Goal
Welcome to Essence Health and Research Foundation (EH&R), a 501c3 nonprofit in Sammamish, WA that provides clinical nutrition/nutrigenomics services, clinical research, public health education, and yoga for injury services. Clinical nutrition services are provided from a Functional Nutrition perspective based on the Functional Medicine approach. Clinical research using nutrition and yoga interventions helps to improve healthcare for many chronic disease and mental health conditions. This nonprofit also helps people in need to have access to these services when funding is available.
Your donation has a powerful effect on the programs and services at EH&R and can help make a powerful impact in Sammamish WA and surrounding communities and in the state of Washington. Thank you so much for your contribution!
Project Thrive is the precision nutrition and medicine initiative of Essence Health & Research which is focused on evidence based research to advance clinical nutrition care and education for the general public for medical conditions. The focus is to create awareness and solutions for how nutrition and genetics play a powerful role in chronic disease, inflammation, health conditions, body toxicity, and prevention of disease. These services are designed to reach the Sammamish and surrounding communities. The highest focus of the Project Thrive initiative will be clinical research and the advancement of nutrition and yoga based research to enhance standard of care for medical conditions.
SERVICES/COSTS (to help you determine your donation amount)
Clinical Nutrition/Nutrigenomics services are specifically designed for those with autoimmune/chronic inflammatory health conditions, weight issues, emotional eating issues, food sensitivities/allergens, addiction, depression/anxiety, and more. Assessments of vitamin/mineral deficiencies are critical for transformational change in health.
Clinical Research services are paired with both the clinical nutrition and yoga services where patients have the option to have their care/case be apart of clinical research with their permission. There may also be times where recruitment of the general public for clinical research in nutrition and yoga will also happen to look at specific responses of therapeutic diets on medical conditions.
Public Health education work through this nonprofit include classes/trainings, booklets, and regular education pieces to share with the local community and WA state to stay up to date on critical health information related to chronic disease, the immune system, how to use nutrition correctly, how to interpret research, and more. Services can cost from $25-200 depending on needs.
Yoga Instruction and the Essence Yoga Teacher Training Program are also a valuable addition of services for this nonprofit and your donation makes it possible to provide scholarships for classes, programs, and workshops for those in need.
Emergency/Crisis Nutrition Kits are specialized kits with vitamins, minerals, and non-perishable foods that are found by research to help specific populations, those with specific vitamin/mineral deficiencies, to help during emergency/disaster times, and those with chronic diseases. These kits can be created for the individual, for groups, or for emergency/disaster needs. They can be donated to groups like the homeless, those with addiction and depression/anxiety, families/individuals in need, hospitals, first responders, and more. They can also be purchased for individual, family, and business needs. The purpose of these kits are to help people thrive to get specific vitamins and minerals to feed the brain and body without the harmful effects of adding in foods that may be contributing to chronic disease and poor health. Each kit has important education about how to use it why the chosen products and foods help the body during crisis and need.
Thank you so much for supporting us and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
