Featuring Dr. Alison Lechner, DO

About the Event

Our human body is not merely a physical entity but a sacred gift where God’s spirit resides. As parents, it is our responsibility to model maintaining the sanctity , health and integrity of our physical selves. In our modern world of  genetically modified and ultra processed foods, chemicals and pollutants and technology, this task of maintaining health is becoming increasingly more challenging. In this talk, Dr. Alison Lechner will reveal the hidden, and not so hidden, factors that sabotage our families’ health and provide tangible and sensible solutions to the challenges we face.
