Weight Loss - In our Healthy Family Diet program, you'll learn self monitoring with easy equipment so you can track your progress. We will identify your ideal weight and explain why ours may be a little different than your doctor's recommendation. You'll learn to prevent rebound weight gain because you'll learn healthy eating habits that are good for a lifetime, even after you've lost your weight. We believe that weight loss involves a lot more than calories and exercise. We believe that the whole family needs healthy foods, not separate menus. Just sign up for Healthy Family Diet and let us know that you want weight loss monitoring.
Health Challenges - we look at underlying problems that can be the root cause of symptoms and disease. Whatever your condition, we believe that you will benefit to have more energy, sharp mental focus, and a feeling of vitality. You will learn that some foods can be therapeutic for making improvements to your health, while other seemingly healthy foods are best avoided. Your diet plan will be customized over the 4 weeks. Simply sign up for the Healthy Family Diet Program. If you need additional support, many people add a private appointment to their program. In the private appointment we can get to the bottom of some issues and test for food sensitivities, toxic metals and mineral balance.

These are 90 minute classes:

Classes

The Problem of Gluten - Informational - for people who have been diagnosed or suspect an intolerance. Meets once per month, call the office to register. Monday May 13 at 11AM
Making Baby Food - A good time to take this class is when your baby is 4 months old. Learn to make baby food from scratch. Meets once per month, call the office to register. Tuesday May 21 at 6PM
Lifetime Wellness - Informational: learn how food and nutrients can affect our health and what you can do. This class has been replaced with our Healthy Wellness program on Monday evenings at 5:30. On hold until May 13th.

We also have private consultations:

Private consultations - Simply make an appointment. If you need a diet analysis, supplement recommendations or if you need help working through a health condition, we listen and get to know you. Are foods making you sick? We can test for food sensitivities. Every person is different. Very few people have ever had a knowledgeable person to discuss their nutrition needs with, even when diet is the root of their illness. We will take the time to help you understand which foods and nutrients are right - or wrong for you. Let us know how we can help.
