Vital Ways
A Journey in Medicinal Eating
3-Part Live Masterclass Series
MONDAYS @ 7:00 PM EST
SEPT 15th, 22nd , AND 29th
via ZOOM
Do you feel like your body is slowing down, your energy is slipping away, and no matter what you try, you just can’t seem to feel like yourself anymore?
Do you find yourself turning to food, sugar, or wine every time stress hits?
Have you seen friends or family diagnosed with cancer, diabetes, or dementia—and can’t help but wonder, “Am I next?”
Does it feel like the life you’re living isn’t sustainable anymore?
Are you stuck jumping from one diet or health
trend to the next, hoping this one will finally work?
Are you carrying worry, shame, or even regret—
wondering if your habits are quietly undermining
your ability to truly feel good & live the future you want?
Are you scared you're going to repeat the health struggles of your parents—or pass the same patterns to your children?
If you nodded yes to even one of these questions, you’re far from alone.
This is the reality so many people are living—mounting stress, hormonal shifts, creeping aches, and exhaustion that no amount of coffee can fix. Yet the quick fixes—fad diets, supplements, “miracle” hacks—never touch what’s really going on.
That’s because true vitality doesn’t come from another trend.
It comes from resetting your body and soul at the deepest level.
This isn’t just another nutrition class. It’s a soul-level reset.

Meredith Barrett
Meredith graduated from Penn State University in 2000 with a degree in Communications and went on to enjoy a 25-year career in corporate sales and marketing. Drawn to California for its progressive wellness culture and love of the outdoors, she spent nine years living out west before returning to the Pittsburgh area. Deeply inspired by her experiences, she earned her health coaching certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2019 and launched her wellness business, Nature’s Antidotes. She partnered with a licensed psychologist to support patients through nutritional and lifestyle shifts that promoted mental well-being.

Her mission is to make a meaningful impact by guiding others toward empowered, vibrant living.
Bar Vitalis, LLP
One beautiful day, two kindred spirits crossed paths—Meredith and Jeska—bonding over their shared passion for wellness, nourishment, and helping others heal. Both had overcome deep challenges and transformed their lives through mindful living and soulful nourishment. When Meredith said, “I have a dream of opening a sober bar and organic restaurant in Pittsburgh,” Jeska’s eyes lit up: “Oh my gosh, me too!” And just like that, Bar Vitalis was born.
But this isn’t just a bar or restaurant—it’s a movement. A space rooted in community, sustainability, and vitality. We invite YOU to be part of it—nurturing your own well-being while helping a collective of givers, growers, and thrivers flourish together.
