Bauman College’s curriculum is based on the Eating for Health model, a whole foods approach to nutrition. Eating for Health relies on the best quality and the most nutrient-dense, seasonal, organic, unprocessed, and local foods. I acknowledges that every person has varying needs and requires an individualized eating plan, one that even changes throughout our lives with our health, our age, and our level of activity. Individual circumstance, environment, and health status must be taken into account when developing proper diet and lifestyle recommendations. Eating for health as a non-dogmatic approach to nourishment that welcomes, but does not favor, any of a wide variety of diet choices - vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, microbiotic, etc. Our mission is to change the world through nutrition, one bite at a time.
