UPCOMING PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATIONS

May14-16, 2010 in Truckee , CA

Micronutrients for Mental Health Association

Anti-Anxiety Food Solution: How Eating Real Whole Food Can Prevent Anxiety and Accelerate Recovery

It is imperative to eliminate refined sugar, white flour and processed foods but there is so much more we can offer our clients when it comes to nourishment for anxiety disorders. We need to consider the following: eating to control blood sugar swings; top-notch quality organic and non-GMO food; grass-fed meat and wild fish; superfoods like coconut oil, bone broths and sauerkraut; dandelion and other greens for liver support and improved digestion; and avoiding additives, artificial sweeteners and toxins that further stress the body. Including this valuable nutritional element of eating real whole traditional foods provides an important level of healing for anxiety and all mental health disorders. Avoiding gluten-containing foods, caffeine and other substances are imperative for some individuals. Food purchasing and preparation ideas will be shared, as well as valuable resources for further reading, support and education

For more information about Micronutrients for Mental Health Association and the other great speakers Bonnie Kaplan PhD, Charles Popper MD and Teresa Kolpak.  And here is the brochure: Micronutrient Treatment & Research in Mental Health conference

Enjoy the wonderful organic, delicious and healthy food and wonderful hospitality of the Cedar House Hotel in, Truckee . What a superb location for a conference!

April 28-30, 2010 in Las Vegas, NV

Holistic Treatment: Changing the Way We Look at Recovery – Mind, Body and Spirit – 1000+ addiction/mood professionals

“Eat Whole Real Food to Accelerate Addition Recovery & Mood Stabilization”

In recovery, it is imperative to eliminate refined sugar, white flour and processed foods but there is so much more we can offer our clients when it comes to nourishment: eating to control blood sugar swings; top-notch quality organic/non-GMO food; grass-fed meat and wild fish; superfoods like coconut oil and sauerkraut; dandelion and other greens for liver support and improved digestion; and avoiding additives, artificial sweeteners and toxins that further burden the body.  Those recently in recovery, suffer from a myriad of nutrient depletions and imbalances, and have absorption issues. Including this valuable nutritional element of eating well, provides another important level of healing.  Food purchasing and preparation ideas will be shared, as well as valuable resources for further reading, support and education.
