New Plant Based Cooking Class Added



THRIVING ON PLANTS SUPPORT GROUP

Thriving on Plants is an informal support group of people who are eating a Whole Foods plant-based diet or for those who want to learn about this lifestyle which provides maximum benefits for health. Bob Spahle leads discussions and demonstrates techniques for preparing and cooking healthy plant foods and providing samples of the delicious food he prepares. Recipes are shared.

Education topics include eating for weight loss, how to gain control of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and many other lifestyle diseases. Other diets are also discussed. Videos by leading experts in these fields are shown with discussions

Our instructor, Bob Spahle, also lost 80lbs and kept it off and was able to get off two medications.
