How do Whole Health Everyday chefs make a difference in their clients' lives?
"I had a client who was a professional football player and needed to lose weight before the season started. I helped him lose 20 lbs by increasing his fresh vegetable intake massively, taking out all processed foods, incorporating a lot of fish - which was newer for him. I had him eating more than he was before, but so much cleaner!"

Are you afraid to cook fish? I hear people say that a lot. But it doesn't have to be difficult. When purchasing fish, make sure it's fresh and I suggest cooking it the same day as you purchase. This dish is a favorite of mine. |

Over the years I have learned better options in storing your food, keeping it fresher longer and nutrient dense. Just like in a commercial kitchen, it is important to use FIFO (first foods in-first foods out or used) when storing your food. This will insure the safety and freshness of your food. |
