Immune System Boost Workshop

Learn some healthy strategies and how to create positive sustainable choices. We will also talk about how the connection between your diet, lifestyle, and environment can be a basis for long term good health. And how certain nutrients need to be replete to boost your immune system.

Common food sensitivities are dairy and gluten like the cheese milk and bread pictured here

Food Allergy vs. Sensitivity Workshop

Learn how leaky gut and food sensitivities can cause an inflammatory cascade within your body. Find out the downstream effects of these inflammatory cascades and how they can cause other issues. Discover symptoms that you might not suspect are a result of these sensitivities and why it might be beneficial to test for food sensitivities. We will also discuss why adding or subtracting foods from your diet might be helpful in both resolving your symptoms and preventing other symptoms from occurring.

Functional Medicine and the Root Causes of Disease

The average American isn’t particularly good at taking care of themselves. Currently, 2 out of 3 Americans are considered to be overweight or obese. Only 1 in 3 adults gets the recommended amount of daily exercise.

And every year, 600 000 Americans die of heart disease.

Part of this problem has to do with our busy lifestyles, less than optimal environments, and a culture opposed to rest and relaxation.

In this class, Holli will take you through the process of thinking differently about "WHY" you may be feeling unwell or having annoying unwanted symptoms. She will help you identify "root causes of disease" and give you practical everyday solutions to help you heal.

What is it about Wheat and Gluten?

Making dietary changes can be difficult, which is why having support can be so beneficial. There are many reasons people choose to go gluten-free, the most common being to manage celiac disease, to reduce symptoms of gluten sensitivity or wheat allergy.

In this workshop, we will discuss the difference between celiac, gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy. We'll discuss what gluten is, the benefits of a gluten free diet, why the term 'gluten free' has been popping up everywhere these days, how you can reduce it and eventually avoid it in your own diet. We'll also talk about gluten free labels, flours, food swaps and why grain free is another option.

This workshop will help you feel encouraged to think positively and proactively about your health so you can take ownership of your life.

Your Healthiest You - a Holistic Approach

Reverse the root causes of dis-ease using education, nutrition and holistic intervention.

This has been proven to increase focus, improve energy levels and better sleep patterns and reverse chronic health issues. It also helps to decrease food cravings, manage stress, and maintain a healthy balance in all areas of life.

Raw and Living Foods

Proper nutrition is essential for good health. However, just choosing to eat nutritious foods may not be enough as it is important to also pay attention to how these foods are prepared. For example, the cooking of food can alter, and often destroy, the nutrients before we have the chance to ingest, absorb, or use any for our own bodies. Luckily, adopting a raw and living foods lifestyle avoids this crucial loss of nutrients and amplifies your health!

Learn how to discover how feasible and beneficial it is to ditch the heat and begin embracing the raw and living foods lifestyle! During this class, you will learn the disadvantages of cooking food and about yummy raw alternatives and ways to adopt this new surge of nutrition into your daily life.

How (and Why) to Ditch Dairy

Do you intuitively feel like dairy may be a trigger for you even though you have perfectly "normal" test results? Have you had symptoms such as: asthma, seasonal allergies, chronic sinus or respiratory infections, hormone imbalances, chronically loose stool, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

In this workshop, you will learn how dairy can contribute to your inflammation, why dairy can be a common food sensitivity, why you might benefit from 100% elimination and how to do it the right way. You will also get tips on how to cook delicious dairy free recipes. Discover how your life can be changed for the better!
