A holistic approach
A holistic approach to nutrition, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect the whole.
No one diet works for everyone
The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has their own nutritional needs. So, when the experts say, “dairy is good for you” or “fat is unhealthy,” it’s too much of a generalization. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets don’t work in the long run. I look at your age, health, activity level, blood type, metabolic rate and personal preferences to determine your dietary needs.
Everything is food
Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual practice are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.
Integrative Nutrition Pyramid
The Integrative Nutrition pyramid depicts a balanced approach to nutrition: more high-quality, organic vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, protein and water; less meat, milk, sugar and artificial food. The pyramid is surrounded with the primary food circle, the parts of life that satisfy our hunger for living and create a balanced life.
Mission
Integrative Nutrition’s mission is to play a crucial role in improving health and happiness in America, and through that process, create a ripple effect that transforms the world.

Gain a better understanding of sugar cravings and what
causes them. Learn how to control then instead of having
them control you. In this interactive workshop we will

toxic, and we will explore and taste healthier
sweetening options. We will also discuss the concept of
the energetics of food and why it is important.

all of these and how to naturally reduce stress, food
cravings and addictions and improve the quality of your
life in all areas.
Gardening 101
Saturday, March 20, 2010

Let’s
get dirty! There is nothing better than getting into the
soil in the spring and creating new life in the garden.
With the high prices of pesticide free produce these
days there is no better time than the present to start
learning how to grow your own food. There is nothing
more satisfying than picking a warm, juicy ripe tomato
fresh from the vine or snapping off a snow pea and
popping it into your mouth. No matter the size of your
yard, you will learn how to prepare the soil, choose
proper plant varieties for your growing area, proper
soil amendments, composting techniques and natural ways
to identify and control pests and diseases. We will
discuss seed starting and transplanting techniques and
the best time to plant outdoors. Learn how to use
containers for growing vegetables on small lots or
patios as well. Seeds and seed starting medium will be
provided for hands on learning.
Mental Health

10 am – 11:30 am ~ Cost: $15
What
does the digestive system have to do with good mental
health? In this interactive workshop you will learn how
what you eat and when, affects your brain and how to
improve depression, mood swings, sluggishness,
addictions and irritability. Learn about
bio-individuality and why there is no one right diet for
everyone. Your diet needs change on a daily basis and
you will learn how to be flexible with yourself and your
diet for the rest of your life, without deprivation and
added stress.
