Event Details

A whole food plant-based lifestyle is the longest studied and most scientifically proven way to obtain optimal health. It can help improve your immune system, weight, mental health, and energy levels as well as fight heart disease, diabetes type 2, and even cancers. Learning how to add more of these foods to your lifestyle every day — while still eating your favorites with just a few tasty substitutions — can lead you to a successful long-term health journey. I share powerful information that we all need to be aware of and make health simple and enjoyable.  In this class, participants will learn:


· The challenges we face and why we need to empower ourselves to protect our body and mind
· The comparison in nutrition benefits and risks between animal and processed foods vs. plant-based whole foods
· Top reasons to eat more plant-based whole foods daily
· Healthy substitutions for all your favorite meals and snacks
· Simple and cost-efficient meal and snack prepping
· How to easily begin this lifestyle
