- What information is Your Body telling You? In the late 1800's, Dr. Schussler identified the 12 minerals that are essential for each cell to function optimally. Minerals are the building blocks, but they are also responsible for all of the cellular functions that take place in the body. Through careful observation, Dr. Schuessler was able to trace the of symptoms his patients were experiencing to a mineral deficiency. For example, when we are experiencing muscle cramps, this is a sign that the cells are low in Magnesium and Calcium. Thanks to Schuessler, these symptoms are providing us with information and empowering us to be able to start treatment of many common complaints by restoring equillibrium of the cells minerals. – Dana Green Martin and Pleasance

Unfortunately, millions of North Americans do not have good gut health and are spending billions of dollars to treat a host of digestive disorders. These dollars are spent on physician visits, medical procedures, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements. All this money is spent with the hopes of dealing with symptoms such as reflux, indigestion, gas and bloating, abdominal pain or cramping, diarrhea, constipation, and so on. The majority of gut conditions are causes by a handful of dietary and lifestyle indiscretions.
In this informative and engaging lecture, you will learn:
How the digestive system works
Causes of common digestive complaints
How digestive health affects energy, immunity, and even mental well-being
The Mind-Gut connection
Dietary and lifestyle changes to maximize gut function
Complementary therapies to heal your condition.
