Wholistic Food Options Classes

Conscious Choices in Eating 101, 102
Learn why each person has their OWN dietary needs. Find out what foods are potentially appropriate for you and your way of life. Explore the issues of emotional eating, familial eating patterns, addictive eating patterns and coping eating patterns. Learn to work with food in a friendly and individualistic manner.

To Eat or Not To Eat 101, 102
Once you realize how food affects your life, you can then learn to explore how the same foods affect you differently depending on what life activities you are engaged in. What is appropriate for a lazy Sunday afternoon is totally different from what you had for that long hike you took on Saturday. In Conscious Choices in Eating, you became conscious of how food affected you in your daily physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance. Now is the time to bring that consciousness to realization in learning to look at food as the real fuel for all that you chose to do.

Enzymes 101, 102
Enzymes are the spark of life. Without them, life would not exist. They are the workers that make your body function. Although the action of enzymes cannot be seen, it is the driving force behind virtually every biochemical process that occurs in the body. There are literally hundreds of thousands of enzymes active in every organ, tissue, and fluid, and each has its own function. Enzymes activate our muscles, stimulate our nerves, make our hearts beat, keep us breathing and even help us think. These complex biochemical substances are also able to convert nutrients from food to strong, healthy bodies.

There are three distinct types of enzymes: food enzymes which are contained in all raw food; digestive enzymes which are secreted by the body to digest food; metabolic enzymes which run other biochemical processes. If nay enzymes in your body are out of balance or lacking, the digestive system doesn’t work correctly any more. This is when acid reflux, indigestion, ulcers, irritable bowel and so much more happens. But really, even though you may not be aware of it, this is when ANYTHING can go out of balance (wrong) in the body – causing ill-health.

Through gentle palpation of the body and feet, the practitioner can determine the organ/systems that are out of balance and then educate you about the appropriate enzymes and food choices that will assist in bringing the body back into balance.

Enzymes 201, 202
After working with various case studies from the knowledge gained in Enzymes 101 and 102, you will focus on refining your palpation skills. Since being able to recognize the correct muscle tension and texture is the basis for a good evaluation, careful testing and questioning of the clients will be actively addressed in these classes.

Enzymes 300
Once the student is proficient in their palpation skills, it is essential to address the ability to correctly evaluate the information gathered. The day will be spent in careful review of all of the practicum case studies the students have done thus far - in group with their fellow students and under the supervision of the teacher.

Natural Sources of Vitamins and Minerals
Many times the stressors of living life cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the body. As Americans, we take too many multiple vitamins, minerals and other supplements- often times overdosing on these supposed health aids. The healthier way is to find natural options through food, herbs and natural additives to enhance the diet. Self-prescribing is also another challenge that is a common occurrence. You will find out how a supplement deficiency or overdose affects the body.

Re-creating the Kitchen
How many foods, staples, cooking utensils and implements are in your kitchen that you haven’t used for the past two years? If it has gotten that far and you haven’t done anything about it, it is time to empty all of your cabinets, clean out the refrigerator and freezer, and figure out how you really want to cook and eat! After taking Conscious Choices in Eating and To Eat or Not to Eat, you will now have the ability to eliminate wasted food and space in your kitchen and make it a healthy kitchen.

Nutrition Case Taking
Case taking skills are the foundation of any successful healthcare practice. Although these skills vary in each modality, in-take with nutrition is a bigger challenge than in other modalities. There are special forms and skills that are necessary to develop good rapport and acquire excellent background knowledge from your client.
