Wichita-based Krista Sanderson helps organizations engage and motivate their employees to eat healthfully through entertaining, educational workshops and cooking demonstrations featuring REAL food. Krista also makes frequent television appearances on Wichita’s local Good Morning KAKEland and is the featured Chef for the Kansas Grown Farmers’ Market. Krista's journey started when she realized just how much unhealthy processed food her busy family ate. Like many families, they had succumbed to convenience — both eating out and at home. Turning to REAL food resulted in significant health improvements including a 90 pound combined weight loss for her and her husband. Following her family’s transformation, Krista created EatRealAmerica.com, a web site with over 1,000 recipes, all made from REAL ingredients, plus a customizable shopping list, coaching tips, videos and more.
“Dodging Disease Deliciously!"
Join us for a cooking presentation to see how Krista Sanderson with Eat REAL America can transform REAL ingredients into disease dodging great-tasting ideas and why she has others saying things like “Eat REAL America is life-changing -- we have tried new foods we never would have thought of, are no longer stuck in a rut, and we can't believe how delicious these meals are! In the 4 months since starting this, I have lost 40 lbs and dropped my cholesterol 60 points!”
