Kickstart Your Health

This class provides the initial steps for launching or building a low-fat, plant-based diet. Once you decide to make lifestyle changes, where to begin can be overwhelming. This class is about getting ready by considering the key factors of what's involved: menu planning, recipes, groceries, lifestyle changes, and more. 

Based on the successful 21-Day Vegan Kickstart book and The Power Foods Diet by Dr. Neil Barnard, MD, founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), this class sets the stage to guide participants on a plant-based journey. For some, this may be the first time food choice is prioritized over restricting food amounts (calories) as a guiding principle supporting long-term health. 

This is a lifesaving learning experience about fighting chronic disease, bolstered by delicious plant-based recipes that help to lower cholesterol, control diabetes, lower blood pressure, and even boost energy and mood. The class features a cooking demonstration and resources, including easy, affordable recipes participants can prepare at home.
