GlutenDO YOU EXPERIENCE:
-Chronic Pain? -Arthritis? -Depression? -Inflammation? -Colds? - Unexplained Nausea? -Autoimmune Disease? -Thyroid Disease? -Abdominal Cramping? -Diarrhea to Constipation?
Discuss this and more ...Gluten sensitivity affects more than 40% of the population and may be the underlying cause to countless ailments from joint inflammation to ADHD. 90% of people with an inflammatory disease like Arthritis and autoimmune diseases like Asthma and Lupus are gluten-intolerant. Due to manipulation of wheat crops, there is over 50% more gluten found in today’s grain than 100 years ago. Gluten intolerance does not only cause digestive ailments. In fact, for every one person with digestive related symptoms, there are at least 7 others without a single digestive upset but they are still gluten-intolerant with different, seemingly unrelated symptoms. During this PowerPoint presentation on the Science Behind Gluten, you will learn what happens when you eat gluten and how many people it affects negatively. Ask questions throughout! This class is so big, I must break it into three parts. I also offer a 21-days to Living Gluten-free Coaching Program for those who want more guidance.

And too high of blood sugar can inhibit your body's ability to fend off everyday invaders? Do you realize that by eating seasonally available foods, your body is provided the key nutrients it needs to support immunity. Everyone's immune system is different. Some people never seem to get infections, whereas others seem to be sick all the time. There are things that you can do to protect and strengthen your immune system during periods of illness or in the face of chronic disease. The three areas that are most important in protecting and bolstering the immune system are diet and nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction. Learn this and so much more during this powerpoint presentation and discussion.
Detox & EliminationThese two subjects cannot be taught separately as one directly supports the other. During this class, we discuss a subject you may NOT like to talk about: elimination, fiber and how closely related the bathroom is to your energy levels! So leave it to me... I'll do all the talking about how important your elimination system is to your body's detoxification pathways of liver, kidneys, intestines, skin and lungs. Acne, achy joints, constipation, fatigue, depression and so many more symptoms you might be accustomed to, might suggest the need for detoxification. Through these daily techniques and weekly foods, you can increase your fiber content and promote easy, daily detox.
AdrenalsWe are constantly bombarded with stress that we’re aware of, such as finances and relationship; but did you realize the stress your body is under from routine activities such as eating a cooked meal or watching television while eating with your family? Our chemical and sugar-laden diets keep our adrenals over-worked and once they’ve reached a state of fatigue, they require great nutritional support to come back up. During this PowerPoint presentation and Q&A, you will learn how your adrenals function and explore the many components of support found in food. Ask questions throughout! Includes recipes and handouts.

All You Need to Know About Eating a Plant-based Diet
Is a plant-based diet the best way to eat? According to US News, it very well might be:
"Roughly 370 million people are living with diabetes, and according to the International Diabetes Federation, that number is expected to soar upwards of 550 million by 2030. Type 2 diabetes is entirely preventable, and plenty of research suggests a plant-based diet can help ward off the disease." "Harvard School of Public Health, suggests a diet loaded with fruits and veggies can lower blood pressure. About 1 in 3 American adults suffers from high blood pressure, meaning they're at higher risk for heart disease and stroke--two leading causes of death in the United States." “Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” -Albert Einstein Have you come to realize that eating a plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat but you're concerned about getting enough protein, calcium, B-12 and other essential nutrients readily available from animal sources? During this Eating for Healing class, we will discuss evidence-based nutritional data on the plant-based diet including key nutrients, sources and how to get enough of what you need to thrive. Plus a bonus discussion on reading labels to help you understand where to begin on this journey of navigating the food-like products out there. InflammationInflammation is the body’s defense mechanism and the more we become aware of our bodies, the more we can learn from its subtle warnings before inflammation turns into pain, swelling, arthritis, candida, IBS, PMS, imbalanced pH, cancer and auto-immune disease like lupus. Inflammation is a sign that will present at the beginning of any ailment and by supporting your body’s response, you can maintain balance.

Vegetarian NutritionWhich of the following foods do NOT contain protein?
A) Chicken B) Orange C) Algae D) Almonds E) None The answer is E) None because they ALL contain protein.
