What's On Your Plate?

Did you know the most powerful medicine can be found right on your plate? That is - if you're eating the right foods!

Through our mission, we educate on how foods promote health and protect against disease. And by doing that, we help you find the personalized nutrition solutions you need for lifelong health and effortless weight loss.

But preserving your health is only one part of the Healing Gourmet® story. In our mission to promote human health, we're also making a commitment to preserve Mother Earth. You can’t have one without the other.

Often, doing the right thing isn’t the easy thing. But guided by our eight principles, you’ll find the right thing isn’t just easy… it tastes really good too.

#1: We Prefer Nature's Packaging:  We promote whole foods in Mother Nature's perfect packaging for health. This ensures you get the most nutrient ‘bang per bite’, while keeping devoid calories off your plate.
#2: We Pass on the Pesticides: This helps to reduce your exposure to estrogen-mimics, increases the antioxidants you get from your foods and also promotes biodiversity here on Earth.
#3: We Go Wild for Fish: We promote the consumption of wild, sustainable fish to help limit your exposure to mercury, PCBs and also to protect our oceans and marine life.
#4: We Prefer Pastures to Pens: We promote humanely-raised, grass-fed meats, pastured poultry, pork and eggs to reduce your exposure to growth hormones and increase the beneficial omega-3's and linolenic acid (CLA) in your diet.
#5: We Keep Chemicals Out: No additives, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors or "man-made" foods to wreak havoc on your health.
#6: We Forgo Fake Fats: No trans fats or olestra here. The fats you’ll enjoy in our recipes and menus are healthy fats… in the right ratios.
#7: We Cook for Balance: Blood sugar balance, that is. You'll notice all of our recipes are low glycemic and as such, help to reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome and cancer.   
#8: We Have Refined Taste...Not Refined Foods: Stripped, extruded, refined grains and sugars contribute to diabetes, obesity, cancer, heart disease and every other “disease of Westernization”. Nothing refined here but our taste.

 

Pack 60% More Nutrients… In Every Bite! 

This group of powerful nutrients is considered Mother Nature’s pest protection. Produced inside of plants (and concentrated in the leaves and fruits) these amazing nutrients fend off pests on the farm… and fight disease in your body. 

But when crops are “dusted” with pesticides, the plants take a vacation from producing these pest-protecting (and health-promoting!) compounds. The result: Foods with less cell-protecting, disease-fighting substances (not to mention the chemical residue).  

Learn how you can pack 60% more nutrients into every bite by choosing foods grown in accord with nature (see Organics: Beyond Green) and the best ways to prepare your foods to increase antioxidants up to 654% (see Smart Cooks Age Better).
