Join us for this two-part Nutrition for the Herbalist Series!

Fri., Sept. 5 @ 6 pm
Tricia Streit Perez, MS - a Western perspective

In this class, you'll explore the essentials of nutrition from a Western Herbalist's perspective. Learn about macronutrients—proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—and discover the best food sources for each. Gain insight into how different foods can help manage specific conditions, from boosting iron levels to easing constipation. We'll break down the roles of vitamins and minerals, and how they support overall health. Additionally, you’ll receive easy-to-understand explanations of popular dietary approaches like the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), anti-inflammatory diets, and the Low FODMAP diet, all tailored to enhance your herbal practices.

Fri., Sept. 12 @ 6 pm
