In this class, we will prepare two traditional brunch dishes, but with an added twist: more veggies! While some topics in nutrition are up for debate, one thing that almost all nutrition experts agree on is this: incorporating more vegetables in the diet is a good idea. Adults should be getting a minimum of 2-3 cups of vegetables daily. Estimates report only 1 in 10 adults meets this recommendation. The problem is, finding tasty, simple ways get our vegetables in can be difficult. In this class, we will cover some of the ways different vegetables benefit us, why diversifying the vegetables we eat is so important, and practical ways to apply this information in the kitchen. Participants will receive a print out of the recipe used, an outline of what is discussed, and a serving of the meal that is prepared.

Many common health issues including weight gain, leaky gut, IBS, skin issues and even mood disorders have been linked to the health of our gut bacteria.

For years now, taking a high potency probiotic has been a focus of many health advocates. Equipped with the latest microbial research, we now know that high potency is only part of what makes a great probiotic and that the diversity of the strains are just as critical to our health.

The science is showing that as we evolve as humans we are losing not only the overall amount of bacteria in the gut but also the diversity of the different strains present. This is big news and has a huge impact on our health.

Join Brenda Watson as she discusses this newest research and brings you the latest, most innovative probiotic formulations to the natural products industry.

Since 1997 Brenda has dedicated herself to the natural health industry, to producing the highest quality and effective products possible and to the thousands and thousands of consumers she has personally helped get their health back on track. Her knowledge is surpassed only by her enthusiasm and ability to engage her audience—whatever the medium.

Brenda started her journey by discovering how to heal her own health issues with natural remedies. That was the catalyst that has lead Brenda down the path to her passion to help others heal, focusing in on the digestive system. Brenda has personally traveled around the country teaching, educating and lecturing on the significant impact the digestive system has to the rest of the body. Through her books on natural health and her popular Public Television shows, Brenda was able to get the message of digestive health out to millions of people nation-wide.

The gut microbiome and the benefit of probiotics has always been a main focus of Brenda’s teachings. In the mid 2000’s she created the first high potency, multi-strain probiotic that many companies produce today. Armed with the latest research on our microbiome, Brenda is back with a new message regarding probiotics.
