Healthy Holidays — More than what’s on your plate.

A COOKING DEMONSTRATION + FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE EDUCATION
Join Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner Monica Wilson, Clinical Pharmacist Andrea Wooley, and Certified Health & Wellness Coach Chef Sharon Tutko for a special holiday evening centered around food, connection, and the things that nourish us beyond what’s on our plate.
The holidays can be a wonderful time of year—but they can also bring more stress, busier schedules, less sleep, and more demands on our time and energy.
Together, Sharon, Monica, and Andrea will explore how food, stress, and the nervous system intersect with health and healing. We'll talk about what happens in the body when we're under stress, why your nervous system matters to digestion and recovery, and how the way we move through the holidays can influence how we feel.
And, of course, we'll be eating very well. 😉
Sharon will demonstrate a beautiful, holiday-inspired menu that celebrates real food, vibrant ingredients, and plenty of flavor—without turning the holidays into a list of foods you can't eat.
As you enjoy the meal, Monica and Andrea will bring the “why” behind the food and the body—connecting what’s on your plate with the bigger picture of health, stress, nervous system regulation, and healing.
