With an accent on Women’s health, this 75-minute class will have plenty of info for all.

Utilizing herbs for exercise endurance and ergogenic support will be featured.

Part of the class will be taught through a dietary and nutritional lens. We’ll also discuss wild foods and herbal supplements, including their synergistic effects.



Key Takeaways:

You’ll learn how to:

*Enhance diet for healthy aging and chronic disease risk reduction

*Understand nutrient density, recognizing and sourcing bioregional and store bought “superfoods.”

Many people in the United States are taking five or more prescription drugs. That can lead to serious complications.

Dear Neighbors,
I want to introduce myself and my 25-year practice of herbal and nutrition counseling services for people with a wide array of health concerns. I’ve worked with thousands of cancer patients, supporting them mostly through conventional oncology treatment with concurrent help from botanical and nutritional supplements, nourishing immune-optimized diet, and lifestyle changes. I assist people with cardiovascular disease, cognitive, and mood issues, GI troubles, allergies, arthritis, fertility, skin, menopause, endocrine, vision, immune, respiratory, sleep, and other issues. Specialty areas of my practice include stroke and MI recovery, weight loss, wound healing, skin rejuvenation, neurological regeneration, Rx side effect management, and herbs and nutrition for strength, energy, and endurance. My primary goal is to partner with people to reduce their health risks and live healthier, more active lives. If I feel I cannot help, I will do my best to tell you up front. I treat people, not diseases, acknowledging that healing is not one-size-fits-all.

I’m excited to work and live in East Boynton and hopefully make some new friends, including in the healthcare community. Though I grew up in Fort Lee, New Jersey and spent over 20 years living in the Pacific NW, I’ve been visiting family in South Florida for most of my life. I joke that I’m sort of a third generation Boyntonian. My mom lives here, and my grandparents spent their last years in Boynton Beach. My fiancée Heather, an RN, has worked as nurse house manager at Bethesda Hospital East, including during the beginning and peak of Covid in 2020. We had a great time living in Delray at that time, despite the incredible challenges, especially for her and her colleagues.

I also manufacture a line of herbal products that are beyond the potency and quality of retail and practitioner distributed supplements. I’ve developed and curated this uniquely formulated selection over the past decade, which includes clinically studied herbal extract ingredients, all available through our mail order dispensary. I’ve taught college health classes for 15 years in functional and sports nutrition and environmental health and worked in renowned integrative oncology clinics, primarily in the Pacific Northwest. I still have an office and practice near Seattle employing herbal healing principles from various traditions and am among a relatively small number of peer-reviewed clinical Registered Herbalists recognized by the American Herbalists Guild.

If you’re interested in counseling, company wellness programs, classes, or purchasing botanical and nutrition products, feel free to direct message me. I can steer you to my website and follow up through email to schedule a phone or video initial consultation.

Respectfully yours,

Michael Altman

Had a nice chat with Karen Butler, Senior Editor of Natural Products Insider, after Supply Side West in Las Vegas. We discussed personalized supplementation and herbal and natural products sustainability concerns. https://www.naturalproductsinsider.com/healthy-living/healthy-aging-formulating-help-people-and-planet-–-podcast

Almost all seaweed species are edible and offer an array of nutritional and metabolic benefits. Seaweeds are especially abundant in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. https://www.kuow.org/stories/whatever-happened-to-the-sensational-seaweed-that-supposedly-tastes-like-bacon?fbclid=IwAR0MZ8WAyMakIkC8fLCz7DGGQvvB9vWauVuXnd4JbqHNx10CeAf6cv7VpAU

Oregon State University created something of a sensation back in 2015 when researchers announced they discovered and patented "seaweed that tastes like bacon."

Make turmeric (and ginger, rosemary, thyme, cardamom and other herbs and spices) part of your daily diet. http://www.nutritionaloutlook.com/science/recent-study-suggests-curcumin-safe-use-adjuvant-chemotherapy-potential-clinical-benefits

A recent clinical trial published in The Journal of Nutrition adds to the existing body of evidence that curcumin can be used safely as an adjuvant therapy with cancer drugs. 1

Iranians have long used traditional remedies to cure all kinds of ailments - pennyroyal to soothe, chicory to purify, marjoram to lift the spirits. But a rapid recent growth in traditional medicine has led to problems with regulation

One of our latest products, BosWillow Inflammation Advantage, a combination of high Boswellic Acid Frankincense Extract and Willow Bark Extract, is already a hit for joint pain and headaches. The polyphenols, flavonoids and salicin in willow bark are safer than NSAIDS and work synergistically in conjunction with Frankincense. Another clinically calibrated and safe dynamic duo formula, contact me about sourcing BosWillow in volume or in 150 Vcap bags.
