Class Description: First Foods is a class about food introduction to infants but the class has applications to a much broader range of issues that apply to effect of food on our general health and wellbeing. Food introduction has an impact on immunity, long term health, and the avoidance of specific diseases.
The unique feature of our philosophy is the emphasis on an individualized approach to healthcare. What and when you feed your children should be determined by the unique factors relating to your family and your child's health. Providing information and teaching simple tools is a much more effective approach than handing someone a 'one size fits all schedule'.
The point of the class is to offer something for all attendees. While infant food introduction is the metaphor, the class is appropriate for all parents, anyone interested in learning about the development and impact of food allergies, or people concerned about the impact of food on immunity.

Instructor Information: Everything I learned about this topic was taught to me by my amazing children who survived and thrived using this approach. Over the years I have had the opportunity to modify this approach for literally thousands of children and adults with great benefit. My formal background include my Medical Degree - Naturopathic Physicians have the equivalent of a Masters in Nutrition as part of the accredited training. I have taught nutrition in several university and graduate school programs and utilize nutrition as a primary modality in healing within my practice.
