The foundation of Vibrant Integrative Nutrition is built on the concepts written and taught by Dr. Diana Schwarzbein. After being introduced to Dr Schwarzbein's work, Britt found that the Schwarzbein Program provides a critical component to achieving whole body health and balance in lifestyle. Dr. Diana Schwarzbein is the author of:

• The Schwarzbein Principle
• The Schwarzbein Principle ll
• The Schwarzbein Principle the Program
• The Schwarzbein Principle Cookbook (co-author)
• The Schwarzbein Principle Vegetarian Cookbook (co-author)

There are 5 essential areas of focus in Dr. Schwarzbein's program. The first 4 steps are the primary focus of Vibrant Integrative Nutrition. The 5th step is a prescribed treatment provided by an endocrinologist. (If the client is in need of HRT, a referral to an endocrinologist will be made.)

1. Healthy nutrition, including supplements as needed
2. Stress management, including getting enough sleep
3. Tapering off cravings such as tobacco, alcohol, caffeine and sugar
4. Smart exercise
5. Balancing your hormones with the right hormone replacement therapy when needed (referral to endocrinologist)

Britt is a Certified Schwarzbein Practitioner and is proud to assist her clients with a specialized level of service that includes the techniques founded by Dr. Schwarzbein.
