Health Starts Here

Our Health Starts Here program is dedicated to helping our customers and team members make healthy eating choices and thereby circumventing conditions that have been associated with the nutrition-poor Standard American Diet (SAD diet), such as high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, cancer and a plethora of other medical conditions.

Are you ready for weight loss or healthy weight management without having to count points or go on the dreaded diet? Would you like to naturally detox your body through nutrient-rich foods?

We are featuring two unique third-party healthy eating partner programs to provide easy-to-follow guidance for shoppers and Team Members. Both offer 28-day “getting started” plans while providing plenty of room for personal choices to help those who are interested in starting on their own journey down the road to optimum health.

The Eat Right America 28-day Challenge provides you with a personalized nutritional assessment tool, called “Nutrition Prescription,” which offers individual nutrition and health assessments combined with personalized eating plans. To access this 28-day challenge, go to EatRightAmericaChallenge.com to begin your challenge.

The Engine 2 28-day Challenge is based on a plant-strong plan that can help with weight loss, lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of disease. Rip Esselstyn, former pro athlete and firefighter, outlines the plan in his “Engine 2 Diet” book where he combines the wisdom of some of his medical heroes —including his father, Caldwell B. Esselstyn, M.D.— with the real-life account of Rip helping his former firehouse colleagues change their health for the better by eating differently. More information can be found at engine2.com/

There is in-store support to help you with questions, menu ideas and to introduce you to new ideas for foods that follow the Health Starts Here guidelines.
