Healthy Food Foundations Internal Instructor Training
This is an internal training for Common Threads staff and instructors on the content and curriculum associated with the three-part Healthy Food Foundations program. As a reminder, these classes can be done as a series or as stand-alones. This training is required for either expression.
Healthy Food Foundations (HFF) was developed as a family-friendly introduction to culinary medicine. This three-part series dives into how nutrition can prevent, manage, and treat certain chronic diseases.
