Day 1
After setting the scene, this first session will consist of two main areas. The first is exploring the ways in which modern dietary information has been completely distorted and how this has created nations of sick and barely functioning people.
With issues like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer on the rise, our lifestyles are destroying us.

Here we will find out what has happened and why, and how we can stop the rot and start to heal. How we can start to build a diet that helps us to thrive. Here the three pillars of dietary health will be introduced: Blood Sugar Balance, Fatty Acid Balance, and Nutrient Density.

The second part of this day is an open floor. A chance for general nutrition questions to be asked. 1 to 1 sessions. These sessions are a chance for guests to have a 1 to 1 consultation and get in0depth insight into their own diet and health, and to create strategies for improving their life.


Day 2
Practical session: 'Blood Sugar Balance'. Practical sessions take the form of interactive cookery demonstrations. However, these are not simple cooking sessions that show you the 10 best ways to use broccoli- this is instead in-depth science in action. Each session takes the particular part of each of the three pillars, and goes deep down the rabbit hole with the science. In this first session we will discuss how blood sugar management can influence everything from simply staying more alert and energetic, through to increasing risk of diabetes and heart disease. We will explore issues as the biochemistry and physiology of blood sugar management, hormones, receptors and cellular transport systems. We will then go on to discuss what happens when this normal control system starts to break down, how increased blood sugar actually raises cholesterol, causes inflammation, damages tissues, and triggers a disease process. This sounds like a lot, but it will be delivered in the format of a cookery session. The theory will always come back to what happens in the kitchen. Back to what you can actually do for yourself every day to avoid these problems and move towards better health.

1 to 1 sessions: There will also be time available for further 1 to 1 sessions.


Day 3
Practical Session - Fatty Acid Balance. The second of the three pillars of dietary health, fatty acid balance is one of the most vital to long term health. In this session we explore fats and fatty acids. We look at how different components of fats influence many of the biggest killers in the developed world - heart disease, obesity, diabetes, as well as how they influence brain power, cognitive decline and beyond. Again this session, whilst information heavy, delivers the material in an interactive practical session where we create, cook, and taste great food.

1 to 1 sessions: There will also be time available for further 1 to 1 sessions.


Day 4
Practical session - The importance of nutrient density, and how to put it all together. This session will look at the final of the three pillars. With millions of people in the developed world being massively deficient in vital every day nutrients like selenium, zinc, magnesium etc, focusing on nutrient density in our diet is of vital importance. These deficiencies can literally put our lives at risk and make our lives shorter, so it is no trivial matter. We will then move on to put all of the pieces together. Now that we have this in-depth and absolutely life saving and life enhancing information, what do we do with it? How do we put it into practice?

1 to 1 sessions: There will also be time available for further 1 to 1 sessions.
