4-week nutrition class and New venue for Nutrition in Pregnancy class

Nutrition in Pregnancy

Change in venue

I reveived an overwhelmingly positive response to the Optimal nutrition in pregnancy course!  I have removed the payment button for this class for now because I will be updating the class and it will be hosted permanently on a new website.  When this change occurs I will post a link to the Optimal Nutrition in Pregnancy class again, the cost of the class will increase with the change in hosting.

Thank you so much for all your support and I am so glad you have all enjoyed the class so much.

Stay tuned for more information on the new Optimal Nutrition in Pregnancy Class information.

Four Week Online Optimal Nutrition Course

I have been working tirelessly on the more in depth nutrition class and have received a lot of requests for this class.  The class is nearly finished, however, I am just in the process of looking for a place to host the class.  This has proven to be the biggest challenge.

As soon as I finish up the course and find a suitable online host I will post all the details.  Here is the information I have so far:

• This will be a four part series of classes
• Each class will last approximately 11/2 to 2 hours
• The cost will be $100 for the four part series
• You will be able to attend the class on your own schedule if you cannot attend live

I will post further updates as I know more about the host, date, time etc.....

Sift through the confusion and learn what the scientific literature shows about optimal nutrition

I have been appalled at the misinformation being taught to pregnant women by child birth educators and midwives.  It is critical that solid education be given so that pregnant women can receive proper information on what they can do to affect the outcome of their pregnancy.

Much of the confusion about diet and health has been caused by special interest groups funding research and promoting diets based on products they sell rather than truthful information about optimal human nutrition.

Join the Optimal Nutrition in Pregnancy class and

Sort fact from fiction in the world of nutrition!
