Expo 2012, Biggest Ever!

It was a stormy day with road closures, but it didn't stop the crowd. It was marked as our biggest event day ever. Nancy Ho from Dr. Ho's entertained our customers and patients for 7 hours, showing everyone the latest of Dr. Ho's pain relief products. We sold out our stock and had to issue rain checks! I was interviewed by Dan Henry from Heart FM who spent an hour on location. Many of our sponsors came to demo their latest natural supplements. My smoothie tasting and the healthy weight seminar by Elizabeth Stewart, RHN in the evening were also a hit. I think if it was a nicer day, we'd been even busier!

Another Successful Diabetes Clinic

November is Diabetes Month. Our Diabetes Clinic on last Saturday November 19th was another huge success. The clinic was sponsored by Lifescan, the maker of OneTouch Ultra2 meters. There were originally 7 appointments and all were taken up in a week. We opened 2 more spots and both were taken up soon after.

All our participants had a one-on-one diabetes education session with a RD/CDE, which took about 1/2 hour for each patient. Everyone learned about how to manage their condition with proper nutrition and blood glucose monitoring. All participants walked away with knowledge and a "Company's Coming Diabetic Dinner" cookbook!

We also provided a free sample of our gluten-free, low-glycemic whole grain, Cavena Naked Oats and a copy of the diabetes edition of Alive magazine to each participant. Special thanks to Anne Clark from Lifescan and Laurel, RD/CDE for spending the time with our patients.
