Do you wish that there was an simple, convenient, cost-effective way to teach your kids and those in your home school group about good nutrition?  Would your students benefit from an interactive program designed to teach families simple ways to incorporate nutrition into their everyday lives. Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. workshops can help you offer effective, affordable solutions within your community.

The connection between learning and good nutrition has been proven, however most families  have yet to experience the full effect nutrition can have on behavior, learning and concentration. A diet full of highly processed foods and a lack of daily activity are all contributing to what has been termed “Nutrition Deficit Disorder” by Dr. Bill Sears. Dr. Sears suggests that Nutrition is  the missing “medicine” to many behavior and learning problems.

Dr. William Sears, along with exercise physiologist Sean Foy, created a series of interactive, clinically proven workshops to help individuals and families embrace four pillars of health: Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, and Nutrition. Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. workshops provide simple, easy-to-implement tools for making nutrition education fun and engaging.  This proven approach provides participants with all the tools necessary for sustaining health and wellness. In addition, the readily-available materials are simple and easy for participants to understand, and can be offered in a variety of settings.
