Holistic nutritionist and lifestyle coach Jackie Mart, of Minneapolis, is offering a monthly support group for people who want to improve their diets. The Clean Eating group meets on Wednesdays at 7 p.m., starting August 20, at Lunds in Minneapolis.

“When someone makes the choice to eat clean they are choosing to eliminate all processed foods and extra additives from their diet,” Mart says. “Basically, you are choosing to eat whole, unrefined foods. Often, this is a process, and that’s what this class is all about: starting the process.”

The September meeting will be held on September 3. All other meetings will be on the third Wednesday of each month.

This class is open to anyone interested in learning more about health, wellness, clean eating, weight loss, cooking and meal planning. The theme for the August meeting is breakfast. Each month’s meeting will have a theme, such as sauces, eating out, dinners, breakfast-on-the-go, snacks, quick lunches and smoothies. Attendees are encouraged to bring a healthy recipe to each meeting so that members can collect clean-eating recipes all year-long.

Mart is the owner of Optimum Wellness, which offers a variety of health and wellness services for individuals, groups and organizations. Services include holistic nutrition consulting, kitchen cabinet clean-up, grocery store tours, meal planning, home detoxing, ion detox foot bath and herbal detox body wraps.

Cost $10/month. Location: Lunds, 25 University Ave. SE, Minneapolis. For more information, call 712-790-5883, email [email protected] or visit OptimumWellnessMN.com.
