Farewell, from Trish

Holistic Nutrition Trish KrauseDear KIHC Community:

It is with mixed emotion that I announce that I am leaving the clinic at the end of December, 2021.

Boosting your Immunity in a Time of Virus Anxiety to Stay Healthy

Immune system supportYou cannot turn on the radio or open social media these days without seeing something about the global spread of infections and viruses.  Whether it is the COVID-19, seasonal influenza or the rapid spread of Lyme disease year on year, one thing is for certain: our immune systems have never been more critical to our good health.  And more under siege.

Have you tried the Snowflake diet?

the best diet

We are all beautiful snowflakes.

Unique.  Differently shaped by both the way we are formed (our genetics) and our environment. Impacted by our journey through the lifespan.   Changeable as we age.  With specific paths and specialized patterns.  Unlike any other.

Yep – snowflakes and humans have a lot in common.  Which is why when I am asked “what diet is the best diet?”  as a certified holistic nutritionist and wellness educator my answer is “the Snowflake diet!”
