Hi Teri, Congratulations on an excellent lecture, Everyday Eating for Long-Time Living. I just loved it. If it is not too much trouble (I am sure you are inundated with emails and requests from the conference) I would like to request any information you have on Calcium and dairy products as I am doing Osteoporosis ultrasound screenings and education clinics and all I can get helps me educated customers on how to prevent and/or manage this debilitating disease. Also you mentioned something about the ' new pyramid ' that would be helpful as well. Please add me to your mailing list so I can keep up-to-date as to what you are doing. Thank you. Live well ... be well, SAM S.A.Morris, PHEc. BSc.Nutrition (Ryerson)/ PT (Can-Fit-Pro) [email protected]

Hi Terry, Once again, you wowed everyone at CanFitPro in Montreal. This is the 4th year that I have attended your workshops in Montreal and I must say that I truly enjoy them. You have single-handedly changed the way I eat (and the way my boyfriend eats). After 4 years of attending your workshops, I have incorporated the eating strategies that I learn in your workshops into my diet. This year, I incorporated manna bread as well as stevia (which help because I suffer from hypoglycemia).

I volunteer at Can Fit Pro Montreal every year and as result, I never really get a chance between workshops to tell you how much you have impacted my life and others lives as well (I am sure). I briefly spoke to you after Sharon Donaldson's workshop as I was running out the door to head to another room, but I believe you deserve much more praise than I was able to give you.

Your spirit and your knowledge are inspirational. You have opened my eyes to the power of healthy eating (and the power of negative thoughts "Delete button"). Because of what I learn at your workshops, I eat better and I am in a better position to give my fitness clients REAL nutrition tips. The knowledge you share is priceless. Keep it up!!! You have such a powerful impact on people's lives. I hope you know the good that you are doing!!!! I look forward to seeing you at the next Can Fit Pro conference in Montreal. I will definitely be volunteering again next year.
