Health and Wellness Talks

• Nutrition
  Included in this discussion are the USDA's dietary recommendations for fruits and vegetables.  Each group of fruits and vegetables is organized by color, and then color is used to correlate the fruits/vegetables with the organs of the body that they help to support and function.  Also, processed foods will be discussed with reference to how they impede the body's natural function.  Processed foods, although easy to prepare and consume, do more harm to our bodies than we realize!!  Don't believe us?  Check out the Movies "SuperSize Me" and "Fast Food Nation!"
  
  
• Fruit and Vegetable Juicing
  Have you heard of the Cloonan Wellness Juice yet?  Here is your chance to see first-hand a demonstration of juicing by Dr. Cloonan with samples for all who attend.  Included in the discussion are the 12 fruits and vegetables that Dr. Cloonan combines for his special recipe, why each was chosen, as well as what organs are supported by these fruits and vegetables. 
  
  
• Stress Reduction
  STRESS!!! What's that?? We all have to deal with stress, but how we deal with it is the topic of discussion here.  Dr. Cloonan discusses the major causes of stress in our lives (physical, emotional, chemical, etc...) and the effects stress can cause on our mental health, our organs and our body's overall function.  Also discussed are concrete examples of ways to reduce stress through exercise, meditation, improved eating and sleeping habits, and alternative medicine.
  
  
• Alternative Medicine
  Alternative Medicine is growing by leaps and bounds in popularity among Americans.  People are searching for alternative methods of getting out of pain and improving their overall health without the use of drugs or surgery.  Dr. Cloonan will discuss how alternative medicine can change you life for the better, helping your body to function on its own, the way nature intended.  The Bio Cranial System, Dr. Cloonan's specialty, will be discussed.  The bio Cranial System originated with an Irish Osteopath in 1988.  It is still very new to the United States, and is one of the best holistic healthcare techniques around!  Learn more about The Bio Cranial System here!
  
  
• Weight Loss
  Do you know how much just a few extra pounds can stress your bones, joints, and tax your internal organs?  It seems like we all are so busy that we don't take the time to eat or exercise correctly.  We munch down quick, processed meals, do not have set exercise routines, come home exhausted after work and anchor the couch down and wonder why we pack on the pounds!!  Dr. Cloonan will discuss healthier eating habits and exercise to encourage weight loss. 
  
  
• Liver Cleanse
  TOXINS! They're EVERYWHERE!
  Do you or have you eaten processed foods, non-organic fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry that is not free-range, and/or genetically-altered food?  Ever use artificial sweeteners?  Do you drink soda? Do you eat fast foods and/or eat out regularly? Do you drink coffee regularly?  Do you drink alcohol and/or tap water?  Do you charbroil or grill foods?  Most all of us are guilty of one or more of these habits!!  Did you know that eating/drinking in this way can greatly contribute to your toxic load within your own body?  We are also exposed to many other irritants, such as cigarette smoke, pollution, hair dyes, dry cleaning fluids, cosmetics, exhaust fumes, soaps, perfumes, cleaners, and drugs.  All of this repeated exposure can have you feeling less than your optimal self.  They can also contribute to weight gain, excess fatigue or difficulty sleeping, poor digestion, cravings for certain foods, impaired thinking, and low libido!!  Dr. Cloonan will discuss ways to purify our body of the toxins and how to help to rebuild itself naturally.
