About Marlene McKee, N.E., DIHom.

As a Nutrition Educator my mission has been to help people achieve vibrant health by teaching them what to eat towards that goal and not merely to satisfy hunger and gratify cravings.  When I lived in Ann Arbor some years ago, I owned a highly successful health food store and gave presentations to women’s groups and clubs around town. These were well attended and resulted in valuable exchange of information and ideas. On Sundays I baked bread for pre-schools so kids could have whole grain bread. I even taught young mothers how to be “sneaky” organic cooks so their children would eat vegetables.

As a homeopath, I add to my nutrition program remedies that promote cellular rejuvenation and to induce the body to heal itself.

I was born, raised and educated in Germany. It was my mother who introduced me to eating well. She talked to us about vitamins when hardly anybody had heard of them. She had a vast knowledge of medicinal herbs and, from early on, she showed me how to collect and dry herbs for use as medicine. During my childhood, I was born during World War II, when western medicine and pharmaceutical drugs were not as readily given to cure illnesses, we cured everything ourselves, even infections. This is what made my immune system very strong.

My mother‘s herbal concoctions helped cure quite a few of our childhood diseases. I did the same with my children – and they grew up strong and healthy just as my brother and I did.

I am certified as a Diet Counselor and Nutrition Educator from Bauman College, Berkeley, CA.  Prior to that, I received my Diploma in Advanced Studies in Homeopathy from the British Institute of Homeopathy in England and did an internship with James Stephenson, MD and Homeopath in New York City.

Because of my upbringing, I know we can heal ourselves and prevent illnesses with proper food, nature’s medicines and our body’s innate wisdom. My education and my experience as a nutrition educator have underscored my belief in exercise and healthy eating as the passions in my life.
