      Introducing the 5 Seasons Diet

      5 Seasons Diet · October 13, 2017 · Leave a Comment

      Happy Fall!

      My name is Melissa Maki and I own a wellness center in Willsboro, NY called Gratitude For Wellness. I’ve been practicing Five Element Acupuncture in the Willsboro/Essex/Plattsburgh area since 2012. I live and work in this amazing community and am so grateful to have found it!

      With my current work as an acupuncturist and herbalist and my past life as a mental health clinician for 12 years, I have always focused on how people can come back to full health in body, mind, and spirit. I know that a body can heal itself if given the right tools and I have witnessed countless positive health shifts in my office.

      However, as I have worked with thousands of people between my careers there is one area that is the most guilt-ridden, shameful, difficult, and overwhelming for people and that is their diet. This area is often the one that gets over-looked, ignored, or people are in constant battle with. Yet it is such a critical part of our quality of health.

      That is why our team created the 5 Seasons Diet. This healthy lifestyle provides a sustainable health formula that focuses on clean eating, weight loss, boosting the immune system and reducing symptoms of chronic disease.

      Below is an outline of how members can and have changed how they feel physically and literally removed unwanted symptoms from their daily life, all through the right formula of seasonal eating.

      Periodically, I will be contributing monthly blogs that will help educate you on your body, mind, and spirit health. The more we know, the more powerful we are and the more vibrant life we can have. Food is Medicine, let us show you how!

      I look forward to connecting again and in the meantime if you have questions or would like to know more, please contact me at info@5seasonsdiet.com.

      In Gratitude,

      Melissa Maki, LAc, AP, DOM

      5 Seasons Diet

      We all know we should eat healthy for optimal health and the prevention of disease. The stumbling block is knowing the best formula of what to eat and when to eat it. It can feel big and overwhelming.

      The 5 Seasons Diet is a tool and an easy-to-follow formula that provides the “knowing” so you can enjoy the “doing” and the reassurance of a sustainable nutritious lifestyle.

      Our dietary formula of seasonal meal plans are designed by our nutritionist and farm inspired chefs and focus on clean eating, weight loss, boosting the immune system and reducing symptoms of chronic dis-ease.

      Over 75 healthy delicious recipes are created each month for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, & desserts so meals never get boring.

      Members can follow the monthly meal plan each day for optimal health of body, mind & spirit or pick and choose recipes from the plan to use as a healthy supplement during busy weeks.

      Learn more about our dietary formula and results our members have experienced by visiting us at www.5seasonsdiet.com or find us on Facebook under 5 Seasons Diet.

      We are passionate about supporting your wellness! Please join us and eat your way back to great health, one delicious bite at a time!
