Diet, Detox and Drug Muggers

Its spring in the Northern Hemisphere! 

Time to think about the liver and detoxifying?

Please join us on Tuesday April 3rd, 2012 at 4pm pacific / 7pm eastern as we host Sheila Dean, DSC, RD, LD, CCN, CDE for a webinar entitled “Diet, Detox and Drug Muggers.” 

Dr. Dean will be discussing how food, medications, and a typical lifestyle tax our liver and overall health.  She'll discuss how the liver detoxifies these substances through a two-stage system, called Phase 1 and Phase 2 Biotransformation and Detoxification.  She'll also discuss how our genetic potential can enhance or impede our ability to detoxify.  She'll discuss current information on how a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) can affect your ability to detoxify.  And finally she'll discuss the basic concept behind functional assessment so that you can discover your own genetic roadmap.

She received her undergraduate training through Rutgers University, completed her internship and graduate training with University of Rhode Island and Brown University’s teaching hospitals, received doctoral training in nutritional genomics and pharmacology through the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) and completed her Doctorate of Science degree through Hawthorn University.

World Water Day

...water water everywhere? but can we drink it? Yesterday was World Water Day so lets take a moment to remember that globally 1 out of every 8 people lacks safe drinking water. While in the U.S. many of us are blessed with water that seems to just run from the tap. In my community (in what used to be a temperate rain forest) we are seeing less fall rain, and learning to collect and store water for use during the drier months. Also to share with the salmon and keep them alive. A few summers ago the Mattole River went dry and the fish trapped in small holes were unable to get away from predators.

Water is necessary for life and we don't just drink it, water is used for crops, livestock, inland fisheries and aquaculture and non-food crops including fibres and bio-energy crops, also sanitation, hydro-power and recreation. The United Nations General Assembly declared access to clean drinking water and sanitation a human right in 2010 but the investment firm Fidelity recently asked email recipients "Are you ready for water to become a globally traded commodity?" Have we killed the albatross? Or can we through good stewardship and paying attention maintain the good fortune we have to live on this beautiful blue planet.

Excellent presentation!  My head is spinning and I'm a little overwhelmed, but it's good and necessary information for launching and building a business.  It was especially helpful to hear what did NOT work for her as well as what did.


Excellent suggestions from someone whose been there and done the work.  I admire Karen.


Excellent presentation.


FINALLY, a marketing presentation that made sense for ME and my style!  First time I ever heard one, including workshops and a lot of money down the drain hearing about things that I would never do in a million years.  Thank you, Karen.  I really appreciate it!

Well done.  Thank you.
