HELLO, AND WELCOME TO MY SITE!

Hello friend...
​
My name is Candia Lea Cole, and I'm known within the holistic health community as "The Eco-Conscious Cook" & "The Eco-Intelligent Lifestyle Mentor." I create educational tools that support individuals, families, and wellness educators in learning about (and teaching others about) how to nourish wellness in their bodies and the earth. My educational tools (including books, infographics, cooking videos, online courses, and more) represent the fertile outgrowth of my life-long experience with environmental illness. Essentially, they reflect the beautiful and empowering life lessons that my quest for health inspired in me.
​In today's world, a world that has become increasingly toxic due to our disconnection from nature's wisdom for living well, millions of people are now developing the symptoms of environmental illness. Conditions such as birth defects, infertility, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, digestive issues, asthma, autism, and cancer, are but a few examples of disease conditions that develop in the body as the result of a toxic body burden. If you, or someone you care about, are dealing with these health issues, the importance of adopting a cleaner, greener lifestyle (one that includes whole foods nutrition, and earth-sourced medicines) can't be overstated.

I INVITE YOU TO "SAMPLE TASTE" THE FERTILE OUTGROWTH
OF MY SELF-LEARNING, SELF-HEALING JOURNEY!
​
Tabletop TUTORS™ Info-graphics- This stunning collection of 250+ colorful, text-rich infographics highlights the value and necessity of eating clean and creating a clean, green, non-toxic lifestyle. 20 category topics make learning easy, fun, and engaging for laypeople and professionals alike!
Farm Alarm Game- This eye-opening crossword puzzle activity tests your knowledge about what GMOs are, and how they are known to impact human and environmental health. It offers to be a good teaching tool for parents and home-schooled youth who are in their teens.
Eco-Bites© Food Treasure Hunt Game - This fun, hands-on activity invites you and your family or classroom to identify foods whose production has a positive or negative effect on your health and the earth's health. Will you be a consumer of conventionally produced foods or organically produced foods?
Tasting Life the Vegetarian Way- This resource guide, designed for use by homeschool teachers or public school teachers, is brimming with eye-opening insights about the rich history of vegetarianism, and its benefits to humans, animals, and the environment. Scripts are included that give you an easy way to plan and execute informative and fun "Vegetarian Awareness" presentations.
OUT with the USDA Eating Model, IN with the Eco-Intelligent Eating Model - This book/curriculum makes the case for eating the "eco-intelligent way" versus the "eco-negligent" way. The USDA eating model, you'll discover, is aligned with corporate interests and biases, and because of this, its eating guidelines are flawed and misleading. The alternative is the Eco-Intelligent Eating Model. This model promotes your consumption of the earth's traditional whole foods and inspires you to learn about their legend, lore, health benefits, and culinary uses. In my online training, "Become an Eco-Intelligent Eating Advocate & Mentor", videos are offered, to highlight the book's content.
3 Whole Foods Cookbooks + Video Cooking Classes- These cookbooks (now presented in video format) will please vegetarians and whole food lovers alike. My nut milk beverages are smooth-sipping taste sensations that provide a healthful alternative to cow's milk. My dairy-free, rainbow-colored smoothies are thick and luscious 4-season drinks that will detoxify and rejuvenate your body. My gourmet grain dishes are savoy 4-season dishes that make it easy to eat less meat while enjoying nature's ancient grains.
Eco-Enlightened Eating - In this booklet, I interview myself about what inspired me to create each of my three cookbooks. The "self-inner-view" is a fascinating probe into the deeper recesses of my mind. It allows me to tap into the spiritual reasons why I cook and how I relate to my ingredients and the elements that nourished them into existence. It also allows me to view my kitchen and culinary tools in a new light, --one that inspires me to view cooking as an effort of my soul rather than an unwanted appointment with my pots and pans.
Nourishing Your Mental & Emotional Well-Being The Eco-Intelligent Way - This book is an invitation to explore a pharmacy of health-giving foods and nutritional supplements that Mother Nature asserts, have the power to nourish the body-mind system as a whole, and in turn, alleviate the mental and neurological health imbalances that so many os us deal with. Consider this book a true friend if you suffer from depression, anxiety, mood swings, ADHD, OCD, behavioral issues, and memory problems.
Parenting Our Special Needs Youth The Eco-Intelligent Way- In this book, I share the special (unmet) needs that I had while growing up, and the special needs that my son has, which I'm now doing my best to meet. I also share my perspective on why I believe that all children, teens, and young adults growing up in today's toxic, frenzied world have special needs. Our children, this book asserts, are here to help us grow and evolve. Why are we allowing them to eat processed foods, become social media junkies, and consume psychotropic drugs, if there is a better, more eco-conscious way to live and thrive? This book can be purchased by itself on Amazon. It is also included in my Eco-Intelligent Autism Mentor Training Course online.
Eco-Intelligent Remedies for Autism Spectrum that Think Outside the Box — This resource guide is designed for parents and caregivers of young people living with a diagnosis of autism or those who fall near the spectrum, but are considered "high-functioning." You'll learn about the spiritual disconnection that I believe lies at the root of autism and the environmental stressors that I've learned precede its development. 250 holistic health remedies are offered, that provide you with a drug-free approach to addressing the needs of the whole child. The book can be purchased on Amazon. it is also included in my Eco-Intelligent Autism Mentor Training Course online.
