It used to be easy to tell the difference between food and medicine, but now the line between the two is blurring. Scientists are taking note of how foods can aid in building the body’s vital systems in order to promote health and avoid disease. This innovative program will educate you about optimum nutrition using the latest therapeutic knowledge regarding plant-based foods, herbs and behavioral science. Diana will help you to apply the things you’ve learned in her class to develop a new healthier way of eating and living. You’ll also learn strategies for building a “medicine chest” in your kitchen and healthy shopping and cooking techniques. Diana’s MHT manual is provided with the program to augment your knowledge and skills.

Reframing Nutrition is a five-part class designed to give you a sound foundation of nutrition knowledge to enhance your understanding of how nutrients work with the body in building your immune system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system and muscular system. You’ll have a clearer understanding of how nutrients provide your cells with the fuel necessary to help build a healthier body.

Reframing Nutrition 1: Traveling Down the Metabolic Highway -- We’ll look at nutrients on their ‘metabolic highway’ in your body. You’ll learn how nutrients contribute to building the body’s systems. Are you fueling or fooling your body? You’ll learn why certain nutrients are considered more therapeutic (i.e.: facilitate weight loss, enhance energy and alertness, decrease bad cholesterol, improve circulation, decrease the aging of skin, etc) than others.

Reframing Nutrition 2: Carbohydrates Demystified -- Carbohydrates provide fuel the body. This class will explore the differences between simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates and how they affect your body for better or for worse. This class will clear up carbohydrate confusion.

Reframing Nutrition 3: Amino Awareness -- Amino Acids are critical for developing a healthy body, but what exactly are they?

Reframing Nutrition 4: Fats That Heal, Fats that Harm -- We’ve become “fat-phobic” but fat is essential for many of the body’s systems. While we know that a diet lower in saturated fat is better, what effects do mono-unsaturated fat or poly-unsaturated fat have on the body? Why are trans-fatty acids so bad? In this class we’ll take a look at fat and its role in a healthy diet.

Reframing Nutrition 5: PHARMACOGNOSY, the Study of Food as Medicine -- More and more we are hearing news about foods that may play a key role in keeping disease at bay. While science works to establish a link between nutritional elements as disease fighting agents during this class we’ll explore the health benefits of using certain foods in fighting ailments and preventing disease.
