Nutrition Coaching at Mind and Body
Hello! My name is Kim Symons, and I am the Practice Manager and Nutrition Coach at Mind and Body Solutions. I am a Certified Nutritional Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences with an emphasis in Health and Wellness. My role is to help you turn your health recommendations into practical, sustainable changes that work in your everyday life. I work alongside our clinical team to support your individualized care plan, with a strong focus on nutrition, metabolic health, lifestyle habits, and long-term success. Together, we can focus on helping you understand what to eat, why it matters, and how to make it work for your specific needs and goals. Depending on your individual situation, this may include: - Reviewing your current eating habits and identifying areas for improvement - Creating personalized meal plans and food recommendations - Identifying foods that may be contributing to inflammation or unwanted symptoms - Increasing protein and nutrient intake - Improving blood sugar balance - Navigating food sensitivities, dietary restrictions, or other nutritional concerns - Developing realistic strategies for grocery shopping, meal preparation, dining out, and everyday life A large part of nutrition coaching is also education. During our visits, I can help you better understand topics such as blood sugar regulation, protein needs, healthy fats, carbohydrates, meal timing, hydration, inflammation, and how nutrition can support your overall treatment plan. Rather than simply giving you a diet to follow, my goal is to help you understand your choices and build healthy habits you can maintain long-term. I also provide ongoing support and accountability. During follow-up visits, we will review your progress, discuss what is and isn't working, troubleshoot challenges, make realistic adjustments, and continue moving toward your health goals. While even one nutrition coaching session can be beneficial, meaningful and lasting change usually takes time. For this reason, I typically recommend 4–6 visits, depending on your individual needs and goals. Appointments are 45 minutes, $60 per visit, and are generally scheduled about two weeks apart to give you time to implement what we discuss before we meet again.

The Real Reason You Wake Up at 3 AM
Millions of Americans wake between 2 and 4 AM every night with a racing heart and an alert mind. The medical system reaches for sleep aids. The actual problem is metabolic, and it responds to food. You go to bed at 10:30 PM and fall asleep quickly. Hours later sometime between 2 and 4 AM, you snap awake. Your heart’s racing. Your brain is on high alert. Your body is, for some reason, primed for action. Sometimes it’s a hot flash, or sweating, or a nightmare… or even an inexplicable sense of anxiety with no thought attached to it. You lie there for an hour, locked in a staring contest with your ceiling, trying to fall back asleep. Around 4:30 or 5, you finally drift off… Just for the alarm to go off at 6:30. Now you’re wiped out and have a long day ahead. If this describes any percentage of your week, it’s not experiencing anxiety, insomnia in the psychiatric sense, or stress you can't identify. There’s a good chance it's metabolic. Yet the medical system often prescribes a sleep aid, a benzodiazepine, or trazodone. None of those address the underlying issue, but do make you wake up groggier. The 3 AM wake-up is one of the most misdiagnosed conditions in modern American medicine. And the fix is almost entirely about what you eat and when. Before we discuss the fix, here is what is actually happening. Blood glucose normally sits between 70 and 140 milligrams per deciliter during the day, dropping toward the lower end of that range during overnight fasting. Somewhere between 3 and 6 hours after your last meal, glucose can dip below approximately 70 mg/dL. When it does, your body activates an emergency response called the counter-regulatory hormone cascade. The pancreas reduces insulin output, while glucagon signals the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose. Furthermore, the adrenal glands release adrenaline (epinephrine) and cortisol. Adrenaline mobilizes stored energy quickly. Cortisol does the same job more slowly and stimulates gluconeogenesis, the liver's process of making new glucose.
