Through their books, classes, workout DVD and workshops, Andy Larson, M.D. and Ivy Larson (aka the 2 Larsons) strive to help people learn to make healthy living doable and enjoyable. By combining Andy larson’s medical knowledge with Ivy Larson’s background in fitness and love of whole foods cooking, the couple developed a “get real” lifestyle program that can help you achieve ideal health …..and the body that goes with it! It’s a program that started as a result of Ivy Larson’s personal health problem in 1998. After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 22 she explored her options (with Andy Larson’s help!) and discovered a natural approach to greatly improving her health through lifestyle modification and nutritional therapy. Figuring he had nothing to lose (except maybe a few pounds), Andy soon adopted Ivy’s healthy regimen. He saw a quick and dramatic improvement in his body fat percentage, blood pressure and energy level. During the time he was revamping his lifestyle, he was also going through a very tough surgical residency and busier than busy but he soon became hooked on his new way of life, which turned out to be not that difficult to follow after all! Almost one year to the day after their wedding, Ivy Larson and Andy Larson had their first child and he too was thrust into the couple’s healthy living routine. The Larson’s son, Blake, is now 7 years old and he’s reaped the rewards of their healthy lifestyle from day one. Blake has been on antibiotics just once in his life, he’s never had an ear infection, he doesn’t have allergies, he doesn’t suffer from asthma, he rarely gets sick and with the exception of his regular scheduled check-ups, he doesn’t need to visit his pediatrician.

Over the last decade, the Larson’s have worked hard to bring their healthy lifestyle program out of their home and into the homes of others. Their books have sold tens of thousands of copies and they’ve helped countless people with inflammatory conditions, heart disease and type 2 diabetes all improve their health and quality of life. In addition to gaining health, their program has also helped thousands of people lose weight. In fact, the number one “side benefit” of following the Larson’s healthy living program is hunger-free weight loss.

Most importantly, Dr. Larson and Ivy Larson have created their healthy lifestyle program with real life in mind---they’ll help you slim down and get healthy without deprivation, starvation or complete frustration. Their nutrition advice focuses on unrefined whole foods…foods in their most naturally nutritious state. For people who are tired of counting calories, carbs, fats and points---the Larsons make nutrition count instead! They’ve worked hard to remove the “granola” factor associated with natural foods and instead put together books and classes combining updated medically sound nutrition advice with trendy, tasty and easy to prepare recipes. Their goal is to help you navigate a less-processed, more nutritious, more natural and more delicious world of eating and cooking. When it comes to exercise, Ivy and Andy are just like you, they want to do the absolute bare minimum of “exercise fun”! They’ll show you how to exercise smarter, not harder and how to get dramatic body changing results in just 30-minutes, 3 days a week. If you’ve got questions about how to live better and live healthy---without going to extremes--- the Larsons have answers!
