⭐️ Please note this date change. We typically have our group calls on the third Thursday of the month, however, because we will be in Florida for the week and are presenting at the very time our call is normally scheduled, we will be moving it up by 2 days.

Your monthly group coaching Zoom call will be an accountability check-in and support / resources you need to stay on track. We want you to crush your goals! Checking in on your progress, and being held accountable, all the while others are cheering you on, will get you there.

This month, our medical director, Dr. Jim Loomis joins us and it’s a great time to ask the doc anything!

Oyster mushrooms are a type of edible fungi that belong to the genus Pleurotus. They are known for their distinct oyster-shaped cap, which typically ranges in color from white to gray or tan, sometimes with a slight pink or yellow hue. The mushrooms have a broad, fan-like or oyster-shaped cap on a short or absent stem. They grow naturally on the sides of dead or dying hardwood trees. They are commonly found in temperate and subtropical forests around the world and prefer moist, shaded areas and typically appear in the cooler months of fall and spring.

OK, enough about that, check out Chef’s INCREDIBLE Bangin’ Chick*n Sammie! WHOA!!!
