Created by Kat Owens,
Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
This class is the accumulation of my experience investigating nutrition for 10+ years, teaching dozens of classes, receiving feedback, and considering Christians' needs.
Good nutrition has had a significant impact on my life and my family's: I've healing my own digestive, skin, and blood sugar problems, allowing myself to avoid unnecessary medications, expenditures, and limitations. My children are health and happy and we all richly enjoy our food!
I want Christians to be able to use their Biblical worldview to cut through the depressing, confusing, contradictory, and constantly changing messages from our culture about food, and this class is my solution.
But people are usually reached most effectively by their own communities and the individual experiences of those they know personally- that's where you come in!
YOU CHOOSE

Don't know? That's OK. You'll have access to both and the facilitator guide will help you plan the right class for you and your audience. You can use these materials to facilitate a class in-person and/or online.

LEVITICUS 11:3
(MOSAIC LAW)
fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth
GENESIS 1:28
It's not the meat, fat, sugar, grains, or dairy themselves that are the problem.
It's what's been done to them when dominion has not been exercised well over God's Creation.

Despite being less likely to smoke and drink, Christians are no more likely to describe themselves as 'very healthy' than non-religious people¹.
For too long, Christians have ignored healthy eating because of past associations with non-Christian movements, letting those groups lay claim to what was Created by God, and only to have their diets and beliefs unknowingly shaped by false religions, atheistic worldviews, and centralized industries that don't honor God's Creation.
"As a Christian and a homemaker I have been striving to make better choices for my family when it comes to nutrition, especially since I myself have chronic health conditions.
The mainstream information out there is so misleading and I really appreciate the biblical truth and substantial research behind Kat’s information. The course had a lot of great information and practical applications of how to make impactful changes.
Kat is a wealth of knowledge and lives her life as a great example of biblical nutrition and what that looks like. God truly did create all we need!"

Rather host a class that I teach?
Sometimes bringing in an outsider is a more effective way to introduce a community to a new idea!
I love teaching this class and am willing to consider in-person or online classes based on number of participants, desired date, and location.
Price is considered on a case-for-case basis but I keep it as reasonable as possible. I currently live in Utah and Montana but am willing to travel.
