MEET YOUR HEALTH COACH
MY STORY
Hi!
I am Ajinder Plahey, a holistic health coach devoted to educating and empowering busy professionals to improve their mind-gut connection.
My desire to help people lead a well-rounded life began during my own journey of overcoming serious health issues. Like many people in their twenties, my lifestyle wasn't healthy - I was working full-time and attending culinary school part-time, which took a toll on my well-being.
This fast-paced lifestyle led me to consume unhealthy food, resulting in severe inflammation, IBS and high cholesterol.
My lifestyle not only had a significant impact on my physical health, but it also overstimulated my mind, leaving me in a constant state of tension and stress. I realized I wasn't mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually aligned and knew something needed to change.
Mind/Full MISSION
Having personally experienced a profound transformation from burnout and inflammation to a state of well-being and mindfulness, I am passionate about empowering other busy professionals on their journey toward inner harmony.
My mission is to guide individuals toward a more balanced and fulfilling personal and professional lifestyle through dedicated nutrition and mindfulness education.
MY JOURNEY
Becoming Nutrition And Meditation Certified
After reaching the breaking point with my health, I attended the Institute of Integrative Health, where I received my certification in nutrition. This was life-changing.
I learned to balance my primary food - non-food sources of nourishment, such as:
Creativity
Career
Movement
Spirituality
Relationships
​
This helped me balance my secondary food sources:
Fruits and vegetables
Proteins
Whole grains
Dairy/Alternatives
Fats
Hydration
Inspired by the holistic approach to health, I pursued certification as a meditation teacher to better understand the connection between the mind and gut.
This is where Mind/Full was born.
Mind/Full VALUES
1
EDUCATION
Working with a health coach is not about following a rigid plan but discovering the tools to live life to the fullest. We'll use tools for self discovery to create a plan to support your bio-individulaity.
2
MINDFULLNESS
A mind/full approach considers the entire individual. Most coaching focuses on the mind or the body, but I believe in connecting the dots to understand what we need to feel fulfilled.
3
EMPOWERMENT
My commitment to guidance and support will empower you to make informed choices that resonate with your individual lifestyle, creating a lasting impact on your well-being.
4
BALANCE
Understanding the interaction between your primary and secondary food sources is the key to establishing balance in your lifestyle. We fail to consider a holistic approach without considering one or the other.
HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WELLNESS
Beyond its primary function of survival, food is medicine. It can support our longevity, energy, mental clarity, and fulfillment.
The food we eat regulates daily functions in our body and significantly influences the composition of gut microbiota, which can impact mental health and cognitive function.
Understanding this vital connection helps illuminate a holistic approach to supporting my clients with their overall well-being.
Serotonin is essential for regulating mood, and 95% of it is produced in the gut. Therefore, prioritizing gut health is crucial for physical, mental, and emotional wellness.
My holistic approach considers not only what feeds our bodies but also what feeds our souls.
Considering your unique circumstances, I’ll create a holistic health plan serving your entire being.
Together we will focus on:
​
Using food as medicine
Incorporating mindfulness to help mitigate stress
Deepen your nutritional insight
Enhance your cooking knowledge
Empowering you to make informed decisions for your health
