Food & Nutrition Health & Society

Heart disease and many other common, chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, many autoimmune disorders, and even some cancers, are all caused by the same thing...the Standard American Diet. But the good news is that these diseases need never exist and if they do exist, they can oftentimes be reversed with a whole-foods, plant-based diet. In this course, you’re going to learn how the Standard American Diet causes these common diseases, what to eat to prevent and reverse those diseases, how to transition to a plant-based diet, plant-based meal preparation, and how to make positive changes to your lifestyle that last.
