Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I participate if I live outside of one of the listed counties or outside of NC?
Yes, everyone is welcome! Joining a Zoom session is easy and accessible via mobile phone, tablet, or computer. If you live in a different time zone, please note that the classes will be held on Mondays at 12 p.m., EST.
How much does it cost?
This course is offered at no cost to participants.
What if I can not attend the live sessions at 12 p.m. on Mondays?
We understand that many people have demands that will not allow them to attend all of the live sessions. If you are interested in attending, please register anyway. Each week we will be sending out recordings of the live session along with supplemental materials for participants who weren’t able to join.
What is the benefit of attending the live sessions?
During the live session, participants will have an opportunity to ask questions, learn, and strengthen their network via group discussions with instructors and fellow participants. While some of this will take place in the Facebook group, the live sessions offer a bit more connection. Participants who attend the live sessions tend to have greater success with the Med way of eating since they can ask questions and receive support in real time.
Can I share this information with others who may be interested?
Yes! Please feel free to share with others. If you plan to watch the live sessions with more than one person, please complete the registration form for each person who will be participating. The registration deadline is January 27. Sign up here.
