Join integrative dietitian of Naturally Nourished, Ali Miller, as she walks you through a food-as-medicine dining experience prepared and created by chef Monica Pope of Sparrow Bar + Cookshop.

Did you know?

There are over 6 billion pounds of toxins released into our environment annually and many of them have been linked to chronic illness, autoimmune disease, cancer, and cognitive decline. Diet can function as a double edge sword where many of us are overfed yet malnourished, thus overburdened with toxins in the diet and excess calories yet lacking the essential nutrients that fuel the detox process. In this class you will learn how to reset your body's detox system with food as medicine with a successful scientifically supported focus on real foods. 

Detox: Why? What? and How?

You may have heard about Nutritional Detoxification as a way to decrease aging or risk of chronic illness, but with all the conflicting information it can be difficult to understand a sound approach. Join integrative dietitian and author of Reset Restore, Renew 10-day Real Food Detox, Ali Miller, RD, LD, CDE as she navigates a detox-supportive menu created by chef Monica Pope. You will learn about why detoxifying is essential to prevention of disease, common sources of toxins and alternative options, what foods and specific nutrients are necessary to include in a balanced approach, and realistic approaches to begin a detox process.
