This week I am excited to be starting a new plant based nutritional certificate. I will share more details as the course develops. Wish me luck!

I believe in education and of taking full control of your own health and wellbeing through learning. There are so many amazing inspirational stories out their about people with chronic disease dramatically improving their quality of life through nutritional education. In the case of Toronto based nutritionista, Meghan Telpner, she has remained completely symptom free from the debilitating Crohn’s disease after getting educated and switching to a diet comprising of whole, unprocessed foods in combination with meditation, yoga, acupuncture and rest.

Meghan Telpner has tuned her remarkable story of healing into a wonderful resource offering workshops in her Toronto (Canada) kitchen and online classes for students from all over the world. Meghan is this week launching her latest and greatest online course called Foods For Healing. The Veggies and Me posse have been offered a special 10% discount on enrollment to this course with use of the unique coupon code “veggiesandme”.

I am also running an exciting giveaway to mark the launch of this latest course. Simply share a breif personal story of “Healing Through Food” in the comments below, before Sunday November 11th, to go into the running to win free enrollment to Foods For Healing. The most inspirational story will win. The lucky student will be announced on November 12th.

Meghan Telpner’s Foods For Healing Course Details

1 in 5 North Americans suffer from serious digestive distress. Most of our modern health challenges have some level of inflammation involved. I personally, spent years suffering from serious digestive issues until, in 2006, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease.

I have heard from so many of you asking what I did, what I ate, how I healed, and then how I worked with my dad to help him kick cancer, and how I have worked with hundreds of clients to get them on their own health train.

I am thrileld to be able to share this information with you!  Foods For Healing is a course I began teaching here in my kitchen to groups of 20 at a time. As the demand grew, I couldn’t stretch my kitchen any further and so we have created this unvelievable course.

We had peope flying in from across North America to get to this workshop as there is currently nothing like it available.

This course will explain from start to finish the path of disease, how these imbalances can take over in our mind and body and then what you can do about it. The information included empowers you to take ownership over your health, and learn how with certain foods and specific nutrients, you can play an active role in your own healing- or simply in maintaining optimal health.

Feedback From Past Programs
It is amazing how much nutrition information I absorbed in such little time. It wasn’t until I actually conducted my first workshop that I came to realize just how much of what Meghan taught us really sunk in. There were a few ingredients, processes and theories that Meghan talked about on a number of occasions that did NOT seem too repetitive, but DID build a great foundation of knowledge. She really introduced us to WHY certain foods are so good for us, breaking down the technical reasons in easy to understand ways. Her introduction of new key foods has changed my daily life completely; I eat better (and I already ate well), feel better, and cook better. I find myself regurgitating things Meghan taught me to others ALL THE TIME.

I just completed this course and it was an outstanding educational experience and completely life changing. 10 stars out of 5!! I highly recommend to those interested in taking their personal nutrition or health business to the next level.

I loved the course. It really made me take that extra step in thinking about and preparing my meals and has made my week so much easier. I used to spend hours a day prepping meals but with the tid bits I took away from each module I have begun prepping everything on Sundays. I found the worksheets extremely useful and have printed them all out along with menu plans and put them in a binder. Although I knew a lot of the information already, my boyfriend watched every video with me and I think it helped get him on the same page when it comes to food preparation (which is extremely helpful!).  – Malakai Kirkpatrick
