Grocery Store Tours – Schedule a personal, customized tour of Pilgrim’s Market whatever your health goal. Learn how to shop for Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, weight loss and a leaner body composition, organic or more environmentally friendly, budget-friendly, dairy-free, etc. Discover new foods, learn how to prepare them and ask the questions you’ve always been too afraid to ask at the grocery store.
Real-Foods Detox – Detoxification of the body can help reset a sluggish, worn-down body to a more energized state. Eliminating harmful toxins and reviving up detoxification pathways leads to better digestion and metabolism helping us sleep better, have more energy, loss weight easier, reduce body aches/pains, prevent chronic diseases and improve our overall quality of life!
Diagnostic Testing – Using diagnostic testing can help a registered dietitian nutritionist better pin-point the cause of underlying health issues. For example, we know spinach as a health food but for some, the body may be producing antibodies (an autoimmune reaction) against it and drawing inflammation to the gut. Other times, symptoms such as fatigue, muscle spasms and skin irritations may be due to an underlying micronutrient deficiency.
