| Farmers' Market Watch |
Here's what's in season now: tomatoes, leafy greens, green beans, herbs, lettuce, summer squash, cauliflower, fava beans, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines and melons. It's plenty to make some locally sourced healthy meals. Berry season is here, yum to strawberries, cherries, blueberries and black berries! It's harvest time in the Pacific NW. For some indoor color, pick-up some beautiful floral arrangements of sunflowers and dahlias. The Ballard Farmers' Market is open year-round on Sundays. |

| Health Care Coverage |
Use your health insurance for nutrition counseling appointments. While we still have the Affordable Care Act (ACA), take advantage of your preventative care benefits.
If you have pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, you may have unlimited nutrition counseling appointments available under your health insurance plan. Use it now, as your benefits may be changing soon.
Please contact Sheri for assistance with navigating your health care benefits for nutritional counseling. more

I believe there is no "one size fits all" plan for nutrition and fitness. We all have individual needs and they need to be respectfully addressed when creating plans for nutrition and activity. Successful programs are a collaborative effort that address your needs and lifestyle as whole. I welcome you to take this opportunity to discover your optimal health. Feel free to contact me with any questions. more about Sheri |

Summer is here and we still have longer days of sunlight. Enjoy the weather and get outside for some green exercise. Don't forget your "clean" sunscreen and hydration. It's vacation time, need some strategies for staying healthy while traveling? Time to take action and take control of your healthy self!
For many of us, health care coverage expenses have gone up this year, we need to up our efforts to stay well. I'm all for lifestyle changes to sustain health, prevent disease and injury. Adjustments to diet, activity and managing emotional health are key.
Let me guide you towards sustaining healthy habits in nutrition and fitness with my Health Coaching skills. I've come to appreciate how an established healthy lifestyle has made my life more comfortable and enjoyable. This doesn't mean it's always easy. It takes constant re-evaluation and commitment, often difficult when life gets busy and complicated.
It's still Summer!
