This seminar, offered by the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) in partnership with the Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine, provides participants with guidelines for achieving optimal health. Forget diets and counting calories. Forget thinking that you need to train like a professional or Olympic athlete. If you are willing to unlearn what you have learned from years of misinformation and propaganda from the mass media, then you can follow very simple principles to eating and exercising that will put you in a state of optimal health.

If you eat a mostly whole-food, plant-based diet and follow a consistent and intense exercise program that includes cardiovascular and strength conditioning, then you will be healthy and free from chronic disease. The scheduled presenter is John E.
