Lectures Will Outline:
- The foods that most metabolisms prefer. This lecture outlines human evolution and foods that were present throughout. How dramatically the diet has changed in the last 10,000 years, 100 years and now in the last 10 years. What is the impact of this change on our metabolism and ability to detox? How do we return to a diet of generally supportive foods?
- What specific types of food cause the most harm to our metabolism and health overall? Are there ways of testing our sensitivity or intolerance to each? Are there forms of these foods that are better tolerated because of agricultural methods or food processing (ie: fermentation) techniques that enhance the nutritional value?
- How do we combine nutrition and exercise for favorable metabolism and an improved detoxification capacity? The combination is critical and this program will be experiential learning as participants will eat the best types of foods and will exercise the way that is essential for driving both metabolism and detox.
- How do we take this home? Introducing foods over time to identify what is working and what is hurting us. Create a smart, well-balanced, and manageable plan for building on the basic detox diet followed in this program.
