When the pandemic hit, Parsons photography student Nuala Vizard moved back into her parents\u2019 Westchester home. Suddenly sedentary \u2014 and plied with her mom\u2019s homemade pasta and tacos \u2014 she noticed she was gaining weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt constantly bloated, I was having trouble sleeping, [and] my breathing was a lot heavier,\u201d she recalls. In just three months, she packed on an extra 10 pounds, and by August the 5\u20198\u201d Vizard weighed 184 pounds.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI was just feeling really gross without really knowing how to fix it,\u201d she says. So she\u00a0visited Dr. Charles Passler\u00a0\u2014 the nutritionist guru to supermodels\u00a0Bella Hadid\u00a0and Adriana Lima, as well as stars Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, whom he helps keep trim, alert and strong. Passler devised a plan that would not only help Vizard shed extra pounds, but give her a complete lifestyle overhaul.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe really gave me the motivation to [change my habits],\u201d Vizard says. \u201cIt was about losing weight and changing my diet, but also [about] getting into a more positive mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since that first visit, in August, Vizard has lost nearly 50 pounds. She\u2019s done this not only by adopting a plant-based diet (and eliminating processed foods and alcohol), but also adhering to a strict sleep schedule and doing yoga or light cardio for 20 to 30 minutes four to five days a week.<\/p>\n

Passler tells Alexa that his approach to nutrition is holistic. He looks not only at diet but also stress management, sleep, breathing, exercise and hydration \u2014 all factors in determining health and weight \u2014 and works with clients on their own personalized plan to fit their needs.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about lifestyle,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s not about, \u2018Go see Dr. P. and get ready for your wedding.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Passler starts his new patients with an elimination program \u2014 cutting out all meat, caffeine, processed sugar, grains and dairy, as well as alcohol \u2014 for the first week or so to detox. He recommends a plant-based, nutrient-dense, calorie-dilute, low-fat diet. (He scoffs at paleo or keto fads: \u201cYour brain is powered by carbohydrates!\u201d he practically shouts when discussing high-protein evangelists.)<\/p>\n
