Learning about how our body works is an important aspect of obtaining and maintaining optimal health. One system that is often overlooked is our digestive system. During this presentation, we'll discuss the journey food takes from ingestion to evacuation, how our body reacts when we eat, and the communication that occurs between other systems at each part of the digestive process.  We'll gain a better understanding of how and what we eat affects our metabolism, immune system, stress response, and disease risk factors.

It's a troubling reality that sickness and disease have become commonplace in today's society.  Over decades of progress in science, technology, and medicine our fast pace often overshadows how important our connection to the plant world is to our Health.   

Pete will share his knowledge and passion as he discusses the following:

What do the microscopic creatures in the soil have to do with our health?

How do plants grow and thrive? 

What is the relationships between plants and the animals, including humans that eat them?

How have GMOs evolved over time?

How can we take responsibility of our own health and longevity?

Looking for a new-found respect and fascination for photosynthesis?  Search over. 

Why Does it Hurt?

We've become accustom to instant gratification.  Seeking relief from pain and illness is no exception.  We want a magic pill that cures everything that's wrong - right now!  Unfortunately, this kind of prescription rarely solves our problems.  It may ease the symptoms a bit, but how often do we or our health care practitioners ask WHY?  Why am I feeling sick?  Why is my health suffering?  There are plenty of capable healers right in our back yard.  These individuals take the time and care to investigate into the depths of our health.

Join us as we introduce you to a diverse and knowledgeable panel of passionate health & wellness providers. 

• Hear how they found themselves in their chosen profession 
• Learn how they increase quality of life for their clients and patients
• Discover what Integrative Health is and what it means to them in their various areas of expertise 
• Ask questions and join in the conversation!

Trina C. Ridout, MD, M.Ed., Family Medicine resident, Lancaster General Health and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200)

Jason E. Balthaser, DC CCEP at Core Health Chiropractic
