It's nice to know someone that the has successfully transitioned from western practiced medicine (with decades of experience), to treating patients with natural remedies and herbal medicines. He understands the body from the inside and out, and has a passion for researching the most recent developments in world of natural supplements. Betsy Hicks is amazingly knowledgeable educator in the world of fermentation, lacto-fermentation, and for developing healing regimes with food for clients. She's has an amazing mental database of natural options, and is truly a mom's mom. :) Green Health Cube supplements are created with quality in mind, and set the bar for what a supplement should be. This is the physical location for their online (dot) com storefront. What I love about Green Health Cube is the level of research the put into offering the best natural medicine out there, for the biggest healing effect on patients. If they don't offer a supplement, they partner with other leaders in the market, to again offer quality products that really actually work. Their retail location is open daily, and is a great option for picking up something quick if you need fast recovery from any number of ailments. Seriously love this place! I'm a photojournalist, and a took a couple photos of the storefront and inside (see below). So lucky to have them in Los Gatos with such quick access off the freeway as well, parking is never an issue!

Upon first glance it might seem like a small portion, especially at $5 a pop, but the chia pudding is actually very filling and one portion is great for a breakfast or snack.

I stopped by Cleats to pick up an order yesterday. They are located near the intersection of…read moreMeridian Ave and Hamilton. They have their own little parking lot that is separate from the other shops in that center. Clean Eats is restaurant that offers a variety of health foods. You can order online, call ahead or order in person. You can even have your meals delivered to you. They have convenient pre-prepped meals and cater to special diets like vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, keto, gluten free and paleo. The inside of the store is clean and tidy but very small. They have outdoor seating for you to enjoy your meal there. I ordered a pork Chili Verde with rice and beans as well as a breakfast burrito. The pork Chili Verde was so delicious as well as the Spanish rice and beans. The burrito was packed with eggs, potatoes and turkey sausage and came with a side of salsa. My husband really enjoyed his burrito for breakfast. It was very filling. I love that they list the macros and nutrients, ingredients and instructions for heating on each package meal. These meals are so convenient. And you can pick and choose your proteins, carbs, and veggies to your barrier. All ingredients are freshly displayed behind the clear plastic shield where you place your order. They are so many options to pick from. The employee working there was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning to try other items.

I was still eating pretty healthy and was active during the pandemic but since I took a promotion at work, everything went downhill. I developed insomnia, skipped the gym due to work, started binge eating... there are days that I did not want to get up. As I slowly work my way back to my old self, I stopped by here recently to get some food for myself w/o guilt. I do enjoy the keto pizza. I just wished the macros are available. The meatballs were good, but I'd recommend dipping them in hot sauce, zero-sugar sauce, or their Clean Eats' condiments to kick it up a notch. They're not dry but since I was trying not to consume simple carbs, I ate it plain like that. The salad was fresh, very yummy. The parking is small and the intersection this place is located gets rather busy during the rush. If you know what you are ordering, suggest ordering for pickup to save time. I love how it's like a healthy Chipotle w/ all things protein-related (protein shakes, protein chips, protein cookies, protein candy, etc.). I love having this place as an option when I cannot decide what to eat or if I don't have time to cook.

I only know of this place thanks to Reya. I got a text from her when I was at work, telling me…read moreabout a weight loss challenge. The weigh-in was held at Orangetheory Fitness in Los Gatos. I came and was pleasantly surprised by my BF% despite my weight at the time. I've always worked out but I was never aligned nutritionally. More importantly, like most, I thought that I need to eat few calories in order to lose weight BUT that mindset has changed. I came in at 120lbs, 17% BF. I also opted for the meal plan (free) and I was so shocked when I saw it because it was a ton of food but more and more, I can see that I need to more in order to grow. I needed to feed my muscles. I don't follow the IIFYM mentality because certain foods make me feel sluggish even if I'm not hitting my macros so quite honestly, I canceled my $10 a month subscription to MyFitnessPal and started to eat clean and intuitively. I told Ben that I cannot eat according to the meal plan to the T because I don't have the financial capability. Fast-forward 3 weeks (plus I got on a no sugar for 30 day challenge), I weighed in 2 weeks ago at 115lbs at 14% BF. I am doing my final and last weigh-in this Wednesday which will conclude my completion of this weight loss challenge and no sugar for 30 day challenge. I'm quite happy w/ my progress. The store itself is spacious and everything is organized. Staff are all knowledgeable and I can't tell you how heartbroken I felt when I was told that protein cookies are junk... this store sells products that they believe in. They just don't carry every single product the fitness industry has to offer. BTW, they don't sell protein cookies but Ben heard Reya and I talking and gave his 2 cents... =/

I first came by this store when it was a Nutrishop back in September 2015. My gym I train at is…read morejust down the street, so one day when I was in need of some basic supplements, I found this little shop on yelp! When I first started my fitness journey last year, I did not know much of anything when it came to supplements. I knew I should have a good quality protein, but that was pretty much it. Lol. My gf who is a fitness instructor and CPT, INSISTED I need a glutamine for muscle recovery. I was sore 24/7 and pretty miserable, even unable to sleep at night because my legs would twitch and ache. It was pretty awful to say the least. So off I went to this shop to find me some glutamine! It was a bit daunting since I didn't know a damn thing about supplements. And I even asked for glucosamine instead of glutamine, since I couldn't remember what it was called. Thankfully the guy I met, Kraig, was the sweetest guy ever and nicely explained to me what I needed and why. After asking me a few different questions, he was able to recommend what I would benefit from based on my fitness goals and current workout regime. I went home with a fat burner, a glutamine and a BCAA. These are basic staples for anyone who works out! I know this now, but did not before I walked into that store. Fast forward 6-7 months. I workout like a BEAST. Ask anyone at my gym. Haha! I actually hit a plateau at about 7 months after embarking on my fitness journey. I was not losing anymore weight, I was unable to drop my body fat (I went from 35% to 24%) and I was beyond discouraged. I decided to come visit the shop to re-up my supplements. The shop had been re-branded to MM Nutrition and was no longer a Nutrishop. I picked up some new products and noticed they had a challenge starting in a few days. With participation in the challenge, there was a meal plan offered, FREE! I was super curious about it and Ben showed me in depth why the meal plan was superior to all the others I have tried over the years. I was convinced I needed this meal plan. The challenge was to start in a few days so I agreed to come back for the weigh-in. I came back for the weigh in. I was quite happy with the results of the new products I had picked up. Ben had listened to me patiently while I jabbered on and on about my fitness goals and aspirations. He had sent me home with two new products that I added to my other basic supplements. I saw a noticeable difference immediately. I received my meal plan the next day. To keep it short, I was horrified at the amount of calories he had put me on. But after hearing WHY, it all started to make sense. I was not losing any weight because my body was in starvation mode. Nor was I eating very many carbs, which my body needed. My BMR was way higher than the amount of calories I was eating daily. This new meal plan changed EVERYTHING for me!!! So far my body has been responding quite well to the changes I made. It has been 9 days so we will see how the rest of the month goes! I popped by again to visit the shop after another workout and found myself comfortably at home. Here I could talk about everything I loved, fitness, supplements, why I wasn't seeing results, what I could try differently... I learned so much from my visits here! If ever you are in the area and need some supplements, definitely come check them out!

She let me know that some places say "kosher style," but that doesn't mean that they actually serve kosher food! They have both a market full of kosher foods and a cafe. The menu is kind of simple: your choice of meat, which you can get as a sandwich or a plate. Unfortunately, they were out of kabobs when we went, which was my first choice. I went with the chicken schnitzel as a plate because I was interested in the various salads. I chose rice instead of fries, and they gave me a ton of rice! Everything was made to order. The schnitzel was pounded flat and delicious. I liked a lot of the side salads, including one that was red cabbage-based. I bought something similar at the market - hoping it tastes as good. This place is not fancy on the inside, with long group tables, but there were a lot of people coming in either eating lunch there or grabbing it to go. I enjoyed what I ate and will want to come back and try something else next time (hopefully the kabobs).

The guy at the seafood counter (very tall). He's super friendly & helpful. You can tell he loves his job (apparently he used to work at The Fish Market). He provides great tips & is very knowledgeable. There's another guy who works in the deli section, Michael I think is his name? He is also super friendly and very helpful. He's been there for years. I hope he stays there! No matter how busy they are, he's always there to help you with a smile. There's another lady too, she's got curly blond hair, short (or maybe she wears it up) and she works in the deli, or at least she used to. I haven't seen her recently, but she was always super nice as well. Pro tip, look for their deals! Sometimes their pizza will be really cheap from their frozen section. They also have deals on their rotisserie chicken. They switch up the days though and I believe Fridays they have a pizza special.
