Unlocking the Nutritional Benefits of Gratitude
April 4th
6pm EST
Gratitude has been shown to increase psychological wellbeing by helping us focus on the positive in our lives. What if we took this practice and applied it to our diets - do the benefits extend? This class explores the research behind gratitude, a case for incorporating into mealtimes, and a framework for incorporating it into your eating habits from food shopping, to cooking, to eating.
Recalibrating Your Food Vocabulary
April 11th
6 pm EST
This class is all about the language we use when it comes to food which can be one of the clearest indicators of the state of our food relationship.
Join to explore the origins of the many unhelpful ingrained phrases in our collective food vocabulary and how these learned terms and phrases impact our food relationship. We’ll also identify strategies for recalibrating your food language and set the foundation for a new way of communicating about food, eating, and nourishment that inspires and liberates.
Social Media and
Diet Influencing
April 18th
6pm EST
In general, more time on social media has been associated with increased symptoms of depression, feelings of social isolation, anxiety and sleep disturbance. These feelings indirectly can affect our diet, but social media use can have more direct impacts too...
The content we view on social media becomes a part of our foodscape - it’s just as much a part of our food environment as the grocery stores in our neighborhood. And, of course, our food environment informs our food behaviors, which means that social media is affecting how we eat, how we think about food, and how we feel about ourselves as it relates to our diets. It’s pervasive and, for many of us, it can be unhealthy.
Creating Dietary Harmony
April 25th
6pm EST
Figuring out what to eat, when to eat, how to eat, and how much can lead to stress and anxiety. Who needs more stress in their lives?! This class is focused on holistic nutrition, building your dietary intuition, and replacing the tension that so many of us have come to accept in our food relationship with a sense of joy and harmony.
