Whole Health Makeover Program- Part One

This past Saturday, May 8th, marked the first official Whole Health Makeover Program, Part One. We had a full house and the program ran incredibly smoothly, fortunately. We spent the day alternating between lectures by myself,  Dr. Matthew Lederman, and Dr. Alona Pulde of Exsalus Health and Wellness Center, and cooking demonstrations by the brilliantly talented and hilarious Chef AJ.
