Man-Made Epidemic of Chronic Disease
Saturday, August 2nd at 11:00 a.m.
with Jeanne Schumacher, M.Ed, Ed.D
Founder: PlantBasedAcademy.Net
Overview: This lecture will explore the rising prevalence of chronic diseases across the globe, focusing on how human behaviors, lifestyle choices, and societal structures have contributed to this modern epidemic. It will discuss the complex interplay of factors such as diet, physical inactivity, and stress, which are shaping the chronic disease landscape.
Key Learning Objectives:
1) Understanding Chronic Diseases: Define chronic diseases and differentiate them from acute conditions. Explore common examples such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and respiratory diseases.
2) Human Influence: Discuss how human activities—ranging from diet choices (processed foods, sugar, unhealthy fats) to sedentary lifestyles (lack of exercise, screen time)—have contributed to the onset and escalation of these diseases.

Hear from Ann Marie...
I attended Jeanne’s class. It was eye opening! First, her recipes were great and easy and I can’t wait to try them. But most of all I had been researching on my own non toxic pots and pans and only came up with stainless steel, where most times you have to use oil. But going to this class, Jeanne introduced us all to other options!!! They are non stick and non toxic!!! I couldn’t be happier. Not many people look at the toxic side to pans, your skin, the environment, but Jeanne does.
It doesn’t get much better than that. I am looking forward to her next class. Ann Marie C.

"Jeanne's lecture on Foods that Build Your Vitamin Shield was fantastic. She was exceptionally concise and thorough and imparted new and useful information to support our steadfast commitment to a plant-based lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and we look forward to attending future classes you sponsor." Joe C.
Fran K shares...
I just attended Jeanne's class called "Foods That Shield You From Toxic Metals." I have been kicking around in the WFPB space for a couple of years and have listened to countless podcasts, watched countless videos, and purchased way too many cookbooks. All I can say is that because Jeanne has a background in chemistry and is also an educator, she brings a depth and clarity in her presentation you won't find anywhere else. Besides being friendly, informative, and kind, she herself has been on a healing journey and speaks from personal experience. She takes whatever the time needed to fully address questions; she isn't in this to be flashy, she is in it because she genuinely cares. I am looking forward to future classes!

Foods that Protect from Harmful Fats and Cholesterol: WF Plant Base Series
Blue zones are places where people enjoy good health as well as healthy brain functions well into old age. In all these places, people's food choices have one thing in common: they emphasize food from plant sources. The biggest source of saturated fat in the American diet is from dairy and meat products. Combining the saturated fat with metals aggravates the production of beta-amyloid in your brain cells. Zinc causes the beta-amyloid to come together and copper and iron make free radicals that destroy your brain cells.

Medicine and Health Conditions that Affect Memory: Whole Food Plant Based Series - Part 2 of 4 part
Power Food For the Brain Series: Learn to Prevent Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.
When anyone experiences any sort of memory problem, medication should be high on the list of suspects. Specific medications that can affect your memory include: cholesterol lowering drugs, sleep medications, antidepressant, antihistamines, anxiety medications, painkillers, blood pressure medications, and acid blockers. Some hidden medical problems that can affect your memory include: gluten intolerance, depression, menopause, thyroid hormone, lack of oxygen to the brain, infections, cancer treatments, and diabetes. If you notice any change in your mental function, a check of the medicine cabinet and a good medical evaluation hopefully will identify the cause so you can address it promptly.

An Alkaline Approach to Better Health
Effectively Balancing Your Body’s pH
The pH level (the acid-alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated within our bodies. All metabolic processes depend on a balanced internal alkaline environment. When the body is in a healthy alkaline balance, germs are unable to get a foothold. Over-acidification of the body is one of the underlying causes of all diseases. Learn how you can successfully begin and maintain an alkaline lifestyle. Get your health back!

Plant Pure Nation - Movie - Recipe Swap
Join us for a recipe swap and discussion based viewing of the movie Plant Pure Nation.
A growing number of celebrities, athletes, and nutrition experts have promoted a plant-based diet in the past few years. And tens of thousands of people have documented their personal success stories since adopting a plant-based diet. But as more doctors and public officials become aware of the healing power of plant-based nutrition the question arises: Why don’t they share the information with their patients or the public?
Join Nelson Campbell as he demonstrates that a whole foods plant-based diet leads to significant and measurable health improvements in just 10 days. He showcases that such a diet would be delicious, nutritious, easy to follow and indefinitely sustainable.

Forks Over Knives
Features leading experts in health such as Dr. T. Colin Campbell, co-author of the China Study and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, author of "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" among many other doctors and researchers. Campbell and Esselstyn both grew up on farms, believing that animal protein was healthy and necessary but soon changed their beliefs in the face of mounting scientific data.
We get a closer look at the careers of Campbell, Esselstyn, McDougall and co and how they all, independently from each other, came to the same conclusion: A whole food plant-based diet is the answer to obesity and can heal or even reverse the most common degenerative diseases of our society.
Along with the scientific explanations, Forks Over Knives also presents a couple of real-life case studies of people who not only lost great amounts of weight but also improved pretty much all areas of their health.

Along with the scientific explanations, Forks Over Knives also presents a couple of real-life case studies of people who not only lost great amounts of weight but also improved pretty much all areas of their health.

Hear from Ann Marie...
I attended Jeanne’s class. It was eye opening! First, her recipes were great and easy and I can’t wait to try them. But most of all I had been researching on my own non toxic pots and pans and only came up with stainless steel, where most times you have to use oil. But going to this class, Jeanne introduced us all to other options!!! They are non stick and non toxic!!! I couldn’t be happier. Not many people look at the toxic side to pans, your skin, the environment, but Jeanne does.
It doesn’t get much better than that. I am looking forward to her next class. Ann Marie C.

How Not to Die of Diabetes
Please bring a plant based snack to share (individual servings or wrapped).
From the book - How Not to Die - by Dr. Michael Gregor
Diabetes is characterized by chronically elevated levels of sugar in your blood either due to the pancreas not working or your body becomes resistant to insulin’s effects. It’s due to too much sugar building up in your blood. It can overwhelm the kidneys and spill into your urine. Diabetics can reduce their A1c levels to an average of 5.8 on average in 16 days.

Environmental Toxins in our Personal Care Products
Every day, we use soaps, lotions, deodorants, hair products and cosmetics on various parts of our bodies. But in recent years, an increasing number of reports have raised concerns about many of them.
Cosmetics and personal care products are notoriously under regulated. Companies often spruce up labels with words like “naturally derived,” “nontoxic” and “clean” — which sound good, but are basically just marketing terms. How is the average consumer supposed to sort through which chemicals might do them harm?
Learn about the problems, issues and some simple solutions.
