Let’s take a walk in history and on the “wild side” to uncover a fascinating journey as to plants’ origins and how to best incorporate into our modern day life. Part I will help us understand the roots and origins of our food supply and what changes have occurred which has greatly altered our nutritional intake. Patti will address how to utilize ancient foods and how to retain the beneficial nutrients in such foods. Part II will have us dive deeper into creating the best of top 10 foods to bring together the missing link to optimum health and vitality. 

Unlocking the Keys to EAT this WAY and FEEL That!
We know nutrition and what we eat can affect us greatly. However many of us haven’t made a good awareness link to Eat THIS, FEEL THAT and Perform like THIS. Can you eat for better sleep? Can you choose foods to maximize your energy midafternoon and minimize the fatigue dip? How about eat to calm nerves, alleviate jet lag and even build immune system resilience. Part 1 & II will explore all the links of great high performance eating to create the state you want for your day. 40% of the way you FEEL right now is due to your last meal. What IF we could think ahead-what do you have to do in the next 2 hours-you could design your eating!!
