Walk Towards – Walk Towards Health

6 Pillars of Walk Towards Health

Walk Towards Health, a public charity, will introduce the Hanover, Virginia community to the Lifestyle Medicine specialty. My clients will be taught how modifying their lifestyle without medications can prevent, treat, and reverse common chronic diseases many Americans suffer from. The areas of focus will be physical activity, abstaining from harmful substances, eating predominant plant based meals, participating in activities to reduce stress, and connecting with nature and people.

“The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.” -Ann Wigmore

EDUCATE the community through INSTRUCTION/DEMONSTRATION on how lifestyle modifications prevent, treat, and reverse common chronic conditions.

William Dabney Winston & Nannie Ella Bradley

When her daughter, my MOM (left Virginia to live with her husband in Baltimore, MD), my grandmother said, “Be careful, they eat food that comes from boxes.”

My grandfather was a farmer. He raised cows, and pigs. He had a mule and chickens. He and others in the community of Ashland built the barn behind his house. He farmed vegetables from the land and taught his sons, my uncles the same craft.
