Second Saturday Food for Life Class: Let's Beat Breast Cancer (+ all Cancers)!

Click Here to Register

October is PINK for Let’s Beat Breast Cancer. Yes, Let’s. Cancer in general, and breast cancer included has exploded in our society and brings along with it wonders: how, why, what to do. Is soy helpful or dangerous!? While food alone is neither the cause nor the treatment, it is immensely empowering, fascinating, and awe-some reading through the latest evidence-based medical studies on the clear and unbelievably strong power of plants in the prevention and survival of cancer— the specific foods that seem to spur or attack breast cancer (a hormonal cancer). Let’s be awed together, discussing and enjoying the tastes of the food prepared.

Let’s learn how to love our heart ASAP through becoming empowered with the latest evidenced based medical information and the practical skillsets on what it takes to do so, cooking and eating! Our bodies were created to heal, let’s be helpers and not hinderers! Looking forward to learning, wondering, discussing and making change together.

If you need financial assistance to join the class please use the contact form (not the email address) to reach me found on this page so we can be sure you can attend.
