Stealth Nutrition: How Health is Hiding Behind Flavor

A bowl of carrot soup. It's stealth nutrition at its best, delivering nourishing goodness disguised as an enticing, flavorful dish.

I thoroughly enjoyed a recent article on Medium.com about Dr. Christopher Gardner and his innovative approach to helping people eat more healthfully. It’s a fascinating read so I wanted to share it with you. 

When it comes to food, Dr. Gardner is a big fan of taste, joy, and pleasure. (Aren’t we all!) Yet, as a nutrition researcher, he also wants our meals to be healthy and environmentally sustainable. 

We can have both, says Dr. Gardner. 

I certainly believe him. After all, the good doctor is as practical as he is smart from his “flip it” advice” to his penchant for indulgent names to entice people to eat better.

It’s all part of his research efforts as the inaugural holder of the Rehnborg Farquhar Professorship at Stanford University. The article is called The Secret to Better Health May Be Eating Delicious Food written by Ashley Abramson.

It’s a quick 6-minute read. I believe it’s 6 minutes well worth your time.

Hope you enjoy!

Cheers,

Dr. Sam

Nutrilite Traceability Program Revisited

When I challenged him to show us his Double X, I expected to see a pocket carrier with a two-day supply, instead he pulled out an entire container to the delighted cheers of the ballroom audience.

Health & Wellbeing

Product of the product

Personal wellbeing isn’t just about you or me. It’s about the people around us, our family, friends and the greater community. Taking care of yourself, nurturing your connection with nature, and making an effort to transform challenges into opportunities, will help lead us to a future where we can all happily coexist.

Dr. Sam's Journey

The pursuit of wellness

Wellness has always been central to my story. When my father, Carl F. Rehnborg, founded Nutrilite in 1934, his goal was to help people everywhere take responsibility for their health, their wealth, and the planet. Even then, he knew that all these things were interconnected. His vision shaped my own path—a journey grounded in curiosity, science, and a passion for helping others live well.

Amway & Nutrilite

Farming

Farming for the future

There’s a long history of farming innovation at Nutrilite. It started when my father, Carl F. Rehnborg, began growing alfalfa in the 1930s before we even knew to call it organic. He was looking for the purest, most nutritious botanicals, and he already knew that they needed to be grown sustainably and naturally, without any synthetic fertilizers or chemicals. That same belief continues to guide us today.
