Upcoming Schedule
September 3rd – Nutrition for Cognition: Food and Mood
The brain is a control center for our body, regulating our thoughts and emotions. Our gut and brain are interconnected, making our diet a key factor in influencing our mood. With this session, we will show you how to use your plate to make your gut happy, and in turn alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and promote a positive mood.
September 17th – Intuitive Eating Workshop
We are born with the inherent ability to be an intuitive eater, knowing when we’re hungry, what we want to eat, how much, and when we are full. As we are exposed to more external stimuli and social influences, we may slowly lose the ability to recognize what our body tells us and listen to those internal signals. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to get back in touch with what your body is telling you, learn more about what helps with hunger and fullness cues, and practice skills to re-engage with your inner intuitive eater.
October 1st – Preventing Diabetes
More than 100 million Americans have diabetes or pre-diabetes, and that number continues to climb annually. The good news is that diabetes is preventable. The first step in prevention is understanding the disease and how it progresses. We’ll help you understand the keys to managing healthy blood sugar and proactive strategies to prevent long-term health risks.
October 15th – Improving Immunity
Our immune system does a marvelous job defending us against viruses and bacteria, but to function well, it needs balance and harmony. We will focus on specific vitamins and minerals that play a significant role in immunity, and additional nutrition strategies that keep our immune systems running smoothly. Join us to learn proactive tips on what you can do to build up a strong and healthy immune system during the winter season!
October 29th – The Tricks to Treating
From jack o’lanterns to pumpkin spice, Halloween is often all about the sweets! In this class, we explore the world of sugar and offer advice on creating a healthier Halloween celebration, whether trick-or-treating with family, going out for a party, or enjoying a night in.
