"The world we've made, as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking" - Albert Einstein
Currently 2/3 of all Adults and 1/3 of all children are either overweight or obese. This number is astonishing and what makes it even more so is that it has steadily increased over 4 decades. In addition, the combined revenue of the Pharmaceutical and Weight Loss Industries is over a whopping 350 Billion Dollars annually! Obviously, there is an epidemic in our country and the reality is that if we continue attempting to solve our health crisis with the same level of thinking that created the crisis, regression of our society’s health is a certainty. However, if we choose a different path, a course that will provide realistic and attainable health solutions, the possibilities for our society are endless.
It is Time for A New Level of Thinking...
I began this journey sixteen years ago, frustrated with the void of available health information. Everything on the market was either designed around quick weight loss through calorie and carbohydrate restriction or by using medication to solve health challenges. I quickly realized that there was a hole in our Health Industry. The answers and solutions that millions of people of all goal types were desperately searching for could not be found. It was at this moment I understood “Why” Venice Nutrition had to be created, I needed to create a New Level of Thinking and finally fill the hole in the Health Industry. I knew this vision could be accomplished by delivering a realistic and attainable health education that would teach people how to permanently work nutrition, fitness and overall health into their world.
Through the past sixteen years, what initially began as my cause has become OUR cause. Venice Nutrition started with one coach, me, and one client. We have built a grass roots movement nationally and internationally that has inspired fellow Health Professionals to join the movement and Individuals that truly want to understand how their body works so they can finally take control of their health. This has all been possible because of the passion of the Venice Nutrition Community which is now over One Million Strong!
We are entering the Next Level for Venice Nutrition. Because of the strength of our Community and Partnerships, together we are primed to reach the masses and bring about true change. We are at our “Tipping Point” and it is time for us to Lead A New Level of Thinking in the Health Industry.
2011 will be the next phase for Venice Nutrition, and to celebrate we are bringing the entire VN Community together, Nutrition Coaches, Members as well as other Health Professionals & Enthusiasts. We have planned to have a Powerful day together that will provide tons of excitement, cutting edge information and a sense of togetherness. As a bonus, the event will end with the unveiling of the Venice Nutrition Book Cover, Title, and Subtitle which is scheduled for release March 29, 2011. Both myself and Harper Collins Publishing will also share the National Marketing Campaign for the Venice Nutrition Brand which is set to launch in early 2011.
January 15th will be a moment in time when we can rally together to fuel our motivation, education and inspiration. We will then take that momentum and make 2011 our launch pad for creating lasting change in our Health Industry. It is time that people understand it is possible to make their health a priority, and that the Venice Nutrition Community will provide health answers and solutions that the rest of the world wants and needs.

Culinary Corner

When you’re craving real Italian cuisine without all the extra calories, our Chicken Parmesan is the perfect fix. We’ve coated lean chicken breasts with kicked-up, panko bread crumbs for extra crispiness and pan fried them in heart healthy olive oil. Add your favorite tomato sauce, melted mozzarella cheese and sweet basil, and you’ve got a deliciously nutritious version of an old school favorite. We’re willing to bet that Real Chicken Parmesan will be your go-to Italian staple for years to come. For the full recipe please login to your VN account and click the 'recipe' tab. Enjoy!
