Make your pantry a better path to health than your medicine cabinet.
Plant-based eating is a proven antidote to many of the chronic illnesses of our time.
Medical research, for example, has validated nutritionist claims that the condition of pre-diabetes (affecting one in three adult Americans) can be reversed with a plant-based diet.
Eating a whole foods diet has been shown to strengthen our immunological resistance and to prevent many other illnesses including heart disease, and even some forms of cancer.
This lifestyle aligns us with creating more peace in the world–by making a choice to reduce the suffering caused by unaware food choices, reducing animal cruelty and supporting the health of the planet.
Get inspired prior to class by watching The Game Changers documentary, available on several platforms.
Dates: November 12, 2024 Meets:Tu from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM Cost:$34.00
Elise Rivers, Esq., M.Ac., has been practicing Asian medicine for more than 20 years and is the founder of CAMA, serving the community since 2005, and offers classes through the Northwest Center for Food As Medicine. Elise is certified through the Cornell University’s Plant-Based Nutrition program and has been a vegan since 2013.
Ashton’s marketing plan described “stone-built homes, planned on an architectural idea that makes each different from the other, yet in
perfect harmony with all.”
Join us for the pleasure of viewing a pictorial history that vividly illustrates the role of Tourison’s Ye Sedgwick Farms Company in East Mt. Airy’s evolution. The company left a legacy of beautiful, enduring homes that we continue to enjoy and appreciate today.
It’s not a coincidence that the co-morbidities that COVID-19 exploits: heart disease, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, diabetes and obesity are the same health issues that arise from animal-based eating! Our affordable, plant-based dietitian, Kirsten Puskar is available to help you transition to a more whole foods, plant-based lifestyle (many insurances accepted). If you’re just starting out, you can also book a $45 intro session online with Elise to arrange for a lifestyle/nutrition consult (or call 215-266-5757). This call is for people who want to discover how easy it can be to incorporate more plants in their diet, and why.
Every month the Bux-Mont-Philly Vegan Meetup does in-person potlucks. Bring your favorite dish, enough for 5 or 10, and meet your peeps! To join click here (you’ll get invites each month)

I’ve been coming to Community Acupuncture of Mt. Airy (CAMA) for about 8 months, for chronic pain, acid reflux and IBS which were affecting my quality of life…The care I receive is excellent. I always feel that I am genuinely cared about as a whole person and that my health and well-being is as important to them as it is to me. I am especially grateful for Elise who has been a supportive, encouraging and loving teacher during my transition to a plant-based diet, through the death of my mother and through the ups and downs on my path to wellness. I still have a ways to go, but I feel better than I have in many years!Acupuncture will always be a part of my life and part of my overall wellness plan because CAMA makes it affordable to do that. It is wonderful for specific ailments, for overall well-being and for feeling balanced emotionally which is significant in these uncertain times. CAMA is a beautiful place and wonderful environment to work on health and well-being. I can’t recommend acupuncture and CAMA highly enough! –A.D. March 2020
