As we embrace the colder months, staying active and mentally sharp can be a challenge.
Here are three essential tips to keep you glowing and growing indoors!

1. Indoor Exercise Routines 🏋️‍♂️ Don’t let the cold keep you from moving! Try setting up a small home gym or follow online workout classes. Yoga, pilates, and bodyweight exercises are perfect for small spaces and can significantly boost your energy levels and mood.

2. Vitamin D Supplementation ☀️ With limited daylight, it’s crucial to manage your Vitamin D levels to maintain your immune system and mood. Consider a daily Vitamin D supplement, and always check with your healthcare provider for the right dosage for you.

3. Mental Health Maintenance 🧠 Keeping your mind healthy is just as important as keeping your body fit. Practice mindfulness or meditation to reduce stress. Also, regular virtual meet-ups with friends or joining online book clubs can keep your spirits high and your community connections strong.

Our focus is on tackling one of the most common misconceptions: that you can’t get enough protein on a plant-based diet.

Join us at Anchorage VegFest 2024 to learn how to thrive on a plant-powered lifestyle and debunking the myth of protein deficiency in plant-based diets.

Featured Speakers:

David Goldman
Chief Science Advisor for the Game Changers Documentary

Session One: How to Answer the Question, “Is [Some Food] Healthy?” In this talk, we’ll explore the value of foods on a continuum, rather than the oversimplified black-and-white view often portrayed in the media. The key question, “Is this healthy?” naturally leads to the follow-up, “Compared to what?

Session Two: Build Muscle Mass, Strength, and Endurance on a Plant-Based Diet. Do we need meat and animal products to build muscle and strength? How do plant-based diets affect endurance? This talk is for everyone—from casual gym-goers and recreational runners to committed weightlifters and competitive athletes.

Dr. Csilla Veress, ND, LAc

Dr. Veress will delve into the basics of the microbiome and its implications for metabolic diseases like fatty liver, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
In addition to these insightful talks, enjoy a day filled with expert speakers, cooking demos, wellness classes, food samples, vegan cuisine, workshops, and over 25 vendors.
