More than any other factor, nutrition -- the fuel we give our bodies -- has the distinction of being the only major determinant of health that is completely under our control.

The quality of our food choices influences our internal ecology -- our biological terrain -- and as such, nutrition determines our ability to live with energy and vitality as well as our ability to respond to stress, how well we sleep, what we weigh, how we age, how strong our immune system is, and even how we love. Maintaining a healthy biological terrain is what prevention of disease is all about, and nutrition plays a key role.

Nutrition: the Cornerstone of Biological Terrain
"Our Daily Bread"

At the moment of birth, one of our very first experiences is to be fed, and throughout childhood, many of us were manipulated by food. Therefore, we learned to use food and drink to numb our pain. Have you ever been consoled by food when you were upset about something? Because of these experiences, the evocative nature of food, with its potent effect over our senses and our emotions, is a very powerful force. Consider what it feels like to have a hurried breakfast or a romantic dinner. Food certainly has the power to change how we feel, yet we also have the power to exercise control over our food choices.

Making health a priority begins with what we put into our mouths. It matters.

As you realize that nutrition builds your biological terrain and therefore can influence the quality of your life, consider the value of professional services to maximize the benefits of your nutritional efforts. It's exciting to work with an experienced natural health professional because learning things about yourself from a holistic perspective will serve you, and your family, life-long. In the future, you'll be better able to make sense of conflicting information, and it's empowering when the light goes on and you say Ah-ha!

Our goal is to help you achieve a balanced biological terrain through better food choices for yourself and your family.

Finding Your Balance Through Nutrition
"The Garden of Good & Evil"

A healthy garden needs rich soil, water, sunlight, and weeding. If just one of these elements were missing, we'd find weak, sick and unhealthy plants. The fact that some plants require more sunlight or less water, simply reflects individual differences; it doesn't negate the need for any of these basic elements.

Likewise Because of your individual differences, a natural healthcare specialist can help thoroughly investigate your personal needs. At Natural Nutrition, we employ a combination of methods to help you determine what's right for you, including your:

Natural Nutrition incorporates the most advanced science and recent innovations to serve our clients and customers. Two of the most recent are the science of Biological Terrain and the Body Gem TM. We are proud to be a leader in the Rochester area in offering these services.

• metabolic rate
• blood type
• body type
• gender
• ancestry
• genetic constitution

We believe that simple things can provide major benefits and so we focus on the simple things first. Once we've laid an appropriate foundation, it's just a matter of supporting your body under varying conditions and circumstances. We are very good at helping you put together the pieces of your individual puzzle, and we strive to support rather than suppress the signals the body provides. We always seek to understand the root cause of a problem and to honor the innate wisdom of the body, mind and spirit.

Making Changes
"Kicking & Screaming"

Too often, feeling ill, or getting a diagnosis from our doctor is what motivates us to make changes. Sometimes when we wait this long, it's too late. Don't let that happen to you!

Fortunately, disease is not really ever as silent as is sometimes believed. Our body always gives us clues, but sometimes years go by before we pay any attention. While medicine can be life saving, taking a prescription to silence a clue is like turning off the smoke alarm while the fire is still burning. Unless we address the underlying cause, the body, in its wisdom, will just give us another clue ...one more serious than the next.

For example, when our urine or saliva pH is too acidic for too long, our calcium (alkaline) reserves are used to neutralize and balance out the acid. As a result, we'll notice little nagging clues like a cold or a problem within our structural system -- hair, skin, nails, bones, teeth, muscles, connective tissue, and joints. The body in its wisdom will always short-change less important areas first, before more vital organs. These clues are early signs of a nutritional deficiency. A trained specialist will help identify what clues to look for, teach you how to correctly balance your system, and provide ongoing support and encouragement.

Natural Nutrition recognizes that for most clients, change is a process that begins with awareness and a need for information. Our educational classes and seminars are a great way to open this door. You might be surprised how much you love learning about natural health -- and yourself! We've expanded in our new location so we can offer a comprehensive environment to support every step of your transition for years to come.

The truth is, doctors and medically trained persons just aren't always informed about natural remedies, so you may have to learn about them on your own. The information we can offer you and your medical professional is available in a variety of options. Choose a seminar, certification program, or a study program in video and audio. Learning about natural health is easy and exciting because the body just makes good sense when certain principles are understood and applied.

A Word About Weight
"Kiss Your Arse Goodbye!"

Weight loss plans that promise spectacular results in a matter of months, weeks, and even days are very enticing to people who want to shed pounds quickly. However, without knowing your actual resting metabolic rate (RMR) you will probably fall short of your weight loss expecations. The fact of the matter is, not knowing your metabolic rate is like trying to balance your checkbook without knowing how much you're spending! By balancing the calories you consume with the calories your body burns, you'll know how much you're "spending."

Before the Body Gem(tm), it hasn't been simple or affordable to accurately measure your metabolism. Natural Nutrition offers the Body Gem metabolic rate testing service along with instruction in the Balance Log software so you can easily program and monitor your daily and weekly caloric and nutritional intake. We recommend that you be re-tested as your metabolism changes -- which will help you to reach your goal and keep the weight off for good!

SynerSlim -- Losing weight easily can be an attainable goal with Nature's SynerSlim. This formula helps to burn excess fat without the use of ephedra. While some weight loss products consist mainly of laxatives and diuretics, SynerSlim may help you achieve the desired weight and look you want without depleting your energy.

MetaboStart -- This comprehensive, convenient, and effective weight loss program helps you achieve your desired weight by using a powerful combination of ingredients. With this product you may safely enjoy the benefits of ephedra, such as reduced appetite. None of our ephedra products contain caffeine. By avoiding caffeine while using this product, you'll avoid the negative effects generally associated with other weight loss products that often combine caffeine with ephedra.

Thermo-Chi uses a process known as thermogenesis, which raises your body temperature to speed up metabolism and increase the number of calories you burn. This two week packaged program is safe, effective, and easy to use.

Men's Special Needs

It may not always be easy to identify a male health related issue. Men are often stoic about their health, but there are certain prevalent male concerns recognized today that should not be ignored. We carry many wellness products that men will understand and be comfortable using. Below are nutritional supplement suggestions for Prostate concerns:

Children's Special Needs

Running, jumping, playing, and growing- childhood activities take a lot of energy. That energy comes exclusively from a healthy diet. But as any parent knows, getting kids to eat what's good for them isn't always easy - nor is it always possible, with our busy lifestyles. While nothing can take the place of a nutritious diet, Herbasaurs daily children's supplements provide added nutritional insurance. That means a lot, with today's kids under assault from so many unhealthy foods, the environment, and other factors.

Herbasaurs daily supplements are brimming with essential vitamins and minerals, including important anti-oxidants. They're sweetened with natural fructose and come in yummy citrus flavors. They contain no artificial colors, flavors, sucrose, starch, or preservatives -- just the good things to get your kids off to a healthy start every day.

Paw Paw Lice Remover Shampoo -- Lice is a problem more common than we like to think. Most shampoos used to rid children of head lice have a very high chemical content, making it a possible risk to your child's health. This remarkable, non-toxic shampoo has proven to be extremely effective in ending the lice problem without producing negative chemical side effect. It can also be used safely on your pets to rid them of lice and other insects.

Aging Gracefully

As the nation's baby boomers reach retirement age, our concerns about the cost of health care have sky rocketed. People want to ease into their older years with good health and vitality. Natural Nutrition carries a number of nutritional supplements for a variety of age-related health concerns such as digestion, eyesight, memory, physical decline, energy, and vitality.

Protease Plus -- Doctors agree that as we grow older, our bodies produce fewer digestive enzymes. Enzymes are considered to be the foundation for overall health. A lack of sufficient enzymes can often be the root cause of a variety of health concerns. Protease plus combines crucial enzymes with trace minerals to provide essential digestive system support.

Perfect Eyes -- Few of us have perfect eyes. Sunlight, artificial lighting, and free radicals can all damage the eyes, and, as we age, our natural antioxidant production decreases, exposing us to further problems. Perfect Eyes is specially formulated with herbs and nutrients that support eye health, including antioxidants and Lutein, which have been shown to significantly support eye health.

Brain Protex -- Ensuring the health of brain cells may promote memory and increase brain function, which is especially important to us as we mature. Brain Protex utilizes powerful antioxidants believed to protect brain cells from free radical damage, in addition to giving the brain special nutrients to aid proper functioning.

N-Acetyl Cystine -- Living a long life has meant that your liver has worked long and hard to protect itself from chemicals and other toxins such as household cleaning agents and prescription medications. As our concern for liver health increases, N-Acetyl Cystine makes its debut just in time to help your long over worked liver. In addition, this formula has been known to enhance skin and eye health.

IGF-1 -- What if it were possible to feel younger and stronger? IGF-1 is a formula that has been shown to restore and maintain muscle and bone mass, improve energy and endurance, support healthy joints, boost the immune system, and support sexual performance. Sounds a little like drinking from the fountain of youth, doesn't it?

Cellular Energy -- People who experience fatigue or who need an energy boost for prolonged activity could benefit from supplementing their diets with Cellular Energy. This formula initiates that spark of energy, right at the cells. It's like having your battery charged from the inside out!
