Nutraceuticals

Workshop Descriptions 

Nutraceuticals
In many cultures, the concept of using food as medicine has been deeply engrained. As Western medicine and technology improved over the years, we have moved away from this “natural” and holistic approach to healing, Nutraceuticals are specific vitamins or herbs that can be used alone or as an adjunct to pharmaceutical drugs. As with treatments for any health conditions, it’s important to get recommendations from a qualified healthcare provider: these products have an effect on the body and should be used with proper guidance. Our workshops are educational, designed as a first-line approach to approaching health from a different perspective. 

Nutraceuticals are products made from whole foods, food additives, herbs, phytonutrients, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and microbial sources, and can support healing for a health condition, show the aging process, prevent chronic diseases, and enhance body structure and function.  Primary care physicians, pharmacists and dieticians who present information in our workshops also offer Q/A time on a variety of themes, such as stress/anxiety, depression, digestive diseases, heart health, etc. Come discuss holistic approaches, new research, and treatment options with us!
