TOPICS AND SPEAKERS PROGRAM

	‘FRESH + FAST – How to survive and cook healthily in the real world’ Teresa Cutter, Qualified chef, nutritionist and founder of The Healthy Chef Our lifestyle can be pretty hectic these days from trying to excel in our career, fitting in time to exercise and spending quality time with your partner and friends. The oft-delivered excuse for people not cooking or eating right is lack of time. Well, that won’t wash anymore. The healthiest recipes are often the easiest to make, and just by taking control of your kitchen and with a little strategic planning, you can create delicious, quick + healthy meals that could literally save your life. Teresa’s recipe demonstration will show you how. A dynamic, inspirational and practical recipe demonstration designed to inspire.
	‘GERSON THERAPY – A unique opportunity for recovery’ Jo Thompson, RN, natural medicine health practitioner Having recovered from brain cancer herself and having seen the suffering of patients in palliative care, Jo developed a passion for educating and motivating people to wellness and empowering them to become healthy. Jo will outline the four aspects of Gerson Therapy. In particular, she will give guidance for how to initiate and implement the program. Jo has brought Gerson to NSW by setting up her own live-in clinic at Forresters Beach near Terrigal, where people can stay and be shown how to commence the Therapy. After leaving the clinic, a person’s progress is monitored and supported.
	‘MIGRAINE AND OTHER HEADACHES – What you can do’ Dr Carole Hungerford, GP with a strong interest in natural health. Headaches are regularly seen by GPs. They can be a sign of serious illness, but more commonly, are classified as “tension headaches” or “migraine”. Many of us rarely suffer headaches, but there are others whose lives are dominated by them. Medication can become a way of life. For as many as one in ten of us, migraine and tension headaches are debilitating health issues. Many people are grateful for ‘rescue’ medications, but this talk is about identifying dangerous headaches, reasons behind headaches and prevention and treatment without depending on the medicine cabinet.
	‘THE REAL HEALTHCARE CHALLENGE – Lessons from our children’ Leslie Embersits, Yale University graduate and Founding Director of Mindd. Australian children are struggling with an ‘epidemic’ of chronic illness, particularly ADHD, allergies, asthma, autism, childhood cancers, diabetes, obesity and depression. Modern diseases are driven by environmental factors, including diet, exercise, lifestyle, pollution and radiation. Addressing these underlying causes can greatly improve physical and mental health, while reducing the risk of future disease and the need for medication. The Mindd approach addresses these underlying causes through integrative healthcare which integrates a wide range of natural therapies and offers environmental and lifestyle education to restore the body’s natural ability to grow, heal and prevent disease.
	‘OH MY ACHING BACK!’ Greg Fitzgerald, Naturopath, Osteopath and Chiropractor with 30 years experience. Greg will present practical nutritional and lifestyle strategies for overcoming back and neck pain. As an osteopath and chiropractor trained to deal with joint and muscle problems and with around 50% of his patients presenting with musculo-skeletal problems, Greg has had a great deal of experience and success in treating back and neck pain. Because Greg is also a three-year-trained naturopath, patients can expect a truly wholistic recovery. After the consultation, which includes personalised physical treatment, the patient is given nutritional and lifestyle advice, which means a quicker and less costly recovery.
