Hilary Boynton is an author and the founder of School of Lunch, a training academy and culinary consulting company. Hilary, a mother of 5, underwent a transformative experience years ago. Where modern pharmacology failed her family, she was able to heal chronic disease through the power of food and nutrition. Hilary then set out to reawaken culture to the value of preparing and cooking through the framework of ancestral techniques and practices anchored in the observations of Dr. Weston A. Price. Hilary documented her journey through the GAPS protocol in her first publication, The Heal Your Gut Cookbook, creating a well referenced companion of recipes and strategies, vital to this category. Hilary then put her ancestral framework of cooking into practice as Head of Nutritional Services at The Manzanita School, a private, nature-based school in Topanga, California. After overhauling the lunch and snack programs, she expanded to share her proven kitchen model with other schools and individuals around the country through the company, School of Lunch. Modeling scratch-cooking, nutrient density, savory menus and strong connections with local food systems, the School of Lunch -Training Academy hosts culinary intensives and retreats, aimed at schools, chefs and individuals seeking to emulate Hilary’s well tested framework and values. A self-proclaimed “Lunch Leader,“ Hilary is dedicated to building a tribe of leaders to catalyze a cultural shift, with its focus on the future generations - our children. She is a steward of ancestral culinary practices and firm proponent of the overarching belief that food is medicine. Her work is both noble and critical in the face of a civilization overwhelmed by deficient diet trends, nutritional misinformation and she seeks to joyfully disrupt the trend of chronic illness in our children. https://www.schooloflunch.com ~ More About The Lizzie Ens Show ~ Board Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, Personal Trainer, Author, Speaker, Podcast and Radio Host and Global Social Media celebrity.
