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.

LOCATION: Jacksonville Health and Wellness - 957 Moorings Dr #403
Jacksonville, FL 32257
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.

5 Secrets to Detoxing That Will Eliminate Your Addiction to Meat and Dairy
Join us for a special LIVE WEBINAR on Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 7 p.m. EST hosted by Dr. Jon Repole of Jacksonville Health and Wellness. Learn how to eliminate your addiction to meat and dairy with these 5 secrets to detoxing!
We live in a toxic world, and are exposed to 1000’s of pollutants on a daily basis. These toxic substances are everywhere and can include such things as the pesticides and hormones in our food, the fumes from traffic, and even toxic materials used to make computers, water bottles and phones. The number one source of toxicity, however, comes from animal based foods! Our bodies have a limited capacity for eliminating these toxins before dysfunction and breakdown begins and we begin to experience negative signs and symptoms like headaches, irritability, belly fat, mood swings, bloating, breakouts, fatigue, hypertension, and more.
