About this event

  • 2 hours

More people every year are diagnosed with autoimmune disorders than heart disease, cancer, and diabetes combined. Over 40 years ago, autoimmune conditions began to increase. Human genetics have not really changed in those short decades, but our food system has shifted drastically over the last 50 years, and not for the better. Whitney, our Functional Nutritionist, and Chef Crystal Barto are back to discuss the impact that food has on our immune health, especially autoimmune conditions, how to begin healing through food, and how to give your body what it needs to repair and protect against autoimmunity. They will discuss effective principles from various immune supportive diets and Chef Crystal will demonstrate preparing healthful recipes, share meal prep tips and techniques, along with delicious samples of recipes that are included with the class. If you or a loved one suffer from any of the 100 Autoimmune conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Psoriasis, Sjogren's, Lupus, and so many more, be sure to join us for a wonderful evening of learning about food as medicine!!
