Is Stress Making You Fat? – How to Break the Stress-Fat Connection and Reclaim Your Energy
It’s a fact: stress makes you fat. Chronically elevated levels of stress hormones not only stimulate appetite but also encourage intra-abdominal fat storage that can lead to serious illness. How you respond to stress determines your appetite, body composition and overall fitness level. Dr Wolfe teaches you how to re-balance your mind and body resulting in lasting changes in your total state of being. Contact us for more information!

What Your Doctor Does Not Know About Nutritional Medicine May be Killing You
Physicians are disease-oriented. In 1990 Americans spent $37.7 billion on prescriptions. In 1997 that spending increased to $78.9 billion. Prescription drugs have been the fastest growing portion of health care costs over the past decade. Less than 6 percent of graduating physicians receive any formal training in nutrition. Medical evidence is now showing us that the solution to chronic degenerative disease lies in the nutrition of the cell. This presentation delivers the scientific evidence about insulin resistance and inflammation in the body that creates diabetes, heart disease and many other chronic illnesses.

Balancing Work and Life for Optimal Living

A recent study of more than 50,000 employees from a variety of manufacturing and
service organizations found that two out of every five employees are
dissatisfied with the balance between their work and their personal lives. Dr. Wolfe's
presentation on work/life balance is designed to help participants make
conscious choices to improve all dimensions of their health and well-being:
physical, mental, emotional, social, vocational, and spiritual.
 Participants will see their lives in a different light, open their minds
to new ways of thinking, and adapt behaviors that will not only improve their
health, but will help them to achieve their personal and professional goals.

Trusting Your Gut: Beyond A Woman’s Intuition
Did you know that the “gut” is the only organ in the human body that contains an intrinsic nervous system and is often referred to as the “second brain”? Even more importantly, did you know that both brains –the one in our head and the one in our gut-must cooperate in order for you to understand their messages? Learn the latest about a wide range of gut problems such as irritable bowel disease, heart burn and colon cancer, and how you can learn to listen to your body and help heal yourself.

Never Too Thin – How to Stop Being At War with Your Body

What Every Woman (and man) Needs to Know About Menopause Hormone Replacement – What’s New, What’s true
It’s a joke until it happens to you.

What are the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy? Is it safe and effective? What is the link between HRT and breast cancer and heart disease? What about soy?

Listening to the Female Heart – The Whole Truth About Women and Heart Health

In addition, there is truly a connection between matters of the heart and the heart muscle. Dr. Wolfe goes into the unique aspects of heart disease in women – understanding, avoiding and surviving it – as well as the emotional and spiritual aspects.
