Healthy Tummy Initiative

As a family-oriented, Naturopathic Doctor and food lover, my goal is to become much more involved in the nutrition and education communities ensuring that children are getting fed (and fed well!) both at home and in the classroom.

I would like to introduce myself, Dr. Laurie Brodsky, Director of Wellness at a Migraine/Headache center in Manhattan, along with the Healthy Tummy Initiative, a program created to provide schools across the city with an innovative, hands-on, educational Wellness Curriculum that was designed to enhance students' nutritional vocabulary and mindset for preventative, healthy living and to eradicate childhood diabetes and obesity in America, one happy tummy at a time.

The Healthy Tummy Initiative is in alignment with the current USDA and Department of Health guidelines for health, including initiatives such as: Take Care NYC, Cut the Salt, 5 A Day, My Plate, Sugary Drinks and Cut Your Risk. My vision is that I am able to powerfully spread these Health Messages to the young population throughout the school system in hopes of fostering life-long habits of healthy eating.

Please join me on my journey... Thanks for your support!
