Go Jane Go! - Katie Maxon - Wellness Specialist

You’re a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a co-worker, a boss, a neighbor, a church member, a volunteer… the list goes on and on. Busy women (which lets be honest is all of us, right??!!) wear many hats and usually have more responsibility than time. Striking a balance between all of our obligations, our desires and others’ expectations can be overwhelming. But it can be done. So, Relax Jane Relax – and get some great tips on how to create a better balance in your busy life.

 

10:00 - 10:45

 

It’s More Than Being Wrinkle Free - Igor Siniakov, MD

As women, we know that the appearance of our skin often times gives a clue to our age so we take care of our complexions! We want that healthy glow and seek the latest preparations to moisturize, camouflage, and glamorize to keep those wrinkles at bay for as long as possible. But healthy skin is so much more than being wrinkle free. This presentation will explain the types of skin cancer, how they are detected and treated, and how to prevent this all too common disease.

 

10:45 - 11:30

 

Simply Healthy Gourmet - Deb Gursky - Cuisine Art

The preparation of tasty and healthy meals for family and friends is perceived to be a contradiction. How can a meal be both good tasting and good for you? Some of us may also be struggling to find ways to build variety into our nightly meals but are finding it just too time consuming. So we resort to those quick and easy stand-bys that are not always most nutritious. This presentation will show you that even busy women can prepare gourmet meals in a healthy way … and please even the pickiest of eaters!

 

TRACK 2:  Health For Life

9:15 - 10:00

 

What’s The Thyroid For Anyways? - Adam Ryan, MD

The thyroid gland is a major player in our endocrine system. This presentation will explain its function, the difference between hypo and hyper thyroidism, and why it is so important to be watchful for certain symptoms that indicate a change in our thyroid function.

 

10:15 - 10:45

 

Caregiver Stress - Chaplain David Anderson

Many of us will find ourselves in the role of caregiver at some time in our lives – either for a parent or spouse. Whether we serve in this role for a short period of time or for years, we will find ourselves with unexpected challenges and conflicting feelings. Learn what to expect and how to take care of yourself … as you care for those you love.

 

10:45 - 11:30

 

When The Ouch Doesn’t Stop - Katherine Liao, MD

Aches and pains – we all start noticing more of them as we age. Many of us can alleviate the pain through common medications and moderate, regular exercise. However, for some, chronic spinal pain becomes a challenge to manage. Learn about the advances in pain management that are locally available to you and how they can favorably impact the quality of your life.
