Yes, I know all you foodies love to read about BBQ, baked Bree, and chocolate mousse all day. But sometimes we need to eat more healthfully and little less indulgently. The Doctor Cooks can help.
Bethany Klug, DO practices holistic medicine at the Kansas City Holistic Centre. Dr. Klug offers bioidentical hormone replacement, whole foods nutrition, nutritional supplementation, homeopathy and biodynamic cranial osteopathic treatment to her patients. She is boarded in family medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine.
She recovered her own health with whole foods nutrition and has developed extensive expertise in healing with whole foods cooking.
Her blog is as impressive as her credentials. She writes about eating locally grown food (a big trend in food these days) as well as organic and whole foods, and reducing sweeteners and animal products. Her posts are well written and her blog is attractively laid out.
And while I’m hardly a vegan, I do believe in eating food that’s not processed whenever possible. Considering how much wild fish, game, and homegrown and locally grown veggies, fruit and berries we eat around here, I’m on the same page with the good doctor on many things including how yummy roasted beets are.
She hasn’t been blogging a long time, so I hope she manages to keep the good work up in addition to her work on Back to Health the Whole Foods Way at the online University of Masters. After all, food should be as good for the body as it is for the soul.

Hello, This is Mary
I am 36 years old with 2 toddlers. My youngest just started day care last week- which still feels a little strange. I haven’t had this much time to myself in years. First thing I want to do is lose the extra pounds I put on during the last pregnancy. One of the girls next door has suggested I join her walking group two days a week. After my first pregnancy I lost around 35 pounds using the Herbalife products, but when I called the man that sold them to me three years ago he told me this week he doesn’t sell them anymore. He told me to look on the internet. It’s disappointing because he was really nice and he called me regularly to make sure I was using their products correctly. It was nice to have someone checking in with me every week to see how I was and it kept me motivated.
I searched on the internet for someone that sells Herbalife in New Jersey. I found many websites but I don’t want
just to buy the products, I want to find someone trustworthy that sells the products so I can also meet them and get started again.
Could anybody here recommend someone in New Brunswick?.
Thanks, Mary
Hi Mary,
>From one mom to another I think I have a solution for you!! I want to lose 40 pounds, and I’ve lost 28 so far!!! I am feeling fantastic and have more energy than I did when I was in college. I went through three different Herbalife distributors until I found the person I felt really actually cared about me and helped me to start getting results. The bottom line was that I wanted to find somebody that could offer me good prices, but that could also check in with me to make sure I was doing ok.
I used to drive two hours to meet with my first distributor in West Haven, Connecticut. I even brought the girls with me a few times because I couldn’t find a babysitter. Today my Herbalife coach does everything over the phone and it is much easier with my busy schedule. You can order Herbalife online on his website, you get the shakes a few days after with FedEx and then you can setup a telephone meeting once a week to make sure you are doing the program right.
His name is Danny Castello and his website is http://www.goshape.com. The number is (310) 928- 3835. He and his girlfriend Michaela actually do most of the coaching together as a team, but she has an Herbalife site as well: http://www.puresteps.com. He does most of the motivation on the call and gives you important facts regarding nutrition. He can be a bit tough but he really wants you to get results. She is a bit softer- so they make a good combination. Actually I also recommend joining his newsletter first so you can see the articles on nutrition. They also have videos so you can see who they are before actually calling them. Its nice because they actually use the products too. You can see on their websites.
Hope this helps!
