What types of mental or physical health issues is this good for, and why?

Healthy eating is great for all aspects of physical, mental and emotional health. Eating well-balanced, healthy meals regularly can help with improving energy, healthy weightloss or weight gain, improving concentration, digestion, sleep, and increasing happiness and positivity. This is the case because healthy food nourishes our bodies to help them get the vitamins, minerals and energy we need in order for our internal organs to function properly. Eating properly helps our bodies heal themselves.

How do you include God in your treatment approach?

By cooking using whole, natural ingredients, we are utilizing the natural gifts from G-d in order to assist our healing. By cooking mindfully and being in tune with each client's needs, we have kavanah, true intention, when selecting the types of ingredients, cooking styles, seasonings and cookware. Having awareness of these things allows us to cook and eat properly, enabling us to manifest overall balance and health, which enables us to lead happy lives where we can fully serve G-d with our body, mind and soul.
 
Are there any contraindications for clients who want to try your approach?
​
No. Be sure to consult with your doctor or nutritionist to make sure you have clear guidance about your dietary and lifestyle practices.
