When: Wednesday, April 17th 6:00pm - 7:45pm

Where: Hazelnut Naturopathic Health 4655 14 Mile Rd. NE Ste. B Rockford, MI 49341

Description: "Narrated by Katie Couric, Fed Up blows the lid off everything we thought we knew about food and exercise, revealing a 30-year campaign by the food industry - aided by the U.S. government - to mislead and confuse the American public. Exposing the hidden truths contributing to one of the largest health epidemics in history, the film follows a group of families battling to lead healthier lives - and reveals why the conventional wisdom of "exercise and eat right" is not ringing true for millions of people struggling with diabetes, childhood obesity, and other serious conditions. Including captivating interviews with the country's leading experts, this vital information could change the way we eat forever."

Homeopathy Course

HomeopathyWhen: June 2024

Where: Hazelnut Naturopathic Health Rockford, MI 49341

Description:  Homeopathy is a natural therapy developed over 200 years ago in Germany. Used around the world by millions, it is based on the idea of "like cures like" meaning the substance which causes the similar symptoms to those being suffered, can help the body recover and rebalance itself. It also works on the idea of less is more, meaning the more dilute the remedies, the more potent its ability to support the body's own innate healing processes. This course will help you understand what homeopathy is, what it is not, and how it may help support you and your entire family's health.

RSVP Coming Soon!
