Are you struggling to overcome chronic anxiety? Join us for our expert led summit to learn how to manage overwhelm, stress, panic, social anxiety, and ruminating thoughts ONCE AND FOR ALL!

There is no real “quick fix” for anxiety. The foundations of anxiety issues can begin in the mind years before any symptoms occur. By examining our mind, body, nutrition, hormones and lifestyle as components to anxiety, we begin to to uncover the path to regaining a joyful rhythm in life.

We’ve gathered five experts (Ed Jones, Dr. Bryan Johnson, Josh Porter, Dr. Matt Smith, Brandon Knight) with over 100 years of combined experience in integrative health. Each of our speakers have helped individuals just like you achieve optimal health.

During this unique event we’ll discuss:

• The powerful connection between food and mood.

• The current research and practical solutions you can start right now!

• How to empower yourself and be your own best advocate instead of a feeling like a victim.

• The incredible options of the “green pharmacy” and the dangers/potential benefits of appropriate pharmaceutical interventions.

• The power, benefit and safe options for healthy hormone balancing.

• The power of mindfulness and learn how to encompass this within your healing path.

• The vital nature of balancing the autonomic nervous system with a plan of action to take with you.

• If the “unknown” cause of your anxiety issues might be related to mold exposure or chronic lyme issues.

• The value of “proper” blood testing in achieving healthy brain function.

Each of our experts will share for one hour and provide powerful nutritional and lifestyle solutions for your anxiety so you can feel calm, joyful, and on top of the world again.

We’ll be meeting at The Feed Table and Tavern where a delicious lunch will be provided.
