Upcoming Schedule:
April 5 – Nutrition for Cognition
The brain is a control center for our body and is the mastermind behind how we move, feel, and think. Since our gut and brain are connected, what we eat can impact our memory, focus, and mood. This session will focus on using our plate to sharpen memory, aid in cognitive function as we age, and boost brain performance.
April 19 – A Plant Forward Approach to Building Your Plate
It’s no secret that the consumption of plant-based foods has ample health benefits. With so much conflicting information on this topic, many people are unsure of how to meet their nutrient requirements while approaching a plant-forward, plant-based, vegetarian, or vegan diet. This class will be applicable to omnivores, vegetarians, pescatarians, and vegans who are interested in incorporating more plant foods.
