Philosophy

1 on 1 Counseling

The Power of Nutrition

"After 30 years as a practicing dietitian, I am still amazed and excited about how the right nutritional balance can make such a big difference in the health and happiness of people! I attribute my good health to nutrition. I have seen it solve health problems and heal ill people 1000's of times in my career. I have even seen it save lives. I know it works.
What we know about the intimate connection between nutrition and health continues to expand every day. To stay abreast, I continue to study in the fields of nutrition, preventive health, and functional medicine. For Sustainable Diets™, I am committed to bringing our clients the very best cutting-edge nutrition therapy."

Teri Underwood, Founder Sustainable Diets

What is a Nutrient?
Nutrients are chemicals found in food, water, and air; such as vitamins, minerals, water, plant pigments, fats, protein, carbohydrates, and oxygen. They cannot be synthesized in our body in enough quantity to meet our needs—we need to rely on our diet. There are over 50 known essential nutrients and 100’s more that are conditionally essential. When a nutrient is missing, in excess, or out of balance for a prolonged period of time—health problems eventually occur.

Our Philosophy: Let food and nutrition be your medicine. If you don’t feel good, if you are ill, if you want to lose weight or gain energy—look to your diet. Food has healing powers and your overall diet choice can prevent and alleviate illness, resolve fatigue, and even change your mood. A sustainable diet contains all the nutrients your body needs to maintain health and vitality.

Science continues to expand quickly with new evidence strengthening our knowledge of the crucial connection between nutrition and health. With great scientific certainty, it can be said: your life span, whether or not you develop chronic disease, and the health of your entire body depends on the proper balance of nutrients. Your blood vessels, eyes, skin, muscles, heart, kidney, liver, immune system, brain, digestive system; the production of energy inside every cell in your body rests on the food choices you make. In our modern world today making the right food choices from the available foods in the grocery store, restaurant, or kitchen is not intuitive, it rests on knowledge.

Sustainable Diets provides all clients with therapy and education based on good nutrition science and the art of eating well.

A healthy, sustainable diet tastes fantastic, is easy and simple to prepare, and fits into any lifestyle. We show our clients how to make their diet and healthy lifestyle easy and enjoyable for them. Making a nutritious diet understandable and taste great is our passion!

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” -Thomas Edison
