What do food toxins have to do with your health? Find out at our free Lunch and Learn

The purpose of the seminar is to create awareness among your employees of the connection between harmful substances and common diseases.

Did you know the average American, including newborns, has 200 synthetic chemicals stored in their bodies at all times? This is the highest toxicity in human history. Our foods, personal care products and our environment are loaded with harmful substances. From genetically modified staple foods to artificial additives and sweeteners, we ingest these chemicals that make their way through the gastrointestinal system to our other organs, including our brain, every single day.

The purpose of the seminar is to create awareness among your employees of the connection between harmful substances and common, modern-day diseases that over 50% of Americans already suffer from, such as: cardiovascular diseases, stress, depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, weight gain, cancer, disruption of the metabolism and insulin production, reduced energy and mental clarity, allergies, arthritis and neurological diseases. The seminar is a FREE way to get your employees interested in the subject and start thinking about their health in a new, holistic way.
