2nd Floor Conference Room - Parker

For decades, dietary fat has been portrayed as something to avoid - but what does the latest research actually tell us?

Join Erinn Snively, Nutritional Health Coach from Natural Grocers, for an engaging look at the role fats play in a healthy diet.

Learn why fats are essential to the body, explore the differences between various types of dietary fats, and discover how nutrient-dense, higher-fat foods can fit into a balanced eating pattern. We’ll also take a look at some of the latest research on dietary fat and separate common misconceptions from what we know about nutrition and health.

Whether you’ve been confused by conflicting advice about fats or simply want to better understand their role in your diet, this class will provide practical information to help you make more informed food choices.
