“Clean Cuisine” is the long-term and sustainable answer to eating for optimal health, disease prevention, weight loss, vitality, longevity and good taste. Developed by Andrew Larson, M.D., Clean Cuisine is an anti-inflammatory whole foods diet that was originally created to help his wife, Ivy Larson, after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998. The Clean Cuisine diet has since helped tens of thousands of people with a wide variety of inflammatory conditions, including asthma, arthritis, endometriosis, psoriasis, rosacea, fibromyalgia, heart disease, chronic pain and more. And the number one “side benefit” is hunger-free weight loss.
Ivy Larson will share her personal story, the science behind the health-promoting, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory Clean Cuisine program, and the logistics of what it means to eat clean on a day to day basis.
Ivy Larson is an author, cooking instructor and American College of Sports Medicine Certified Health Fitness Specialist. Ivy adopted the anti-inflammatory “Clean Cusine” nutrition program created by her husband, Andrew Larson, M.D., after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of twenty-two. The program has helped put her M.S. into remission. Her most recent books, Clean Cuisine and 40 Green Drink, Smoothie and Other Superfood Recipes, are spin-offs of her popular website, CleanCuisine.com. Ivy is also the creator of the “Full Fitness Fusion” workout DVD. She lives in North Palm Beach, Florida with her husband and 13-year-old son.
