Let’s make you insulin sensitive again! Join Dr. Loomis and Caryn as they both explain Diabetes Type 1, 1.5 and 2. Particular emphasis will be on pre-diabetes and Type 2 and how a whole food, plant-based diet can most of the time REVERSE these illnesses. This is particularly good timing as Dr. Loomis has co-authored a paper that will be published this summer: Medication deprescribing among patients with type 2 diabetes: A qualitative case series of lifestyle medicine practitioner protocols.

Welcome to St. Louis’ first Plant-based Restaurant Week! Mark your calendar for May 1-7, 2022 to enjoy a variety of what Kirkwood and Webster Groves restaurants have to offer! Welcome to St. Louis’ first Plant-based Restaurant Week! Mark your calendar for May 1-7, 2022 to enjoy a variety of what Kirkwood and Webster Groves restaurants have to offer! The goal is to feature plant-based, vegan items from “regular” (non-plant-based forward) restaurants to accomplish our mission of getting more people around the table together and to easily introduce plant-based foods to those who are curious about a plant-based diet. With such a continued surge of interest in a plant-based diet, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for friends and families to dine together without someone feeling like they are a burden on the rest of the group. Hey, we get that and want you to enjoy a great dining experience not only for that anxious plant-based diner, but also for the rest of the group who does not know how to cater to their needs.
