Heal Yourself and Others with the Longevity Diet

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -Ben Franklin

In Module 1 you got introduced to the Longevity Diet ingredients, and now Melanie Ferreira will show you how to combine them to prepare healing dishes. She puts the theory into practice.

Melanie is a top natural gourmet chef with over 35 years of experience. She incorporates the Chinese Medicine theory, Weston Price Foundation Principles and western nutritional theory into her teaching. You will be inspired with first hand practical knowledge to apply these principles in your daily cooking and lifestyle.

In this class you will learn about what real food is and how to nourish yourself. It is getting increasingly challenging to tell what is in our food and where it is coming from. Melanie will show you how to select the best quality ingredients and will give you tips on where to find them.
In this first cooking class you will learn about:

This class will inspire you to deeper explore the healing properties of various foods and encourage you to seek out the best possible quality of foods for your self and your family.

This Module is accompanied by Workbook 2, which has a collection of recipes for all 3 cooking classes with Melanie Ferreira and a handout for the cooking class with Nam Singh (Modules 2, 4, 6, and 8).

Home study Kitchen Practicums

For your personal study at home, we provide 7 Kitchen Practicums written by Roger Green, which includes nutritional information and lots of great recipes to try- based on over 25 years of running our longevity diet cooking school.

Here is a sample of some of the information:

Kitchen Practicum 1

The longevity diet draws from many traditional eating practices. Some of the ingredients may be new to cooks because many of the foods people used to eat, before processed foods became the norm, are absent from our daily diet.

With practice and experience, simple home-cooked food can be used very effectively to treat many physical complaints, with no side effects and very little cost. In the same way, a diet low in simple sugars and processed foods all but negates the need for regular visits to the dentist.
