​ Hands up if you’re feeling exhausted and burnt out? 
Hands up if you’re counting down the days until your holiday?
Hands up if each day just feels like a struggle?
 
I know. I used to feel this way too.
 
At times, it didn’t even matter if I got 9 hours of sleep overnight. I used to wake up feeling absolutely exhausted, almost like I had never slept.
 
Holidays were always amazing, but then a couple of days before it would end, I would always get that sick, anxious feeling in my stomach.
 
Why? Because I was thinking about the holiday ending and having to come home and get back into the same old routine. 
 
I had to plan the next holiday before this one finished so that I knew another break was coming up.
 
Then, when I started on my journey to improve my health and wellness, I realised that I actually could feel a lot better within myself every single day.
 
I had the energy and vibrancy I needed to get through the day without it being an absolute struggle.    

I would wake up early (without an alarm!) because my body didn’t need any more sleep.

I could enjoy my holiday the entire time and come back feeling relaxed because I knew that I could cope with my normal day to day activities.
 
Doesn’t this sound amazing?
 
And I know that you may think that it’s unbelievable, but I know that you can feel like this too.

​Pasta is always the go-to meal when you are looking for something quick and easy and I completely understand why.  I mean, what could be more simple than boiling up some pasta and pouring over it a pre-made jar of pasta sauce???

However, with this meal comes loads of sugar, some preservatives and little nutrition.

Now, this does not mean that you have to eliminate pasta from your diet!

My video below shows you exactly how quick and easy it can be to whip up a delicious pasta dish in under 10 minutes using limited ingredients that are all nutritious.

See how easy it is to make quick and healthy versions of your favourite meals?

It doesn't look so pretty, but my goodness this was the best tasting smoothie I have had in forever!

A simple blend of frozen blueberries, a frozen banana, baby spinach, cinnamon and almond milk.  Simple right?

And you would probably say that there is absolutely nothing special about the ingredients at all. 

However, let me tell you, that is WRONG.

This smoothie was super special for me and let me tell you why. It would have to be over 5 years since I have eaten a banana.... crazy, right? 

I have been 'too scared' and 'too afraid' to eat them because of the higher levels of sugars in them (and they're natural sugars we are talking about) when compared to other foods, and the weight it may have caused me to put on.

This has been my life for soooo many years. Avoiding foods which have been labelled as 'bad foods' (even if they are natural, wholefoods) because of the negative effect they may have on that number on the scale which was a driver for me in so many ways.

But where does this all stem from?

To be honest, there is no simple answer. What I do know is that this intense, health journey that I have been on for the past 3 months to control and heal my auto-immune condition has opened my eyes in many ways.

I have recognised that when I first made the decision to start dieting, back when I was 16 years old (and without revealing my 'old' age, that is over 20 years ago) I lost the ability to trust my body and to read my body cues. Instead, I made decisions based on society, habits, short-term satisfaction and a lack of trust in myself around food.

In my current healing journey, where I am eating a raw, vegan diet to allow my body to repair and re-set, the deep emotional component of this journey has been the most rewarding. 

It is such an amazing feeling to be able to have more of an understanding about what food my body is asking for and actually listening to its clues and feeding it what it wants.  To be able to establish a 'healthy' relationship with food has always been a dream and it feels so good to know that I am achieving this.  

It's not about whether food is 'good' or 'bad', it's about recognising how your body is talking to you and the reasoning behind it.

I am far from planning a night out to an Italian restaurant and ordering a bowl of pasta for dinner followed by a tiramisu for dessert, but I have come a really long way in getting more in tune with my body. And for so many of us, it is something I think we have all lost along the way.

Having an auto-immune condition means that in the long-term I will always need to be mindful of the foods that I am eating and the way it affects my condition.  But, the difference is I AM now in control of these decisions rather than being dictated by society, a number on the scale or a list of "good" or "bad" foods.

I know first-hand how quickly good intentions fade during that chaotic 4:30-7:30pm timeslot, or the busy mornings where coffee is breakfast and you stuff a packet of something sweet in your handbag to keep you going through the day.

You don’t need to feel ill, burnt out, or tired every single day.

Health coaching can change all this and I want to make the journey to a vibrant, healthful life so much easier for you. 

My years of experience in the health industry, and as a working mum, give me unique abilities to support busy women to make lasting lifestyle changes. For themselves and their families.  

I provide one-on-one health coaching programs, cooking classes, and informative workshops with the philosophy that health is a whole-person venture. This means that not only do I design my programs around your lifestyle and your story, but we look at you, as a whole being, with spiritual and emotional needs as well as physical.

Your success is my success, and I am dedicated to making sure you achieve your goals and feel well from the inside out.

My work aims to educate and inspire you so you are always equipped to make good choices.

When you’re ready, my coaching programs can help you stop worrying about your health, and start making the necessary changes that will help you become the woman you were meant to be.

Stuck in this never-ending cycle of stress and rushing, my passion for my work was suffering, as was my health. I had to make a change - to bring my smile back, to fuel my body better, to change my health for lifelong well-being.  
Soon after my own journey back to health began, a friend suggested I carry my passion for health and helping people through to personal training. This was the push I needed to quit my corporate job and study a Certificate III and IV in Personal Training with the Australian Institute of Fitness. Ever since then I have been training people in a gym connected to my house here in Melbourne.

The transition from PT to Certified Health Coach was a natural progression as I realised that women needed more than just exercise and food to feel well.

Like many of the women I was meeting, I wanted to make a difference to not only my own health, but the health of my family. This lead me to experiment with a clean eating diet and discover the Institute of Integrated Nutrition where I started my training as a Health Coach.

The timing was perfect, and in one blaze of glory, I emptied our house of every bit of processed food, learnt as much as I could about how food can fuel, nourish and heal the body, and started building a library of easy-to-make recipes that supported my health and well-being. I was amazed at the new energy we all had with this change and with my new-found love for preparing healthy food for my family and friends. I  wanted to start sharing this revelation with others.

Now my passion is running Vital Assurance, as the reassuring hand on the shoulder of women facing the same fears, bad habits and daily challenges I had (and still do). I love the work I do, and how I can see REAL changes in the women I work with.

I hope you’ll join me in one of my coaching programs, I’d love to show you a new way to live.

Yours in good health,

Keren Slutzkin
Certified Holistic Health Coach

You’ve been told that one more supplement or vacation is the answer to feeling drained and flat all the time (and the mysterious way your clothes seem to be shrinking). 

But true health, true vitality, and true well-being, comes from taking control of your life and turning it into the life you lie awake wishing you had. 

If you’re feeling trapped beneath the weight of overwhelm, not knowing where to turn and wondering if this exhaustion and hectic lifestyle are here to stay … then let me help.

Vital Assurance health coaching is for you if: 

I offer three health coaching services to support you wherever you are in your health journey. 

Changing your lifestyle is more than just changing your shopping list.

Working with me is different from other health coaches because I believe in a holistic, whole person philosophy. You’re more than just a wife, friend, sister, or ‘Mum’. You’ve got your own vibrant light to shine. Isn’t it time for you to let it out?

Give me a call to book your free discovery session, and find out how I can help and which package is right for you. Let’s take the next step together.

Virtual coaching is available. Virtual sessions are available via Zoom (free app).
All program fees are paid upfront unless arranged otherwise.

You rush through the morning routine to get to work where your day is back-to-back meetings until you rush out the door at 5pm to pick up the kids so you can rush through creating something quick and easy for dinner. And then the chaotic night time routine begins and you fall into bed to do it all again tomorrow. Wait, did you even eat your own dinner?

You’re on your sixth diet or weight loss program this year. The last five failed miserably but you’ve got great hopes for this one because a couple of girls at work said it changed everything for them.

You’ve lost count of how many exercise regimes you’ve started and given up on, and think you’re just lazy and can’t stick to anything.

The rut you’re in is so deep you can barely even see over the side of it anymore and you’ve forgotten what it’s like to feel like yourself. You’re desperate to make a change but can’t get your head around all the options, and things just keep getting worse.

Together we discover:

We all have days when we are lacking that inspiration in regard to what meals you are going to prepare, and you just don't know where to start!

That is why having these six pantry essentials in your house is so important. Last-minute dinner ideas and thrown-together snacks for unexpected guests can come together easily when you have simple, foundational ingredients on hand. The below six are my favourites, and I use them ALL the time!

Lemons
A lemon can add flavour to almost any dish! Fresh lemon juice is fantastic for flavouring chicken or fish, while some lemon zest can add depth to marinades, salads or grains. Lemon is a source of vitamin C, which can help boost your immune system too!

Canned Items
Canned items such as tuna, tomatoes, beans and chickpeas, are easy ways to add protein, make sauces and add flavour to a dish.

Vegetable / Chicken / Beef stock
Keep portions of frozen stock, or purchase organic cartons of chicken, vegetable, and beef stock. These can be used as bases for soups, stews and curries or even simply to add subtle flavour to quinoa or rice. With the veggies and protein you have in your fridge, you can throw together a meal in no time.

Quinoa
Quinoa can be used for so many different snacks and meals. Add it to salads, use it instead of rice or pasta, make them into burger patties or make some quinoa porridge, especially in this colder weather.
As well as being super versatile, quinoa is also packed with goodness. It is gluten-free and has a great amount of protein, carbohydrates and fibre.

Oil + Vinegar
The perfect combination not only for salad dressings but also to add some tang to your meals. Be cautious though, as oils aren't always as they seem and you need to be careful with the oils you use for cooking, especially when using a high temperature. I like to use olive oil for low temp cooking and salad dressings, coconut oil for higher temp cooking and avocado oil for salad dressings.

Spices
Having a range of different spices on hand can add so much flavour to your dish without the added sugars of many store-bought sauces. By simply changing up the spices that you use, you can create a completely different dish. For example - combining cumin, cinnamon, coriander and salt is more middle eastern inspired, whereas, smoked paprika, chilli powder, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder and salt is more Mexican based. Generally, if your spices are stored well in an air-tight container they have a shelf life of up to 1 year.

With these key ingredients, you will have no trouble putting together a quick, delicious and nutritious meal even on those days when you 'can't be bothered'!
