Gallucci – Holistic Nutrition from Ryan Jacobson on Vimeo.
Before Rebecca Gallucci leaves her house to begin her work day as a middle school Speech and Language Pathologist, she makes sure she brushes up on the news, does her morning workout routine, and most importantly, packs her healthy snacks to get her through the day. In addition to her job as a Speech Pathologist, Gallucci, a 2006 graduate from Providence College, is two months away from obtaining her certification as a Holistic Nutritionist.
“A Holistic Nutritionist is a person who helps heal others through the use of a whole foods, plant-based approach” says Gallucci.
In addition to her daily workout, healthy eating habits, and studying her Holistic Nutrition books, Gallucci’s favorite pastime is staying up to date on the latest nutritional trends by reading multiple health and fitness blogs daily. The following are a few of the blogs Gallucci recommends.
• ohsheglows.com (a vegan food blog)
• fitn
• simplegreensmoothies.com (tasty and easy to assemble vegetable and fruit smoothies)
• nutritionfacts.org (daily videos and articles regarding the latest in nutritional research)
• fitsugar.com (the latest articles on fitness, health and well-being)
• toneitup.com (a positive lifestyle blog with a plethora of recipes and free workouts)
Gallucci hopes to complete her Holistic Nutrition training by the end of July. As for her future career goals, she hopes to one day be able to counsel people to help them incorporate a whole food, plant based diet, into their everyday lives.
