Vita Organic Foods Opens in Summit

A new retail store that’s part market, part chocolate-making kitchen, opened in Summit recently.  The Vita Organic Foods store, at 320 Springfield Ave., showcases Vita Chocolate Bars (small batch, raw, and organic), Warrior Bars (perfomance bars made with quinoa, flax and chia seeds), homemade soups and sandwiches, and other products carefully selected for their nutrition and flavor.

Vita (pronounced Vee-tah) Organic Foods began as a nutrition practice dedicated to taking the holistic principle of “Simple Clean Whole” and applying it to how we eat and what we eat. It is the vision of Jen Meister, a holistic health counselor, and Adele DiBiase, a well-known local chef and restaurateur.

To complement the shop and further fulfill their vision, Vita Organic will offer cooking classes, nutritional counseling, juicing workshops, and more. The chocolate and performance bars are also available online at VitaChocolates.com.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
