At the November 11 meeting held at Happy Days Restaurant in River Vale, Stephanie Dalle Molle, this week's speaker, told members how to "Weigh Less and Live More".  Stephanie is in the advertising business, but when she suffered from GI issues and low energy, she discovered Holistic Health. Realizing that we can all be in control of the way we feel, she became amazed at how her own health improved.  She truly believes that when one is healthy in mind and body, wonderful things can happen. Therefore, her intention is to help people reach their optimum level of health and wellness in order to create a fuller, happier, and more meaningful life. 
            

 
Stephanie received her training to practice Health Coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories-combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, and raw foods.

Stephanie handed out a sheet entitled "Ten Steps to a Healthier and Happier You!" and went over several interesting facts from the list with us such as:  using sea salt as opposed to "regular" salt, using brown rice and whole grain pasta, eating more fruit, engaging in physical activity to relieve stress, and eating raw/organic dark chocolate.  Besides her list, Stephanie included several recipes  to help get us started on the program and offered club members free health consultations.

Stephanie has a newsletter which comes out periodically, as well as a website, www.healthlegume.com, where you can obtain more information about Stephanie and holistic health and wellness.
