Eating Plant-Based for a Healthier Life

… and because plants are plentiful and delicious!

Instructor: Beth Perera with PositvelyPlants

• Knowledgeable in Plant-Based Nutrition, Diet & Lifestyle Intervention
• Former Food For Life instructor with Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
• Over 10 years of teaching experience

Beth ate everything until she experienced serious health issues. She read everything she could get her hands on and successfully reversed her painful conditions by switching to a plant-based diet over 11 years ago. Beth was amazed at how rapidly “food as medicine” worked and became passionate about teaching this information to others.

This 8-week course will focus on why and how to eat a whole-food, plant-based diet, covering heart health, type 2 diabetes, cancer prevention and survival, avoiding Alzheimer’s Disease, gut health-your microbiome/foods that boost immunity, and reaching an ideal natural weight without counting calories, carbs, portion control, without tracking points or worries about protein. Two optional classes will be documentary screenings (weeks 4 and 8).

Included will be discussion, short video segments from leading experts in this field, plus live cooking demonstrations with heavy sampling. Beth will share numerous books and other resources along the way. Classes are appropriate for teens & adults.
