Meet your gut microbes & learn what makes them tick so you will "tock." These vital "bugs" provide key compounds we can't live without.
About this Event

Microbial Partners in Action!
Intestinal "bugs" have evolved along with homosapiens from the beginning of time.

Yet, only 35 years ago modern scientific technology offered us a doorway to get to appreciate this vital symbiotic partnership, this otherwise invisible universe of the human microbiome.

Join Eat for the Earth and others as we "hike" our intestinal terrain, "meet" our microbes, understand how and what makes them tick and us "tock" as a result, and share a tasty microbe-friendly dish. The more we know about our microbes, the better stewards of our shared community (our whole body system) we can be. And it gets better!



Viruses, Fungi, and Bacteria...Oh My!

In this class you will learn ...
How scientists stumbled across the human microbiome
The parameters of our symbiotic relationship with that of our microbes
Why it might be more accurate to describe ourselves as "microbes"
What microbes provide for us that is so very vital (why we can't live without them)!
How we can help our microbes, so they can be most efficient in helping us
And more, ...much more!

Walk away with notions of creative ways to communicate with our microbes. We can learn to fuel them in ways that help them grow and further their purposes. For when they grow stronger, we grow stronger. It's a win, win!

This two-hour class features a delightful power point presentation, a juicy discussion, informative Q & A, a listing ofresources and recipes, and the opportunity to relish a microbe-boosting recipe to get you started on diversifying your plant intake to up to 30 different types per week.



Don't miss out. Bring a friend(s) for this mind-bug-gling class presented by Eat for the Earth . See you there!

PLEASE NOTE: NO MEAL will be served. And... you are very welcome to bring your dinner to eat during the class if you like.
