CHANGING THE TIDE 7-WEEK LIFESTYLE MEDICINE COURSE

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


Presented by: Lauren Varney, MD, CHWC

Dr. Varney received her medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine and completed an internship in psychiatry at UMass. She is a certified health and wellness coach through Wellcoaches. Please visit her website at: www.steppingstonewellness.com.

As a medical student, Psychiatry Resident, and Urgent Care Physician early in her medical career, she learned all that she could about the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Since trading medicine for motherhood in 2006, her focus, energy, and passion have shifted from disease to health. Her desire to
understand and experience personally what it means to be well (physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually) has led to years of independent in-depth study and training in nutrition, lifestyle and integrative medicine, brain health, stress modification, and the faith and health Connection. Her passion for personal wellness and her desire to educate, equip, and support others are at the foundation of Stepping Stone Wellness.

 
Over the course of this 7-week series, participants will:
 • learn the importance of vision setting, goal setting, and motivation as a foundation for success. Participants will create their own personal wellness vision statement, set appropriate weekly goals, and learn to track their progress.
• receive nutrition education, organized topically (liquids, carbohydrates, protein, fats, fruits, and vegetables). Each participant will receive a copy of Eat Right For Life by Dr. Ann Kulze.
