with Kathy McNeely, MS, CNS, LDN
Nutritionist & Health Coach
This fall Center Point Healing will offer a 2-day detox workshop series exploring the health benefits of detoxification. Participants will receive all they need to prepare and carryout a successful seven-day cleanse and will be supported in their own detox experience by Kathy McNeely, a licensed nutritionist.
Meetings:
1- Introductory Workshop: Thursday, septmber 24 at 7:30 pm at Center Point Healing
The first workshop takes place 2 days before the detox begins; it will highlight the specific health benefits of detoxing as well as prepare participants for what they might expect. Participants will be fully prepared with a detox protocol, shopping list, recipes and self-care tips for their own detox.
Many of the above materials will be sent to the participant 6 days before the detox begins via a password-protected website. Participants are encouraged to use the six days before the detox to stock their home with whole foods and other detox supplies and to reduce their sugar and caffeine intake (doing so will minimize strong reactions your body may have during the detox).
2- Teleconference:Sunday, September 27 at 7:30 pm
Participants will have the option to check in via telephone to discuss their first two detox days.
3- Final Meeting Thursday, October 1 at 7:30 pmat Center Point Healing
This meeting will serve as a second check-in and will prepare participants to end the detox. Participants will learn more about the changes their bodies and minds will have gone through during the detox, and will receive tips and advice on how to reintroduce foods, tools for observing body reactions, guidelines for how and when do their own future detox, and suggestions on how to continue eating “clean.”
Email support: Participants will receive email communications from Kathy throughout the week of preparation and detox including messages of encouragement, recipes, ideas for self-care, journaling tools or tips to help increase awareness and get the most from the detox.
Connection & Sharing: A Facebook page will be created for participants to share struggles, support, ideas, discoveries and recipes. Participation in this group is optional, and it will be moderated by Kathy McNeely to help with questions and concerns that arise during the detox.

With autumn approaching and the beginning of the yin cycle, the energy of plants is moving down into their roots, helping the body become aware of the energy of the season. This season is a time for the body to begin gathering energy for the colder months to come.
For people with psoriasis, suffering from painful symptoms like inflamed, flaking and red skin is not pleasant. The chronic skin condition is due to an overactive immune system that can be triggered by a number of internal and external factors. Many Western treatments include steroid creams and oral medications that come with a slew of unwanted side effects.
Commonly known as TMJ, temporomandibular joint pain affects over 10 million Americans and can involve difficulty chewing, jaw muscle stiffness and painful popping or clicking, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.
Many of us have already experienced or will experience some amount of hearing loss. This can be due to aging or noise-induced factors. Exposure to loud sound over time can permanently damage the ears and result in hearing loss.
There is a difference between being in top physical shape and holistically healthy. Some people may be in great athletic shape, but actually neglecting their body’s other internal health needs.
Arthritis is a painful and oftentimes debilitating condition that’s characterized by inflammation within one or more joints. According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 2 people will develop osteoarthritis of the knee by the age of 85. It’s important to note, however, that there are several different types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis being just one. Other common types include rheumatoid arthritis, gout, septic arthritis, Still’s disease, and ankylosing spondylitis.
Do you suffer from allergies or asthma? It’s a little-known fact that these two conditions are directly linked to each other. Asthma, which affects roughly one in 12 people according to the CDC, is characterized by spasms of the small airways and inflammation. Furthermore, about 90% of children under the age of 16 with asthma have allergies, while 70% of people between the ages of 16 and 30 have allergies, and 50% of adults over the age of 40 have allergies.
