Clean Cuisine is an anti-inflammatory program that focuses on eating “whole” foods in their most natural and nutrient-rich state. Our nutrition program places a heavy emphasis on plant-based nutrition and is particularly rich in anti-aging and disease-fighting phytonutrients and antioxidants. Overall, it is a comprehensive physician-designed lifestyle solution developed to combat the two factors that contribute to disease and obesity: malnutrition and inflammation.

Anyone who is looking for a permanent lifestyle solution that will improve their health, energy and appearance should sign up for the Clean Cuisine 8-Week Challenge.

The Challenge will dramatically reduce systemic inflammation and is perfect for anyone with an active inflammatory condition (MS, asthma, arthritis, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, etc.)

And, although the Challenge was not specifically created as a weight loss program, the number one “side benefit” of reducing inflammation is hunger-free weight loss.

Absolutely! Clean Cuisine is a safe and healthy program the entire family, including kids, can follow together.

Clean Cuisine is not a “diet” but rather a lifestyle program and a way of living. You will not be required to weigh or “count your food” in the form of calories, carbs, fat grams, points, etc. Instead, Clean Cuisine shifts the focus towards making your food count nutritionally. You learn to eat in an intuitive way that fuels your body with the nutrients it needs and craves. But you also learn a completely new way of eating that places heavy emphasis on flavor-forward cuisine.

15+ years of Modern Nutrition Science

If you were to walk into our house you would find as many medical journals as you would gourmet cookbooks and magazines. On our bedsides we have copies of the Journal of the American Medical Association right alongside Food & Wine magazine. We have worked for over fifteen years to blend the best of modern nutrition science with the best of the food world and we don’t just want to extend our lives…we want to enjoy our lives too!

No. Not because eating 100% organic wouldn’t be utopia, but it’s just not realistic.

Instead, we strongly encourage people to know as much about their food as they possibly can. Where did it come from? How is it packaged? How is it grown?

Choosing Healthy Meats

If you eat beef you want to know exactly what the cow ate and the conditions in which the cow was raised. For canned beans you want to know whether they are packaged in a can that contains BPA. If you eat salmon you want to know what waters the salmon swam in and what food the salmon ate. All of these things matter. Once you learn where your food comes from you’ll be able to make educated decisions on what you eat and when it is important to go the extra organic mile.

Selecting Lower Foods on the Food Chain

Also, it is important in general to know that because animal foods are highest on the food chain they will contain more toxins than what are found in plant foods. The higher up on the food chain you go the more environmental toxins accumulate. It is absolutely worth the extra money to spend organic on any animal foods you eat. But, since Clean Cuisine is a reduced animal-food way of eating doing this is not as costly as you might think.

And of course we always encourage people to be aware of the Environmental Working Group’s “clean fifteen” and “dirty dozen” produce.

Clean Cuisine is not a vegan program but it can very easily be modified to be so for individuals who do not eat animal foods.

We shift the focus away from deprivation and introduce a whole new world of cuisine that combines flavor with superior nutrition. It’s a totally different mindset. Instead of saying, “Oh, I can only eat XX amount of carbs or XX number of fat grams,” we want people to say to themselves, “How can I get more fruits and vegetables into my diet? How can I make sure I am getting enough omega-3 fats? Did I eat enough phytonutrients and antioxidants today?” There is no shortage of food on Clean Cuisine!

Don’t Count Your Food

Instead of encouraging people to “count their food” in the form of calories, carbs, fat grams, etc., we want people to learn how to make their food choices count nutritionally. And then we show them how to make their food taste amazing. Tasty food is a very important component of Clean Cuisine!
