Meet Derrick Foust

For most of my adult life, I tried to find wellness practices that worked for me.

Here’s six things about me:

  1. I’m all about two things: good vibes and great food
  2. I ditched corporate America to chase my true passions – best decision ever!
  3. Hot sauce? I’m basically its biggest fan; I’ve never met one I didn’t love!
  4. Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) through the Nutritional Therapy Association, Inc.
  5. Alumni of the Denver Integrative Massage School.
  6. Currently on a quest for my Master’s in Clinical Nutrition at Sonoran University.
 

This is not your average wellness practice; and I am not your average holistic practitioner.

I have extensive experience supporting clients with:

  • Anxiety
  • Sports Injury
  • Neck Pain
  • Range of Motion
  • GI Dysfunction
  • Fatigue
  • Adrenal Dysfunction
  • Weight Management

I view the world of food, health, and wellness through a lens of diversity, inclusivity, and honesty. My innate passion for local food has always been connected to an understanding — from a young age growing up on a family farm — that some people have access to nutritious foods, while others simply do not.

This duality is the foundation for my work: celebrating the beauty in local agriculture while creating resources to advance food justice and build more sustainable, equitable systems.
