Left untreated, hypertension increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and more. For this reason, it’s important to check your blood pressure on a regular basis, so let us offer you a blood pressure reading for free with Dr. Sara Jean Barrett! You can have your blood pressure checked at the beginning of the month, take advantage of the great January classes and demos offered in our store, and then have it checked again at the end of the month to see the results!

Whole Foods Market Los Altos is hosting a FREE screening of the feature film Forks Over Knives. This film examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods.

What has happened to us? Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure.

FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.
