Cup & Saucer Garden and Wellness Series: Belly Biochemistry

Cup and Saucer Garden and Wellness Series: Belly Biochemistry

Join Leah M. Webb, author and garden consultant, for a 6-month garden and wellness series at Cup & Saucer in downtown Brevard, NC. We'll meet on the last Saturday of every month, 4:00 - 5:30pm, at The Mercantile for learning and community-building around gardening and wellness. Classes begin in January and end in June. See schedule below.

Belly Biochemistry Class Description: A proper immune response is largely influenced by the microbial population that resides in the digestive tract. Leah will explain the ins and outs of digestion in an easy-to-understand approach and sheds light on the relationship between immunity, disease, microbiota, and diet. She’ll discuss dietary strategies to better support immunity including some of the foods that can (and can’t) support a healthy digestive system, thus a healthy immune response. She’ll briefly discuss the gut-brain connection since this relationship has such a profound effect on our emotions, physiological responses, and ability to feel our best. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how and why food choices are such a powerful contributor to our health.

Every ticket includes a free beverage of your choice from Cup and Saucer. Choices include (but are not limited to) tea, coffee, speciality coffee drinks, wine, or beer. Additional beverages and food are available for purchase. Please arrive at 4pm so that we can be seated and ready to start by 4:15pm.

Cost: $40/person
