Our Values
At LoLoHealthCo we believe in a whole-food, plant-centric diet full of fresh local organic vegetables, healthy fats, and sustainable protein sources. We believe in supporting local farmers that take pride in growing organic crops that are nourishing for both our bodies and the planet. We aim to eat foods that together provide our bodies, hormones, and gut bacteria with the nutrients they need to thrive. We believe in obtaining nutrients through seasonality the way that our ancestors once did. We believe in eating foods to optimize brain function and gut integrity that help promote both a healthy immune system and prevent chronic disease. We believe in eating foods that decrease inflammation and promote the health of our energy production systems in order to burn fuel more efficiently and minimize free radical production. We believe in the science of epigenetics, meaning the environment and the foods you eat directly affect gene expression and determine whether your genes will promote health or illness. We believe that providing optimal nutrition to our children can help prevent common childhood illnesses such as autism, ADD, depression and other mental health issues. We believe that food is the most potent form of medicine and that the most common chronic diseases such as dementia, diabetes, and heart disease can all largely be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices. Don’t let your physician tell you that there is nothing you can do about your illness or fall victim to a lifelong regiment of pharmaceutical medications. Don’t settle for anything less than a solution that will address what is actually causing your symptoms, instead of simply covering them up. Only you can be the best advocate for your health and the health of your loved ones. We want to support you on your journey to wellness by providing guidance, nutrition information, and resources that will help you create a life of health and wellness well into your elderly years.
