All you have to do is post about it on Facebook and message your friends. The truth? MLM’s hurt people, friendships, your wallet and your trust/integrity.
