These are just a few of the reasons we started the Challenge 🌱⁣
⁣
Eating a meatless meal once a week has been associated with improved heart health, reduced risk of developing chronic health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, and increased longevity. On top of the health benefits, you can also reduce your environmental impact by swapping out your animal-based protein for a plant-based alternative! ⁣
⁣
Take a peek at some of our previous posts for some meatless meal ideas and don’t forget to get in your submissions for our May challenge by Sunday, March 31st. There’s still time to win a 6 month membership and a grocery store gift card 🙌🏼

Today we remember all the brave individuals that have served for our freedom. 💙

We’re so thankful for your support during this time. We are excited to announce that we are welcoming clients back into our offices* 🙌🏼 In order to keep both our clients and team safe, telehealth sessions will remain in place for those who qualify to limit interactions in the office. For more information on the procedures in place for in-office meetings, click “contact us” or visit our website. We can’t wait to see you! ⁣

“I have had lupus for 15 years. Along with regular doctor appointments and medication, I think the best thing I did for myself was to learn about nutrition and follow a well balanced eating plan. I want my body to be as healthy as possible so I can live my best life with lupus and the more I learned the more I knew nutrition was the key to that. A good diet not only could help me keep my organs healthy, it also improves my energy levels and sleep and combats some of the lousy side effects of medication. I felt so passionate about it I planned on going back to school to become an RD... but when that didn't work out, I found the next best thing and started working for a team of RDs!” ⁣
⁣
This comes directly from one of our hardworking administrators, Janice (check out the the 2nd photo to see her lovely smile!), who also lives with lupus. May is Lupus Awareness Month and today is Put on Purple Day! ⁣
⁣
We wear purple to raise awareness and rally support so lupus gets the attention it deserves. The RDs & staff of Nutrition HealthWorks put on purple to join the cause. We invite you to do the same! 💜
