NuTRISHus Community Programs

The L.E.A.N. Programs® are a family of workshops developed by “America’s Pediatrician” Dr. William Sears and Exercise Physiologist, Sean Foy, MA. These educational programs utilize Dr. Sears’ simple techniques for parents and children in making nutrition fun, tasty, and easy to understand and implement. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, a child’s learning, behavior, happiness, performance, and attitude are positively impacted.

A L.E.A.N Foundation for Parents

Dr.Sears’ L.E.A.N. Essentials is a fun, interactive and educational course for parents and caregivers who have limited time or may want to initially take small steps towards learning more about nutrition and healthy living for their children and families. The Program focuses on the four pillars of health:

Lifestyle-How we live
Exercise- How we move
Attitude- How we think
Nutrition- How we eat

Parents and caregivers are provided the basic framework to begin  moving towards healthier choices and behaviors in one short course taught by Trisha Miltimore, a Certified L.E.A.N Coach. Participants learn through direct instruction and group participation. Subjects discussed include:

• Why you should care about what your children eat?
• Traffic Light Eating
• Why Breakfast is Important
