Later in life, I integrated equestrian sports with running, CrossFit, and fitness.Through my involvement in equestrian sports, I gained a profound understanding of how a horse&#8217;s body responds to various factors such as nutrition, emotions, exercise, stress, medication, and tension. I was always in pursuit of the right balance and timing to enhance the athletic performance of both myself and the horse.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"gmail_default\">In 2013, I embarked on a Weight Consultant training program. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to complete the program at that time. Fast forward to 2023, and I am now a certified Nutritionist. My perspective on nutrition and fitness is deeply holistic. I firmly believe that environmental factors, in conjunction with nutrition, medication, stress, grooming, overall health, and exercise\/fitness, play a crucial role in shaping the final outcome and have the potential to reverse certain disease processes, including conditions like cardiovascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"gmail_default\">Now, in 2023, after several challenging years dealing with the pandemic and witnessing a high percentage of people suffering from lifestyle-related diseases, my enthusiasm to make a positive impact is at its peak. It&#8217;s time for me to share my knowledge and experience in this field, to coach individuals and guide them toward a healthier lifestyle. My ultimate goal is to welcome those who seek to age gracefully, staying youthful and fit throughout their lives.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9bbdccb\" data-id=\"9bbdccb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cf06f22 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cf06f22\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-743529a\" data-id=\"743529a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d68d52d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d68d52d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A new face at Het Voedingshuys!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f59f7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7f59f7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Starting Sept. 4, Esmee Spoelsta joins Het Voedingshuys as a nutritionist and aspiring dietitian.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-33495c6 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"33495c6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-44d9894\" data-id=\"44d9894\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2e4fb89\" data-id=\"2e4fb89\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2ba879 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c2ba879\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Introducing<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-239e339 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"239e339\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Esmee!<\/p><p class=\"p1\">I have always found the potential of nutrition to transform the body fascinating. This fascination led me to embark on a journey of study in Nutrition &amp; Dietetics in 2021, aiming to expand my understanding in this field.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">During my studies, I concentrated on the Dietitian aspect, delving into various disease areas such as cardiovascular diseases, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, obesity, and the influence of nutrition on behavior. I found this focus to be incredibly enlightening and enriching.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Seeking to broaden my expertise even further, I decided to explore the realm of Lifestyle Coaching. I believe that there is so much more to nutrition than meets the eye, and that&#8217;s why I have chosen to immerse myself in Applied Psychology for the next six months.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">It brings me great joy to witness individuals adopting healthier lifestyle patterns and feeling more vital as a result of my guidance.
