Eating for Longevity: Transitioning to a more plant-based diet

Saturday, Feb 17 @ 10:30 AM

LOCATION: Forbes Library - Community Room

The science is clear that eating a more plant-based diet (Mediterranean, Blue Zones, etc.) is better for your long-term health (and better for the planet). But how do we do that?

Based in large part on the book “How Not to Age,” by Dr. Michael Greger, I’ll talk about how a plant-based diet addresses some of the common pathways of aging, how I’m going about figuring out what my diet should look like based on my particular health concerns (as an example), and more importantly, how do we change our dietary habits?

I've been working with Jim to improve my pickleball game. He is a terrific pickleball teacher/trainer. He totally understands the game and what it takes to improve any stroke, from dinks and drop shots to lobs, serves, and top-spin ground strokes. He has a good sense of humor, is patient, and runs creative, helpful drills. His sense of body mechanics and how they relate to technical execution of shots is also excellent. I've improved immeasurably through my lessons with Jim, and highly recommend him as a teacher for players of every skill level. He will adapt the lessons to exactly what you need to be a better player, and increase enjoyment of this awesome game.

I am so grateful that I found Jim as a personal trainer. I recently started learning a martial art (capoeira) and Jim has been tailoring our training sessions to help me develop the specific strength, mobility, and movement patterns that I need for capoeira. Jim’s gentle attention and deep expertise make our one-on-one sessions the perfect complement to my group capoeira classes. Sessions with Jim are always varied, playful, and dynamic - in other words, just a lot of fun! - and I would recommend him highly to anyone looking to improve their performance in a specific sport or activity.

Jim is an extraordinary trainer. He has been able to pinpoint habits and imbalances that I hadn’t really noticed but that were limiting my strength, balance, and mobility. He selects exercises and sequences that address these issues really effectively. The workouts are varied, challenging, and fun, and he has pointed out easy ways to incorporate movement throughout the day. After a few sessions I am noticing improvements—and I am finding new things I would like to work on. Highly recommended!
