Gentle Nutrition Program – Geanina Manea

Welcome to the universe of Gentle Nutrition, a unique program created by Geanina Manea, pharmacist and nutrition technician, founder of Ulav. This program combines nutrition science, pharmaceutical experience, and a holistic approach to help you nourish your body and soul with joy. Gentle Nutrition is not just a meal plan, but a lifestyle that guides you toward balance, energy, and a harmonious relationship with food—without restrictive diets or unnecessary stress. Discover below what Gentle Nutrition means, how the program works, and why it’s the ideal choice for a healthier life.

What Is Gentle Nutrition?

Gentle Nutrition is a personalized health approach based on simplicity, balance, and body awareness. Unlike traditional diets that impose strict rules and fast results, Gentle Nutrition teaches you to make healthy food choices adapted to your needs and lifestyle without feeling deprived or overwhelmed. The program is supported by Geanina Manea’s expertise, with over 10 years of experience as a pharmacist and training as a nutrition technician, and includes:

• Intuitive eating: Learn to recognize your body’s signals and choose foods that nourish you physically and emotionally.
• Holistic health: The menus support both body and mind, reducing food-related stress and promoting overall well-being.
• Flexibility: Plans fit your lifestyle, whether you cook at home, order food, or have a busy schedule.
• Vitality through juices: Inspired by Geanina’s experience in Bali, Gentle Nutrition includes cold-pressed juices, rich in nutrients to boost energy and support digestion.

This program is ideal for those looking to lose weight healthily, manage conditions like sensitive gallbladder, iron-deficiency anemia, or bloating, or adopt a balanced lifestyle. With Gentle Nutrition, health becomes a pleasant and sustainable experience.

How Does the Gentle Nutrition Program Work?

The program is designed to be intuitive, practical, and personalized, fitting perfectly into your daily life. Here are the main steps:

1. Initial Consultation (1:1)

Duration: 60 minutes

Goal: To understand your unique needs and set your goals.

Includes:

• Evaluation of lifestyle, daily routine, and food preferences
• Analysis of goals (e.g., weight loss, more energy, managing bloating)
• Discussion of medical history and conditions (e.g., sensitive gallbladder, anemia)
• Exploration of relationship with food, including emotional eating
• Outcome: a clear, tailored plan to guide your success

2. Personalized Nutrition Plan

What you get: a weekly menu with simple meals, fresh juices, and tips for healthy food ordering

• Simple and accessible ingredients (e.g., soups, seasonal veggies, lean meat)

• Quick recipes for home and restaurant options in correct order (vegetables/fiber → proteins → fats → carbs)
• Moderate portions to reduce bloating and support sensitive gallbladder
• Meal example: raw veggie salad, grilled chicken breast, olive oil, and brown rice, preceded by diluted apple cider vinegar

3. Personalized Supplement Recommendations

Geanina selects appropriate supplements only if needed:

• Iron and vitamin C for iron-deficiency anemia (e.g., gentle supplements with vitamin C–rich fruits)
• Magnesium for stress relief and digestion support
