Winneshiek Medical Center will offer new nutritional education program

Winneshiek Medical Center is offering a new way to look at your relationship with food.
 
A four-session course called "Healthy Body, Mind and Spirit" will begin in March.  The course costs $80, and runs March 14th through April 4th.  There will be a free informative gathering on March 7th from 5:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. in the WMC lower level conference rooms.
 
"Healthy Body, Mind and Spirit" is a course open to anyone age 17 and older. Topics discussed in the course include, but are not limited to: dieting vs appetite-driven eating, metabolism basics, physical, mental and emotional connection to what we eat and identifying different types of hunger.
 
The course is taught by WMC nutrition services director Sue Zbornik, a registered, licensed dietitian, who has experience helping chronic dieters. "Our bodies were meant to work for us, not against us," says Zbornik. "There are billions of dollars spent on dieting each year. However, after dieting, nearly everyone regains most, if not all, of their lost weight within five years.  My mission is to help improve one's relationship with food and their body, and explore the why and how their eating supports their body, mind and spirit."
