Girl talk: Make your health a priority

As the season’s festivities recede and the New Year is upon us, our thoughts naturally turn to the future. It’s a time to reflect on the changes we want to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. For many, this means making New Year’s resolutions and January is a great month to start working on your healthy commitments for the coming year. To assist you in reaching your health goals, NaturoMedica doctors Naomi Bryant ND, Tammy McInnis ND and Jill Monster ND will host an afternoon seminar to answer questions regarding women’s health. The Girlfriends’ Talk, titled “Women’s Health After Age 35” will be held from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 31. at the Golf Club at Newcastle, 15500 Six Penny Lane.
