Upcoming Webinars
October 29, 2024: Understanding Sugar Cravings
There are many reasons a person might crave sweets—hardwired habits, stress and vitamin and mineral deficiencies could be the root cause of the craving itself. Join us for a free, statewide Worksite Wellness Lunch and Learn for a look at how sugar cravings develop and how to control them with Katie Godin, RD, LDN from LifeStyle Medical Centers. After a brief presentation, Katie will share how to make a macronutrient-balanced option for taming your sweet tooth—chocolate protein muffins. The recipe will be shared with all who register for the event.
