CANANDAIGUA – An upcoming five-week class series, “The Food Prescription,” will walk participants, step by step, to a whole-food, plant-based diet.
The series begins Tuesday, March 7, with a free introductory class, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Constellation Center for Health and Healing at UR Medicine’s Thompson Hospital, 350 Parrish St. Presented by Dr. Kerry Graff and Thompson’s Linda Rowsick, RD, CD-N, this class will cover how diet impacts your health and will give participants an opportunity to evaluate their current diet and see the benefits of transitioning.
The remaining four classes take place on the subsequent four Tuesday evenings, at the same time and in the same location as the introductory class. These four classes feature Graff and Rowsick as well, costing a total of $125 with a schedule as follows:
- Enacting Your Breakfast Plan, March 14
- Enacting Your Lunch Plan, March 21
- Enacting Your Dinner Plan, March 28
- Troubleshooting, April 4
Included in the registration fee are two books – “The Forks Over Knives Plan” and “The 4Leaf Guide to Vibrant Health.” Food samples, recipes, and other practical, useful references will be provided to assist class participants in transitioning their diets.
Space is limited and participants must register no later than March 3, by calling (585) 396-6111.
