With Andrea Bortolussi RHN

Do you remember a time when schools allowed peanuts in the classroom?  Do you ever wonder what exactly is an allergy and what might it be doing to your body?  Do you suspect you may have an allergy or sensitivity that is preventing you from feeling your absolute best on a daily basis?  If so, then this talk is for you!  Discover allergies and intolerances from a holistic perspective and learn about ways to naturally help treat and alleviate the symptoms associated with many common allergy reactions!

This presentation will teach:

• What is an allergy and what is an intolerance, and how they are different
• What happens to our body when we are exposed to an allergen or stressor
• Why intolerances are more common now than ever before
• Different options for alleviating symptoms and overcoming allergies
• Andrea's story about finding relief from seasonal allergies after years of suffering
