EAST VALLEY NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS TO HOLD FREE CLEAN LIVING LECTURE SERIES

Monthly lecture series starts April 9; first session to focus on healthy eating for your family

Mesa, Ariz. – March 4, 2011 – East Valley Naturopathic Doctors (EVND), a premier medical facility in Mesa, Arizona is holding a new, free lecture series for Valley residents that focuses on healthy eating, healthy cooking and food allergens and illnesses. EVND will continue the lecture series each month based on feedback from patients and the community on topics aimed to help one stay healthy through clean living.

The lecture series entitled, “Clean Living,” will take place the second Saturday of each month starting April 9, 2011 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at their office, located at 5416 E. Southern Avenue. Confirmed lecture series topics include:

• Healthy Eating for Your Family: Eating the wrong foods can negatively impact your health but what exactly are the right foods? Say yes to organic and no to pesticide and genetically modified foods. Learn which fruits and vegetables are best to buy and which foods are commonly genetically modified. What are the common myths behind “all organic is good”?
• Healthy Cooking Starts with Your Pots and Pans: Are your pots and pans making you sick? Learn what cookware is best to prepare your food in and what the best food storage sources are that won’t contaminate your food with chemicals.
• Food Allergens and Illness: Are common food allergens contributing to your fatigue, allergies, pain, ADHD, ear infections, eczema, and autism? We will discuss the most common food allergens and how they can directly impact your health as well as great alternatives that taste great.

"We decided to launch a free lecture series because it is so important when you look at overall prevention to make sure you are paying attention to the products you use,” says Dr. Jennifer Nevels, Naturopathic Doctor at EVND. “People generally don’t pay attention to their health until something goes wrong. We are here to tell the community that early prevention is key to fighting off diseases and staying healthy later.”

Nevels goes on to say, “We will take one hour each month todiscuss personal experiences as well as data about why it is important to be choosy about your food consumption, water, beauty products, deodorant, cookware, cleaning products, etc. as it can negatively impact your health as well as those around you. We hope that the information provided will empower you to make small changes to fit your current lifestyle, and greater strides towards a healthier you and world.”

EVND is the largest group practice of alternative physicians in the East Valley and continues to grow as word spreads of their friendly, effective naturopathic practices. Their differentiator is their efforts to educate their patients on the importance of prevention as a way to fight disease. In 2011 EVND will be launching a few tools that Valley residents can leverage to get free and helpful advice from seven naturopathic physicians, beginning with their new blog and continuing with the lecture series.
