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. About Your Instructor: Cindy Thompson is a retired 20-year fire captain and paramedic, creator of Trimazing! Health and Lifestyle coaching. Ten years ago, she was overweight and unhealthy. After changing her way of eating, she dropped 60 lbs., seven pant sizes, and lowered her cholesterol and blood pressure in just the first year. And she’s maintained this for a decade without dieting or deprivation. Cindy is now a licensed Food for Life Instructor, certified Health Coach, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Peer Fitness Trainer, and a licensed paramedic. She loves helping people meet their health and fitness goals. [Trī-māz-ing]: three times better than amazing

6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This 7-week Food for Life class is based on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s successful 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program.

For some people, it’s the first time the idea of not restricting amounts of foods but rather choosing the right foods has been the guiding principle for losing weight and staying healthy. The revelation is bolstered with clinical benefits such as lower cholesterol, better diabetes control, and lower blood pressure, as well as improvements in energy and mood. This class series will provide plant-based education, cooking demos, and resources to take home.

We will review the latest science behind this approach, consider some simple ideas for getting started, sample four dishes, and explore useful resources. This class will provide a short video about how foods can fight diabetes from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a presentation on plant-based tips for success, and a plant-based cooking demo with samples.

Individual classes are $25 or get a discount by signing up for the whole series for $100. Classes will be held online via Zoom. 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.

Your Body in Balance: Balance Your Hormones, Regain Your Life! - Online
February 5, 2023
5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. PT / 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. CT / 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET This set of classes will address hormone-related issues in both men and women. Dietary choices have a surprisingly powerful effect on hormones. The information provided will explain the latest research and offer a new approach to treating, preventing, and even curing many of the most common hormonal imbalances. Each class will include easy and delicious recipes and cooking demonstrations. Register for one, two, or all five classes. Individual classes are $25 or get a discount by signing up for the whole series for $100. Classes will be held online via Zoom. 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. About Your Instructor: Cindy Thompson is a retired 20-year fire captain and paramedic, creator of Trimazing! Health and Lifestyle coaching. Ten years ago, she was overweight and unhealthy.

This amounts to 1.5 million people being diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. each year, and cancer causing nearly one-quarter of all deaths. Research has shown that more than one-third of all cancer deaths in the U.S. are due to poor diet, yet most are unaware of the connection. Faced with these startling statistics, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine developed this curriculum to offer a new direction in battling this disease. The classes include information about how certain foods and nutrients work to promote or discourage cancer growth, along with demonstrations of simple recipes that can be easily re-created at home.

Doctors For Nutrition warmly invites you to join us at this exciting event which aims to connect health professionals from Australia, New Zealand and beyond to learn from the world’s experts in whole-foods, plant-based (WFPB) nutrition. This in-person and virtual conference will showcase both the long-established and the latest research on the leading lifestyle factor that influences health outcomes — our diet. Learn how to optimize WFPB nutrition as a powerful tool in disease prevention and care. Our region faces a growing epidemic of chronic, noncommunicable diseases and poor nutrition is a leading driver. Despite this, there is a deficit in nutrition education across the healthcare sector. Together we can change this. Topics to be covered include: brain health, gut health, heart health, hormonal health, skin conditions, cancer, Type 2 diabetes, weight management, and food systems and the environment. Enjoy a WFPB cooking class. Outside of the main program there will be opportunities for Q&A, networking, and moving your body. All delegates are invited to a welcome reception with canapes and an optional conference dinner. An entirely WFPB menu will keep you fueled throughout the weekend. Healthcare professionals will be provided with a certificate that may be used to self-claim CPD points, subject to rules of professional bodies.

This amounts to 1.5 million people being diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. each year, and cancer causing nearly one-quarter of all deaths. Research has shown that more than one-third of all cancer deaths in the U.S. are due to poor diet, yet most are unaware of the connection. Faced with these startling statistics, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine developed this curriculum to offer a new direction in battling this disease. The classes include information about how certain foods and nutrients work to promote or discourage cancer growth, along with demonstrations of simple recipes that can be easily re-created at home.

Kickstart Your Health - Princeton, WV

Princeton,
WV
24739
United States
6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This 7-week Food for Life class is based on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s successful 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program. Depending on one’s perspective, the Kickstart is about losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight, or simply embracing an overall healthful diet. Much of the basis of the Kickstart is about making a qualitative shift in the way we eat as opposed to a quantitative shift. For some people, it’s the first time the idea of not restricting amounts of foods but rather choosing the right foods has been the guiding principle for losing weight and staying healthy. The revelation is bolstered with clinical benefits such as lower cholesterol, better diabetes control, and lower blood pressure, as well as improvements in energy and mood. This class series will provide plant-based education, cooking demos, and resources to take home.

Food for Life: The Power of Food for Cancer Prevention and Survival - Online
March 5, 2023
10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET More than four decades ago, the U.S. declared a "war on cancer," yet current statistics predict that during our lifetime, one in two men and one in three women will develop cancer. This amounts to 1.5 million people being diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. each year, and cancer causing nearly one-quarter of all deaths. Research has shown that more than one-third of all cancer deaths in the U.S. are due to poor diet, yet most are unaware of the connection. Faced with these startling statistics, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine developed this curriculum to offer a new direction in battling this disease. The classes include information about how certain foods and nutrients work to promote or discourage cancer growth, along with demonstrations of simple recipes that can be easily re-created at home.

If so, don't lose heart, as I am here to help you get back on track. Overweight and obesity affect the majority of the U.S. population, increasing the risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease and taking a disproportionate toll on the underserved population. Illness is a cause for falling into poverty. However, improved lifestyle choices, especially dietary, can help the body heal from various chronic diseases and save money at the same time. Switching to a low-fat, plant-based diet means eating the right foods instead of counting calories or measuring servings. I will show you how easy it is to prepare tasty and satiating plant-based meals without breaking the bank. In the process, you will spend less time at the grocery store and in the kitchen.

Food for Life Nutrition Classes - Hartbeespoort, South Africa
March 19, 2023
98 James St.
Hartbeespoort,
North West

South Africa
3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Join us for this four-part class series to learn more about good nutrition and healthy weight loss, based on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s successful 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program. Depending on one’s perspective, these classes are about losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight, or simply embracing an overall healthful way of eating. Much of the basis of the classes is about making a qualitative shift in the way we eat as opposed to a quantitative shift. For some people, it’s the first time the idea of not restricting amounts of foods but rather choosing the right foods has been the guiding principle for losing weight and staying healthy. The revelation is bolstered with clinical benefits such as lower cholesterol, better diabetes control, and lower blood pressure, as well as improvements in energy and mood. This curriculum will allow you to discover the world of health through general topics ranging from digestion to blood pressure. Results are likely to be immediate and impressive. You will also be able to enjoy tasting delicious plant-based food samples. Volunteers needed! If you're interested in helping out at this event, please contact phytolean@gmail.com.

Food for Life Cooking Demo Series: Healthy Basics - Online
March 19, 2023
1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. PT / 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT / 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET Are you frustrated or disappointed that you cannot keep up with your 2023 resolution for eating healthy? If so, don't lose heart, as I am here to help you get back on track. Overweight and obesity affect the majority of the U.S. population, increasing the risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease and taking a disproportionate toll on the underserved population. Illness is a cause for falling into poverty. However, improved lifestyle choices, especially dietary, can help the body heal from various chronic diseases and save money at the same time. Switching to a low-fat, plant-based diet means eating the right foods instead of counting calories or measuring servings. I will show you how easy it is to prepare tasty and satiating plant-based meals without breaking the bank. In the process, you will spend less time at the grocery store and in the kitchen. Volunteers needed! If you're interested in helping out at this event, please contact svedam@gmail.com.
Food for Life: Healthy Basics - Online
March 19, 2023
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. CT / 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET In this four-class series, you will learn the science behind good nutrition and at least 12 new recipes that are easy and delicious. March 19: The Power of Your Plate The first class will focus on general concepts behind healthful eating habits by providing the knowledge and resources for trying out a new way of eating. The Power Plate is a diagram that illustrates the essential food groups: vegetables, grains, legumes, and fruits. From these groups, you will be able to think about different foods and meals you can eat to best promote your health and the health of your family. March 26: How Foods Fight Diabetes The road to diabetes does not have to be a one-way street. There is reason for hope. People who eat plant-based meals are less likely to ever develop diabetes, and for those who have diabetes, plant-based meals can help to improve blood sugar levels and prevent complications. April 2: Foods for a Healthy Weight Eating plant-based is not a “diet” that leads to feeling hungry or deprived. Believe it or not, when you change the quality of your diet, you don’t need to think about counting calories or measuring portions. The focus is on quality not quantity. April 9: How Foods Fight Heart Disease Certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping people avoid heart disease, or if they already have heart disease, in reversing it. It takes a powerful diet to remove the hard plaque forming in the arterial walls after years of eating high-fat diets. But research has shown it can be done. This class will show you how.

Food for Life: Healthy Basics - Online
April 2, 2023
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. CT / 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET In this four-class series, you will learn the science behind good nutrition and at least 12 new recipes that are easy and delicious. March 19: The Power of Your Plate The first class will focus on general concepts behind healthful eating habits by providing the knowledge and resources for trying out a new way of eating. The Power Plate is a diagram that illustrates the essential food groups: vegetables, grains, legumes, and fruits. From these groups, you will be able to think about different foods and meals you can eat to best promote your health and the health of your family. March 26: How Foods Fight Diabetes The road to diabetes does not have to be a one-way street. There is reason for hope. People who eat plant-based meals are less likely to ever develop diabetes, and for those who have diabetes, plant-based meals can help to improve blood sugar levels and prevent complications. April 2: Foods for a Healthy Weight Eating plant-based is not a “diet” that leads to feeling hungry or deprived. Believe it or not, when you change the quality of your diet, you don’t need to think about counting calories or measuring portions. The focus is on quality not quantity. April 9: How Foods Fight Heart Disease Certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping people avoid heart disease, or if they already have heart disease, in reversing it. It takes a powerful diet to remove the hard plaque forming in the arterial walls after years of eating high-fat diets. But research has shown it can be done. This class will show you how.

For seven weeks, we’ll walk step-by-step through continued empowered learning with evidenced-based medical data and practical skills to take control of our health. We will create customized meals by examining your current favorites and creating similar replacements. We'll also gain a broad understanding of how our bodies respond to our food choices that will incorporate our heart (blood pressure, cholesterol), metabolic (diabetic or healthy), digestive, and energy levels. I so wish our family had known about this curriculum when we realized we needed to make dietary changes. Individual classes are $14 each, or the series is $50.

Worldwide Vegan Climate March 2023 - Cities Around the World
May 6, 2023
***This event was originally scheduled for April 16, 2022.*** Join us in marching for a sustainable, plant-based future free from the environmental devastation caused by animal agriculture. As part of this global day of action, we will champion the Plant Based Treaty, a first-of-its-kind international treaty that puts food systems at the forefront of combating the climate crisis. The Plant Based Treaty aims to: 1. Halt the widespread degradation of critical ecosystems caused by animal agriculture 2. Promote a shift to more healthy, sustainable, plant-based diets 3. Actively reverse damage done to planetary functions, ecosystem services, and biodiversity We will use this march to urge scientists, individuals, groups, businesses, and cities to endorse this call to action, in turn pressuring national governments to negotiate an international Plant Based Treaty. Why? Animal agriculture accounts for more greenhouse gas emissions than every mode of transportation on Earth combined. There is no way to achieve climate justice without addressing the cow in the room. Join the movement! Activists in more than 30 cities across the world have committed to hosting a Vegan Climate March in their community. Join the worldwide movement for a Plant Based Treaty by registering to lead a Vegan Climate March in your community today. Register to become a city organizer here: https://www.veganclimatemarch.org/contact Volunteers needed! If you're interested in helping out at this event, please contact kyle.luzynski@gmail.com.

Food for Life: Healthy Basics Series - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
October 3, 2023
900 Merivale Rd.
Ottawa,
Ontario
K1Z 5Z8
Canada
5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This four-class series presents health-promoting dietary strategies that are budget-friendly and accessible. Nutrition education components will help you to connect diet and disease outcomes while learning about easy-to-prepare plant-based recipes. You will take away knowledge and strategies that will help you to realize savings in the short- and long-term, both in terms of dollars saved and enhanced quality of life. Each class will feature a cooking demonstration with samples of delicious and health-promoting dishes, along with handouts of easy and affordable recipes you can prepare at home. Class 1: The Power of Your Plate The first class in this series will focus on general concepts behind healthful eating habits by providing the knowledge and resources for trying out a new way of eating. The Power Plate is a diagram that illustrates the essential food groups: vegetables, grains, legumes, and fruits. From these groups, you will be able to think about different foods and meals you can eat to best promote your health and the health of your family. Class 2: How Foods Fight Diabetes The road to diabetes does not have to be a one-way street. There is reason for hope. People who eat plant-based meals are less likely to ever develop diabetes, and for those who have diabetes, plant-based meals can help to improve blood sugar levels and prevent complications. Class 3: Foods for a Healthy Weight Eating plant-based is not a “diet” that leads to feeling hungry or deprived. Believe it or not, when you change the quality of your diet, you don’t need to think about counting calories or measuring portions.The focus is on quality not quantity. Class 4: How Foods Fight Heart Disease Certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping people avoid heart disease, or if they already have heart disease, in reversing it. It takes a powerful diet to actually remove the hard plaque forming in the arterial walls after years of eating high-fat diets. But research has shown it can be done. This class will show you how.

The Smell of Money Film Screening - Honolulu, HI
October 10, 2023
404 Kapahulu Ave.
Honolulu,
HI
96815
United States
5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. “The smell of money” — that’s what Big Pork calls the stench of pig waste in the air in eastern North Carolina, where much of the world’s bacon and barbecue is made. But to Elsie Herring and others who live near the state’s giant pig factories, the revolting odor is a call to battle against generations of injustice. When a corporate hog farm moves in — uninvited— on land her grandfather had purchased after claiming his freedom from slavery, Elsie Herring decides to fight back. But as her rural community becomes the epicenter of the pork industry’s explosion in America, Elsie’s struggle to save her family’s home and heritage turns into a battle against one of the world’s most powerful companies and its deadly pollution. After decades of intimidation and defeat, Elsie and her community team up with a gutsy small-town lawyer to take the world’s largest pork company to court. An epic, nine-year legal battle ensues, and the residents risk everything to reclaim their rights to clean air, pure water, and a life free from the stench of shit. A story about the power of love for one’s family and community triumphing over even the largest forces of injustice, The Smell of Money calls upon viewers to see the people behind what's on our plates, and to join the fight for a better future for us all. The event will include free vegan food samples offered by Badass Burgers. Try “pork” wontons with carrots, onion, scallions, and sweet chili sauce and jackfruit “pork” sliders with BBQ sauce and topped with Hawaiian-style cole slaw.

Believe it or not, when you change the quality of your diet, you don’t need to think about counting calories or measuring portions.The focus is on quality not quantity. Class 4: How Foods Fight Heart Disease Certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping people avoid heart disease, or if they already have heart disease, in reversing it. It takes a powerful diet to actually remove the hard plaque forming in the arterial walls after years of eating high-fat diets. But research has shown it can be done. This class will show you how.
