I don’t know about you, but I need a visual to help me learn new concepts. I love the integrative plate in this photo. The Integrative Nutrition Plate focuses on the importance of local and organic produce, some whole grains (limit these), high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality.

In my blogs, I will introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!
