Proper diet is essential for healing. As Hippocrates said: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
When we eat real, unadulterated foods, healing happens much faster in the body than if we’re consuming things like sugar and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
That’s why we have a health food store right here in our clinic to provide nutritionally dense foods that are essential for your body to heal. As a member of the Weston A. Price Foundation, we are dedicated to adhering to its guidelines, providing only the best quality and most sustainably produced products.
These guidelines include:
- No refined or denatured foods or ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup, refined sugar, white flour, ultra-pasteurized dairy products, skim or low-fat milk, refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils, synthetic vitamins, toxic additives
and artificial coloring - Products from pastured-raised animals including muscle meat, organs, and bones
- Products high in food enzymes and beneficial bacteria from the lacto-fermentation process of vegetables, fruits, beverages, dairy products, meat, and condiments
- Sprouted, soaked or soured products including flours, grains, breads, crackers, and snacks
- Healthy fats such as coconut oil, pastured butter, fermented cod liver oil, suet/tallow, olive oil, sesame oil, flax oil, grapeseed oil
- Frozen and packaged items that meet high standards and help with a transition to a traditional diet
We also carry:
