With the wide range of ad campaigns, scientific marketing, and conflicting studies, the term “healthy,” is one that’s been met with a lot of ambiguity and confusion over the years. At Whole Foods Market, we aim to create an easy, comprehensive experience using our Health Starts Here program. This program was created by a board of doctors and includes far more food than it excludes, encouraging a truly healthy and practical style of eating. We follow four simple pillars:
1. Plant-Strong
2. Whole Foods
3. Healthy Fats
4. Nutrient Dense
Whole Foods Market knows that support is the key to maintaining any sort of healthy lifestyle. This is why each store in the Florida region has a designated “Healthy Eating Specialist,” an in-store point person who can help you achieve your personal health goals through a program that works for you, your body, and your lifestyle. We offer monthly cooking classes as well as store tours to make the transition to health as painless as possible.
