Healthy Living Series: To Cleanse, Lose Weight, or Find Food Sensitivities
This year, do your Spring Cleaning from the inside out!
Jump-start Healthy Living with this 6-week class -- you'll experience a nutritional program and other lifestyle factors that reconnect you with building your health. It's a great way to shake off winter sludge and rebuild your energy as we get ready for summer.
A group of 4-6 people is ready to start this program on Thursday April 14. I lead this program in-frequently these days, so don't miss this opportunity to join them! There are up to 3, but no more than 5, spaces remaining.
Why particpate in the Healthy Living series? People generally do this program for one (or more) of 3 reasons, which overlap significantly:
They suspect food sensitivities - they have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, frequent symptoms after eating, or have been told that their other symptoms may have a food component (see sidebar).
As a basic environmental detox. Exposure to everyday chemicals including first- or secondhand smoke, pesticides in our food, chlorine and pharmaceuticals in our water, and industrial pollution in our air, puts our health at risk. The American Cancer Society estimates that 75% of cancers are due to environmental exposures. While the mild-moderate whole-body Cleanse undertaken in this Detox will not eliminate our risks, we can improve our odds, by activating and tuning up our body's innate detoxification systems.
Often people want to lose weight, and need some guidance in how to structure a lifetime healthy nutritional program. However, in my mind weight loss is not the primary purpose of this program. Improving health and wellness is a primary goal; often settling on a healthier weight comes along with this. There is no guarantee of weight loss. [Note, if you are underweight or ideal weight, there are strategies to avoid losing weight on this program.]
What's the general format?
We meet for 6 sessions at my office.
Session 1 (Spring Detox: An Overview) is a standalone session, taking place on April 14 @ 7pm, that can be done on its own just for informational purposes; you must attend this intro if you intend to join the Series.
What is it?
After preparing, we implement a 4-week low-allergenic low-inflammatory nutritional program, incorporating optional supportive supplements and herbs, that will introduce you to a sensory experience of WELLNESS! The program involves education and experience with whole-foods nutrition, including philosophy, lecture, and starter recipes. Think you already eat a healthy diet? That's what lots of people with symptoms like to tell me. If something's not working for you, your body will holler at you. Symptoms are the language of the body, communicating to you that something is wrong.
Why a Group program? A group program is an excellent way to give and get support, as together we implement healthy lifestyle change.
How Much? Assuming a group of a minimum of 7 participants, the cost is $200 for class tuition plus whatever you choose to order in the way of supplements to augment the purpose of the program. We go over your options (including no supplements) at the first session. Smaller groups involve a proporionately higher tuition. Please contact me for details.
To attend only the overview session on 4/14 costs $20, which is applicable to the Series should you choose to join.
How Do I Sign Up? Contact me ASAP to RSVP for the 4/14 event. Space is definitely limited.
