Health & Fitness Sleuth Services

Working with those concerned with heart disease, diabetes, and weight control to interpret and apply the nutrition data on commercially produced food and supplements.

Example

  • You buy a sugar free cookie only to discover the first ingredient listed is high fructose corn syrup (this is sugar).
  • You buy a cholesterol free granola bar that has partially hydrogenated vegetable oil; a trans-fat which is even more dangerous than saturated fat.
  • Are you eating fat-free products only to gain weight rather than lose unwanted pounds?
  • Interactions between herbs, supplements, and prescriptions?
  • Is there a difference between natural and synthetic vitamin E?
  • Is there really a magic pill that will produce instant weight loss?

Commercially processed foods can sabotage the healthiest of eating plans.

Heart surgery in late 1994 was a major wake-up call for me and I begin to read anything I could find on the subject of heart health. It did not take me long to discover that a healthy heart requires a healthy lifestyle.

Stroll down the aisle of your local supermarket and you will find an abundance of products all boasting they will improve your health no matter what your health concern may be. Beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing, their ingredients tell you otherwise.

It is my mission to help you recognize the wolf in sheep’s clothing in the health food industry.

Through 12 years of research I have learned there are many loopholes that allow companies to make claims that are misleading; because of this it is critical to actually read the ingredients. Reading the list of ingredients on every product you buy is very time consuming.

I work with my clients to save you time and money in both your supermarket and local health food store.
