What is the philosophy? The human body was designed on the savannahs of Africa. Six million years of evolutionary adaptation created a digestive system that was ideal for the needs and diet of a hunter-gatherer. But since farming and industrialisation the modern world has introduced new food groups, new methods of producing food, adulteration and processing that have placed great stresses on our digestive capacity and created many layers of compensation. Added to this we have new stresses and social pressures that cause us to reach for things that will either stimulate, relax or comfort us. The result is poor digestion, weight issues, poor absorption of nutrients and consequently more susceptibility to all sorts of chronic diseases. |

What will i learn and what will i get out of it? From this programme you will get a clear understanding of how the digestive system has evolved and why it struggles with modern diets. You will clearly see the patterns that affect you personally and learn how to progressively return your body to its optimal biochemical state. The tools you will learn are the best available, drawn from the most effective methods used in orthodox and complimentary healthcare. When brought together within an evolutionary framework they form a clear and powerful method of achieving good digestive health and therefore normalised weight and bodily functions. |

How does it work? There are four steps to an Enlightened Eating programme: Step 1: Attend our 1-day introductory workshop. You will learn how to properly cleanse your digestive system and then adopt a dietary routine that will ultimately return you to your most vital and healthy self. Step 2: Book a 1-hour assessment. This will allow us to take a full medical history from you and explain why you have any digestive problems, weight issues, illnesses or chronic health problems. We will also take objective measurements that will be used to check your progress along the way. Step 3: Start a 12-week programme and attend a weekly progress class. You will be given a programme specifically designed for your needs which you can undertake at home or using the Light Centre’s menu plans. You will attend a weekly class to check on your progress, introduce a new area of knowledge, allow you to ask questions and get support from your group. Step 4: Attend the other two 1-day workshops (Enlightened Body and Enlightened Thinking), then progress on to our graduate programme (Enlightened Living) where you’ll explore how to better integrate your new knowledge into your life and explore ways to work with others to improve your local community. |
