For generations, Americans have been taught that foods labeled "enriched" and "fortified" are healthier options because vitamins and minerals have been added to the food. Yet few people stop to ask what those added nutrients are, how they are manufactured, or how they interact with the body. Thomas Levy, MD, JD, has spent decades researching nutrition, oxidative stress, cardiovascular health, and the impact of synthetic compounds on human physiology. In fact, many years ago Dr. Levy created a video about Iron in Cereals. Recently, Dr. Levy met with the 26th United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to discuss concerns about enriched and fortified foods and the need for greater awareness surrounding what is being added to the modern food supply. Dr. Levy will share the science behind enrichment and fortification, the potential unintended consequences of synthetic additives, and why returning to nutrient-dense whole foods may be one of the most important steps we can take toward protecting our health.

Many of us spend years believing we are not enough. We focus on our mistakes, replay our failures, and hold ourselves to standards we would never impose on those we love or even on strangers. Yet God does not define us by our worst moments, our shortcomings, or the labels we have accepted along the way. His love is patient, compassionate, forgiving, and unconditional. When we begin to see ourselves through God's eyes, we can release self-judgment and embrace the truth of who we were created to be. I will share how learning to love ourselves like God loves us can transform our relationship with ourselves, deepen our faith, and bring greater peace, purpose, and joy into our lives.

Many of us move through life carrying emotional wounds we may not even realize are still affecting us. Over time, heartbreak, grief, fear, and unresolved experiences can shape the way we connect with ourselves and others. This often creates invisible barriers around the heart. Bradley Nelson, DC, creator of The Emotion Code, The Body Code, and The Heart Code, has spent years exploring how trapped emotional energy may contribute to emotional and physical imbalance. By learning to identify and release these energetic blocks, we can experience greater peace, connection, and emotional freedom. Dr. Nelson will share how understanding the heart's emotional burden may help us move toward healing in ways we never imagined possible. I am grateful for Joanna for being our teacher in this class.
