The Institute for Natural Medicine invites families, health professionals, and anyone invested in lifelong wellness to a free webinar, The Power of Nutrition for a Healthy Start, on January 23, 2025, 12 p.m. Pacific. This session will explore how decisions made by parents and providers during pregnancy and early childhood have a massive impact on a child’s later risk for chronic disease. An interactive Q&A session will follow.
Why Should I Attend?
The data is clear: balanced nutrition, stress management, and good habits during pregnancy are the foundation for a child’s healthy future. Cutting-edge research in epigenetics suggests that lifestyle choices, regardless of life stage or sex, have a lasting impact on future generations for up to 100 years.
Whether you’re seeking practical insights for yourself or aiming to educate your community, this webinar provides a unique opportunity to hear the latest research straight from the experts.
Who Will Be There?
This event will feature Kent Thornburg, PhD, FAPS, epigenetics expert, professor of medicine emeritus, and former M. Lowell Edwards Chair of Cardiovascular Research at Oregon Health & Science University. Dr. Thornburg is a leading researcher in the field and chairs the External Scientific Board for the National Institutes of Health ECHO (Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes) program.
Michelle Simon, PhD, ND, will moderate the conversation, bringing a provider’s perspective as a naturopathic physician with over 20 years of nutrition-focused experience.
What Will I Learn?
Invaluable insights into nutrition and the effects of stress, environmental toxins, and lifestyle choices to better support mothers, children, and families.
