We offer a variety of nutrition and wellness education programs designed to help individuals make healthy, practical choices for themselves and their families. Topics may include Mindful Eating, Eating Heart-Healthy, and other nutrition and wellness topics.

Mindful Wellness is an OSU Extension program that explores the science behind mindfulness and the health benefits of stress reduction. Participants learn simple mindfulness and relaxation tools they can use to live a more mindful, less-stressed, and healthier life.

If you are interested in any of these classes or would like to learn more about upcoming programs, contact Erin at ruggiero.46@osu.edu or call the Medina County Extension office.
