Wioletta Wilk

Wioletta Wilk is a Licensed Holistic Allergist with the Institute of Natural Health Technologies, and a current student of the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. She will complete her studies at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Holistic Nutrition in June 2008.

Before having entered the wellness field, she studied medicine in Poland and has worked as a Senior Underwriter, assessing medical risks for the Canadian health and life insurance industry, for 16 years.

However, her passion for wellness and natural health began when her five year old daughter started to exhibit heart breaking medical symptoms. She sought the expertise of many medical specialists, but she was told either to “wait and observe” her daughter’s medical condition, or put her on heavy prescription medication, which ran the risk of causing adverse side effects.

Through her research, she came across a BioEnergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE) practitioner who cleared her daughter’s allergy symptoms. Three weeks after her daughter’s last BIE session, her medical symptoms disappeared. Multiple food allergies were also a reason for her daughter’s nutritional deficiencies, which have been addressed as well. Today, her daughter is a healthy child who is doing well in school and is participating in multiple extra-curricular activities.

Ongoing education has always been a big part of Wioletta’s life and she believes that she has been put through this experience to learn from it and share her knowledge about natural health with others.

Easy steps to improve your metabolism:

  1. Make sure you always eat a healthy breakfast. It wakes up your digestive system and helps to speed up your metabolism.
  2. Eat three healthy meals and two snacks per day to ensure a steady blood sugar level and constant calorie burning process. Make sure your meals are healthy and also low in calories if you are not involved in a physically demanding job.
  3. Eat lots of non-starchy vegetables (raw or steamed). They help your metabolism a great deal, as they are low in calories and easy to digest.
  4. Drink at least 6-8 glasses of good quality water per day –always between meals. Avoid drinking with meals, as it will dilute your digestive enzymes, causing slower metabolism.
  5. Add fiber to your diet – psyllium or ground flax seeds (start slowly and drink lots of water with it). It decreases your appetite and improves your digestive and elimination processes.
  6. Get active. Walking at your pace for 30 minutes at least 3 times per week will increase your metabolism by improving your blood circulation and oxygen intake. It will also improve the toxins drainage process, regulate the blood sugar level and decrease fatigue and stress levels.
  7. Avoid stress. During stress your digestion shuts down and your metabolism slows down. Learn a stress management technique which works best for you – breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation.
  8. Detoxify you body on a regular basis by using customized detox diets, baths or supplements to improve your metabolism, rejuvenate your mind and regain your vitality.
