This will be our third annual small group nutrition session with our official Vegan Chicago nutrition expert, Carolyn Tampe, RD!

Whether you're new to veganism, have been vegan for years, or just want to learn more about vegan health, this session is for you! In this interactive 90 minute session you will learn what it takes to sustain a healthy vegan diet by a qualified legitimate nutrition professional. Carolyn will address common perceptions about vegan diets including vegan nutrition myths. Topics covered will include Vitamin D, B-12, Omega-3 fats, soy and meal planning. Bring a 2-day food record to analyze what you are currently eating (optional). Ample time will be allotted for questions and comments.

Appointments with dietitians often cost over $100 per hour. This group session makes for a more affordable experience at $25 per person. It's limited to 10 people though so RSVP early before it fills up!

If you have specific and/or private questions please email Carolyn directly so she can prepare and best tailor the experience to meet your needs.

The specific address will be emailed to those attending.
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Please feel free to ask and general questions on this event wall thread.

I read the PDF that was mailed and did not see the name of the acid test used for testing B-12 more accurately. I recall it being called MMA.

  MMA is correct. It stands for methyl malonic acid. You can read more on measuring B-12 levels here http://www.veganhealt...

  Yes, I am on the way right now and do not have the address. Call me ASAP: [masked]
  I am driving in from Indiana so I don't have much time to even get there. Since I don't know where it is, I'm guessing it'll be a northside locale.

  Texting me the address at my number would be great too. That way I could use GPS to get there. RSVP ASAP though, I don't want to miss this or have to go through some sort of refund or exchange process.

I have been eating a vegan diet for over nine years, and only just recently diagnosed with a critically low B-12 level; half way below the danger low level (110). I have had to get injections and take pills, and I don't wish to do that any longer.
