Health Food Store Tour
If you're baffled by all the strange-looking concoctions and items in the health food store, but you want to clean up your diet and begin your natural foods journey, this is the session for you. Isabel will walk you through a large natural foods market, explaining all food categories, helping you select appropriate products, and separating the junk food (yes, it's infiltrated health food stores too!) from health-supportive choices. This one-hour tour is a great appetizer for your cooking session.
