  • Are you a victim of the SAD diet?
    Are you tired, sick, do you struggle with your weight? Are you concerned that your metabolism has slowed down? Are you getting the nutrients your body needs to be well?
    Diana Fletcher is a Health Educator who is passionate about teaching people the importance of good digestion and the value of plant based digestive enzymes, plant based vitamins and chelated minerals, about proteolytic enzymes and collagen and how important it all is to your overall health.
    Diana shares her journey with gaining more energy, losing weight, and feeling better simply by eating "living" foods. She says if we want to be ALIVE we have to eat alive!
    In the SAD (Standard American Diet) food is processed or "cooked" which kills the live enzymes we need in order for our body to function properly. As we age we lose enzymes and our body can't digest things like protein, fat, and dairy.
    Diana shares how "live enzymes" that are plant based and not "synthetic" can break down our food so we get the nutrients our body needs. Diana shares how taking digestive enzymes helped her 80 yr old mother who suffered with irritable bowel and diarrhea.
    Diana will demonstrate how the enzymes work in a cup of pudding and explain what whole foods can do to heal our system and restore us to optimal health. Learn how digestive enzymes helped a man with cancer, a woman with Crohn's disease, and how you can change your health by simply eating one meal a day packed with fresh live enzymes!
