IT'S TIME TO RESET YOUR SUMMER!
We can all agree that the first half of 2020 hit us like a hurricane tearing up the house! Quarantined, while balancing the parenting, teaching, working, cooking and cleaning takes its toll on our energy and our health. Our kids feel it too, so we all need to rebuild our healthy home, while continuing to boost immunity as we spend more time in public spaces.

Let’s pull out our tools for 2020 Part Two with a SUMMER FAMILY RESET!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
This 4-week group program will allow you to rebuild your wellness house brick by nutritional brick, using simple, family-friendly tools. You will also receive a 7-day menu each week, complete with recipes, and grocery lists filled with tasty, nourishing options to help you and your family feel energized and ready to face the day.

WHAT: Every week you will complete an easy nutrition quiz so you and your kids can see what you are already doing that's good and pinpoint what you can do that is even better. Parents and kids can each fill out their own assessment and compare notes.

Week 1: Foundational Nutrition Evaluation (Water, Fiber, Vegetables)
Week 2: Detailed Digestion Assessment
Week 3: Diet Optimization for Stress Relief
Week 4: Immune System and Mind Support (Minerals, Vitamins)

EVEN MORE: Food first, but often supplements help us prevent nutrient gaps and address imbalances, so you will also have the option for a personalized supplement assessment and discounts on my favorite, high quality supplements.

http://firstaidhomeopathy.eventbrite.com

MAY 11: HEALTHY BABY (PRECONCEPTION) - Vicki Kobliner, RDN
The womb is truly baby’s first home. Making it a safe, nourishing and non-toxic place to grow is priority one, while poor nutrition, stress and a toxic environment during preconception and pregnancy can negatively impact offspring through four generations. Let’s talk about the positive changes you can make to prepare your body for conception. Men, you are definitely invited. Preconception health is about both parents.

http://preconception.eventbrite.com

JUN 8: LYME AND CO-INFECTIONS: SIGNS, SYMPTOMS, AND TREATMENT ALTERNATIVES - Dr. O'Hara
Lyme is not just an infectious disease but rather can be a chronic, multi-systemic disease that involves many organ systems including the immune, metabolic, gastrointestinal and mitochondrial systems. We will look at Lyme through this lens and discuss ways to better treat this disease.

http://lymecoinfections.eventbrite.com

NOV 16: ENHANCING FERTILITY- Victoria Kobliner, RDN
Whether you are starting your journey to naturally enhance fertility, or seeking ways to optimize Assisted Reproductive Technologies, functional nutrition can help. Achieving and maintaining pregnancy is more complicated than just egg and s***m quality or uterine linings. Fertility can be affected by the foods we eat, our immune systems, life stress, structural imbalances, environmental impacts and nutrient deficiencies. Let’s talk about it.

http://enhancingfertility.eventbrite.com

DEC 7: CIRS - HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT MOLD IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT AND YEAST IN YOUR BODY -Dr. O’Hara

My Weekend Wisdom talk, Nutritional Psychiatry, is this Saturday 2/9 at 10 am in my office located at 3 Hollyhock Rd in Wilton, CT!! Hope to see you there!

What you'll learn:
A sizeable body of research in the field of nutritional psychiatry supports the role of diet in mental health, as well as its potential as a modifiable risk factor for mental illness. Think about this: there is an absolute requirement for nutritional compounds to create and activate brain chemicals but there is no such thing as an SSRI deficiency….therapeutic nutrition intervention provides a foundation for good mental health and can enhance medication efficacy. Let’s discuss the potential for omega 3’s, vitamins, diet changes and much more to change your brain! 🥦🥑🍅🥒🥕

If you are interested, there is still time to register for $20: www.nutritionalpsychiatry.eventbrite.com
