Workshops
The Sugar Blues Workshop
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. To read testimonials from

Holly Noonan draws on a background of sugar addiction and health challenges.
Her health challenges began while she was traveling in Asia with numerous
gastrointestinal adventures. This led to years of repressed immune function
and a steep learning curve about healing with food. She believes that
wellness isn’t just the absence of disease, but having vibrancy, clarity and
resilience.

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.
Holly Noonan runs a nutrition counseling business in Camden that focuses on
introducing people to new and interesting nutrient-dense foods, overcoming
emotional eating challenges and encouraging a “caveat emptor” approach to
nourishing yourself in today’s food economy.

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.
