Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. If our mind is pure and peaceful we shall be happy, regardless of our external circumstances, but if it is impure and unpeaceful we can never be truly happy, no matter how hard we try to change our external conditions.

...what patients experience as symptoms and diseases are not the real problems, they are a result of their lives - what they eat, do and feel, and their deeper issues, attitudes, beliefs and emotions. I really believe that doctors and all healers need to work with people and their lives, and not just their diseases.

Testimonials

Kelly is truly brilliant. I cannot say enough how impressed I was with Kelly's thoughtful attention and analysis...

She is very knowledgeable, extremely thorough, and a pleasure to talk to.

I really liked Kelly's comprehensive approach. We didn't just talk about diet; we talked about lifestyle, exercise, stress levels, etc. and how all of these things are interconnected. Kelly made a huge effort to understand what I needed by focusing on my specific concerns and taking a common-sense approach to my diet. She didn't recommend potions or magic bullets and didn't advise following any bizarre or trendy diet. Instead, Kelly gave me practical and realistic advice about things that I could do better. She also backed up all of her recommendations with thoroughly researched analyses (which I loved) and supplemented her advice with recipes; perfect.

Her advice, by the way, was spot on. I feel so lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her services highly enough. It is very rare that I feel like I get my money's worth for a particular product or service today. For the thoughtful care and detailed analysis I got from Kelly, I feel like I should have paid her more. A lot more. She's that good.

Thank you so much, Kelly.

I’ve been following the plan and feeling great both mentally and physically. I’ve lost 10 pounds and have really enjoyed discovering new foods and re-discovering healthy alternatives.

I have completely switched to the new beverage and have seen a huge difference in mucus build up. I have also kept up with the suggested supplements and am very happy with them. Thank you so much for what you have done to help me start achieving my goals so far.

-- Tamara, Ottawa

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the information I came away with after our two visits.

We have found so many new flavors and foods that both my husband and I are enjoying (he is also receiving the benefits from our new eating habits). Not that it was my biggest concern, but I have seen results in the weight loss area, but more importantly I am feeling better. I really feel like this has been a lifestyle change I can live with and do not feel like I am missing any foods or denying myself anything I want. I have even encouraged a friend at work to try it out and have shared some recipes from the cookbooks you suggested (my parents are next!).

-- Amy, Ottawa

I'm noticing a huge difference in my energy levels. I don't need to be in bed by 9:00 pm anymore.

Mornings are also better, getting up is no longer difficult and I'm able to walk our puppy first thing. With the increased activity and improvements in my diet, I'm also starting to see some weight loss.

-- Monique, Ottawa

I'm really happy with how I'm feeling. Following your advice, I'm making an effort to add more protein into my diet and to consume carbohydrates from healthier sources.

You were right about the sugar fixes: after a week of cutting sugar out of my diet, I hardly crave it and I'm feeling much better. The changes I've made have helped me to feel much more satisfied and have helped my training, and my ability to recover, enormously.

Thank you again for all your time Kelly... it's invaluable to me. I appreciate your insight and input. It's making me sit back and try and figure out what I'm doing and why...

It's much easier to accept this type of information from someone like you....what do I mean by that... someone as beautiful, healthy, vibrant and in control as you are.....I'm glad we met!

-- Paula, Ottawa

I thank you again for taking the time and care to write me all these helpful advices.

They are great tools for me to understand myself and how my body/mind works. You are very nice and I appreciate every word and especially your kindness.

-- Sylvie, Ottawa

I am indebted to the great nutritional advice of Kelly Mulcair of www.TrinityNutrition.ca, a local Ottawa business that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Everyone at the running clinic agreed that her talk to us was the best of all 16 we received.
