Can we still work together?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: Yes! We never force our clients to adopt lifestyles they are unhappy or uncomfortable with – the goal is for you to enjoy your food and your new found health and energy! We encourage you to incorporate our recipes into your already existing diet as you transition to more of a plant based lifestyle, often referred to as “plate shifting,” but we never require you to become completely vegan.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: I have health issues and want to change the way I eat, but I’m not sure I have the time to devote to a program like this.

Kitchen of Life gives you the tools to make educationally based decisions when grocery shopping, meal planning and eating out.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: I don’t live in your area.

Will your program still work for me?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: Yes, but all medications must be disclosed on your health intake form when we begin our work together. You must continue to work closely with your prescribing doctor to ensure proper care.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: Tell me more, how does Kitchen of Life work?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: We offer a custom one-on-one service designed to restore health and balance to the body. We do this through our 12-step program to living optimally. These steps break down into four modules, with each module building on the previous concepts.
Not sure if this is for you?
Not to worry! Each and every client starts with the basics. Module One will have you off and running – you’ll want to tell all your friends how they can eat, cook and shop smarter, too! Not bad for only a few lessons!
As the program progresses into Modules 2 and 3 you’ll delve deeper into a better understanding of what powerful plant based foods offer. You’ll start to connect the dots between the benefits of “prevention foods” and the detriment of “harmful additives”. You’ll also be “in the know” about what all those media buzz terms really mean and be able to process and understand the newest trends without buying into every one.
The last module is reserved for those who have lost their lifestyle and want to get it back, or for those just eager to detoxify and see what living at your best health feels like. This last step mirrors the lifestyle followed at Hippocrates Health Institute.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: Will you travel to speak at an event?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: Yes.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: Why are you called Kitchen of Life?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: Our philosophy is that living foods have the ability to both heal and nourish, and we have the experience, education and results to prove it!
Our health begins in the kitchen, and what we eat has the power to bring us incredible healing and vitality.
From a renewal of our relationship with our food and our bodies, we have the ability to create new found life and well being for ourselves, hence our name, Kitchen of Life.

At Kitchen of Life we don’t cook for you. Instead, we cook with you, because we understand that although it may seem basic learning to cook new foods and eat differently can be overwhelming!
Working with you in your home is where the real change occurs. We guide you through the process of using ingredients you may be unfamiliar with and offer how-to’s in the kitchen to get you on your way to independent healthy living.
Our personal chefs even help with very simple tasks such as understanding how to prep and organize, using knives and cutting boards, understanding juicing versus blending and much, much more. Once you have a handle on the basics, we guide you through more complicated recipes and cooking methods. The more you familiarize yourself in the kitchen, the easier it will be for you to whip up healthy, fresh delicious food when you’re on your own!
Your personal holistic chef will be there for you to inspire, educate and empower you to help yourself and take control of your health
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: What is a health educator?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: A health educator is someone who teaches people about behaviors that promote wellness, and develops and implements strategies to improve the health of individuals and communities.
Kitchen of Life’s health educators share health and wellness concepts through nutrition. Our health educators are all versed in the same intensive curriculum, and science backs our beliefs about the many benefits of plant-based foods.
We leave out dietary fads and marketed products. Instead, we balance a happy marriage between a plant based, whole foods lifestyle, and the more mainstream standard American diet.
All of Kitchen of Life’s health educators have studied and trained at The Hippocrates Health Institute and hold a consistent set of ideals.
Hippocrates Health Institute is a holistic retreat and educational center that has built its reputation based on healing individuals through diet and lifestyle. In order to appeal to wider audience but still keep with the success of the HHI protocol, The Kitchen of life recipe book was specifically designed to appeal to the more Americanized palette.
Our recipes incorporate a healthy concept using decadent and gourmet flavors paired with nutritious ingredients to create delicious and healthy meals.
There are more than 100 recipes in the program meant for all levels offering a variety of flavors, textures and ingredients. The food pairings are designed for both health and taste and leave you in the driver’s seat so you can enjoy every bite![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: Do I have to become a vegan or raw foodist to use/benefit from your program?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: Anyone can benefit from the educational resources and hands-on portion of our program. Improvements in health vary from person to person and can depend on the degree to which you’re willing to make changes and try some new things, however while we believe that living optimally well stems from a raw and living foods foundation, one can see symptoms disappear and overall health improve just integrating even just some of the steps we suggest.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: Isn’t a plant based or organic diet more expensive? How much should I expect to spend on groceries?![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: A shift in grocery spending can cause for worry for many people, however consuming more vegetables and grains and less meat and processed foods can actually lower your grocery costs! Organic foods that can increase your spending include sustainably and/or humanely raised meat, dairy, eggs and seafood.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-question”]Q: Where are you located?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”qa-answer”]A: We do not currently have a brick and mortar location. Instead our health educators are located throughout the US as Traveling Holistic Chefs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1535250178206{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;background-image: url(http://www.kitchenoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/work-with-me-2.jpg?id=1876) !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
