Open House- JavaGenesis- This Sunday!
If you’re a coffee lover or just interested in how coffee is roasted you won’t want to miss this event!
Join JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting on Sunday, October 12 between 10am and 3pm for an Open House. They are located at 741 Harry McCarty Road, Unit 102, Bethlehem, GA 30620. (off University Parkway (Hwy 316)).
They will do a few rounds at the cupping table, roast some coffee (Tom will even turn over the controls to a volunteer), drink lots of coffee and share with you what they do and how they do it.
Of course due to its wild popularity…there will again be espresso shots over ice cream.
Kids are welcome and can enjoy some ice cream too… of course without the shot of espresso :-)
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Upcoming Wellness Events
It’s finally here! The next Sugar Detox Program starts Wednesday, October 15th @ 6:30pm at Vitality Method Pilates Studio in Duluth: 2590 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Unit D, Duluth, GA 30097
What is the RESTART™ Sugar Detox?
The RESTART™ Sugar Detox is a 5-week program [led by a Nutritional Therapist] with a 21-day sugar detox built into it.
It is part class, part sugar detox, and part support group: a powerful and empowering combination!
You will be fully supported as you go through a gentle, yet powerful sugar detox that will remove the negative effects of sugar from your body and your life.
You will also learn:
How to prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally to make successful changes to your diet.
How Digestion is supposed to work and simple ways to enhance yours.
What sugar really does in your body, the stages of dysglycemia (Hypoglycemia, Hyperglycemia, Insulin Resistance, Type 2 Diabetes), and effective ways to reduce your risk of these conditions.
The truth about FATS and why healthy fats are essential for healthy Blood Sugar Regulation, as well as your general good health. You will learn which fats to eat, which fats to avoid, and why!
How to move forward from the sugar detox and re-introduce foods in a healthful way back into your daily diet.?
You can do it and you will feel amazing!
Be in control of sugar, rather than it controlling you.
Feel empowered to say no or yes because it feels good to you.
Feel so good in your body and make the best choices for you.
Sign up here! You can also reserve your spot by calling: (678) 957-3000
So what are past participants saying about the program?
“I never thought I could do this, but with all the information and support, it went by really fast and I feel great!”
“My [A1C] sugar level dropped 30% and I’m down 8 pounds, too!”
“If you or someone you know is addicted to sugar, this class will not disappoint!”
