Keynote: The Choose You Now Diet: Lose Weight for the Last Time

Based on Julieanna’s new book, The Choose You Now Diet, this lecture will explore the ten easy-to-follow tenets for lasting weight loss and health gains. Instead of counting calories, her joyful approach to eating embraces the health benefits of a whole food, plant-based diet: one that’s focused on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices. Her low-sugar, plant-based program, combined with strategic time-restricted eating and mindfulness techniques, has a proven record of success. As Julieanna likes to say, “Results are typical.”

Food is Medicine: Simple Steps to Fill Your Plate With Delicious Food

A whole food, plant-based diet has been associated with a myriad of significant health advantages. But transitioning to this new way of life may be overwhelming initially as you learn this unfamiliar language and new habits are being formed. From shopping to meal planning and stocking your kitchen to supplement needs, Julieanna will present practical solutions to make eating plants delicious, nutritious, and effortless. This lecture explores how to get the most of what a plant palate proffers.

Cooking Class: Dressings and Sauces – Fall (More) in Love With Vegetables

One of the most underrated secrets to success with a plant-based diet is the judicious use of dressings and sauces. Almost everyone is falling short on eating the minimum recommended ten (yes, ten!) servings of vegetables (and fruits) a day, even though they are the most nutrient-dense, disease-fighting food groups available. The secret to craving more veggies is all about the secret sauce. This class will demonstrate how to make easy, delicious dressings and sauces to use across the culinary spectrum and help inspire you to amp up your love of veggies.

Cooking Class: Soup Solution – How to Use Soups as the Key to Successful Healthy Meals

Soups are the perfect way to incorporate the healthiest food groups in a delicious, comforting, and pleasurable way. Soups can include flavors and ingredients from around the globe in a variety of ways to satisfy any palate. In this class, Julieanna will cover basic broths, stocks, stews, chilis, and chowders with a focus on batch cooking and convenient, health-promoting meal planning with soup at the center.
