Lunch & Learn
Ladies who Lunch & Learn, talk Bone Broth instead of fashion and sip Adaptogenic Teas instead of Wine. Katelin of Clean Life Collective’s enthusiasm for educating our community in her quest for wellness and optimum health is inspirational. She is spirited, passionate and radiant. It is her love for what she does that has propelled her so quickly to take off in her career as a wellness guru. Her momentum is energizing, her path destined for great things.
I was honored to host her first of many Lunch & Learns. ‘A balanced gut creates a balanced mind’. She joined forces with accomplished and talented Chef Anne Alfano to create an inspired, delicious and nutritious lunch for body, mind and soul.
She advocates cooked versus raw foods, like Soups, Broths and Roasted Vegetables. Prebiotic and Probiotic rich foods like Vegetables, Kimchi, Sauerkraut and Greek Yogurt. Anti-inflammatory foods like Bone Broths, Herbs, Spices, Omega 3 Fats and Healthy Proteins. Hydration with Spring Water and Calming Teas. And food based supplements.
