Ready for our next Digestion talk?? Not only is nutrition key for performance and aesthetics, but most importantly for your overall health and disease prevention. We want as many members as possible exposed to the hard work that Ken has put into to these nutrition talks…. Ken will graduate with a degree in dietetics in June and has a wealth of knowledge to share with the community. The second talk will cover blood sugar regulation.
This workshop will give you a good idea of what to eat, and why you should avoid sugar for more than just losing weight. Avoiding sugar will help every single organ and tissue in the body, including the outwardly visible ones like skin, hair, teeth, nails, etc.
There is a ton if valuable information in this talk, and Ken will do his best to squeeze it in the 45 minute time frame! Find out how to look and avoid hidden sugars, how much sugar we should be consuming and simple ways for keeping sugar out of your diet.
Cost is free with a suggested drop in fee of $15 or whatever you can afford. Come to bootcamp at 8:30 am, and stay for the talk. Or come to the talk, and then attend our Group Strength and Conditioning class after. The talk will be May 21st at 9:30 am.
There will be time for questions and open discussion at the end of each talk. Sign up here: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=45374&stype=-8&sView=day
A lot of you guys have been asking lots of questions about Nutrition lately! I think it’s so awesome how concerned and hungry you are to learn more about your health and personal nutrition. I hope you can take advantage of two free nutrition talks coming soon. They will be held between Saturday morning bootcamp and Group Strength and Conditioning, so you can workout and stay for the talk, or come to the talk and and then workout!
Not only is nutrition key for performance and aesthetics, but most importantly for your overall health and disease prevention. We want as many members as possible exposed to the hard work that Ken has put into to these nutrition talks…. Ken will graduate as a Nutritional Therapist in June and has a wealth of knowledge to share with the community. The first talk will cover the foundation of nutrition, digestion. You can eat all the healthy food in the world, but if you are not digesting properly, your health will suffer.
Basically, if digestion isn’t working, nothing else is working. You can’t lose weight, you can’t sleep well, you can’t get through the day without coffee, alcohol, tobacco, or sugar, etc. It’s the root of what’s making getting through the day so tough. Healing the gut will help you lose weight, have more energy, and feel better.
Digestion is important because without it we cannot receive nourishment for overall well-being.Every cell in every tissue in our bodies relies on proper digestion to get the nutrients they need. Without good digestion, we cannot have optimal health. This talk covers all of the ins and outs of digestion, including some easy ways you can help optimize your own digestion to ensure you are getting the most out of the food you eat.
The first talk will be Saturday, April 23rd at 9:30 am! Anyone from the community is welcome! You don’t have to be a member to participate.
Cost is free with a suggested drop in fee of $15 or whatever you can afford.
There will be time for questions and open discussion at the end of each talk.

The following “Dirty Dozen Plus” had the highest pesticide load, making them the most important to buy organic versions – or to grow them organically yourself:
Of the fruit and vegetable categories tested, the following “Clean 15” foods had the lowest pesticide load, and consequently are the safest conventionally grown crops to consume from the standpoint of pesticide contamination:
