We are hosting a free movie night. Our theme this month is in taking real action to support permanent weight loss. On 1/12 we are starting a 9 day weight loss program and on 1/19 we are following that up with a 21 day detox program. The idea is to start the year off feeling inspired. On 2/12 will be our first Words & Wellbeing book club meeting. The book is about creating a conscious relationship with eating and food. On 2/19 we will have a celebration dinner and raffle with the people who have completed the programs. We have found that these events help us to support you in building community. People who are engaged in supportive relationships experience better health and quality of life. We want to support you in joyfully creating a network to support your life!
Space is limited. Please call or email alamedaacupuncture@att.net to reserve space for you and your guest.

One of the major concerns voiced to physicians today is fear of dementia. Worldwide nearly 36 million people are believed to be living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. By 2030, it is expected that this number will increase to nearly 66 million. Unfortunately, it is not widely known that the majority of dementia cases are preventable. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has much to offer in the area of dementia prevention and brain health. Yan De-xin is one of the leading doctors in the People’s Republic of China today. His theories on blood stasis and aging have revolutionized 2,000 years of TCM geriatrics. Traditionally, the aging process was largely ascribed to vacuity of the spleen and kidney. In the classics it says, ‘yang ming’s decline at age 35’. In modern practice, blood stasis is central to the TCM treatment of many of the diseases that affect the elderly.
Every year most people start with the same New Year’s resolution. This year we have a 9-Day Weight Loss program to support you in making it happen. By the time most people have abandoned their resolutions, you will have made significant changes in your health. Start the year off feeling inspired. Come to this talk if you have been previously frustrated in your weight loss efforts.
