Nov 10 in Palo Alto: Naturopathic Medicine & Food Sensitivities with Dr. Samia M

[Guest guest]

On Monday, November 10 at 8 pm, the Peninsula Macrobiotic Community

hosts Dr. Samia McCully, who will speak on The Role of Naturopathic

Medicine in Food Sensitivities. Dr. McCully's interest in

naturopathic medicine was ignited after developing chronic digestive

problems in college. After working with a naturopathic doctor to heal

her condition and living abroad for several years, she attended the

world's leading school for natural medicine, Bastyr University, and

graduated with a doctorate in naturopathic medicine.

 

Dr. McCully will go into detail about:

• defining naturopathic medicine

• what is a food sensitivity?

• the impact of food sensitivities on health

• how to diagnose food sensitivities

• why a customized diet is the best diet.

 

A licensed naturopathic doctor, Dr. McCully has a private practice in

Menlo Park and teaches regularly on subjects such as " Whole Body

Cleansing, " " Heart Health and Naturopathic Medicine " and " Nutrition

for the Whole Family. " She has written articles for the Puget Consumer

Cooperative Sound Consumer and Washington Athletic Club Magazine and

has been interviewed on National Public Radio for her article " Mindful

Eating. " For more information, visit her website at

AFTER-DINNER PRESENTATION: each month we feature an After-Dinner

Lecture or Event, described in the newsletter and website. Lectures

are usually on macrobiotic or other health related topics, by a

variety of speakers including macrobiotic counselors, medical doctors,

cooking teachers, and people who have dealt successfully with serious

diseases using macrobiotic or similar approaches. Other events have

included performances by folk singers and vegetarian Chinese acrobats.

We have a pass-the-hat policy for our events; we suggest a donation of

$5-10.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: all are welcome at our Dinners, vegetarian or not.

The Dinners are particularly helpful for those who want to eat in

healthy ways, but may not know how to get started. Many who attend may

have the same health concerns you have. Also, choosing locally grown,

vegetarian foods is one of the best ways to reduce your carbon

footprint on the planet.

 

Dinner attendance ranges from 40 to 100, with a full spectrum of ages

spanning newborns to grandparents, including quite a few interesting

singles. Come with a friend or by yourself; singles easily integrate

into our friendly group, where seating is communal. Many long-term

friendships have started at a Monday Dinner, and are renewed every week!

 

 

We hope to see you at a Monday Dinner! Please forward this message to

friends who may be interested.
