Your Wellness Guides

Alex & Charlotte Bear, WA-state certified nutritionists

Hi! We are Alex and Charlotte Bear, WA-state certified nutritionists with a combined 20+ years of experience helping people achieve their wellness goals through evidence-based nutrition counseling, practical culinary skills, and supportive health coaching that make lasting change possible.

Alex, former nutritional genetics professor and Fortune 500 health coach, has dedicated his career to making healthy eating both personalized and sustainable. Charlotte, a health-supportive home-chef, Whidbey Island Grown content creator, and Slow Food Whidbey Island board member, believes true wellness starts in the kitchen and is passionate about helping people use local foods to heal their bodies.

We met in graduate school at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR while completing master’s degrees in holistic nutrition. On a spring break trip from Portland to Vancouver, BC in 2018, we bonded over a vision of empowering communities to heal together through local, wholesome foods while sharing a meal together on our friend’s homestead in Freeland.

We got married on that same farm in Freeland in 2022, moved to Whidbey soon after, and opened Whidbey Nutrition in 2024. Now, we’re honored to provide the Whidbey Island Community with free nutrition education and culinary resources via the Whidbey Nutrition website!

Before working with Whidbey Nutrition I was eating the same thing everyday and I felt terrible. Now I’m making flavorful meals for myself and I’ve already lost 10 pounds in 3 months! Of all the diets I’ve tried, this has been by far the easiest to use, the least restrictive, and has taught me the most about how my body works.

Alex and Charlotte have been wonderful assets on my nutrition journey. Not only have I lost weight, but more importantly I look much much better and have more mental clarity than I did before working this program. Plus they gave me a bunch of tasty and nutritious recipes that I've been trying out since I started. I recommend Whidbey Nutrition for anyone looking to improve their diet long term!
