Quotes from participants:

“My experience taking Remy’s Nutrition 101 seminar was well worth the time spent. In most seminars you feel you leave with a lot of unanswered questions and unsure what resources to use. I learned about a lot of new websites and local resources that I was able to refer to right away. Her knowledge of what food is actually doing to you comes across in her passion for teaching us about this healthy lifestyle. I enjoyed all the science very much. I like the, “were you paying attention?” quiz at the end with incentives like healthy fish oil if you answered correctly. A little too much interactive can sometimes slow the process down of getting that much material in a timely fashion, but her check in was great at the end, making sure we got it. It was very well covered.” – Lisa Austin, personal trainer

“Thank you for putting on such an information-packed class!! WOW! I was thrilled – especially with the depth of science and physiology you presented. I’ve been arguing with my Dad (who is a doctor) about his ridiculous diet myths he hangs onto (despite his diabetes and gout) and having the science now to back up my nagging is great!” – Dave F.

“Yesterday’s class was absolutely perfect for me, I really needed the extra education to take my nutrition to the next level. Thank you so much!!” – Brian C.

“My experiences at Nutrition 101 and Hunt, Gather, Saute were in one word, enlightening. I learned so much about food, nutrition, cooking, and how to live a healthier life. I’ve been on a roller coaster ride during my paleo journey and every time I’m down something Remy taught me sneaks in to get me back on track. And this is a big task, I have the meanest sweet tooth of them all. Thank you Remy for so passionately encouraging a healthy lifestyle and providing the tools to get there…one kale bacon avocado salad at a time.” - Chanelle C.

“All the information given was easy to understand. I have already started implementing the changes into my diet. I have stopped eating grains and I feel great. I can now enjoy a meal without feeling bloated after.” – Crystal C.
