HOLISTIC Approaches to Autoimmunity
|
In this group, you will be led through naturopathic treatments for autoimmune disease. There are two weeks between classes to allow you to work on making improvements in your health. Conditions covered in this class include rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease), lupus, psoriasis and more. If you have Hashimoto’s please sign up for the Hashimoto’s specific group.
This class combines education and naturopathic approaches to treating autoimmune disease with community support. Dr. Barrett recognizes that patients have better outcomes when they are supported by community and can share their experiences with peers. This class offers both support and education. This group is a good fit if you are new to naturopathic medicine and if you are already working with a naturopathic/functional provider. Each class is 75 minutes in duration and packed with information. |
Wednesdays
September 4th & 18th October 2nd, 16th & 30th and November 13th 7PM-8:15 PM Tuition: $350 |
