Gluten sensitivity is common in my family. I’ve been eating a gluten-free diet for more than ten years which has eliminated a plethora of symptoms. Our feature article, Fearless Eating, explains that complaints of digestive upsets, brain fog, headaches, relentless food cravings and unrelieved stress appear to be at epidemic levels these days. “These symptoms may be part of newfound awareness of the wide-ranging and seemingly unrelated health problems caused by food sensitivities and intolerances,” says microbiologist Kiran Krishnan, from Chicago.

Fortunately, it is much easier to find gluten-free products and dine at restaurants today than it was a decade ago. I’ve found that discovering new products that enhance my lifestyle can be fun. The Healthy Living Expo is a great place to find inspiration for incorporating healthy choices into your life. I invite you to join us on March 26, starting at 10:30am, at the FIT Clemente Center in Melbourne for a fun-packed day.

Attend the workshops and learn how to age gracefully with Ayurveda (the world’s oldest healing system) and discover what symptoms may indicate your hormones are out of balance. Gain insight on your divine purpose, enjoy a live demonstration of thermography and find out how holistic dentistry can impact the whole body. Explore the links between gut health and various ailments, common myths about hearing, and steps to heal autoimmune conditions.

Peruse the list of exhibitors on page 66 to pick your favorites. I am excited to check out the natural makeup, skincare, organic hair products. I plan to get my B12 shot for an immune boost and enter to win a spa membership! Of course, I’ll have duties to attend to but if I’m lucky you may find me enjoying a massage or energy treatment.

Be sure and come early, workshops start at 11:00 a.m., admission is free and the first 500 attendees receive a free eco-tote! Keep up with the most current details on our website at HealthyLivingExpos.com and on our Facebook page. The program guide starts on page 53 to help you plan your fun-filled day.

This event is truly where Natural Awakenings comes to life!

See you at the expo,
