Wellness - Health - Nutrition - Functional - Balance - Vitality

Choose Education Not Medication

In the past 15 years we have seen an over-abundance of information on health and wellness. Unfortunately, all the information is not necessarily validated or specific to your individual situation.  The Earth and Water Wellness Institute provides answers to many of the questions through comprehensive education in the application of nutrition and natural health as therapy to reverse the trend of the erosion of our health and happiness.
Your diet & lifestyle should NOT: 
  • Impede your health, activities, work or family life
  • Make you depressed, bloated, irritable, anxious, tired, overweight, underweight
  • Cause you digestive pain or discomfort
  • And it should NOT cause you guilt, worry, confusion or obsession!

Your diet & lifestyle SHOULD:
  • Support your overall health (body, mind and life), activity level, work and aspirations
  • Feel comfortable, be appetizing and satisfying
  • Help you feel centered and calm with a clear and focused mind and disposition
  • Keep your weight and energy at a comfortable and optimal level naturally and with minimal effort and confusion
At the Institute, we are concerned about the personal and environmental impact of processed foods and poor nutrition in the U.S. and around the world. The mass consumption of nutritionally depleted, high calorie foods is now a significant factor in the exorbitant cost of medical care. Food production from the farm to the table has been based on profit, consumer convenience and addictive taste, rather than on providing wholesome foods that support health and longevity. In a large percentage of American households, over-consumption and malnutrition are contributing to obesity, diabetes, heart disease and many other physical and mental health conditions. A significant part of the answer to our national health crisis lies in good nutrition, the cornerstone of health and vitality.

Cancer, obesity, heart disease and diabetes, along with many other conditions, are the products of stressed lifestyles that center on processed convenience foods. They are tasty and cheap, yet the price we ultimately pay is our health. At the Institute, we believe that the road to vitality is through nature and her back to basics nutrition from sustainable agriculture.

There has been a burgeoning demand in the public sector for sound nutritional information and natural remedies, as opposed to drugs. But, our approach is to empower individuals with the information through educational courses that allows students to understand their state of health and happiness in a more holistic manner. We also provide resources for organizations and professionals to more easily teach and reach out to their communities.

The Wellness & Natural Health programs, courses and retreat topics help you discover and eliminate the TOXINS in your life that may likely be keeping you discouraged and grumpy, while focusing on balancing the body's systems through functional nutrition and integrative practices, including, but not limited to the following:
  • Nutrition and Cooking Clinics

  • Workshops and courses to address stress and adrenal health, hormones and weight management and digestive health and chronic inflammation
  • Topic Talks around acupuncture, meditation, fitness, sleep, herbal tinctures
  • Learn the connections between human and planetary health and happiness and how to best nourish your body, brain and being.
