Meet Harvey Slater: Your Guide to Holistic Wellness

Food is a miraculous gift, and I want you to enjoy it while looking and feeling your absolute best!

Sounds great, right? I truly believe everyone deserves to feel healthy, happy, and comfortable in their own skin. No one should have to go through life feeling stuck, bogged down, or trapped by their own poor health. But the truth is, many people feel pretty bad most of the time, both on the inside and on the outside.

I get it.  I know what it feels like to put your health on the back burner– to be powerless to your refrigerator, a bacon cheeseburger, or a 6-pack of beer. I, for one, haven’t always been the healthiest guy. I was once overweight, run down, and suffered from poor digestion and a toxic liver. But luckily, along the way I was presented with a better way of eating. And that changed my life!

This was me back before my healthy transformation. I was “enjoying life,” but slowly destroying my body:

I’m Harvey Slater, a certified Holistic Nutritionist, Weight Management Consultant, chef, and blogger residing in the San Gabriel Mountains, just outside of Los Angeles, California. I have 25 years of background primarily in the food and beverage service business. In 2013 I hit a ceiling with my career and I hit a wall with my health! I knew I needed a change. So, I left my catering business to explore new roads and to pursue a healthier and more purposeful life.

That’s basically how I ended up here! Along the journey I started a recipe blog to document all the new, healthier recipes I was creating for myself. That led to learning a lot about nutrition. And, I did a little bit of dabbling in a nutrition supplement company. And that unleashed a passion that had been hiding inside of me for exploring nutrient-dense, healthful cooking. This new phase of my on-going love affair with food has changed my life and my health for the better.

Here are more recent photos of me, as I continue to embrace my own change process to become the best version of myself possible:

In April 2014 I started leading an on-line, 28-Day “Healthy Eating” support group on Facebook as a way of giving virtual, easy to access daily coaching to my nutrition product clients. The group was wildly successful and went viral in our product sales community and grew to almost 1,500 participants in just over a year. That is when I realized I had a new calling, so I earned my certification as a Holistic Nutritionist.

Now, I have gained an immense amont of experience with the honor of helping people re-learn food. With thousands of coaching session hours under my belt, I’ve developed proven strategies to help people create a healthy and satisfying relationship to the delicious, satisfying foods, that support us to live a sustanable, healthy and happy life.
