How to Improve Your Gut Health

This 3-week program is designed to help you improve your overall health by dealing with the gastro-intestinal (GI) system. Although the gut has many functions, it primarily serves as a protective barrier against foreign bodies that stimulate the body's protective response. This ongoing response then leads to chronic symptoms and disorders.

Susan Bruey, RN MSN CHC, will teach the function of the GI tract and the possible dietary and lifestyle triggers that can damage its integrity. You will also learn how to assess your gut function and how to take actions to improve it if necessary.

Many disorders begin in the gut. So if you are interested in taking action to improve your health, you'll want to know how to improve your gut health. The class fee is $50 (for all 3 weeks), and registration is required.

Tuesdays, March 17, March 24, & March 31

1:00 - 3:00 pm

Obesogens - Common Chemicals that Make Us Fat

Obesity is the leading cause of preventable illness in America today, and it is most often attributed to eating and drinking more calories than we expend through physical activities. But there may be more to this story.
Obesogens are chemicals that have the ability to alter fat metabolism and promote fat retention. Because we are unknowingly exposed to these chemicals every day, they can be a hidden cause of weight gain and obesity, and may be contributing to the inability to lose weight.

Free Seminar: Thursday, October 2nd from 1-3pm

 

During this lecture, Mrs. Bruey will present information about the primary types of obesogens that are found in our homes today and she will offer actions that we can take to avoid exposure and eliminate these specific types of toxins from our lives.
