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? 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 metabolism.
- 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 building on the basics followed in this program.
Testimonials from the Spring Metabolic Boot Camp 2015
“I want you to know that week literally changed my life and my family’s life as well. I came back and proposed that we all try this new way of eating for the month of May which we have. I bought a Ninja blender and am making smoothies every morning. We are cooking tons of vegetables (not 42 different ones per week but getting close!) and fish and have eliminated grains, dairy, and sugar. It has not been as much of challenge as I expected and we all feel much better. We’ve needed a new fridge for ages and buying all the produce prompted the purchase of a new fridge with more space which is fun. All in all you’ve changed the lives of four people who are far healthier than before. John was an inspirational teacher and I am grateful for his compassion and patience.” - Christine
“The lectures were so informative, non-threatening and inviting. The hands-on cooking classes were invaluable!!! Both yoga instructors were terrific. Loved the biking and hiking and the reminder of nurturing our earth, I loved starting each day with a smoothie. I loved that you made different versions each day . The meals were wonderful and more vegetables than I have eaten in my life! The Colors were so powerful that I could feel them in my body! Your ideas for leftovers; toppers and using salad dressing from soup was remarkable. I am defiantly going for making my own kimchi. It was such a blessing to have multi-generations here in this amazing facility! With love and thanks!” - Dianne Cogburn
