Specializing in nutrition for people with disabilities, Joanne Smith knows that nutrition has a profound impact on our physical and mental health. Life with a disability is a delicate balance of trying to stay healthy and avoiding any associated secondary health issues. It is often the secondary health problems that prevent us from living independently. That’s why proper nutrition and healthy living are essential. Fruitful Elements applies this philosophy in its preventative health approach – providing individuals with wise nutritional and lifestyle choices. Fruitful Elements specializes in delivering one-on- one personal consultations, individualized nutrition protocols, menu planning, cooking workshops and group presentations.
