A gripping tale of microbes, medicine and money, UNDER OUR SKIN exposes the hidden story of Lyme disease, one of the most controversial and fastest growing epidemics of our time. Each year thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, told that their symptoms are “all in their head.” Following the stories of patients and physicians fighting for their lives and livelihoods, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of the healthcare system and a medical establishment all too willing to put profits ahead of patients.

I will be showing the film at the Goshen Senior Citizens Center on Wednesday June 15 at 6:30PM, with a discussion and Q&A to follow.

One of the doctors featured in the film is Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, with whom I have been training since 2009.

Registration is required and there is a $5 fee to help cover the cost of the space. Please contact Linda at Linda’s Office Supplies for registration and directions: 845-294-3869

The Goshen Senior Center is located at 100 Trotter Circle, behind the police station.

Feeling kind of blah? sluggish? heavy?

Still got those winter blues and an extra 5 or 10 pounds?

Want to clear up your skin, improve your focus, sleep better, and lose the belly bulge?

Please join me for a fun, tasty, and informative talk at my office Thursday, April 14th at 6:30PM.  We will talk about many different ways to cleanse and detoxify, as well as some popular methods you should avoid.

Last year the class was full and I had to turn people away, so make sure you lock in your spot early.

There is a $10 materials fee, as we will be tasting and sampling.  I will also be offering participants some very special opportunities to begin a Program with me.  So if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to get started, this could be it.

Please spread the word, and let your friends know, but reserve your own spot first!

This is the perfect time to cleanse your body and renew your energy.  Whether you want to clear some “winter sludge” out of your system, prepare for a weight loss program, get in shape for the warm weather and skimpier clothes ahead, or just do a seasonal tune-up, the Rejuvenation! Class is a great way to get started.

Register by phone or email.

Hormones: When they’re in balance we feel happy, sexy, affectionate, easy-going and downright blissed out.  When they’re out of balance we feel cranky, irritable and physically miserable.  Sometimes it seems we can’t live with ‘em and we can’t live without ‘em.  No one needs to suffer with hormonal changes, not in puberty, adolescence, reproductive years or menopause. Balancing your hormones naturally can dramatically change your quality of life for the better.

I have known Nina Rao and Ambika for several years as part of Krishna Das’ “back up band”.  But last fall I got to hear them sing on their own, and I was just blown away by the beauty, the power and the pure feminine divine that came through them and filled each of us in the room.  I have been trying to get them to come lead a kirtan  in my “neighborhood” ever since, and am thrilled to share the good news: they will be at Happy Buddha Yoga on Sunday, June 27 from 5-7PM. Tickets are $15, and kids under 12 are free.

Please don’t miss this unique event.  You don’t need to know or love kirtan to appreciate it.  You just have to be open to joy.

Contact Happy Buddha Yoga for more information and reservations.

A free health and nutrition seminar, where you will learn the top ten mistakes people make when trying to lose weight, including:

• Following the latest fad. The holistic world is just as subject to fads and fashions as any other. This month’s cure-all is inevitably supplanted by the next “latest and greatest”.  Find out what really works for weight loss, based on years of research and clinical experience.
• Eating “healthy” food. Eating popular and highly touted “health foods” could be exactly what’s keeping you from losing weight.  Discover some of the surprising common culprits that actually make it harder to lose weight.
• Doing the wrong kind of exercise. Not all exercise is equal. The wrong kind can make you store fat, lose libido and actually slow down your metabolism.  Learn what works, and what doesn’t.
• The Myth of Calories. How cutting and counting calories can actually work against you.

You’ll learn what doesn’t work, but more importantly what does!
