Event details
Amy Burkhart, MD, RD, will discuss complementary approaches to the gluten free diet to help persons with celiac disease achieve wellness. Many persons with celiac disease still have lingering symptoms or other health issues even after starting a gluten free diet. Dr. Burkhart will use integrative medicine approaches and suggestions such as supplements, vitamins, exercise, mind body medicine, and homeopathy to help everyone achieve optimal health.
Dr. Burkhart is an emergency medicine physician, a registered dietitian, and studied Integrative Medicine with Dr. Andrew Weil. She is also a celiac herself, a parent of celiac children, and an active volunteer in North Bay Celiacs, for which she educates physicians and dietitians as part of the regional Celiac Disease Awareness Campaign.
We will have light gluten free refreshments and a free raffle to win a one-year subscription donated by Gluten-Free Living Magazine!
