This Saturday (January 18th) at 10 am I will be giving around a 45 minute talk on digestion at the office. I will go over the digestive process, different organs involved- and what they do, as well as stereotypical issues people have (acid reflux, bloating, gas, constipation, etc.) and what you can do to help! I will be going over some of the products I use in the office as well as tips for home!
Please email drcarolynmaxfield@gmail.com to RSVP so we know how many people to plan for.
ALSO!!!!!!
Immediately following we are going to have our first process group with Laura Ramey, LMFT. She has been with us for the past year and has had an amazing journey of her own. Both Laura and I have decided to team up to really help patients find comfort in each other’s stories (talking about both the physical and emotional side) and to learn and grow!
This is a place to hear what other people have/are going through and learn you are not alone! I am personally so excited about this. My hope is that this group gives everyone a chance to learn about different people’s stories (including my own) and the struggles we face and have overcome… as well as celebrate our accomplishments!!! I often find patients feel isolated in their health journey (that they have to eat differently, take supplements, trust that they don’t need to run to the doctor when their child has a cold and get antibiotics, stay away from sugars, understand and push through detox symptoms which works on you both physically and emotionally, etc.) and we are here to help! I would love to see everyone there even if you don’t want to talk or have anything to share! Just to be in a room of like minded people going through similar things is powerful and healing in itself!
From Laura- This process group will be a time for us to gather together and share our stories and personal experiences on our health journey. Because our bodies are so closely tied to the mental and spiritual aspects of our life as well, during our physical healing process some of us may have encountered other personal struggles like depression, anxiety, relationship tension, etc. One of the best healing strategies is to be in community and know you are not alone. Even though I am a licensed therapist, this time is not intended to be "therapy," rather a safe place to share your story, ask questions, and receive support from others like you on this path. You will not be required to share or do anything you don't want to do. Simply show up and be here with us if you would like! My hope for this time is to be laid-back, supportive, and informative - and to meet each of you where you are on your journey. I look forward to sharing this time with you!
We hope to see you this Saturday! Again- please email drcarolynmaxfield@gmail.com to let us know you will be there!
