Longevity Nutrition: Mastering Insulin, Protein & Easy Meals - Sessions 3 & 4 with Susan Baumgarten, RD, LDN
If chronic disease is a fire, high insulin is the gasoline that fuels it—but your kitchen holds the power to turn down the heat. Building on our first sessions, this two-part workshop moves from theory to the table, solving the dual challenge of keeping insulin low while hitting the high protein targets essential for healthy aging.
Join renowned local integrative health practitioner and registered dietitian Susan Baumgarten, RD, LDN, for these continuing sessions (3 and 4 of 6) in her popular series on optimizing health and lifespan through functional nutrition. Susan, who has presented engaging programs at the Wellfleet Adult Community Center before, returns with practical, evidence-based strategies tailored for real life—especially for solo cooks. Past attendees love Susan’s blend of science, practicality, and inspiration.
Participants will master the Glucose Shield, the Solo Protein Strategy, and clever Budget Swaps through easy, delicious 10-minute recipes designed specifically for one-person households. Expect hands-on ideas to support energy, longevity, blood sugar balance, muscle maintenance, and overall vitality as we age.Whether you're managing or preventing chronic conditions, boosting protein without spiking glucose, or simply wanting simpler, smarter meals, Susan’s approachable style delivers actionable tools you can use right away. Please RSVP by calling 774-801-8119.
