Vancouver Monthly Potluck: Is Gluten Bad for You?

Dec 3, 2025

This month we will share a few short videos regarding the healthfulness of bread and gluten.

Is Gluten Bad for You: this short, animated clip by DocUnlock is a colorful and painless way to learn a little nutritional science.
How Ultra-Processed Bread Took Over America: this video is narrated by Mia de Graaf, a health editor at Business Insider. Mia covers bread making, health risks, and what to look for when you shop.
The Truth About Gluten: by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s Exam Room dietician Lee Crosby goes into greater detail on the facts about gluten in your diet.

The potluck starts at 5:30pm with the presentation beginning at 6:30 to be followed by discussion.

Westside Potluck: Presenting Hilary Conway, Author of Radical Wellness

Dec 21, 2025

Our last potluck of the year is just a few days before Christmas. Come share a meal with old friends and new ones.

Following the potluck, we are pleased to have a presentation by Hilary Conway, the author of Radical Wellness: Pathways to a Healthy Body, Mind, and Planet. Hilary is a holistic nutritionist who traded her path to nursing school for a deeper mission: addressing the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. Her work integrates personal well-being with planetary health, offering a transformative framework built on self-love, mindful habits, whole-food plant-based nourishment, and our interconnection with all life.

Come to the potluck at 5 pm, Hilary's presentation at 6:15, or both.

Location: West Hills Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 8470 SW Oleson Road, Portland
