The Bauman College

Eating For Health™ Institute

Who is Bauman College?
Bauman College of Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts is dba for the Institute for Educational
Therapy, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit educational institution. Bauman College was founded by Dr.
Edward Bauman in 1989 to provide professional training and community education based upon his
approach to whole food nutrition called Eating For Health™.

What is Eating For Health™?

Eating For Health™ was designed by Dr. Edward Bauman to provide an alternative to the USDA Food
Pyramid model. Eating For Health™ encourages the use of fresh, local, seasonal, organic, natural
foods, with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices, whole grains,
and legumes with organic dairy, eggs, seafood, and pasture-raised animal foods.

What is the Eating For Health™ Institute?

The Eating For Health™ Institute is a new division of Bauman College, dedicated to bringing non-
biased nutrition, culinary, and self-care practices to the widest possible audience. It aims to pro-
vide local, regional, national, international, and on-line services to teach and mentor people with
premature and preventable illness how to regain control of their health through improved diet,
attitude, and lifestyle practices.

Mission Statement
Bauman College aims to create a sustainable culture of wellness in individuals, in the community, and in our health
care delivery systems by promoting a comprehensive and integrative approach to Holistic Nutrition and the Culinary
Arts.

We are committed to bringing our Eating For Health™ model to an ever wider audience, advocating the use of whole,
organic foods, nutritive herbs, and appropriate supplementation to promote health, restore metabolic balance, and
support recovery from injury and illness. The unifying Bauman College philosophy of holistic nutrition and culinary arts
aims to change the way people consume food from convenience to conscious eating.

We educate people of all ages to participate in an earth-friendly paradigm shift that supports natural, chemical-free
agriculture, aqua-culture, and animal-culture to feed and heal a malnourished world. Our professional training pro-
grams prepare individuals for successful careers as Nutrition Consultants and Natural Chefs. Personal Growth pro-
grams and public outreach provide practical education in nutrition fundamentals and healthy living.

Edward Bauman, M.Ed., Ph.D.
D r. Bauman received his Masters in Education
from the University of Massachusetts and Ph.D.
in Health Education from the University of New Mexico.
He is the president, founder, and director of Bauman
College of Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts, with
distance learning and classroom programs in Berkeley,
Penngrove, and Santa Cruz, CA; and in Boulder, CO.
Bauman College is a 501c (3) nonprofit, public benefit
corporation, approved to provide professional vocational
training by the California Board of Education, Bureau of
Private and Post Secondary Education, since 1989.

Dr. Bauman has been a groundbreaking leader and

author in the field of whole food nutrition for the past
35 years. He developed the Eating For Health™ nutrition
model as an effective way to promote optimal health,
address life changing illness, and discover the joy of
eating fresh, local, seasonal, organic, natural foods.
He is also the director of the Bauman Nutrition Clinic,
where he consults with individuals, families, groups,
schools, and businesses to create health and to naturally
manage chronic illness or organization stress, which
leads to diminished productivity and morale, as well as
increased medical costs.
Dr. Bauman is the author of the best-selling Holistic
Health Handbook, Holistic Health Lifebook, Eating
For Health™: A Guide to Optimum Health and Vitality,
Nutrition Essentials for Everyone, Foundations of
Nutrition Textbook, Therapeutic Nutrition Textbook, and
the Recipes and Remedies for Rejuvenation Cookbook.
Ed has written a program for national health promotion
called Restoring America's Health!™ (RAH!), with directions
on wellness, cooking, and whole food nutrition education.
Based upon his Nutrition Essentials For Everyone™ course
for the benefit of all segments of the population, RAH!
has been submitted to President Obama's Health Reform
Team. Ed is a special advisor to, and past president of, the
Board of Directors of the National Association of Nutrition
Professionals (www.nanp.org).
For the past 25 years, Dr. Bauman has been leading
Vitality Fasting™ Retreats, wherein participants reside
for 4 days to 2 weeks in a pristine, natural setting and
enjoy a healing diet of fresh juices, herbal teas, vital
shakes, and mineral broths while also receiving ample
rest, rejuvenation, and the opportunity to engage in
yoga, meditation, massage, hiking, colon cleansing,
and nutrition education classes. These retreats have
helped people gain the tools to control and, in some
cases, reverse life-threatening illnesses such as cancer,
autoimmune, cardiovascular, and neurological disease.
Dr Bauman is a delightfully wise, practical, and inspiring
teacher and mentor who makes complex nutritional
information easy to digest and put into practice. He
is passionate about expanding the reach of Eating For
Health™ Institute public benefit programs that teach
the value of eating fresh, natural foods and hands on
cooking skills to youth, seniors, and people with life
threatening illness. He is ably supported by his staff,
faculty, wife, and dynamic daughter and outreach
coordinator, Jessica Bauman.
Dr. Bauman is a remarkable educator who teaches the
science of nutrition, the art of cooking, the skill of stress
management, the power of love, and intention to direct
healing for individuals and groups willing to assume
responsibility for not only their health, but the health of
society and the planet.

Call to Action
B auman College has the experience, resources, and will
to promote profound social change. Our nation’s cur-
rent model of medicine is excellent for urgencies and emer-
gencies, but is sorely lacking in person to person programs
and services. Technology is not the answer for a child who is
obese, a senior who is disoriented, or a woman who has suf-
fered from multiple recurrences of cancer, despite repeated
rounds of surgery, chemotherapy, and hormone blocking
medication. Their quality of life is sorely lacking. Eating For
Health™�����������������������������������������������
Institute programs will connect people to men-
tors, teachers, and fellow humans who want to take greater
responsibility for their health. It is not meant to replace
medicine, but work in an integrative way to teach people to
eat well, understand the nature of their illness, and be a part
of a functional wholesome, non-exploitive community that
supports wellbeing and is grounded in nature and in love.
