The FOOD FOR LIFE course is a 5-week series held on Thursday evenings, 7 Nov-5 Dec, at the Fullarton Park Community Centre, Adelaide. It focuses on how nutrition plays a crucial role in addressing chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and more. The course empowers you to take control of your healthโ€”proving that we're not powerless but have significant influence over our well-being through the choices we make.

This course is designed to foster a sense of community and storytelling, which has been shown to enhance outcomes. To ensure meaningful interactions, group sizes are kept small, so it's recommended to book sooner rather than later.
