Read Food Labels
Course
Confused at the grocery store?
One label says “light,” another says “no sugar added” — but what does it really mean? With thousands of additives, loopholes, and misleading claims, shopping for food can feel overwhelming.
This course makes it simple. In just a few short lessons, you’ll learn how to:
Spot labeling tricks and marketing loopholes
Quickly calculate sugar content (and visualize it in teaspoons)
Use carb-to-fiber ratios to compare products
Identify the Top 5 Ingredients to Avoid
Practice with real food labels so you know exactly what to put in your cart
The result? Confidence every time you shop — no more second-guessing, no more getting fooled by health-washed packaging.
Clear steps. Practical tools. Smarter shopping in minutes.
A program for the person who’s ready to stop guessing and finally build a solid foundation for their health.
This is the same roadmap every private client begins with—because no matter the symptoms or goals, these foundational steps always come first. Without them, nothing else sticks.
Created by functional medicine practitioner Bernadette Abraham, founder of B Better, this program distills years of private client experience into a structured, self-paced system. It’s holistic, but not overwhelming—summarized into clear, actionable steps across the 6 Health Pillars: hydration, air & skin, sleep, movement, thoughts, and food.
You’ll uncover where you’re falling short, learn simple upgrades you can start today, and layer on lasting habits that support your energy, mood, focus, and overall resilience. No random hacks, no restrictive diets, no expensive supplement stacks—just the essentials that create real, sustainable health.
What you’ll walk away with:
- The same foundational framework used with private clients—distilled into easy steps
- A proven system to upgrade your sleep, energy, mood, and daily resilience
- Practical hydration, air, and low-tox living strategies anyone can apply
- Movement and lifestyle upgrades that actually fit into busy lives
- Food and mindset tools that simplify “healthy” into something doable
- Confidence in your ability to care for your health long-term
When you’re done, you won’t just have information—you’ll have a holistic roadmap you can return to anytime. It’s the same foundation that has transformed client after client—now simplified so you can start building it for yourself.

The Beginner’s Health Roadmap makes holistic health simple, practical, and flexible—meeting you where you are and giving you trusted resources and brand suggestions every step of the way.

Your health journey begins in the mind. This section helps you pause and reflect on whether your daily choices line up with your goals.

With the right mindset, healthy change becomes not only possible, but sustainable.
Water is the foundation of energy, detox, and digestion.

You’ll also get practical evening routine strategies and brand suggestions for products and tools that support quality sleep.
Movement is more powerful than just “exercise.”

Why Bernadette created this course: This was one of the first she built because everyone asks the same question—“Where do I start?” In her 1:1 work, she saw overwhelm stall progress until clients focused on a few fundamentals, in the right order. So she turned that first-phase framework into a simple on-ramp anyone can follow to cut confusion, build momentum, and lay the foundation for every other program.
