Lifestyle Nutrients™

Lifestyle Nutrients™ was created by Barbara Mendez R.Ph with the intention of educating clients on the progressive benefits of health and nutrition. It was while working in various holistic pharmacies that Barbara began to notice that many of her clients had little understanding of their illnesses, bodies and medication. In addition, many of them took supplements randomly in the hopes of benefiting from the promised miracles touted by the manufacturer. What she saw was people on a variety of medications, spending hundreds of dollars on supplements that they didn’t need, nor were benefiting from, all the while partaking of the modern American diet, growing sicker and more toxic despite everything they were doing.

She is grateful for her pharmacy background, for it taught her that often, clients engage in a strange disconnect with their bodies, not understanding the connection between their eating habits and lifestyle habits and the physical health of their bodies. It is far easier to surrender to the physician (and perceived “old age”), take a prescribed medication and then proceed as if nothing has happened. Of course, that is what most people do when confronted with their first prescription medication. Unfortunately, after the first, there is bound to be a second and then a third usually not too far behind. Through the process of education Barbara helps each client integrate the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of complete health and preventive care. Through this process she helps empower the client, helping them regain control of their health by maximizing their body’s natural healing power.
