Start the School Year Strong with Nutrition Counseling!

Your child’s nutrition helps them:
• Sleep better (so mornings aren’t a struggle)
• Stay focused in class (so learning feels less frustrating)
• Balance energy (so after-school meltdowns aren’t the norm)
• Boost immunity (so sick days don’t pile up)
• Support mood (so challenges feel easier to handle)

At Stepping Stone Clinic, our nutrition services go beyond “eat more veggies.” We create realistic, personalized plans based on your child’s actual needs, sometimes including lab testing to uncover hidden deficiencies.

This fall, give your child the foundation to thrive.

Schedule a 60-min intake with our dietitian, Brenna Thompson, MS, RD, LDN, and set your family up for a healthier school year.

🌿 We’re planning something new—and we need your voice! 🌿

At LifeFx and Stepping Stone Clinic, we’re dreaming up a new kind of retreat experience: multi-day, in-person gatherings designed to foster connection, resilience, and real-life tools for our community. We’re exploring two retreat ideas—and we’d love your input:

💚 Care for the Caregivers
A restorative retreat for parents, healthcare workers, and others who spend their lives caring for others. Think stress relief, self-care strategies, burnout prevention, and meaningful connection with people who get it.

🌀 Creating Community for Neurodivergent Young Adults
Designed for ages 18–26, this retreat is a launchpad for independence—time management, budgeting, relationships, stress tools—and most importantly, connection and belonging.

📣 We’re inviting YOU to weigh in. What matters most to you? What would make this meaningful?

🎁 Complete a 3–4 min survey and you’ll be entered to win a $100 Whole Foods gift card!

Your input helps us shape something real, healing, and truly needed. Please share with others who might benefit—we’re building something together. ❤️
