Instructor:

Tiffany Pollard studied undergraduate pre-med at Screiner University in Kerrville, Texas, went on to study naturopathic medicine, and ultimately earned a Master of Science in Acupuncture from Bastyr University. She completed an acupuncture internship in Chengdu, China, then studied the energetic and healing properties of foods with Paul Pitchford, well-known author of Healing with Whole Foods. She went on to complete a twi-year post-graduate program with Chinese medicine master practitioner Lonny Jarrett, author of Nourishing Destiny and The Clinical Practice of Chinese Medicine.

She now owns and practices at Synergy Wellness Center, a holistic medical center just outside of Seattle. Pollard teaches five element acupuncture at Bastyr University in the Chinese Medicine masters degree program and co-teaches seminars with Lonny Jarrett on integrating five element acupuncture into a TCM practice. At PCC Cooks and through her own business, Eating For Evolution (http://community.eatingforevolution.com/), she teaches classes and creates instructional and inspirational videos about gluten-free cooking and achieving optimal health.

Beyond Oriental medicine, Tiffany has been deeply involved in the study and education of nutrition for many years. At a young age she realized the incredible healing power of food and how the environment and emotional statesaffect our entire being, directly influencing every aspect of who we are as individuals and as a collective whole. From acupuncture to the chemistryof food and the health and care of the heart and spirit, she is deeply committed to supporting self-growth and well-being of the whole person.

Leslie Lightner-Director, Culinary Events Northwest
Wednesday, March 31, 6:30-8:30 PM $25
Dietary fats: How do you know which types are beneficial and which are harmful? Most foods contain several different kinds of fats - including saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and trans fats - and some kinds are better for your health than others. It?s not necessary that you completely eliminate all fats from your meals. Rather, choose the healthier types of fats and enjoy them in moderation. Join Dr. Waller this evening as he demystifies the ?fat propaganda? we are inundated with by the media. Learn the most recent facts about dietary fats, while Chef Leslie creates dishes for you to sample. These recipes are colorful, nutritious and delicious, and contain the most beneficial fats--in moderation.
