12-2:30 Stress, Fatigue, Sleep and your Adrenals

You probably know that stress affects your mood, your energy, and your sleep. But did you also know that research shows that stress acts chemically in our bodies to increase our risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity? It’s time to meet your adrenal glands. Let Dr. Shunney and Chef Jenny clarify and simplify the ways in which supporting adrenal health can help you handle the stress you have naturally without sleep aids and antidepressants. You’ll explore the complex relationship between stress and disease, understand how your lifestyle affects your physiology, enjoy an organic adrenal boosting lunch, and get stress-fighting, seasonal recipes and meal strategies to take home.

9:30-11:30 Spring Cleaning Yoga for healthy digestion and elimination

12-2:30 Cleansing and Detoxification 101

Dr. Shunney and Chef Jenny will discuss ‘the cleanse’. What does ‘cleanse’ really mean? Is it safe? What about detoxification – is that different from cleansing? Should you fast? Drink lemonade? Use laxatives? What’s the difference between a colon cleanse and a liver cleanse? Bring your questions because they have the answers! All cleanses are not created equal, and Dr. Shunney and Chef Jenny will teach you what to look for when choosing a safe effective and delicious cleansing program and how to separate the wheat from the chafe. Organic cleanse-approved lunch included.

Hormone testing and the use of bio-identical hormones will also be reviewed. Organic hormone balancing lunch included.
