Howdy Folks!

My name is Briana Southward and I am a Certified Holistic Nutritionist as well as a Certified Iridologist. The most important thing you need to know about me is that I have a deep seeded passion for food! I love eating it, cooking with it, learning about it, and most importantly, sharing what I know about it.

My foundation in nutrition started the moment I was born. This is because my parents were sprout eating, supplement taking, health food store shopping, hippie like health nuts. Looking back on those years, I am grateful for the food they fed me. However, to be perfectly honest, there were a few hairy years full of multiple teary eyed outbursts. I just couldn’t understand why my friends all got Jo Louie’s, Flakies, Gushers, and those yardstick rolls of fruit roll up, while I had to sit there eating fresh fruit & veggies with the odd treat of homemade fruit leather. The older I got however, the more I realized how right they really were and have been following in their footsteps ever since.

Although nutrition has been a passion for a long time, I only recently started pursuing it as a career. Previously I attended Wilfrid Laurier University for the Honours of Bachelor of Business Administration program. With this degree I worked as a business strategy consultant with a specialization in marketing. It was this understanding of marketing that made me realize some companies provide healthy products and clear accurate messaging. Where others unfortunately, provide messaging that I believe to be misleading to consumers. Many of these products make various health claims, use ‘fancy’ wording, or omit information to boost sales while simultaneously misleading consumers into thinking the products are healthier than they really are.

I set out to provide an unbiased opinion of the products by undressing them to show readers what is really behind the marketing. This includes products that are healthy and some that in my opinion don’t live up to their health claims. Since I also love cooking, I throw in some recipes and other nutrition related tidbits.

That’s me in a nutshell. Welcome to TheNakedLabel family, the home of ‘tell it like it is’ nutrition information.

I look forward to doing some serious undressing with you in the future!!

Yours truly in Naked health,
Briana Southward
