MILK, the family lifestyle store and wholefood café is running a series of workshops from July 20 - 29 on food and your health with Shalani McCray of Live Alive, Australia.

Shalani Mc Cray a highly qualified and experienced naturopathic nutritionist and GAPs practioner is in Sri Lanka for a short period. As a sought after speaker her practical approach promises to make each session a great experience.

The series will kick off with Feel Fabulous from the Inside Out. This workshop will cover how our gut guides our overall wellbeing. Quite literally, your gut is the epicenter of your mental and physical health and has an enormous impact on so many aspects of our health and wellbeing. Without it, we will struggle to thrive given that approximately 80% of our immune system is located in our gut.

If you want better immunity, efficient digestion, improved clarity and balance, focus on rebuilding your gut health and Shalani will tell you how.

Other sessions include:

Baby's First Foods : To help new parents ensure the foods we introduce our babies to are packed full of nutrients.

Food Allergies / Food and Behaviour : Managing a nutrient dense diet and good gut health for an allergy free, well adjusted child with a healthy immune system.

Healthy Lunchboxes : A unique seminar helping parents with ideas on how to prepare creative and nutritious lunchbox meals for their children.

Making Fermented Food and Tonics Workshops : Learn to prepare, preserve and sustain foods so that they have a beneficial relationship with our digestive tract. These foods and tonics are quick and simple to make and are teeming with beneficial bacteria – which offer diverse health benefits.  Learn to turn ordinary vegetables into first class probiotic superfoods!
