Upcoming Events

Tuesday June 23rd, Total Health Alliance, 6:30-8pm
Sugar Blues
The presentation focuses on sugar in our modern diet, what forms it takes
and how long it has been there. Does that fudge recipe from your
great-grandmother make fudge an ancestral food? The discussion examines how
sugar affects you, your energy and your moods. Is it addictive? Are
artificial sweeteners a safe alternative? Learn about which sweeteners to
avoid and which ones to try. Looks across cultures and back into history to
put our sugar habits into historical context. This workshop encourages
lively discussion and questions from participants.

Wednesday June 24th, 9:00am– Join me at Fresh Off The Farm for a tour covering marketing claims, label reading, organics and your specific questions. These tours are part of my clients’ programs, but are open to the public, space permitting. RSVP here if you’d like to join. Attendees receive a 10% discount on purchases of $50 or more!

Saturday August 1st, Total Health Alliance, 10am-2pm
The Context of our Food Series
A powerful mini-course with two popular workshops back to back in one day with a lunch break in between:

1) The Ancestral Food Workshop

This is a nutrition workshop that illuminates our current food trends by
placing them in historical context. It has been said that our food has
changed more in the last 30 years than in the previous 30,000 years.
In what ways has it changed? Are our bodies having a hard time
keeping up? What were the traditional foods passed down in your family and
how far back does the tradition go? Has the recent globalization of our food
supply affected your family? This workshop introduces some ancestral food
recipes and tells you where to get the ingredients locally.

2) The World Food Workshop

This is a nutrition workshop that illuminates our current food trends by
placing them in international context. Take a peek inside the kitchens of
families in ten foreign countries with a powerpoint slideshow to see what
they eat and what it looks like. These families and their countries are in
various stages of “modernization.” How much food comes in packages? How much
is refined or imported vs. fresh and local? How much meat do they eat? How
much sugar? What oil do they use for cooking? Do a little armchair traveling
around the world to explore our world’s foodscape, and then bring it home to
your kitchen. This workshop introduces some exotic food recipes and tells
you where to get the ingredients locally.

If you would like to book a date to have me do a workshop for your group, contact me. I love to do them.
