Anastasiia Dela Cruz

CERTIFIED NUTRITIONIST, MOM, INFERTILITY SURVIVOR

I help (wellness-driven) women (who are struggling to start the family) and dealing with irregular or missing periods create hormonal balance and optimize their nutrient intake without stress. So that they can improve their digestion and have a healthy pregnancy when they are ready, unlike other methods with generalized restrictions, I use a holistic approach that incorporates nourishing and nutritious foods, mindset, and lifestyle changes that support and optimize individual body needs and create healthy relationships with food.

Hello there,

I am Anastasiia, and I am so glad you found my website. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am a Certified Holistic Nutritionist specializing in women's health, a mom and a wife, real food-obsessed, and I have a thing for coffee and avocados.

Why did I start this blog:

Years ago, in my early 20's, I went through the roller coaster of nutritional and training highs and lows. I got caught up in crazy diets and exercise routines to become healthy. As a result, I dealt with hormonal issues, was misdiagnosed with PCOS, lost my period, struggled with infertility, and was told that I won't have kids naturally. I suffered from an eating disorder and gastrointestinal issues… And the list, unfortunately, goes on.

For years I was trying to fix myself. I researched, read numerous self-help and diet books, talked to dozens of health practitioners and doctors, switched my exercise routine to yoga & meditation ( I even went through Yoga Teacher Training ), but nothing worked.

And while I made just about every mistake you could possibly make on my way to getting back my health; I also pursued my degree in Nutrition as a result of it. Once I became more educated and did some experiments on myself, I got my period back and eventually became pregnant.

I am here for you. My goal with this site is to show you that proper health is not about counting calories, obsessing about a perfect diet, depriving yourself, and having a "perfect exercise routine." I want to help you heal mentally and physically and leave healthier, nutritious, and well-balanced lives without straining yourself.

Here I share my journey, knowledge, and experience with all of you. I know how it feels because I have been there. I am still there, and it is not all that perfect all the time.

I still judge myself while standing in front of the mirror and while looking at my plate. This means I know the pitfalls.

A few things about what you expect to see here and experience while working with me:

I strive to buy Organic, non-GMO, and sustainable foods because I believe it's better for my health, my family, the environment, and the farmers who grow our food.

I do not believe in counting calories! While there is nothing wrong with knowing what is in your meal, picking a specific number that will limit you every day to how much you can eat leads to bad relationships with yourself and the food you are eating. I believe there is a better way.

Diet is just one part of an equation.

I'm blessed to be a mother of two little girls. As a very busy mum, you can trust me when I say my approach to nutrition is practical, realistic, and can adapt to your lifestyle. I believe that making a healthy, home-cooked meal doesn't have to be complicated or take too much of your time.
