Charlotte Bear, MS, CN believes true vitality starts in the kitchen. It is her personal and professional mission to help her island community simplify their cooking routines, locate (or grow!) nutrient-dense ingredients, and adopt a more mindful, sustainable lifestyle in order to achieve their ultimate health goals!

She received her master’s degree in functional nutrition from the National University of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, to compliment her skills as a home chef, culinary instructor, homesteader, and healthy-living expert.

At Whidbey Nutrition, Charlotte and her husband, Alex serve the island community with personalized meal plans, group sessions, culinary lessons, and nutrition counseling. Charlotte is thrilled to be self-publishing her first cookbook, Holiday Harvest.

We wholeheartedly believe that the food we eat determines our health outcomes. Eating whole foods that are grown and cooked with intention not only gives us a powerful and enjoyable experience, it also has a tremendous impact on lowering levels of cellular inflammation -- the underlying cause of the chronic diseases that plague our society. It never ceases to amaze, the ripple effect eating local has on the health of our planet’s air, soil, water, animals, economy, and humanity at large.
