Personal Well-Being

Nutrition and Supplements

We advocate for a whole foods based diet that consists of high quality local organic produce and pasture raised animals.  It is also referred to as the paleo diet.  It is the diet that Dr. Mercola (www.mercola.com) recommends as well as the Weston A. Price Foundation, The Maker's Diet (Jordin Rubin, founder of Garden of Life), and The Body Ecology Diet (Donna Gates).

Visit The Atrium Isagenix store and browse around.  Contact us for a customized plan to reach your unique health and wellness goals.  We use a unique approach that combines purging your home of toxins, showing you how to make healthy food, and navigating the complexities of supplementation and healthy shake options.

EveryBODY is different.  We want to help you come up with a unique plan!


Local healthy organic restaurants we recommend:
 

Stanwood: 

Firelight Bistro!  One of our favorite restaurants in town serves non-GMO and mostly organic dishes along with many gluten free options at affordable prices.  They even have a kids area upstairs for parents of young children who often find eating out stressful!

La Conner: 

SEEDS bistro & bar: Features delicious seasonal fruits and vegetables from our local farmers, free range chicken, fresh seafood, grass-fed beef and naturally nested eggs and more.

Seattle/Greenlake:

Thrive CafeThrive's mission is to provide the healthiest food available in a restaurant setting; to demolish the myth that to eat healthy you must sacrifice deliciousness; and to provide a new choice where one was previously unavailable.


Health websites:

Mercola.com:  A natural health site with thousands of pages of useful health tips for optimal health.  Make this your number one stop when searching for health information before visiting your doctor.  Sign up for the newsletter as well for health tips twice a week. 

BodyEcology.com One of the best resources on making the world's most healing foods that are packed full of bioavailable nutrients and beneficial probiotics.  Life changing website that is best to look at after reading "The Body Ecology Diet" by Donna Gates.

Garden of Life:  A great resource for a few healthy recipes and many quality health products (mental, spiritual, and physical)

Eatwild.com: Your source for safe, healthy, natural and nutritious grass-fed beef, lamb, goats, bison, poultry, pork, dairy...and other wild edibles. 

Realmilk.com: Healthy milk is hard to come by these days.  Most milk that you see at the grocery store is not very healthy and can actually cause allergies, deficiencies, and prevent you from absorbing the nutrients you need.  This site has a lot of good information on what makes milk healthy and where to find the good stuff!

Dr. Terry Lyles: The secret to Good Stress is found in the alignment of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical capacities, combined with work/rest cycles at home and at work.
