SUMMARY:Down to Earth Nutrition
DESCRIPTION:We’re honored to begin a Down to Earth Nutrition Series with Karla\, a mom and nutrition professional whose journey began with her son\, Leeon\, who was born with Down syndrome. From the very beginning\, Karla paid close attention to his health\, immunity\, and long-term well-being\, searching for ways to truly support his body and prevent future challenges. Through years of observation\, research\, and lived experience\, she learned how powerful nutrition and food quality can be. What began with supplements evolved into a family-wide shift toward organic\, whole foods – a decision that led to noticeable improvements in her son’s immunity\, thyroid health\, digestion\, and overall strength\, as well as her own. Karla’s story is rooted in listening to her child\, trusting what she saw\, and understanding that real wellness is not a short-term diet\, but a long-term lifestyle. For her full story\, please visit: https://karlacubilla.wpcomstaging.com/journey/ \nJoin us on February 23 from 6–7 PM for the first webinar in this series as Karla shares her story\, the nutritional changes they made and why\, and what you can start doing today to support your own family’s wellness. \nRSVP to join us online.
