On November 6, 2024, Green & Tonic (21 Forest St, New Canaan) is hosting a special event that will highlight the transition from a purely plant-based menu to a plant-forward approach, incorporating high-quality proteins like organic chicken, wild-caught fish, and pasture-raised eggs.

Join Dr. KC Cannon and Dr. Katie Takayasu as they discuss the vital role of balanced nutrition in promoting longevity, vitality, and overall well-being.

This engaging conversation will cover:

• The key components of a balanced meal, with a visual guide to help attendees incorporate these principles into everyday life.

• The contrast between a standard American diet (SAD) and a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory, plant-forward approach.

• Why macronutrients—proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—are essential for optimal health and how to balance them effectively.

• The benefits of a plant-forward diet, supported by high-quality animal proteins like pasture-raised eggs, organic chicken, and wild-caught fish.

• Understanding the importance of protein: how much we need, what types are best, and why "clean" sources like organic and pasture-raised options are critical for supporting metabolism, healthy aging, and disease prevention.

• Tips on snacking and maintaining balance throughout the day.

Don't miss the chance to experience Green & Tonic’s new food offerings and get expert advice on how to nourish yourself with a blend of plant-based and clean protein-forward meals. This is your opportunity to learn how to support your health goals with real food while enjoying a delicious and balanced approach to eating.
