There are three primary components to shifting into an anti-inflammatory state. The first step is to remove processed foods and replace them with foods that promote an anti-inflammatory state in the body. We'll enjoy anti-inflammatory recipes that turn off inflammatory pathways in the body and directly reduce inflammatory chemicals. Recipes include a lemon-herb chopped vegetable salad, sautéed leafy greens with garlic, lemony delicata squash, Mediterranean sheet pan salmon, and blueberry-vanilla sorbet. Learn to manage inflammation with Alissa Segersten, functional nutritionist and cookbook author.
Anti-Inflammatory Cooking: Balancing Blood Sugar

There are three primary components to shifting into an anti-inflammatory state. The second step is to balance blood sugar. Chronically elevated blood sugar creates a cascade of inflammation in the body, leading to brain fog, fatigue, slow wound healing, and can cause sleep disturbances. Learn how to make easy, blood sugar-balancing breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes. We'll enjoy turkey cauliflower hash, chicken avocado lettuce wraps, egg and avocado breakfast bowls, roasted ginger chicken and broccoli bowls, and more!

- Registration Fee: $99.00
There are three primary components to shifting into an anti-inflammatory state. The third step is to remove foods that your body may be launching an immune response to. When the immune system perceives food as a pathogen, the result is a body flooded with inflammatory chemicals. We will also discuss how to support digestion and improve gut health. We'll enjoy salmon and asparagus, brown rice and snap pea salad, detox soup, cauliflower and chickpea Caesar salad, and banana oatmeal cookies. Manage inflammation with Alissa Segersten, functional nutritionist and cookbook author.
