We just wrapped up our first “Weekly Webinar” for the Certified Mental Wellness Coach course (CMWC) – and I just wanted to share the discussion that we had in the chat box (pasted below)…
Registration for the July cohort of the CMWC will remain open until the end of this week (Saturday July 15) – you can see those details HERE.
Each week, we will have a 1-hour (ish) call where I will highlight new research and practice tips – and then answer questions about whatever is on your mind?
We record all of these calls and post them within the Marietta College Canvas platform where we hold the Certification.
As you’ll see from the chat chatter below, we had a lively discussion this week about artificial sweeteners, blood sugar balance, natural flavors, fasting, and much more…
I hope to “see” you in class one of these days…

natural flavors are derived from actual fruits and sources, under specific federal declarations and guidelines. There are some items that can be alarming in a chemistry format (but note- it must be found naturally, etc) - where states like CA have regulations that are more strict - about residue of the extraction chemicals, etc. But also because of that, natural flavors are even more strict now. The odd items that fall under natural flavors are items that might be enzyme or further processed and derived from licorice, vanilla, stevia, even sugar-- while some are just natural fruit juices or even mushroom compounds.13:48:35 From Julianne Muhlestein to Everyone:
