Whole Foods Market celebrates healthy eating for the New Year with a Health Starts Here (HSH) Passport event, showcasing good for you foods and recipes. Using the HSH passport as a guide, shoppers can taste nourishing foods in each department and learn how a few simple dietary changes can impact lifelong health.

Shoppers who visit all the sample stations and complete the passport will be entered to win a Healthy Pantry Makeover.  The winner will receive a $50 Whole Foods Market gift card, along with a list of suggested healthy pantry products recommended by our HSH experts.

Whole Foods Market’s Health Starts Here program provides healthy eating education, empowering customers, team members and stakeholders to make the best health-supportive, delicious food choices to maximize personal health and vitality. HSH focuses on four pillars of healthy eating: real whole foods, fresh, natural, organic, and unprocessed; plant based foods; healthy fats from plant sources such as nuts, seeds and avocados; and nutrient dense foods.

"Your physician has a plan to change abnormal test results with modification using medicine and surgery; Your chiropractor, a plan to prevent pain with activity and movement; Your nutritionist, a diet change."

Get the perspective of how to build your own plan for sustainable lifestyle change using all the above with a “W-holistic Approach”. 
Dr. Ric Saguil will explain how he helps his patients formulate a personal plan using priority assessment of major illness, personal nutrition repletion/elimination, and budget minded changes over time.  Objectives are always sustainability and with so much information/expense it is difficult to figure out who to listen to and where to start.  A step-ladder approach will be drafted so everyone attending the lecture can feel assured that the changes they make are personal and realistic.   Dr. Saguil is a board certified family medicine doctor, certified in medical acupuncture, fellowship trained in sports medicine and a graduate of Deepak Chopra Yoga and Andrew Weil’s Integrative Fellowship programs.
