Food as Medicine Oregon has their Lifestyle & Nutrition Course beginning on Tuesday, August 25th.

It will be held weekly from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Aviva Health Conference Room at 150 Northeast Kenneth Ford Drive. The 13-week course offers evidence-based information on disease prevention and reversal. This covers heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and other chronic illnesses. The course includes practical recipes, cooking demonstrations, supportive handouts, and strategies for stress management, exercise, and self-promoting nutrition.

The Lifestyle and Nutrition Course is offered for free. The costs associated with it have been supplied in part due to donations and support from Umpqua Health and others. Participants of the program have the option to consider becoming a Community Supporter by contributing to a sliding scale donation campaign to sustain and expand the program.

Classes are also offered virtually on Zoom. To sign up or get more information, email: info@foodasmedicine.org
