Event: Free Seminar on Vitamins, Minerals and Your Child’s Health – May 16

Vitamins, Minerals and Your Child’s HealthEvery day I send my kids to school with strawberries, carrots, blueberries, cukes and carrots… and many days they come right back. Even trying my best, my kids won’t always eat what I wish they would, so this is when I turn to supplements.

But I also don’t want to my children to be deficient in important nutrients.

If you are like me and have children who turn their noses up at all things green, and you need to make a decision about what to do to ensure your kids aren’t missing out on vitamins and minerals, here is a free seminar in the Washington DC Metro area.

Event: Free Class on Concussions & Traumatic Brain Injuries – May 11

brains-collideA traumatic brain injury (TBI) usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. It can also be be caused by an object penetrating the skull. Concussions are a type of TBI and are on the rise, especially in children. TBIs affect how your brain works and, left untreated, can result in brain damage and even death.

Free Seminar: How to Help Your Kids Thrive in Our Toxic (and Nutrient Deficient) World

kids-outsideAs parents, we know that our children are facing a different world than we did, and the research is accumulating on how this impacts our kids both with short- and long-term health effects. Environmental toxins are bad for everyone – adults and children, and even our pets. But children lack the detoxification mechanisms that adults have developed, and when children are exposed to chemicals, their smaller body size means they’re exposed to chemicals at a much higher rate than adults.

Babies, toddlers and young children play on the floor indoors and on grass outdoors. They frequently put toys that may contain toxic chemicals into their mouths. Continue reading “Free Seminar: How to Help Your Kids Thrive in Our Toxic (and Nutrient Deficient) World”
