Organic Athlete Vegan Conference 9/24

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

The inagural OrganicAthlete Conference is just around the corner. With a stellar

lineup of speakers and athletes, this event promises to deliver a wealth of

information and inspiration, and we'd love to have you there! Here's just a few

highlights:

 

Conference Includes Delicious Catered Meal

Juicy Lucy's, San Fransisco's premier juice bar and organic, vegan cafe, will be

serving up a delicious lunch for conference goers. Along with an abundance of

fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, you'd better be sure to train hard next

week because you will be well-fed at our event!

 

Walking the talk

Still insanely fit at over 50 years of age, Dr. Doug Graham walks his talk. A

reknowned expert on sports nutrition and sought by many Olympic athletes, Doug

is a walking encylopedia of nutrition information and a dynamic speaker. Doug

will give a presentation on " Nutrition and Athletic Performance " that will

distill the essentials of optimal sports nutrition in easy to understand

principles.

 

Volunteer Opportunities

We still have volunteer opportunities available! Put in 3-4 hours of your time

and get into the event free! Email me or call 707-360-8511 if you are

interested.

 

So where do you get your protein?

The protein question just won't go away, and Dr. Rick Dina's presentation

illustrates why whole, plant foods are the best answer. In his powerful,

scientific presentation, Dr. Dina explains how a vegan diet can provides

essential protein for athletes and active people. Dr. Dina has years of

clinical, research and education experience in vegan nutrition, and his

presentation will arm you with the facts you need to make informed choices about

your nutritional intake of this largely misunderstood nutrient.

 

How should you train?

Rozalind Gruben-Graham is one fit lady. A highly sought after fitness instructor

in the United Kingdom, Rozi has taught hundreds of fitness classes. And like her

husband, Doug Graham, Rozi walks her talk with grace and exuberance. In her talk

on " Effective Fitness Training, " Rozi will discuss the different elements of

fitness and how to plan your training to meet your fitness goals.

 

Lifetime Vegan

Where are the examples of longterm vegan success? The path towards a vegetarian

or vegan diet is full of people who tried and didn't stick with it for one

reason or another. Dr. Ruth Hiedrich has been a vegan for 23 years and counting.

And she's not looking back. What has she learned along the way? What's it take

to stick to a vegan diet? Come listen as Ruth shares her lifetime of experience.

 

Going the distance

Are you an endurance athlete? Then we have just the educational seminar for you.

Brendan Brazier, a professional Ironman distance triathlete, and other endurance

experts will be sharing their knowledge and experience. Discover the why a

plant-based diet is truly best for endurance athletes and how to get all the

nutrition you need to go the distance.

 

 

Get HUGE!

OK, so you might not look like some dude in a Bodybuilding magazine without

steroids, but you can get ripped and still be vegan. In fact, you'll be much

healthier. Charlie Abel, a raw vegan personal trainer, talks about " How to Build

Muscle on a Raw Vegan Diet. " And we will also have Kenneth Williams on hand to

discuss why he went vegan and how he maintains his size (which is pretty darn

big) without eating animal products.

 

But how do I prepare all this new food?

A vegan diet is great, but not if you don't know how to make the food. Justin

Lucke, an expert cook, will give a 2 hour demonstration on vegan food

preparation. Juicey Lucy's will also give a demonstration on making delicious

smoothies and juices.
