By Cassandra Frey
Master herbalist and
Clinical Nutritionist
Bobbi Conner of
Paso Robles is passionate about
her role in helping the community
thrive, become healthy, and
find balance. Conner founded
the Natural Alternative Nutrition
Center in Paso Robles in
1995, after graduating from Trinity
College of Natural Health as a
Master Herbalist. She continued
her education with the American
Academy of Nutrition as a board
certified Nutrition Consultant,
and she continues her education
in clinical nutrition and functional
medicine by regularly attending
seminars throughout the year.
“Becoming a nutritionist was
necessary,” she said. “To share my
experience and knowledge with
“With my detox /weight
loss programs, my
clients report weight
loss averaging 10-20 lbs
with renewed energy,
mental clarity, and a
foundation for
healthier eating habits.”
others who want to improve their
own health.”
Conner admittedly wasn’t always
in the best health, she shared, and
as a young woman she realized her
passion for finding a natural approach
to healing.
“As I reached my twenties, my
health was not as optimal as I
would have liked, so I began studying
nutrition and the importance of
food as medicine,” Conner said. “I
wanted to learn how supplements
would help support my high-stress
lifestyle.”
Conner remembers growing
up eating whole foods at
her family’s dinner table, which
helped to set the stage for a successful
and healthy lifestyle.
“I always seemed to be fighting
various viruses as I grew up,
and antibiotics were routine in
my life,” she said.
She noticed an increase in her
energy, vitality, and a remarkable
improvement in her immune system
just by making simple changes
to her diet and lifestyle, leading her
to open The Natural Alternative
Nutrition Store in 1995.
“I have met with individuals wanting
to not only achieve a healthy
weight, but also improve their cardiovascular
health, sleep better, improve
digestion and much more,” she said.
“With my detox/weight loss programs,
my clients report weight loss
averaging 10-20 lbs. with renewed
energy, mental clarity, and a foundation
for healthier eating habits.”
Conner and her team strive to
educate their customers, helping
them to make the proper dietary
and lifestyle changes to achieve
optimal wellness. Her message is
simple, “Change your diet, exercise
daily, and practice disease prevention,
that’s the Natural Alternative.”
This year in April, The Natural
Alternative Nutrition Center celebrates
its annual customer appreciation
day, which is their way of
saying thank you to the community.
“I am proud of my team, and I love
to serve the community in such a
wholesome way,” Conner said.
