“Low carb, low sugar, no sugar” has been the common wisdom to prevent or manage diabetes, however the latest evidenced based medical literature is showcasing a much more intricate interaction between what we eat and how our body functions with metabolic health at the core of our overall health. It is fascinating what our liver and kidneys do and how they react to each meal of the day according to our meal choices. It is empowering what we can do in our daily life that can make a life-changing difference between forever medicine with side effects, and health and vitality side effect free. In our class we’ll be treated to a short lecture by Dr. Neal Barnard from George Washington University, we’ll discuss and reflect together, and then enjoy a cooking demonstration of 3 practical recipes for getting started. You will receive recipes, PCRM literature on the topic and other helpful documents to keep.

October is PINK for Let’s Beat Breast Cancer. Yes, Let’s. Cancer in general, and breast cancer included has exploded in our society and brings along with it wonders: how, why, what to do. Is soy helpful or dangerous!? While food alone is neither the cause nor the treatment, it is immensely empowering, fascinating, and awe-some reading through the latest evidence-based medical studies on the clear and unbelievably strong power of plants in the prevention and survival of cancer— the specific foods that seem to spur or attack breast cancer (a hormonal cancer). Let’s be awed together, discussing and enjoying the tastes of the food prepared.
