Crescent Natural Health

Formerly known as America’s Walk for Diabetes, Step Out to Fight Diabetes is the fund-raising walk of the American Diabetes Association(ADA). All funds raised from Step Out to Fight Diabetes are used in support of the Association’s mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

Step Out to Fight Diabetes is a one-day walk that was born as the result of the need to take greater action in the fight against diabetes. The walk route follows the 2.7-mile paved pedestrian path around Bailey Bay in Seward Park, home to some 40 different species of bird, including eagles, woodpeckers, and owls, culminating at the shoreline of the park with a wonderful, fun filled party for friends and family to celebrate the day.

Gather all of your family, friends and co-workers and come out to help us raise funds to find a cure for a disease affecting more than 20.8 million Americans. With your help, we can provide research, programs, education and advocacy efforts for all people living with and affected by diabetes.

Following are the eight health hacks that I presented at the third Ignite Seattle. This Ignite was a blast- thanks to all who put it together!

Keep in mind that these are meant to be examples of some quick-acting natural approaches rather than representative of naturopathic treatment. Treatment plans are always more holistic and complex.

A video of the talk: ignitenight.blip.tv/file/199611/

Please contact me with questions or for further information.

On Thursday April 5th, I will be speaking at the third Ignite Seattle. The topic will be Health Hacks- natural medicine quick fixes. The format is fun and fast paced, with each speaker given only five minutes to speak, called Ask Later. The evening begins with some creative activity, called the Make Contest.

Ignite Seattle is a geek event that combines on-site geekery, sharing, and innovation. The Make Contest will begin at 6:30; the Ask Later talks will begin at 8:30. Videos and photos from the previous Ignite are available. Admission is free.
