Sandbox Fitness Oakville | Our Approach to Nutrition Coaching
The personal trainers at Oakville’s Sandbox fitness use a very practical coaching oriented approach to helping people with their diets.
We always start by checking out your ‘hardware’ as you could create the most perfect, nutrient-balanced meal, but if it is being ingested into a handicapped internal environment then it can all go to waste!
We believe a lot of diets fail because the system is damaged so once we’ve assessed this worked through some of these issues we’ll point our efforts toward our ‘software’… At which point it’s all about the DNA of decision making.

Inflammation in the gut is the birthplace of: disease, brain fog, weight gain, and just about everything else that you don’t want for your health. There are so many things that can go wrong from top to bottom (pun intended). Our gut gets beat en up from a lot of different things, but most commonly from stress, lack of sleep, eating foods we have sensitivities to, and drinking stuff like coffee and/or alcohol. 60% of our immune cells live in the lining to our gastro intestinal wall and they are ready to rush into action at any sign of irritation. If/when our gut gets irritated, we get inflammation. Our immune cells require this swelling/inflammation because they are large cells that need lots space to go to work. Things go wrong when immune cells are overactive because Immune cells are like humans, they need rest and recovery; they don’t perform as well when they are working in overdrive. As the immune cells get tired the extra space in the gut wall will allow undigested food to end up in the bloodstream and throughout the body, this is the birthplace of systemic inflammation and systemic inflammation is the mother of bad health.
When it comes to digestion, it’s so important to be aware of the things that are inflaming you, and to know how to equip your gut with the acids and probiotics necessary to help this process happen with as few problems as possible. At Sandbox fitness, our personal trainers look far beyond the calories in versus calories burnt equation. We use this extensive knowledge of the digestive system, hormonal profiling, and proper supplementation to develop a simple approach to healthy living that will work for you.
