MY STORY

I was born and raised in the South West of France, one of the most renowned gastronomic regions in the country. Aurillac, where I grew up, is the capital city of one of the oldest French cheeses, Le Cantal. It’s also a place of nurturing and healing and is home to traditional slow-cooked dishes made using fresh whole foods. Each year I return to France to reconnect with this hub of healing and good food.

The pillars of my upbringing include the positive attitude of the French to life and food known as joie de vivre, a healthy delicious diet, and the philosophy of food as medicine. You can read more about me here.

Only 35% of the French population is overweight compared to 65% of Australians and New Zealanders… My goal is to set you up for life to get healthy, slim and look younger while eating for pleasure just like the French do. If millions of French people can do it, so can you!

MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER

Healing nutrition is also in my blood. My late great grandmother Marguerite was a popular cook and a healing practitioner during the 1920s. She’s my inspiration and guide and I’ve inherited her personal practitioner book, full of invaluable recipes, home remedies and handwritten notes.

My philosophy also draws on Dr Weston Price’s work, based on the study of the diets of many ancient societies before the era of processed foods. His research shows that eating nourishing, traditional, local, fresh foods can help achieve optimal lifelong health – including the traditional French diet, which still makes 60 million French, one of the healthiest and slimmest populations on the planet.

With my time-tested approach to health, based on traditional food wisdom backed by modern research, and a century of family expertise, I’ll show you how a healthy diet can be a delicious diet, not one dictated by detox juices or raw kale.

Adair, 39, recruitment consultant

“Over the past 10 years I have been left feeling so UNinspired by many food movements in Australia. Juice diets, paleo, fasting, detoxing! Yuck!!! I started to HATE food. What a shame. Food is one of life’s great joys. Anyway, I started to reconnect with food through reading your blog posts and embracing the French way. So, thank YOU for inspiring me once again. Our family life revolves around the kitchen table and it is a joy to enjoy food. “

Lisa, early 40s, director in the art industry

“Yves taught me to eat with happiness and health in mind.  The food I now eat is all about nutrition and medicine but tastes more delicious than ever.”

Isabel, late 50s, lawyer

“I didn’t want someone to tell me I could not eat chocolate, cheese or drink wine, and Yves’ approach did not ban these so I signed up for a plan with Yves, and it truly changed my life”

Angela, 44, restaurateur and busy mum

“Food is very important to me and always reminds me when I was backpacking in France in my 20s. I never felt as healthy as I did back then. Now with Yves’ help, I feel 21 again.”

Alice, Early 60s, mum of 4 adult kids

“I realised my bad habits were just that habits and with Yves coaching they could be changed and healthy habits could replace them.”

Andrew, late 30s, photographer

“My energy levels increased, my mood was improved and I even lost weight without even trying to lose weight!”

Craig, 42, passionate barista and excellent cook

“While doing Yves’ program I have lost 5.5kgs. I have had people say my skin looks good, I have more energy and it was nice to see results every week. I would recommend the program to anyone. It’s not a diet, it’s about what we put into our bodies. It’s such an easy life change.“
