Instructor: Dr. Jeff Appelmann

In cancer care, both diet and supplements (including herbs) can play pivotal roles in helping an individual successfully navigate their cancer journey. But are all these things that are promoted as being good for cancer actually good for every type of cancer? And are all of these safe to take with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, biological therapy, and radiation?

Dr. Jeff Appelmann has worked closely with cancer patients for nearly two decades. Join him as he discusses some of the more commonly used supplements and nutritional choices for cancer care (including the management of side effects), and what they are safe to use with, and when to avoid them.

A healthy and optimally functioning nervous system is perhaps the most important aspect of your health, as the nervous system runs and regulates every single process in your entire body.

Countless individuals are suffering from poor nervous system function which can severely interfere with their activities of daily living, as well as make it difficult for them to enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle due to pain. What adds to this issue is that a poorly operating nervous system can be silent for a long time!

Come join Dr. Erman Ali as he discusses safe and natural approaches for improving your nervous system function as well as sharing his tips on how to maintain an optimal nervous system to ensure that you are able to continue living an active lifestyle without limitations. Don't be limited by pain, fear, or suboptimal health -- join us and take control of your health naturally without the need for pharmaceuticals and painkillers!

Instructor: Viera Povazan, RHN, CBS

One of the most obstructive lifestyle problems is the declining condition of the spine. Various types of backaches and postural problems, though more prevalent with the elderly, do not spare the young. Increased weight and lifestyle are often complicating already existing problems. Even though these problems are not life-threatening, when mobility or pain issues suddenly become daily companions, lifestyle limitations are inevitable for individuals and their families.

Join Viera Povazan to discuss what your body is telling you and how you can implement natural, immediate, and simple strategies to feel better!

Welcome H.O.M.E. (Helping Others Manage Everyday) program presented by Turner & Porter. "There is no place like home. Home is our safe-haven where we can truly be familiar and comfortable. When changes occur within the family, such as a death, separation, or someone leaving home, it often creates change in the responsibilities for the one remaining. Adjusting to the new 'normal' can be difficult. As you embark upon this new journey, we invite you to join our H.O.M.E. program to assist with a variety of life's essentials. You're not alone. Welcome to our home."
