This program is about healthy nutrition and getting your mind and body in a state of harmony so you can function at your best.Â
Modern science shows that 95% of your body shape is due to the food you eat and not exercise. Unfortunately, next to the many ultra-processed foods, even many foods that are supossed to be healthy are not.Â
We all know that you are what you eat, but there's more than that because your food is actually your mood too. Science shows that less than half of the cells in the body are human. The rest belong to microorganisms that affect the health, mood and whether certain people respond better to certain medications. For example, gut bacteria produce hundreds of neurochemicals that the brain uses to regulate basic physiological processes as well as mental processes such as learning, memory and mood. Gut bacteria manufacture about 95 percent of the body's supply of serotonin, which influences both mood and gastrointestinal activity.
Science shows that changing your nutrition is a powerful way to live longer, help the environment, and reduce your risk of getting sick. One of the most powerful steps you can take to improve your health, boost energy levels, and prevent and heal many diseases is to move to a whole foods plant-based diet. Â
There’s excellent scientific evidence that many chronic diseases can be prevented, controlled, or even reversed with a whole-foods plant-based diet. Scientific research highlighted in the landmark book The China Study shows that a plant-based diet can reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes, heart disease, certain types of cancer, and other major illnesses. Many people also report bigger fitness payoffs, more energy, reduced inflammation and better health outcomes after making the switch.
There are several major benefits to moving to plant-based nutrition, all supported by excellent science. These benefits include
EASY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT:  People who eat a plant-based diet tend to be leaner than those who don’t, and the diet makes it easy to lose weight and keep it off—without counting calories.
DISEASE PREVENTION: Whole-food, plant-based eating can prevent, halt, or even reverse chronic diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
A LIGHTER ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT: A plant-based diet places much less stress on the environment.
... It’s time to rethink your relationship with food...
It has been recognized for quite some time that, without behavior change, a diet is useless. Although we pay significant attention to studying diets to determine which is the most effective, we still come up with the same answer: they are all effective in the short term, and none is effective in the long term. Diets tend to focus on rules of eating (what to eat, how much to eat, and what not to eat), with the intended measurement of specific outcomes. These outcomes are most likely weight loss or, in the case of diabetes, improved blood glucose values and ultimately improved A1C. All diets have the potential of success or failure based on weight outcomes. People may know their outcomes are going to depend on their consumption and expenditure of calories and understand that this has to do with their behavior, but it is rare for individuals to sustain behavior change without seeing results on their outcomes. Their behavior change will be subject to daily stress and outside pressures and therefore difficult to sustain.
Dieting does not work. Exercise alone does not work. Starving yourself does not work. Instead,
Improve your health, release pain and stress and create a more embodied presence that’s caring and kind by joining this 90 days transformational program.

Content & Approach: ( 39 hours of live classes, 3 classes/week, unlimited group support, meal planning, tips and recipes)
MINDFUL EATING: Mindful eating is an approach to food that focuses on individuals' sensual awareness of the food and their experience of the food. It has little to do with calories, carbohydrates, fat, or protein. The purpose of mindful eating is not to lose weight, although it is highly likely that those who adopt this style of eating will lose weight. The intention is to help individuals savor the moment and the food and encourage their full presence for the eating experience.Â
Mindfulness is a process-oriented, rather than an outcome-driven, behavior. It is based on an individual’s experience of the moment. The individual focuses on appreciating the experience of food and is not concerned with restricting intake. The person eating chooses what and how much to consume. It is not coincidental that, within a mindful approach, the person’s choices often are to eat less, savor eating more, and select foods consistent with desirable health benefits.
MINDFUL BREATHING: Yoga is a preventive healing art, science and philosophy, by which we build up robust health in the body and mind and construct a defensive strength with which to counteract afflictions. Yoga involves a series of poses, also called postures, and emphasizes breathing techniques. The postures teach you to stretch and strengthen your muscles, which helps reduce muscular tension, build flexibility and strength, and improve balance and bone strength. A yoga session requires precise movement and mindful breathing. Its many mental and physical benefits have been confirmed by multiple studies: yoga postures (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation all work to help lower the blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol levels in the body, which in turn benefit the mind.
MINDFUL MOVEMENT: Qigong is a moving meditation exercise composed of soft, flowing bodyweight movements. The exercises date back nearly 3000 years to ancient China. The movements are designed to stimulate the acupuncture meridian and their associated organs to promote self-healing. The soft, slow, gentle movements of Qigong practice stimulate the body to increase muscular stability, flexibility and range of motion around all joints of the body. As with all meditation practices, Qigong has an incredibly calming effect on the central nervous system. As the mind, breath and body are connected to the moment, the parasympathetic nervous system is engaged and the brain releases all sorts of feel-good hormones, such as serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals act as our natural opiates, creating a relaxed state which fosters healing on the cellular level. With our opiates flowing, cortisol, which is the stress hormone of the body, naturally decreases.
GROUP COACHING AND TEAMS: Food and health are team sports; people gravitate toward the average of the people around them. For most, this is not good news. The GROW GOOD HABITS program places you in a group of people that can work together and support each other towards the same goals, every step of the way. This powerful framework helps you get the best results possible.
WORK WITH THE SIX HUMAN HUNGERS: Most people eat either far more or far less than they need, and often they do both. They eat too much of what they should and not enough of what they must. In this program, you’ll work with the SIX CORE HUMAN HUNGERS to help you interpret what your body is trying to tell you, and give it what it truly needs.
The GROW GOOD HABITS Program Requires No Special Foods: Healthier, organic foods can sometimes cost a bit more, but there are no special shakes or teas to purchase in order to complete this program. Through our classes, group support and self-observation you will gain a new awareness in your relationship with food and yourself which will lead to a fundamental change in your own body and your mental health.Â
