Kate Farms Story Kate Farms was created by Richard and Michelle Laver in order to save their daughter Kate, born with Cerebral Palsy and fed via a tube. Kate weighed only 16 pounds when she was almost 5 years old. They needed a solution quickly as she was failing to thrive. Kate’s parents, with support from her doctors and dietician, went to work and created what is now known as Kate Farms Komplete. Kate is now 9 years old and thriving, having consumed 4-5 Kate Farms Kompletes per day for the last 4 years. More and more patients are being prescribed Komplete as part of their nutritional program, and responses pour into Kate Farms telling the stories of how Komplete is impacting their lives and those who are caring for their loved ones. Kate Farms has helped thousands of people with health issues and is now available and covered by insurance for others who are enteral feeding. Check with your doctor or dietician to see if Kate Farms Komplete is right for you.
• A meal replacement shake should include calories composed of appropriate percentages of carbohydrates, fat and protein. Institute of Medcine (www.iom.edu) reports that adults should get 45-65% of calories from carbs, 20-35% from fat, and 10-35% from protein. • Hypoallergenic items contain relatively few or no potentially irritating substances.
