Local Instructor Challenges Fort Wayne to Get Healthy

Fort Wayne, I challenge you to get healthy with me in 2024! If you’re eager to kickstart your health journey, lose weight, and embrace a healthier lifestyle in the coming year, join me in the “Food for Life 21-Day Kickstart Your Health Challenge” – a transformative 5-series class designed to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support for informed dietary choices, disease prevention, and sustainable weight loss. Together, we’ll make 2024 your healthiest year yet!

New Year, New Health Goals

Are you ready to lose weight, fight disease, and get healthy? We’re kicking off the new year with a 5-series “Kickstart Your Health Challenge” running January 23rd through February 19, 2024, to help you jumpstart your health, achieve your weight loss goals, and help prevent or even reverse chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. In these classes, you’ll not only gain valuable tips and recipes but also receive the support you need on your health journey.

A Personal Mission for Better Health

My personal motivation for offering these classes comes from a deep place of understanding the power of plant-based eating. My father fought leukemia with a plant-based diet and defied all odds by living a decade longer than expected before losing his life to COVID-19. He was my inspiration, as were other family members who battle autoimmune diseases, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease. Their stories have fueled my commitment to empowering our community with the knowledge and tools to lead healthier lives.

Kickstart Your Health Challenge

I know what the power of eating the right foods can do for our health, that’s why I’m challenging Fort Wayne to get healthy with me through the “Food for Life 21-Day Kickstart Your Health Challenge.” This 5-series class, taking place from January 23 – February 19, 2024, from 6-8 pm at the Teaching Kitchen inside the Union Street Market, offers a unique opportunity to learn how to prevent and even reverse diseases, shed those extra pounds, and embrace a healthier lifestyle through the power of nutrition.

Transform Your Health, One Class at a Time

Each class in this series will explore essential topics, including digestive health, natural appetite control, healthy blood pressure, and more. As the new year unfolds, my mission is to empower you, the Fort Wayne community, to kickstart your health journey by achieving healthy weight loss, sustainable weight management, and an overall healthier life. This immersive challenge provides a supportive community environment and tons of resources, cooking demonstrations, and food samples, making it the perfect way to usher in a healthier you in 2024.

The “Food for Life Kickstart Your Health Challenge” is not just a class; it’s a lifestyle change designed to help you make informed choices about your diet, leading to a healthier, slimmer, and more fulfilling life.

In addition to the classes, you’ll be invited to a private Facebook group so we can support each other through the 21-days and beyond.
