Nutrition & Health – Fats tha Heal, Fats that Kill
With Briony Martens BSc ROHP
So many people see fats as the enemy, avoiding them like the plague, and not understanding the crucial role they play in our energy level, cognitive function, weight loss, immune function and heart health, just to name a few! In this lecture we will explore the truth and uncover the myths about fats, and look into the different roles they play in our overall health and in the prevention of disease. Learn about which foods will supply your body with these "good fats" and promote optimal wellness for life.
Nutrition and the Environment – Facts & Flavours: Why Choose Organic?
With Preet Marwaha CEO
Everyday we are faced with choices regarding our food. Between green washing, savvy marketers and misleading labelling it is difficult to know who to believe and what is actually healthy. This lecture will clarify what it means for food to be organic and why this food system is something we should all begin to support. We will look at the importance of soil health and its direct connection to human health, organic certification, sustainable agriculture and current research to support the positive impacts of the organic market.
Nutrition Through the Lifespan – Allergies: Prevention & Treatment through Nutrition
With Dr. Jason Marr ND
For many people, allergies are a part of everyday life. We often mask, or hide, these symptoms so that we can go about our everyday lives and function without discomfort. Too often though, we forget to ask the question "why?" of our symptoms, or what’s going on in and around us. Allergies are a symptom that the body is struggling to detoxify, or eliminate toxins from our body. The foods that we put into our body, and the functions of our digestive tract, are sources of the inflammatory processes that may predispose us to allergies.
In this session, we will explore the process that underlies the symptoms of allergies – inflammation; provide you with the framework and tools that will allow you consider; address allergies from their root cause or mitigate their severity by nutritional means, and identify the triggers that initiate this process for each of us as individuals.
