Eat to thrive is a course that is essential for anyone interested in wellness and nutrition that every person can benefit from. For those who want to take control of their own health and overall well-being, this course provides the building blocks to do so. Many people (like myself) who have had or may currently be challenged with serious health issues have recovered. Embracing the techniques taught in this course will not only help you recover but will teach you how when faced with life’s challenges you can continue to live and thrive. For many, it can be a long challenging road back to wellness but this course has all the tools to keep you on track. We approach healing in a holistic manner by embracing all components that make us whole. We do this by learning from the masters as well as one another. Key components are mindset, nutrition, exercise, meditation and prayer, therapy (both mental and physical), and relationships all of which start from a place of acceptance and love. It’s been proven that LOVE energy has the same energy as HEALING energy. When you have been stricken with a serious illness and told there is nothing that can be done I challenge you to refuse to accept it! It only makes sense that if you can get or make yourself sick then you can get or make yourself well. At one point I was paralyzed and in a medically induced coma. My family was told multiple times I would not make it through the night by the medical industry but this was not the case. For every illness, there is a cure. Trust your spiritual intuition. Learn from the masters and the people who have made it through the fire to full recovery before us. Approach your healing with true intention connecting your heart, your mind, and your soul and you will recover.

Courses like this that educate us to be proactive in our recovery help us to teach and challenge the medical industry. In my case, (and hopefully others) they are paying attention. Doctors only know what they know. We need them just as much as they need us. We need to work together to customize our care. Listen to them but trust your inner voice. We all have our own paths in life. I have told my medical team many times that I am educated and aware of all of the statistics. I have looked at my recovery from all angles. I have told them… “I am in control of all of my faculties and capable of making my own decisions and I am more than ready and willing to LIVE with the consequences”. Be Bold, Be Brave, and trust the higher power to take you through your own personal journey. What others see as a terminal illness need only be a wake-up call. Heaven is a beautiful place but we are all here for a time and a purpose. Embrace yours, Make the decisions that bring you peace, and understand that there is no need to be attached to the outcome. I promise you if you do all of this… God or the Universe or whatever higher power you ascribe to will take care of the rest!

Eat to Thrive was an eye-opening experience for me. I thought I had been living a healthy lifestyle for over 20 years and learned that there was a better way to approach good health and nutrition. Each week there were new things to learn, reflect on and move into action. Some came easier than others, but I am still pursing the lessons. Each of the presenters brought their special gifts to the sessions, their experiences and dedication to share with others was greatly appreciated. The meditations always helped to relax my mind to take in the new information. I am learning to be patient with myself in implementing new ways of thinking and eating.

The 9th session was extremely impactful to me. The presenters were extremely open in sharing their personal journeys to wellness and encouraged everyone to continue to incorporate the “Eat to Thrive” lifestyle into their daily living.

A special thank you to Betsy Bragg for her encouragement, guidance and love in her mission to bring good health to all.

My goals when I began the Eat to thrive program was to ease into a plant based diet. I quickly learned I had to learn the very basics of cooking since I had done very little cooking iny life! The course taught me the kitchen equipment I needed and how to use them. Expert speakers taught me the basics of nutrition and cleansing. Former students used their favorite plan based recipes to make meals.

At the end of the program I was making basic plant based meals, moving toward growing my own sprouts, including wheatgrass and on my way to a healthier lifestyle by following the plant based plan and minimizing my use of sweets that are high in sugar.

Eat to Thrive – A Transforming Experience

Over the last ten weeks, I have learned that awareness is the first step to prevention and healing. I needed awareness; both of my parents had just passed away due to heart disease and nutrient deficiency. I was headed there too unless I changed my habits which I was able to do through the Eat to Thrive program.

My goals when I started the program were to learn better nutritional habits particularly with snacks, incorporate healthy plant-based meals each week, and gain simple habits that I could teach to my high school students. In ten weeks, I was able to do that and learn so much more. This experience for me has been life changing. For the first time in my many years, I’m learning the value of good nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and love. This awareness has brought confidence, and a sense of well-being and happiness.

When I reflect on the Eat to Thrive program. I think of the quote, by Benjamin Franklin, “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” Throughout this program, I was immersed in and practiced new healthy habits. I left my comfort zone to lead a mindfulness minute and teach a class on dehydrating. Instead of fried chips, I now love dehydrated crackers, kale chips, and dehydrated fruit. I tried sprouts, wheatgrass, and juicing, both of which now are part of my weekly practice.

I’m incredibly thankful to the wonderful people I’ve met through this course and especially to Betsy Bragg who is a wonderful mentor and inspiration.

My goals were to have less physical pain from an SI injury, which has happened. I am healing rapidly and now hiking for at least 2 hours which helps a lot. I also wanted to have less of the Essential Tremor which is a little less but still may be progressive. And I wanted to further refine my diet and use regular wheat grass instead of or in addition to the Dynamic Greens frozen wheat grass which I am doing. I do mix the wheat grass with celery juice when I juice it as the full taste is a bit strong for me.

Overall health is definitely better. I have recovered fully from Covid and am back at the gym interval training, weights, stretching, swimming and hiking for between two and three hours three times a week. I alternate the hiking with the gym for two hours. It’s great to feel healthy again. And also I learned a lot from being sick. I have not been used to the experience of feeling sick for some time now.

Still cancer free after 22 years now.

So this diet and lifestyle is truly the way of health and nothing else even comes close. If we don’t live in a healthy way we are very unlikely to be healthy.

Thank you, Betsy,

Love,

Peter Cutler

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of Betsy’s Blessed 10 week Eat to Thrive Program. It has been a beautiful journey packed with an abundance of wisdom, like-minded individuals that feel like family, amazing buddies for added support and fabulous speakers that spoke from the heart with passion, inspiration and immense wisdom. Week 9 impacted me the most, when cancer survivors courageously came forward and told their stories of conquering cancer and living with cancer. It was the spark in each and every one of them that really touched me deep, a spark of NEVER giving up, Believing, and Trusting in their Heart. This unique program is balanced in such a beautiful way that it has impacted my journey in so many positive uplifting ways, connecting me deeper to my own Body, Mind and Spirit, most importantly paying attention to my mind and my thoughts. Each chapter in this program feels like a chapter of my own life transforming to a greater state of health. Believing in myself, and most importantly trusting in the process and following through with my goals was key. A warm thank-you to Betsy for crafting this entire program herself, facilitating it, coordinating everything so seamlessly and always coming to class with stories of inspiration of her own journey. Your dedication and devotion to this program is a true gift. With Warmth, Love and Light, Marni-Lee
