Newsletter
Summer 2009 Edition
Welcome to our very first newsletter!
A special thanks to our customers for supporting our store!
Since our opening, we have added many new products and are continually searching for additional clean, healthy, gluten and allergen free products.
Due to high demand, manufacturers are continually adding new gluten and allergen free items. We welcome your feedback and suggestions, as our goal is to carry items that you want and need!
You may have noticed the frequency of our free classes has reduced as families are camping, traveling and enjoying the outdoors. (Look for our full line of natural product for those nasty bugs, ticks and flies, as well as sunscreen.) Class offerings will increase again as cool weather approaches.
We look forward to participating in Woodbury Days, August 28th, 29th and 30th. This is a fun-filled family event offering many activities and wonderful things to see, rides to ride, and foods to eat!
Join us for the great Minnesota get-together - the State Fair. We will be at the Northland Celiac Support Group’s booth, Kare11 building, Friday, August 28th. We look forward to seeing you there!
There are so many wonderful things to see and do in Minnesota during the Summer so we understand if you are busy, but please make room for our awesome Gluten Free Health Fairs August 15th and 22nd.
A Word from Jeff and Jodi
Welcome, and thank you for supporting our mission to provide healthy food, supplements, body care and household products for all who seek them!
Daily we receive the gratitude of customers through kind words and expressions of thanks for creating this special store, Tailor Made Nutrition. We are also asked quite often how and why we created this store. Following is a little background ….
Five years ago, Jeff and I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Norman, Certified Nutritionist. It was during this time that my father, Pat, was dealing with the life-changing diagnosis of Stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma (a very deadly form of cancer). Utterly distraught and desperate to help my father, we turned to Mark - who was very highly recommended - with the intention of finding ways to support Pat nutritionally through numerous bouts of chemotherapy, radiation, and ultimately a stem cell transplant.
Pat completely changed his eating habits - he cut out all refined products (sugar, wheat) as well as caffeine. We began incorporating whole foods (fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and supplements) all under Mark’s direction and encouragement. We were simply amazed at how well his body responded, and how he breezed through all the prescribed Western medical treatments for this serious condition. Doctor’s and Nurse’s, too, were impressed by how remarkably well his body handled the barrage of medications.
As of today Pat is thriving! He continues to receive a “clean bill of health” from his doctor at each 6-month check-up. He feels GREAT, and is leading a very active lifestyle. Due to our commitment to Pat and his health, we began to apply our new-found knowledge (Thank You, Mark!) to our every day lives. Needless to say, both our immediate and extended families have enjoyed the benefits that good health brings!
Through this, we understood that some day, some how, we would reach out to others and help to provide a healthy place to shop, with products one could trust, as well as the people who sell them!
Our dreams were attained on February 2, 2009, when, with our partners, Mark Norman and Penny Winzer, we opened the doors of Tailor Made Nutrition / Gluten Free 4 U. Along with them, and our knowledgeable staff, our passion is to provide a store that is friendly, welcoming, and easy to navigate. Your feedback is KEY in helping us to achieve this mission. We look forward to seeing you!
