WHO AM I?

I’m Sylvie Boland, a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (Nutritional Therapy Association) and a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach. I’m also a certified Spiritual Success & Life Coach and Personal Trainer (National Academy of Sports Medicine).

For so much of my life I searched for less. I wasted countless hours in grocery aisles, staring at labels, methodically curating menus low in calories but rich in toxins. I was that girl— fit and strong, a paragon of health. But, in reality, my diet was so nutritionally devoid that at 30, I broke my hip. After an intense surgery to save my leg, and a definitive judgment from my allopathic medical team that there was no hope of rebuilding my bone density, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and began my journey towards genuine health. 

This path is not always linear. There are days I find myself drawn toward old habits— convinced waking up early to exercise after a bad night’s sleep will serve my goals, or feeling self conscious when a skinny friend skips the bacon I’m offering and opts for black coffee instead. But, over the last decade I have gained bone mass, health, and perspective. 

I’ve collected notes on what I’m eating, how I’m moving and most importantly how I’m feeling. I understand my body now – I finally speak its language. I’m attuned to the way chemicals impact my immune system, how chronic undereating and over exercising affects my physique, what a hearty stew does for my mood, and how minerals improve my focus. Becoming body literate has afforded me true autonomy. I don’t always make the “best” choices, but I do always learn something from my experiments. I embrace having different seasons and goals, I nourish myself with rich liver pate, fully loaded spicy pork burritos, big Caesar salads with thick dressings and fresh prawns, grass-fed rib-eyes and broccoli pan-fried in generous spoonfuls of ghee, and enormous bowls of  organic ice cream.

Today I fill my cart with nutrients, I own my own home free of plastic, I pick up heavier things than I ever imagined, I work less, eat more delicious things, look better, and feel incredible. Today I am filled with pride as  I admire  the strong healthy child my body grew and birthed and nourished in my nutrient dense, chemical free home. It is with deep awe and gratitude that I can pay forward my understanding and passion for health and the gift of true vitality. I’m proud to be a #buttermom

I would love nothing more than to support you as you embark on your own adventure toward true body autonomy!
