Detoxification and Digestion, Part 1

Purification also known as detoxification or cleansing is the process of addressing the natural toxins in the body. The liver, digestive tract, kidneys, bladder, lymphatic system, lungs and skin are the major systems and organs that are involved in the neutralization and elimination of toxins. In this amazing class Maggie will show you why we need to cleanse and purify the body. We will learn it's not only what we eat that contributes to our state of health, it's how we eat and process foods that contribute to our well being. The class explores digestion and the combinations of foods that create harmony within the body. The pH system. How we create toxicity, how we detoxify and purify the system. Specialized juices, herbs, plants that assist the detoxification process. Simple exercises and cleansing procedures. Colon therapy. The benefits of cleansing and detoxification. Participant's comments are often Wow! That class really opened my eyes, why is this important information not available to us anywhere but here.

Detoxification and Digestion, Part 2

(Participants must have attended part 1)
Now participants have a general understanding of purification and detoxification we can look further into healing and purifying your body. You will discover how toxic you really are and creating a personal healing/detoxifying plan to suit your health and lifestyle. Answers to questions such as, what are whole foods? What foods I should stay away from? Where do I purchase the supplements and products necessary? What kind of diet should I be eating? How often should I do this? What can I expect to happen to me? What are cleansing reactions? Participants will come away knowing how to adapt these principles into their lifestyle. They leave this class excited to begin down the path of their own purification.

Four Steps to Health Youthfulness and Vitality

Hippocrates once said; "The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Ignite your healing force."
While the world we live in today has improved in many ways, we face a persistent and serious challenge maintaining good health in a toxic environment. From the air we breathe, to the foods we eat, the water we drink, our environment is polluted. These numerous pollutants can enter our bodies through our lungs, digestive tract or even through the skin. And that is only the outside story. On the inside much is happening. Disease should be described as dis-ease. In other words a body out of control and balance. Throughout this class Maggie makes it clear how an optimal diet can both supply the basic needs of the body and fortify the body's defenses and mechanisms of healing. She will clearly define the four areas that need to be addressed in order to overcome toxins, dis-ease, aging and fatigue. Discussion will cover the mind, diet, cleansing and purification, rebuilding and maintaining. By dedicating yourself to following these guidelines you will maximize your results of purification and ignite your healing force. Participants frequently describe this class as one of the most powerful and life-changing classes ever experienced.

The Basics of Human Nutrition

The body requires energy for all of its functions, from the beating of the heart and elimination of wastes to the transmission of chemical signals in the nervous system. It gets its energy from food, by taking it in, digesting it, and metabolizing its components. Food is fuel that contains energy from the sun, originally captured and stored by green plants, and passed along to fruits, seeds, and animals. Humans eat these foods, and burn the fuel they contain, as long as we live we have to eat. This informative class gives us all the basic facts about human nutrition. Here is everything we need to know about whole foods, enzymes, fats, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins, and their effects on our health. Maggie equips us to make decisions about the latest miracle diet and covers topics such as time management and meal planning, food combining and shopping for whole foods. Participants will receive an easy to follow optimal diet.

Herbs and Natural Medicine

Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food. Hippocrates
Since the beginning of time humans have used plants for food, shelter and healing. Long before the written word humans relied on instincts and trial and error, thus herbs and plants evolved into folk medicine, the household use of simple herbal remedies based on word-of-mouth tradition that stretches in an unbroken line to prehistoric times. Many herbs have been used successfully for centuries to treat a multitude of health problems. This informative, useful class covers the history of natural medicine and herbs, a look at some of the most well-known herbs that you can use yourself at home. Culinary herbs and more.
