A little nutrition education can be life changing in the work place. Bad habits can increase the risk of chronic illness, and affect not only your employees’ lives, but your company premiums as well. Not feeling our best makes it hard to do our best in the work place, and leads to more sick days.

You are what you assimilate. Poor digestion can cause discomfort, and over time may lead to more serious digestive ailments.

Historical and scientific evidence show that our ancestors did not suffer from many modern chronic diseases even though they ate wholesome, unprocessed fat-rich foods. Discover optimal sources of fats and how they are part of a healthy diet.
