Sugar Awareness
Like many parents, you may worry about the amount of sugar your child gets from sugary drinks, snack foods and desserts.
Today most of the food in the grocery stores is processed with high amounts of sugar. If your kids are like mine, they often don’t want to hear the “effects of sugar on the body and mind” from mom and dad.
In this program, I cover the dangers of sugar and how to protect your family and reduce consumption.
In this sugar program you’ll will learn about:
- How much sugar we are consuming and how to recognize it on a food label.
- What is whole food vs processed foods.
- How processed foods are linked to increased sugar in our diet.
- Learn about the World Health Organization and the amount of sugar we should be consuming daily

- What artificial sweeteners are and how they affect the brain.
- Make a whole food shake that tastes delicious.
What’s on Your Plate?
For many parents trying to encourage their kids to make healthy food choices is often difficult. Sometimes kids don’t want to hear what mom and dad have to say and somehow their ears are more receptive to other adults.
During these fun, visual and informational sessions kids will learn about a variety of foods and how each different food plays a special role in supporting their body’s health and wellbeing.

Nutrition & The Environment
There was a time when the safest place on earth for a child… was home.
When our children played in their yards grown by nothing but the sun and the rain. When they ate nothing but the purest foods. Their toys were made by hand and their bedding was made from wool.
Children’s beds have changed…dioxane, xylenes, polymers.
Their toys are made with plastic…phthalates, bisphenol A
Food is no longer pure…food colors, preservatives, additives, aspartame, butylated hydroxytoluene.
Their yards are also different: acetic acid, dioxane, round up (glyphosate), propionic acid.
We breathe chemicals, absorb chemicals, through our skin and ingest chemicals. The good news is that small changes we make in our daily lives can make a big difference

- What is the Environmental working group
