THUNDER BAY — Wiikwemkoong’s Joseph Pitawanakwat is looking forward to delivering a Jan. 16 Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre Healthy Harvest virtual presentation about metabolism, obesity, weight loss, and diabetes, and the world of plant medicines.
“This program is advertised as a session that is geared specifically towards metabolism and throughout that, we are going to uncover what weight loss means and how to achieve it properly,” says Pitawanakwat, owner at Creators Garden. “Through understanding metabolism, we will understand diabetes.”
Pitawanakwat says he has worked with participants ranging in age from Kindergarten-age students to elderly men and women during previous workshops.
