What’s on your plate?
Do you dread going to the grocery store? Does food often make you feel guilty because it’s not the “right” choice? Are you just concerned about having good food for your family? Does all the information and emotion around nutrition make you want to throw your hands in the air?
If this describes you or the people you work with, Michele is ready to help your healthcare, dietitian, executive women or nutrition group find truth in food. After all, food is at the center of so many traditions. Food is essential to our bodies. Food deserves to be celebrated, enjoyed and shared. The same could be said about the truth in food.
This program is based on Michele's second book, Food Truths from Farm to Table: 25 Surprising Ways to Shop & Eat Without Guilt - named #1 best seller 2018 IPPY bronze medal in medicine, health and nutrition. 25 food truths embedded throughout the book translate how food is grown, lift the curtain on modern agriculture and provoke thought about why food marketing may be misleading you. It is an evidence-based book with 119 citations across nine sections of the grocery store and accredited for RDN continuing education.
Food Truths from Farm to Table includes stories of 50+ contributors to translate the science of food. Michele brings a lifetime of experience in agriculture and has spent 15+ years leading the farm and food conversation, but authoring this second book really honed her communications in how food is raised and why it matters to you.
You can benefit from this experience; bring Michele’s newest program to your next meeting to give people a fresh perspective on food, health and nutrition.

"We have to eat in order to live and we might as well be as knowledgeable as possible about what we buy at the grocery store. As consumers of food, we should have a better scientific understanding of how it is grown and produced, giving us more power in our daily food choices. I’m a big believer in healthy eating for a healthy life. This book provides a unique look at food, how modern day farming can help our health and is an approachable read about the power of nutrition.”
- Dr. David Samadi, chairman of urology, chief of robotic surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City
