Nutrition

Food is the foundation of our health, energy and who we are. It is used as our building blocks and our most powerful preventative medicine. Our diets can promote longevity, deter cancer and accelerate healing.

We are the most overfed and undernourished.

Obesity has become a global epidemic and is linked to all the major causes of chronic illness and death in this country (cancer, heart disease, diabetes). It’s estimated that 40% of our society suffers from this disease and this number is expected to increase to 75% within the next decade. It’s become necessary to understand what causes this disease. By learning what ingredients in our food promote obesity and how to identify them will help us to make healthy, educated choices.

This course is designed to help participants identify their deficiencies, food allergies, addictions, and the control they have over us. This insight enables us to identify these issues in our clients as well, making it possible to offer another level of service to those looking for a healthier path. This course will also clarify the changes needed to attain a complete and well balanced diet and impart the importance of every vitamin, mineral and amino acid.

Discover how to choose the best foods for your body, lifestyle, family history and health goals.

We live in a new era of food; our markets are filled with cloned animals, hidden toxins and genetically modified organisms, making up 75% of processed foods. It’s become imperative to educate our selves in order to remain healthy and know what is needed to maintain and enhance our physical, mental and emotional bodies.
