– 1/16/2019 Week 2 | Nutrition 101: What are the basics? with Cara Harbstreet, RD of Streetsmart Nutrition: Nutrition is a tough subject, but we’re here to break it down into its most basic parts. From the biochemistry of fuel to nutrition labels, we’ll talk about some nutrition basics and fight back against common misconceptions out there.
– 1/23/2019 Week 3 | Intuitive Eating and the Answer to Diet Culture with Cara Harbstreet, RD of Streetsmart Nutrition: This week we pivot to talk about why the diet culture may be leading to opposite outcomes and how we can reclaim a calm, reasoned approach to eating for a lifetime of wellness.

– 2/6/2019 Week 4 | Stress and Anxiety in the Modern World with Robin Helget LSCSW, CPT, Millennial Therapist at Resolve Counseling and Wellness: Reviewing how media, comparison, perfectionism, busyness, and expectations are impacting our mental and physical health, we use this class to explore how we are modernly seeking connection but it is creating disconnection.
– 2/13/2019 Week 6 | Envisioning your future self with Allison Edwards, MD of Kansas City Direct Primary Care: In this final session, we take time to reflect as a group on the previous weeks and workshop how we may each set realistic and attainable goals that move each of us towards a healthier lifestyle for good.
