Join our Community Medicine Circle talk with local Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Haley Schimmer, in an exploration of disease prevention, self-resilience, and vitality. Open to all, the intention of the community medicine circle offerings is to weave connection, decrease isolation, improve health sovereignty, keep us out of the hospital, and to create more capacity for a vibrant healthy life.

Our bodies function best when our blood sugar is in a narrow, healthy range. With age, genetics, and a certain amount of exposure to sweets and refined carbohydrates (like bread, pasta, rice, tortillas) our bodies lose the ability to keep our blood sugar in a healthy range. This wreaks havoc on all parts of our body. Join us in discussing ways to prevent this, or if we already have pre-diabetes or diabetes, how we can help our bodies get back into normal sugar balance.

• Blood Sugar Regulation

• Glycemic Index - What is hyperglycemia and how does it impact us? -

• Movement as medicine

• Nutrition and herbal medicine to prevent or reverse high blood sugar

What to bring:

- A pen and paper or journal for notes

- A yoga mat or cushion to sit on

- Curiosity, an open mind, questions for the speaker and community, and your most authentic self

* The circles are meant to be inclusive and interactive so be prepared to participate as much or as little as you would like.
