Last week I talked about how optimal health is not complicated and from a functional medicine standpoint there’s three steps to optimal health Maximize, Minimize and Prioritize.

Prioritizing self-care is absolutely my most challenging step and to do so I need to commit to planning time for me.  Last week after my talk in The Art of Healing Tent at Love Your Body Day my new friend Marcia Childress spoke about the benefits of Retreat.  We absolutely need to schedule time for ourselves for retreat, and three to four days is a perfect amount of time to feel grounded and rejuvenated.  Just like I advocate a quarterly cleanse, I also advocate a planned quarterly retreat.  Come join us in September and I promise you will leave with simple solutions you can implement at home, plus some newfound friends and savvy secrets.

Some of you have expressed an interest in our Self-Health Retreat September 25-28th in California at Asilomar in Monterey, California.  Commit and Book Now as we have a JUNE EARLY BIRD RATE available for all 4-days of classes and events $317 instead of $997.
