There are many fads and gimmicks in the weight loss industry, but to get lasting results you need to understand your body and proper nutrition. Philosophy Nutrition & Fitness helps you do that through consultation, meal planning and education. “The more you are aware of your body, the more you will take care of it,” says owner Jessica Hess.
When she graduated from the dietetics program at the University of Alberta, Alberta Health Services was in the midst of a hiring freeze. So Jessica started doing some private practice presentations to corporations. She fell in love with private practice and opened Philosophy Nutrition & Fitness. “I really enjoy it,” says Jessica. “It’s a different approach to nutrition than in a hospital because the focus is on prevention rather than treatment. Instead of helping people overcome the concerns they already have, you are helping to prevent people from getting chronic disease in the first place.”
