Simple Habit-Change Principles for a Lasting Healthy Lifestyle

Here at FRESH Start for Health, our approach is based on simple, practical habit-change principles that you can apply to create your lasting healthy lifestyle.

We partner with you by holding a grace-driven view of taking small healthy steps to build lasting lifestyles for wholeness.

We believe and teach whole-health habits, using the most natural means possible.

Everything we do is to empower you to meet the needs of your body, mind and spirit for total health and wellness through FRESH foods, mindset and daily habits.

We are NOT a diet plan, fad weight-loss program, or promoters of any weight loss products – we simply share easy, everyday ways to create a lifestyle of health and happiness! We do not focus on a big list of no-no’s (who needs more of that?) Instead, we empower you to create a healthy plan that fits your lifestyle!

A good plan to live by to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle is one that is simple to understand, delicious and easy to follow. Something that fits naturally into your life instead of taking it over!

Our values & philosophy for a healthy lifestyle:

Each person and lifestyle is beautifully unique:

Realizing and respecting that each person’s unique situation affects their individual eating plan and needs, we tailor our coaching, materials and classes to meet those needs. For those looking for specific nutritional guidance, we generally support a modified version of the Mediterranean USDA food pyramid here at Fresh Start.*

It is SO important to keep family priorities in balance:

You’ll find many sources of inspiration and guidance here at FRESH Start in the area of family/life balance! Nowadays, families are eating together less often due to hectic lifestyles. Even playing, praying, and exercising together seems to happen less frequently. Priorities are uniquely different for every family. Yet one key principle is the same for all of us; for a family (or an individual) to achieve healthy emotional and spiritual balance, TIME cannot be replaced with any other ‘shortcut’ and priorities mean EVERYTHING to health! If you want to eat family meals together more often, you’ll find helpful ideas to do that here. Shared meals strengthens families and encourages healing conversation – mealtimes DO matter!

We have found that being a family of faith has centered us.

Our families attend church together, serve in our communities together, pray together, and even strategize through difficulties together. This is something that has truly grounded us over the years. You will find many articles, ideas, and recipes empowering this idea here at FRESH Start for Health! Our entire program is built on faith-based principles of health and balance.

*Of course, for those on a specific meal plan or diet due to a medical need, we support their modification of the plan and encourage that they follow wisdom in any alterations to it.
