NEW Series!
Join Dr. Sara for an ongoing series of health topic lectures.

We’ll be meeting every 4th Thursday evening of the month.

Each month Dr. Sara will address a different health issue.

June 22: Digestive Wellness and the Microbiome

An ancient Chinese medical text says “100,000 diseases begin in the belly”. Hippocrates wrote “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”

Recent scientific studies confirm the key role of the gut and digestive tract in creating innumerable illnesses, and in maintaining optimal health. It all depends on what we put in to it.

Join Dr. Sara Kendall Gordon on a guided tour of your digestive tract.  Dr. Sara will explain:

  • Why a healthy digestive tract is the foundation of a healthy body and brain.
  • How your gut affects your brain, your hormonal and immune systems, and every other major organ and system in your body.
  • How poor dietary habits compromise your digestive tract and your body’s self-healing capacities.
  • How a compromised digestive tract creates a host of familiar illnesses and mysterious afflictions.

Dr. Sara will also share simple, healthy dietary practices to reduce pain and inflammationand initiate healing for many illnesses.

Speaker: Dr. Sara Kendall Gordon, LAc DAOM specializes in Integrative and Functional Medicine and Body-Mind therapies. For more information visit her website.
