Mar 4 / 6:30-8:30pm / Building Health Class 2: Building Health with Food

There is no one right diet for everyone, but nutrient dense foods should be foundational in any diet. This class looks at nutrition as a way to support the body rather than a set of rigid rules to follow. We’ll talk about the basics of nourishment, including macronutrients, nutrient density, relationship with food and how food choices affect energy, mood, digestion, and metabolism.

You’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to feed yourself in a way that works for your body and your life. Herbal tools, such as bitters and digestive teas, are introduced as simple supports that can help the body engage more fully with food.

This class is offered both in-person and online and is part of the Building Health series, though it can be attended on its own. Classes are donation-based, with a suggested range of $0–$25 depending on your financial situation. If you’re able, you’re welcome to pay it forward by donating more to help keep the series accessible. In-person attendees please register in advance here so we can get an accurate headcount.

This class is part of a 12-month class series designed to help strengthen health using realistic, accessible lifestyle practices, nutrition, and herbs as supportive tools. These classes are for anyone who wants to better understand their body, cut through wellness misinformation, and build healthy habits.

This series focuses on how health is built over time through daily practices, small adjustments, and systems that support one another. We will look at how sleep affects mood and food choices, how digestion influences energy and immunity, how stress shapes the body, and how simple, repeatable practices can create meaningful change.

Herbs are woven throughout the series as practical tools that help support healthy function when used alongside daily habits like sleep, food, movement, and rest. You’ll learn herbal categories (such as bitters, nervines, carminatives, and tonics), how and when they’re useful, and how to use them in a way that fits into real life.

Each class can be attended on its own, but the series is intentionally sequenced. Attending (or watching) all of the classes will give you a much deeper understanding of how different aspects of health connect, reinforce one another, and build toward long-term resilience.

These classes focus on parts and physiological processes rather than gender, and are taught with the expectation of respect and care so that the space is as safe and welcoming as possible for everyone who chooses to attend.
