A Healthy Thyroid — August 13, 6-8 pm

Are you or someone you love struggling with thyroid issues, or did your doctor tell you your thyroid levels are climbing/falling and you may need medication for it? Has all the information on what you should and shouldn’t eat while taking thyroid medication got you confused and frustrated? What about soy, gluten, coffee, and broccoli?

If this is you, then A Healthy Thyroid is what you’re looking for! This class will set you on the right foot for following a healthful diet to support your thyroid if you have a diagnosed thyroid disorder and reducing your risk of developing one.

Foods and Mood — August 20, 6-8 pm

We all know that a beautiful bowl of fresh berries can instantly brighten our day. But can food, like berries, do more for our overall mental health? Evidence is mounting that foods can help conquer moodiness and more serious problems such as anxiety and depression. Inflammatory foods can trigger chemical changes in our gut and brain and lead to stress and effect mood. But what are those inflammatory foods and how can we counteract them? We’ll discuss mood-boosting foods and create delicious meals to support your mind and body.

In this time of constant stress and anxiety from COVID, the political climate, and general unrest, there may be no better time to learn how to support ourselves and our families through nutritious food.

Avoiding Environmental Chemicals — August 27, 6-8 pm

This class builds off of all of the zero waste and environmental information I share in my weekly blog posts. Do you wonder if organic food matters and if it’s worth the cost to your grocery bill? What is the big deal with BPA? Phthalates? What are those, what’s the problem, and where are they found? We’ll cover all of these chemical exposures and how to avoid them. And like the other classes, we’ll have cooking demonstrations with the recipes, all of which avoid environmental chemicals.

This class can have a positively profound impact on the health of you and your family, especially kids.

Food for Fitness — September 24, 4-6 pm

Are you a runner, do Zumba or other fitness programs? A swimmer, lift weights, or a weekend warrior? Are you looking for optimal food to support your fitness and reach your athletic goals? Can a plant-based diet even support optimal fitness? Professional athletes, including Tom Brady, Venus Williams, Carl Lewis, Hannah Teter, Nate Diaz, and more follow a plant-based diet for a competitive advantage. A low-fat diet comprised of whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables provides the ideal fuel for any physical activity, from dancing, running, swimming, or any athletic activity you do! Even better, you’ll experience enhanced recovery with this way of eating, ready to hit the track, gym, or water with renewed strength and energy.

This was a gamechanger for me, taking me from an overweight, slow, and achy fire captain to an adult-onset athlete, fit enough to participate in Ironman triathlons! It completely changed my life. Learn how to make this happen and enjoy great food at the same time!
