It seems like everyone is talking about the importance of food, sleep, physical activity and emotional well-being, but where and how do you begin? How do you discern fact from fiction, marketing hype from science, and one-size-fits-all from the protocols that suit your lifestyle, goals and biology? 

Join us as integrative health experts, Susan Baumgarten and Alison Dwyer distill the Four Pillars into essential pearls to help you get started. Learn how food, sleep, physical activity and stress affect the body, the mind and the nature of the interaction between the two. 

Susan and Alison will lead you through a simple relaxation exercise, describe the fundamentals of healthy eating and restorative sleep, and demonstrate an exercise snack. You will also have the opportunity to do a simple self-assessment of your health, participate in an interactive ask-the-experts segment and watch us whip up healthy protein shakes.
