6 WEEKS TO NOURISH CLASS

This is an in-person class that will meet every Friday afternoon from 1:00 to 2:00 pm for 6 weeks.

This 6 week nutrition class is designed to gently transition you and your family to healthier eating patterns. You will learn which foods are helpful for disease prevention and which are harmful (based on science). More importantly, you will learn how to incorporate healing foods into your daily diet and how to prepare them at home. Each week will include cooking demonstrations, recipes, and tastings. At the completion of this class, you will be able to confidently cook healthful meals for your family that treat our chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart, disease, cancers, and autoimmune disease. This class is science based, so if you are confused about all the conflicting food and nutrition information out there, then please sign up for this because it is the real deal. Make dietary changes at your own pace, but the goal is to be fully transitioned to a whole food plant-based diet within 6 weeks.

The first class will be from 1- 2:30.

Taught by Dr. Lori Carnsew

Each week will be a different lesson plan from a board certified Plant-Based Physician.
