How it Works

*All individual consulting plans begin with a FREE 20 minute consultation during which we listen to YOU.  After learning some background information about you and what your goals are, we work together to offer you a plan that best fits your needs.

Next, we schedule your 1-hour startup consult during which you will receive a fully customized nutrition and wellness program, meal and snack plans, calorie and macronutrient information, supplement recommendations, and other important info to get you on the road to improved nutrition and wellness for the first 30 days.  During the first month we conduct two brief follow ups with you to ensure progress and make modifications to your plan if needed.

Depending on your consulting plan, your program will continue into 60, 90, or 120 day intervals or with 6 month and annual plans for those who want comprehensive services throughout the year.   Hourly in-person or phone/Skype consults are also available to address specific questions.

*Our corporate and workplace wellness programs are designed in cooperation with each unique company and are customized to fit the needs of your employees.  After an initial consult with employers and HR personnel, we draft an action plan for your review and then move forward with company-wide implementation.  This includes employee workshops, seminars, dining services consulting, proprietary printed materials, online access, and individual consults if desired.  We track the results of our workplace programs by measuring quantitative (ROI, reduced health care costs, sick days, increased productivity) and qualitative (employee satisfaction, surveys, and continued participation) indicators of progress.

*We offer workshops and seminars for your workplace, community group, gym, or fitness club on a variety of nutrition, wellness, and brain health topics.  We are available to travel worldwide to offer presentations and will work with you to design a workshop that fits the desires of your audience.  Our presentations are engaging and educational with interactive multimedia, proprietary printed materials, individual breakout sessions, and follow-ups with all participants.  We offer a variety of presentations from a one-hour talk to a weekend-long workshop.  Contact us to discuss a workshop or seminar for your group.  We are also offering workshops open to the public and our schedule along with signup that will be on our website.

Why Work With Us?

With the mess that the health care system has become along with the out of control costs, more people are embracing the PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY model of health and wellness.  Instead of being a passive recipient of health care, the patient is instead becoming a client and taking proactive steps in health education and finding wellness providers to partner with in promoting prevention and reducing reliance on the traditional ‘medicate symptoms’ model.    This proactive approach to individual health results in personal empowerment and improved health, energy, and performance in all areas of your life.

That’s where we come in.  We are here to be your wellness partner and design a personalized program to fit your unique needs, keep you well, and out of the doctor’s office (aside from preventive care and routine check-ups).  Investing in our services has provided an excellent return for our clients, both in their health and in their pocketbooks- saving them much greater health care costs and reducing doctor’s visits, prescriptions, and insurance premiums.

Many of our former and current clients would be happy to talk to you about their experiences working with us.  For a list of references please drop us a line!
