Implementable, plant-centered, microbiome focused nutrition! (Live or via Zoom)
All through my coursework while obtaining my MSc in Exercise and Nutrition Science I kept running into the same thought in my nutrition classes: we need to teach people how to cook. We can't just tell people about diet. We have to help them with the whole process and make it achievable and enjoyable.

*What the heck is microbiome?? We have and need a symbiotic relationship with so many microbes! Whether they are bacteria, fungi, viruses, or archaea, we need the "friendly" ones in our gut, on our skin, and everywhere! But generations of antibiotic overuse, consumption of excessive processed food and alcohol (and even procedures like c-sections) have destroyed our "gut gardens." Of course we need modern medicine, but we also need to restore and rebuild our microbiota. Luckily, for most people the best way to do it is with certain foods...
