Bianca Elizalde
Wellness advocate and The Wholesome Table founder
Like many of us twenty years ago, Bianca Elizalde wasn't as enlightened as she is now about wellness and nutrition. She started reading up on the topic and through her own research, discovered its importance in a lifelong wellness journey. As she embraced a healthier lifestyle, Bianca wanted to share the importance of listening to one's body and nourishing it based on its needs. Many factors come into play to achieve holistic wellness, but she believes eating healthy is at the core.
Bianca's path to promoting healthy eating emerged from her experiences traveling abroad. While healthy meals were readily available overseas, it wasn't the same case in the Philippines. Driven by their genuine passion for healthy eating, Bianca and her husband established The Wholesome Table as an extension of their practices at home, offering delicious food options prepared with much thought and consideration for the body’s needs. Their restaurant has since evolved into a platform for sharing Bianca's personal advocacy of promoting mindful eating without compromising on flavor.
Bonding over healthy and delicious meals
Family meals hold so much significance for Bianca Elizalde. As she learned more about nutrition, she became more conscious and discerning of certain food's effects on the body. Little by little, this mom of four changed her family's eating habits until healthy eating became second nature to her kids.
“I value our time spent together over meals because that is where I’m really able to teach my kids the value of a healthy meal without sacrificing flavor.”
Those habits were formed through the consistent practice of eating together at home. These moments allow them to connect better and deeper and develop a healthier relationship with food. It is also through preparing their food together that mindfulness is observed in their home every day.
Exceptional Home-Cooked Meals With Sub-Zero and Wolf
"You can control how well you feel, and how well you are" is one of the most eye-opening revelations Bianca Elizalde learned from the nutrition books she perused. It has helped her shift her perspective on food, making her realize how the food we consume profoundly affects our overall wellness.
However, the lack of better food options was one of the challenges for Bianca at the beginning of her wellness journey. Many people can relate to that even to this day. An empowering step to start curbing this challenge is by preparing home cooked meals. When she began cooking meals at home, she appreciated how it gave her control over ingredients, portion sizes, and cooking methods. Since then, she has continued the habit of cooking for her family, finding joy and fulfillment in nourishing them with wholesome, homemade dishes.
