Customized Healthy Cooking Classes, with Lupa Irie

No one understands the beauty of the pick-and-choose lifestyle better than Progressive Medical Center’s in-house lifestyle coach and natural chef, Lupa Irie, with over 35 years of experience enriching lives through nutritious, uncannily delicious (always uncanned!) health foods.

In her home-style, organic kitchen, in the center of Progressive’s state-of-the-art wellness facility, Lupa practices her “Let Your Food Be Your Medicine” mantra through natural, organic cooking for patients and clients. By teaching you to create their own dishes that are geared to achieve your individual health needs (which can be determined by the physicians on staff at Progressive), Lupa will create a personalized natural cooking class around your every wellness whim. For guests that are not sure what they want to achieve from their fresh, natural cooking class, Progressive offers the most reliable tests available, at its own, on-site medical lab, to identify allergies, food intolerances, nutritional deficiencies, and more. Overall, topics focus on foods that help to re-build digestion, reduce inflammation, and work with the body instead of against it.
