Marlene McKee, N.E., DIHom.

As a Nutrition Educator for 27 years, my mission has been to help people achieve vibrant health by teaching them how to eat for fitness and energy and not merely to satisfy hunger and gratify cravings. When I lived in Ann Arbor some years ago, I owned a highly successful health food store and gave presentations to women’s groups, clubs, etc. around town. These were well attended and resulted in valuable exchange of information and ideas. On Sundays I baked bread for pre-schools so kids could have whole grain bread. I even taught young mothers how to be “sneaky” organic cooks so their children would eat vegetables!

As a homeopath, I add to my nutrition program remedies that promote cellular rejuvenation and induce the body to heal itself.

I was born, raised and educated in Germany. Although I studied nutrition later on, it was my mother who introduced me to eating well and taught me discipline regarding food as a young girl. She talked to us about vitamins when no one else had even heard of them! She had a vast knowledge of medicinal herbs and, from early on, she showed me how to collect and dry herbs for use as medicine. My mother cured us of childhood diseases with herbs. I did the same with my children – and they grew up strong and healthy just as my brother and I did.

In addition to my lifelong pursuit of knowledge related to health and nutrition issues, I received my undergraduate degree in biological sciences from the University of Frankfurt. I also have certifications as a Diet Counselor and Nutrition Educator from Bauman College in Berkeley, CA. Prior to that, I received my Diploma in Advanced Studies in Homeopathy from the British Institute of Homeopathy in England where I lived at that time. I did an internship in homeopathy with James Stephenson, M.D. in New York City.

Because of my upbringing, I know we can heal ourselves with proper food, nature’s medicines and our body’s innate wisdom. My education has underscored my beliefs in exercise and healthy eating as the passions in my life. They make me feel good and I want everybody to feel good too. Come join me and raise your Body IQ.
