Class topics and dates:
Tackling Hormone-Related Cancers – January 8, 2023
Certain cancers are significantly affected by hormones: breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer in women and prostate and testicular cancer in men. We can help regulate our hormones with the foods we eat. This class will focus on low-fat, high-fiber foods to reduce cancer risk and help enhance survival for those who have been diagnosed.
Reversing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – January 15, 2023
PCOS is caused by a slight excess of androgens. These extra hormones can cause irregular periods, skin changes, polycystic ovaries, and infertility. They can also change body fat patterns and reduce insulin sensitivity. This leads to rising blood sugars and sometimes diabetes. We’ll review the causes and symptoms of PCOS and diabetes and show how to combat them with healthful food choices.
Tackling Menopause – January 22, 2023
This class will focus on menopause as a natural part of life. We’ll review how to minimize or even avoid hot flashes, unpredictable emotions, changes in sexual function, and memory fog.
A Healthy Thyroid – January 29, 2023
The thyroid gland regulates our body’s use of energy. If it is not producing enough hormone, you will feel sluggish. Too much hormone and you feel revved up with a rapid heart rate and other symptoms. This class will set you on the right path for following a healthful diet to support your thyroid if you have a diagnosed thyroid disorder and reducing your risk of developing one.
Foods and Mood – February 5, 2023
Evidence suggests that foods can help conquer moodiness and more serious problems such as anxiety and depression. Inflammatory foods can trigger chemical changes in our gut and brain and lead to stress and affect mood. We’ll discuss mood-boosting foods and create delicious meals to support your mind and body.
