What Participants Are Saying About Redefining Health

Since attending this most recent Redefining Health workshop, I can truly say that my life has been changed. This workshop opens your eyes, as well as your mind, to acknowledging the things happening around you. Too often, we become used to our experiences. The touch of your partners hand, the sounds of a child’s voice; we become comfortable with these senses and don’t give them the acknowledgement they deserve. This workshop reawakens you to these experiences. I think everyone should attend this workshop if given the option, I promise you will not be disappointed.

I attended Redefining Health in early October. I attended for both personal and professional reasons. I am at a point in my life where I feel I am surrounded by illness. As a Nurse Practitioner, I deal with it every day at work. I am also working through chronic Lyme disease. I needed help with the struggles of a chronic medical condition, and burnout I feel with my work.
Bob and Diane were very captivating. The ideas they presented from other global tribes and cultures were simplistic, yet profound framed in our modern American society. Anyone, no matter what age or season of life they're in, can benefit from attending this seminar. Redefining Health can help those with illness, those who are struggling in relationships, or anyone with uncertainties in life.
I received many gifts during the two day seminar. Namely that, instead of viewing my illness as a cross to bear, I can now see the gifts it has given me. Without Lyme disease, I wouldn't have learned to take care of myself as well as I do now, I wouldn't be interested in integrative health as a means to further my healing and that of my patients, and I wouldn't have attended Redefining Health. I hope to apply what I learned at the seminar in my professional practice by pursuing a wellness model for healthcare, rather than simply accepting the disease care model that we now have.
I will not soon forget what I have taken from this seminar. I hope to attend Redefining Health and other seminars in the future at Tai Sophia. What a gem!

Learn how to boost immunity, feel great, and prevent disease through healthy digestion.

Half of us have digestive issues that diminish our quality of life. These include irritable bowel syndrome, food sensitivities, indigestion, heartburn / GERD, constipation, diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease. Others have issues that often improve with improved digestion, such as migraine headaches, fatigue, fibromyalgia, fuzzy thinking, pain, eczema and other skin conditions.

Digestion affects everything from your energy level and moods, to your immunity against everyday illnesses and serious diseases.

Liz Lipski, PhD, CCN, CNS, will teach about health digestion and offer practical tips on how to use elimination diet, supplements, herbs, and changes in lifestyle to improve the way you feel.

Dr. Lipski is the Academic Director of Nutrition & Integrative Health Programs at Maryland University of Integrative Health. She is also on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine and the Autism Research Institute. This will be the first book signing for Digestion Connection. She is also the author of Digestive Wellness, Digestive Wellness for Children, and Leaky Gut syndrome.

The latest scientific research is merging with traditional wisdom. Probiotics are healthy bacteria found in cultured and fermented foods, and supplements that have specific benefits to our health.

They also balance our immune function, manufacture vitamins, make our food more digestible, and regulate digestive function.

Come and learn about how to enhance your own digestion through probiotic and prebiotic rich foods. Understand how to choose probiotic supplements and dosage. Hear about some of the fascinating research on the human microbiome. Recognize the wisdom of the ages from when we didn’t have refrigeration. Learn how to simply incorporate cultured and fermented foods into your own life.
