Go Paleo for Better Nutrition! Wednesday, Sept. 15th, 6 pm EST
What is a Paleolithic Diet? Think of cavemen and eating in a way that goes back to our roots, focused on non-processed whole foods that supply the nutrients that our bodies need. The typical Standard American Diet (SAD) contributes to obesity, chronic, and degenerative diseases. High consumption of processed foods strips out nutrients from our diet, leaving us with empty calories. Unfortunately, modern day lifestyles make it challenging to pass up the convenience of highly processed foods.
Join Linda Lizotte, R.D., CDN, co-founder of Designs for Health, as she discusses the necessity to make dietary changes away from the SAD diet, while offering easy and healthy solutions. Designs for Health employs 150 individuals, and distributes high-quality dietary supplements to healthcare practitioners throughout the U.S. and internationally. In addition to helping establish Designs for Health, Linda managed a busy private practice for 15 years. She has also helped many dietitians and nutritionists start their own private practices.

Unfortunately, as loggers cut down the old-growth forest, many fungi lose their foothold in the ecosystem.

Bacteria, molds, and fungi
Love moist environments like the bathroom. Influenza (the flu) virus, herpes simplex I, streptococci, staphylococci, yeasts, and the bacteria that cause gum disease, cavities, and even diarrhea can survive—some even thrive—in high numbers on toothbrushes. Read More
