"Transitioning to Health Series" at the Stanford Inn
(view online flyer)

In an interactive, informative and fun lecture, Sid Garza-Hillman teaches the basics of nutrition that can benefit everyone!

Currently, in the United States, most major diseases (diabetes, cancer, heart disease etc.) are on the rise, with childhood behavioral issues and diseases (ADD, ADHD, Hyperactivity, Autism, Type 2 Diabetes) on the rise as well. Research now conclusively links virtually all of these to insufficient nutrition. A healthy diet can help greatly in preventing disease, and can provide the nutritional support necessary to empower people (especially children) to increase their overall well-being.

Sid Garza-Hillman brings to light cutting edge nutritional research in an exciting new way. He shows people how to effectively and, most importantly, easily transition themselves and their families to a much healthier lifestyle while maintaining the same level of enjoyment of eating. He provides simple steps anyone can take that have an immediate and profound effect on his/her health. His classes are substantive, yet light, fun, and even comedic at times!

Specific topics addressed are:

* Healthy Weight Loss
* Decreasing Inflammation
* Increasing Overall Well-being
* Increasing Energy
* Improving Sleep
* Improving Stamina

Sid Garza-Hillman is a Certified Nutritional Consultant, and holds a B.A. in Philosophy from U.C.L.A. He owns the Nutritional Consultant Company "Transitioning to Health." (http://www.transitioningtohealth.net)

These classes are held on Saturdays at 10 for 2 hours and can be arranged as a private session. Reservations for the classes are required.
