                                    We are helping Alaskans to discover
                                    the joy of living healthier,
                                    happier and more vibrant lives.


                                    _Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity and one third to two thirds of cancers are directly linked to our unhealthy Standard American Diets (SAD). Our diet is killing us!

                                    It doesn’t have to be this way. We have amazing self-healing bodies that, when given nutritious, healthy food, can survive and even reverse many of the serious and debilitating diseases suffered by most of today’s Americans.  The U.S. has become one of the unhealthiest of the developed countries. Most adults in their 40s, 50s and older are on various medications to lower their blood pressure and cholesterol or to manage their diabetes. They may have had major surgery to replace clogged arteries, to remove diseased or cancerous parts of their bodies or to reduce the size of their stomachs. Many have gone on unhealthy diets where they lost weight in the short term, but usually gained it back, and more, after going off the diet.

                                    For the first time in our history, the life expectancy of our children is shorter than their parents. Obesity, heart disease, diabetes and other “adult” diseases are showing up in our children at younger and younger ages.

                                    _Our innovative, fun & inspirational nutrition and cooking classes show you how you can eliminate or reduce your reliance on medications and surgeries that only manage symptoms and achieve a healthy, vibrant life simply by adopting a low-fat, whole-foods, plant-based diet.
