Wellness Education

Food is one of our most powerful tools to use to maintain health, prevent and treat disease.  Hippocrates said, “let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”  There are vast applications for food and pharmaceutical-grade nutrients, and this is a common therapy used at Healthy Being Natural Health Services.

Healthy Being incorporates a holistic approach to diet and health, emphasizing food quality and self-care. Food allergy and sensitivity, digestive support, immune support and weight-related dietary change are particular areas of interest.  Melissa Gallagher, a Certified Wellness Coach, can provide you with wellness recommendations to support healthy living and to address the root cause of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Melissa is adept at guiding you through the “health food” maze! She provides you educational hand-outs with simple recipes, cooking information and meal plans.

A unique service we offer is a guided shopping trip to local grocery or health food store to help familiarize you with different foods to buy and prepare. To learn more about our grocery shopping tours click on the services page.

 Your lifestyle refers to your eating, drinking, sleeping, working and thinking habits; where you work and live; how you deal with stress; how you deal with relationships, and the like. The way you live your life is a determining factor in your health.

Here at Healthy Being Natural Health Services we are ready to meet you where you're at, whether you need suggestions for better eating, creating more time and space in your life or how to change negative and destructive thought patterns.
