Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia are reaching epidemic proportions, and the myth that memory loss is a "normal" part of aging has been disproven. Every bite either helps or hurts when it comes to our health, including brain health.

Join us for this single class to learn what to include and what to eliminate from your diet, to hold onto your memories, and to lose the fear of losing loved ones to dreaded memory loss.

There will be short video segments, lively discussion, and a delicious plant-based recipe demonstration with sampling.

Beth has studied plant-based nutrition for 15 years under the guidance of multiple successful physicians and researchers, including Dr. Barnard, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Sherzai, Dr. Popper, Dr. Stancic, Dr. McDougall, Dr. Ardis, and Dr. Greger, to name a few.

She dove into this topic after reading how to reverse her own painful joint issues with simple diet changes. No pills or procedures necessary!

There will be $4 per attendee for recipe ingredients, due in cash at class.

Beth was a Food for Life instructor with Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine for 8 years and helped train new instructors. She now enjoys sharing this information in a mostly retired off-grid life in the woods.
