"You can run but you can't hide! Toxic heavy metals can be found everywhere - in our clothing, furniture, hair dyes, fish, pesticides, herbicides, dental fillings, water, tattoos, cigarette smoke, pipes, cleaning products, vaccines, cosmetics, and even in our supplements. Especially for us individuals living in and around Steel City, with the plethora of poisonous metals in our environment, eating a standard healthy diet may not be enough. Many are unaware that these metals interrupt the cascade of hormones in the body, replacing valuable minerals and hence changing our overall health.
After a successful mission to heal my son's heavy metal poisoning through diet and detoxification, I have made it my mission to share this with others, so they have the awareness and understanding of how drastically heavy metals and chemicals are affecting their lives unconsciously!
Come learn about:
1. Where these heavy metals are lurking! Vaccines, fish, fillings, and more.
2. Scary symptoms of toxicity including: overgrowth of candidiasis/pathogens/parasites, short-term memory loss and nervous system disorders, numbness/tingling, food intolerances, inflammation, arthritis, seizures, cancer, hypo/hyperthyroid, digestive disturbances, auto-immune, asthma, allergies, eczema, psoriasis, sinusitis, anxiety, hypertension, and rashes.
3. The proper balancing ratios of essential minerals such as zinc/copper.
4. The importance of stress free living, digestion and liver love in daily detoxification.
5. Steps to detoxify daily and cellular protection.
6. How and where you can get tested. What is Hair Mineral Analysis? Supplements/foods/minerals that assist with metal balancing or elimination.
Don't be left unprotected and unprepared!" ~ Goodness Me!

"Simple. Delicious. Healthy. For everyone. These are the ideas upon which Sandy Pomeroy, head chef at Goodness Me!, Lifewatchers instructor, and now author, based her cookbook. Introducing Grain-Free Goodness, Sandy's first and very delicious book. Sandy has worked for Goodness Me! for close to 20 years, helping inspire people toward healthy living with her recipes, classes, and enthusiasm for food. You've probably met her at some point, heard her name, or tried one of her recipes. Now, she has compiled all of her favourite recipes into one spot: Grain-Free Goodness.
Come hear Sandy's story, including why she got into healthy eating in the first place, how she started with Goodness Me!, what health challenges she has faced, and why she adapted the grain-free lifestyle. She'll show you the benefits of this type of diet, explain why she chooses to use certain ingredients, and you'll get to taste just how delicious this lifestyle can be with a few recipe samples from Sandy's book. After hearing about her food philosophy and seeing how easy and delicious healthy eating can be, you'll walk away thinking, 'I can make that'.
This event will include a class with Sandy Pomeroy, recipe samples, Q&A with Sandy, and book signing."~ Goodness Me!
