  • Highs and unfortunate lows of metabolism
  • Dietary links between diet, aging, and disease
  • Processed foods vs. fresh and/or organic foods
  • How to read food labels
  • How to determine and cope with food allergies and intolerances
  • Blood types and how it affects your body's digestion
  • Common "diets" and why they work or don't work
  • Sugar Blues and why it's called that!

  • That huge emotional attachment that we have to food and how to free yourself

There will be specific detail to the foods, which create higher levels of lactic acid and other metabolic wastes in the muscles, and the benefits of hydration (especially with electrolytes). We will have current information on determining and selecting vitamins and supplements, and an introduction to muscle testing for dietary weaknesses. Additional costs for snacks is approximately $5; if part of the class encompasses a full day, a group lunch will also be included for an additional cost of approximately $15.
