Body and health positive events in New Orleans
Just a quick post about some great body/health/food centered events going on in New Orleans in the next few weeks and months.
Erin Reho Pelias of the local natural parenting boutique Zuka Baby is offering a free series of nutrition education classes for moms. She's a certified Holistic Health Counselor and boy does she know her stuff! Whether you're just starting out on a journey towards healthy cooking or you consider yourself fair to middlin' in the kitchen this series will have something for you. We've been looking at the work of the Weston A. Price Foundation and talking about eating a diet based on animal proteins, fruits, vegetables and grains. We've also touched on community gardening, gardening at home and where to get the best local produce (I'm a big fan of the Crescent City Farmer's Markets, especially the one Tuesdays at Uptown Square).
Tulane University is hosting a free talk by Dr. Renee Englen, a professor of psychology who runs The Body and Media lab at Northwestern University. The talk is on April 19th, and the title says it all: "OMG. I’m so fat!” How Fat Talk Hurts Women and What You Can Do to Stop It.
The Eating Disorders Treatment Center at River Oaks Hospital is hosting a breakfast workshop the morning of May 29th. Registration is $10. They have an extensive list of workshops and conferences here.
And that's all the news that's fit to print for today. If you're on my timezone and are beginning to think about dinner plans like I am then I wish you bon appetit!
