Holiday Announcements – Workshops, Consulting, Nutrition Guides and More

Today, we’re making some fun announcements, all related to the upcoming holidays (and the fast-approaching New Year).

Give us 30 seconds, we’ll give you $25!

We’ll be filming the It Starts With Food promotional video at our Team CrossFit Academy workshop (Monrovia, CA) on Saturday, January 21st, and we’re looking for folks willing to testify (on camera!) to their Whole30 or Whole9 experience.  All we want is one short sentence, related to our material, and how it’s changed your life.  “I lost 15 pounds.”  “I cut my diabetes medication in half.”  “I no longer have asthma attacks.”  “My skin is finally clear…” We hear all of these stories and more every day from our readers.  So now’s your chance to tell the world!

Tell us about how our program, philosophy or articles changed your life, and appear in our book’s promotional video, launching nationwide this spring!  And the best part?  Give us 30 seconds of your time, and we’ll give you $25 off your workshop registration!

That’s right – email melissa@whole9life.com with your specific testimonial topic (weight loss, medical condition, sleep quality, performance, etc.), and we’ll send you a discount code good for $25 off your Whole9 Foundations of Nutrition workshop at Team CrossFit Academy.  Space is limited, so register early to save your seat and let us make you famous-ish in our video.

So visit http://whole9academy.eventbee.com/ for workshop details, and email melissa@whole9life.com to register for your on-camera moment, and earn our $25 discount code.

Special Events at our January Austin, TX Workshop

We’ve got some special guest appearances on deck for our  Woodward CrossFit workshop (Austin, TX) on Saturday, January 7th.  First, Melissa Joulwan of The Clothes Makes the Girl  and author of the soon-to-be-released cookbook Well Fed, will be holding a FREE Q&A at lunch.  She’ll be covering some of the basic tools necessary to Eat Good Food – like grocery shopping, kitchen-stocking, prepping food and planning meals – without being chained to your cutting board or oven.

And at the end of the day, we’ve got another special guest – Keith Norris, owner of Efficient Exercise and creator of the Paleo(fx) Ancestral Health Symposium.  Keith will be teaming up with us to hold a one hour roundtable of big-picture concepts – health vs. performance, our “Whole9 Health Equation” and how to put all of the pieces of a busy, stressful life together in a way that continually makes you healthier.

Register for our January 7th workshop in Austin, TX now, and participate in two additional presentations from experts and leaders within our community.  Visit http://www.eventbee.com/v/whole9woodward for details – and save $15 if you register by December 18th!

Space is limited, so register early to save your seat.  And in the meantime, stay on the lookout for Melissa’s cookbook, Well Fed, dropping in early December.
