Naturally Well

An Engaging Childhood Nutritional Education Program

Health Starts at a Young Age

We believe that good health starts at a young age. That’s why Institute for Natural Medicine (INM) and Paradigm Health is teaming up with youth services in local at-risk communities to support lifelong health among children and their families through our Naturally Well program. Taught by a naturopathic doctor, this video and gaming app series focuses on culinary nutrition to give kids the skills they need to make healthy food and lifestyle choices.

Topics covered extend beyond food, encompassing a fuller understanding of a healthy lifestyle and how to make the healthiest choices.

With the unique structure of this program, we can work towards all of our goals through a replicable, customizable model:

  1. Educate children about the basics of good health, nutrition and preventative medicine.

  2. Give young people the tools to make healthy choices for lifelong good health.
