In this class, optimal wellness teacher Evita Ochel shares what to eat and why, for optimal health and wellness. Topics include redefining healthy, why the Food Guide or Food Pyramid doesn’t work, the role of water, specific foods, and much more.

The topic of nutrition causes many questions and much confusion. As intelligent beings, part of the animal kingdom, we as humans should not be so conflicted about how to feed ourselves. After all, a squirrel or a monkey never wonders what to eat; all wild animals know how to feed themselves optimally. Yet somehow, as the modern age came upon us, more variety in food and nutrition information brought more confusion. Part of the biggest problem today is that so much of what grocery stores and restaurants sell is so heavily refined and processed that it should not even be considered food.

We are left wondering what to eat and how much to eat of any given food or nutrient. Each source out there seems to tell us something different, yet human bodies and human biology all demand the same nutritional foundation for optimal health and weight. As we continue to ignore our common nutritional foundation and continue to rely on processed food, we see the health and weight ramifications that have now spread across the whole world. As unpleasant as the truth is to hear, we are sicker and more overweight than ever. Obviously something isn’t working.

So what are we to do? In this class, you will learn how to go back to the basics and how to start using the food you were meant to eat to your advantage again.
