Learning Opportunities

Overview
  • A WFPB lifestyle aims to maximize consumption of nutrient dense plant foods while minimizing process foods, oils, and animal foods (including dairy products and eggs). It encourages lots of vegetables (cooked or raw), fruits, beans, peas, lentils, soybeans, seeds and nuts (in small amounts) and is generally low in fat.
  • Research shows that plant-based diets are cost-effective, low risk intervention that may lower blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels as well as increase Weight loss and reverse many chronic diseases (diabetes II, high blood pressure, heart disease, certain cancers and autoimmune diseases) as well as reduce the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases and lower heart disease mortality rates.

There is a global pandemic of excess weight and body fat that fosters disability and death and significantly increases the consequences of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, and cancer. This debilitating increase in weight and body fat is promoted by the dangerous agendas of misinformed individuals, greedy food conglomerates, and governments that sanction carbohydrate-restricted diets and addictive ultra-processed and animal-derived foods. Free yourself from the failures of short-sighted, quick-fix, fad diets, risky expensive drugs, and mutilating surgeries that compromise your health future.

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.

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.

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.

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.
