There is so much confusion today regarding our food choices. It seems as if a new dietary program or regimen is introduced to the public on a weekly basis. Books are written by M.D.s, scientists, and nutritionists all claiming authority on our nutritional practices.
In this lecture, we will talk about the optimal diet for our health, environment, and planetary evolution while debunking the common myths surrounding a plant based diet. We will tackle controversial topics such as:
Where should we get our protein?
Are dairy products healthy? Is the ancestral paleolithic diet healthy? Can we get calcium if we do not drink milk or include dairy products into our diet?Is soy healthy? Call (904) 268-6568 to register. Or register by clicking here.

Come to this amazing workshop that will cover such topics like:
- What is the difference between the laboratory listed reference range (on your blood work) and an optimal or functional range?
- How to talk with your physician and obtain the most cutting edge testing available- what are the most important bio-markers for heart disease? (HINT – It is NOT cholesterol)
- What are the most important bio-markers for cancer prevention?
- What are the most important bio-markers for diabetes prevention?
- What vitamins should I specifically monitor if I am vegan? vegetarian? or somewhere in between?
- How to identify if you are really anemic or Vitamin B12 deficient.
- Latest research on plant based nutrition in relation to blood bio-markers.
- Why blood work? It offers a safe and effective way of providing you with objective data about how your body is functioning at a particular moment in time. If read from a functional perspective rather than a pathological perspective it can provide you with a baseline to follow your trajectory towards optimal health or disease progression. It can empower you decision making rather than simply relying on your doctor’s interpretation which is often times based on the symptom/drug model of treatment.

MentorMe is Jacksonville’s free, volunteer-run mentoring program for anyone looking to transition to a plant-based or vegan lifestyle. This program was designed to bring ease to what can often be a challenging and overwhelming shift in lifestyle. The program was set up to help to solve a dilemma that was repeatedly witnessed: individuals motivated to change to a plant-based or vegan lifestyle for a plethora of reasons only to abandon it because they felt isolated, overwhelmed, and undereducated on how to make a healthy transition.
The program highlights the amazing benefits that come with being vegan through education on topics of health, animal rights, and environmental sustainability. The program includes a personal vegan mentor to counsel and guide you through the entire process for 1 month along with:
