Race to Nowhere, a Documentary

Quest Academy will host a screening that is open to the public. A discussion group will follow the screening.

To order tickets visit Quest Academy’s Event page.

Film Synopsis:

A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children’s lives. Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace; students are disengaged; stress-related illness and depression are rampant; and many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired. Race to Nowhere is a call to action for families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.

Location : Quest Academy, 500 North Benton Street, Palatine IL 60067
Contact : info@racetonowhere.com or 925.310.4242

Following the movie (which lasts 90 minutes), Quest Academy will host a 45-minute panel discussion with local education and mental health professionals.

The Gluten and Allergen Free Expo in Chicago April 29-May 1, 2011I just finished chatting on the phone with Jen Cafferty,  Founder of the Gluten and Allergen Free Cooking Expo, which is in its fourth year. She’s filled me in on all the wonderful vendors, cooking classes, and possible children’s events scheduled for the weekend of April 29-May 1, 2011. Interested attendees are asked to register now if they want to receive early registration discounts for this event. I’ve attended past Cooking Expos hosted by Jen as a consumer, and I can tell you that each year this event  gets bigger and better. This spring promises to be no different. For the first time, the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo will host cooking classes in two tracks, one geared toward beginners and one for experienced allergen-free cooks looking to expand their knowledge. Sign up for the classes as soon as possible because they sell out every year. …continue reading »

Recently we have received a letter from Jodi Thomas – the casting director of TV show “The Biggest Loser”. Here’s the excerpt:

Thank you for all your amazing help in the health and wellness community! We are super excited to be coming to Chicago for our open casting call!

Last season we found many great contestants from the Chicago area and our last winner was Mike Ventrella, a local who lost 264lbs!

This season we hope we can find more great people who are in need of our help and would like the life-changing opportunity to get on the show. We ask that you help us get the word out that we are coming to Chicago to cast the show.

We are looking for positive people who need to lose a substantial amount of weight. These are the people who are in danger of many major health risks.

Losing those extra pounds and getting back into shape is always a great idea! Good luck to all Chicago contestants!

Health Freedom Expo 2009 - Chicago

Support healthy lifestyles, enhance good nutrition, and encourage Americans to make daily, sensible life-choices – that’s the mission of the Fifth Annual Chicago Health Freedom Expo (June 12-14, 2009) – a premier natural health event.

As their web site states:

It’s economics, really. The more natural health products people use, the fewer drugs they buy. The pharmaceutical industry is taking steps to slow the shift toward natural healthcare. With the support of the medical establishment, Big Pharma is striving to gain monopolistic control over the use of drugs and make them the only measure available to treat illness.

The Health Freedom Expo is a dynamic three-day event featuring the most prominent keynote speakers (Nicholas Perricone, Chef Alex Jamieson, Joseph Mercola to name a few) …continue reading »
