Learn how to introduce this doable, natural eating pattern which helps to slow your biological clock and fight disease.

The concept of intermittent fasting is trending quickly in all fields of health & wellness, and Primal Health Coach Marisa Moon is here to walk you through the concept step-by-step.

We’ve been trained to believe that a healthy eating strategy is one which includes 3 meals and day, snacks in between, and regimented meal times. However, if we turn back the clock we can see that, historically, humans cycled between times of feast and food deprivation. Once you couple this wisdom with the fact that digestion is a huge burden on the body— requiring up to 80% of our energy to accomplish—you can begin to imagine how important it is to give your digestive system a break. And in turn, we will achieve greater health and immunity.

Health Coach Marisa Moon explains the power of a plant-based diet and demonstrates how to create the best salads you’ve ever made.

Salads can be super lame, but they can also be crazy good. Marisa walks you through the undeniable benefits of a vegetable-based diet—for meat-eaters and vegans alike—which leads to a crash course in salad making mastery. Marisa is a recipe developer and self-proclaimed salad fanatic who’s eager to share her simple & essential techniques with you today. 

Dates preceding February 2018…

Teaching a workshop at Super Soul Sunday for Fabulous Over 50 Magazine, Indiana. This workshop was about sprouting and fermenting seeds, and including an almond milk demo.

This year at Mamby on the Beach, I will be presenting again with some thought-provoking concepts on wellness and nutrition during these live wellness workshops on Saturday, June 24th and Saturday, June 25. 

Times are changing, and music lovers are uniting to share more than music.  They are searching for inspiration, enlightenment, and connection.  My friends over at Mamby on the Beach, a lakeside music festival in Chicago, are broadening the possibilities for festival goers by introducing the wellness stage.  Here, attendees will find experiences ranging from Silent Yoga to my Primal Living & Nutrition Workshops.  I am honored to be a part of such a movement, and working hard to create content that inspires and brings meaning to those who attend.

Mamby schedule flyer 2017 Wellness Workshops

Here are some descriptions of the workshops we put together:

Mastering Everyday Movement & Finding Time for Play: Functional Movement that Encourage Longevity & Lifelong Mobility

The basic movements, ranges of motion, and weight-bearing actions our ancestors have been doing for thousands of years can still impact our health today. That’s why this year, Nike trainers and founders of Live Better Co. Jason Loebig & Bret Gornik will be walking Mamby attendees through a complete series of “functional movement” that aims to promote lifelong mobility. The workshop will focus on grounding, walking, hiking, pushups, pull-ups, squatting, carrying weight in unevenly distributed ways, and challenging yourself to always try something new. With the support and guidance of professionally certified trainers, attendees will be able to educate and refresh themselves using the hidden fitness techniques of the past.

Barbecue Season Tips: Strategies to Defend Your Health When Charring, Smoking, and Grilling Foods

With barbecue season right around the corner, Mamby is thrilled to host an exclusive wellness workshop that teaches useful techniques to defend your health while enjoying your favorite charred, smoked, or grilled foods. There’s a lot we can do to make grilled food and meats healthier—according to certified Primal Health Coach Marisa Moon—which doesn’t include giving them up. During this interactive course at the festival, attendees will be informed about the toxins caused by smoking and grilling meats, and the proper ways to protect ourselves from the harmful effects. From the use of marinades and low & slow methods, to a roundup of useful herbs, grill accessories and cooking oils; the Barbecue Tips workshop is the perfect way to prepare for the grilling season ahead. For an added treat, fans can look forward to a live Chimichurri sauce cooking demo and tasting!

Sanitize Smarter: Using Essential Oils & Intentionally Getting Dirty

What better way to celebrate this sun-soaked music festival weekend than to honor the intelligent systems provided to us by nature—in our bodies and on this Earth. During the Sanitize Smarter workshop, Mamby goers will be able to learn about the body’s natural, germ-fighting resistance and some of the history behind our modern “sanitized nation”. Certified Health Coach Marisa Moon will walk attendees through the milestones that have led to a society obsessed with sanitation and prove why the human body still wants to get dirty. Fans will learn about the important microbes on our skin and in our guts, protecting us against illness. Incredibly, our immune system has the ability to defend us with the help of plants and essential oils. Follow along the live Q&A as Marisa interviews Herbalist Monica Yearwood. Get answers to all of your pressing questions about using essential oils effectively and sanitizing smarter in the modern world. Finally we’ll wrap things up with aromatherapy samples and a DIY hand sanitizer demonstration. 

Are you interested in these topics?  With enough buzz I may try to make these workshops available for download in the future.  Comment below and let me know.

I’m pumped to announce that our stage is connected to the SOLARBEATZ music truck!  

This mobile soundstage/performance venue is a unique, thought provoking, inspirational and educational catalyst used at festivals, community events, private parties and schools to promote environmental sustainability.  A modified delivery truck equipped with advanced solar, sound and lighting technology, this “mobile spectacle” stimulates audiences and demonstrates the possibilities of clean energy by fueling an array of electronics to create an outrageous audio visual experience all powered by the sun.

SOLARBEATZ immediately converts the Sun’s powerful rays into an Earth friendly party or stores the clean renewable energy in a battery bank for use after dark. 

Audio at the SOLARBEATZ and Wellness Workshops Stage will be delivered by “Sound Off”; a Bluetooth headphone experience.  These wireless headsets let each attendee control their own volume and tune in speakers and music synergistically. 

This comes in handy for Mamby because the music is pumping from stage to stage!  This “Sound Off” experience was a hit with yoga last year at Mamby, so yoga is back and here to stay!
