Elizabeth Vaughan, MD, FAAEM 3:00 PM:
What can You Do About It? J o i n Dr .
How Polluted are YOU? Does it Matter?
Vaughan when she explores how the world AROUND us is actually now IN us. The CDC, the Environmental Working Group, and many others are measuring how chemicals brought to us by “Better Living through Chem-
istry” now collect in us—and our kids. Some people seem to not have any side effects from hundreds of chemicals in their bodies. Some scientists say that the levels are so low that it’s nothing to worry about. Others worry about toxic or cumu- lative effects in specific individuals with genetic predispositions. Some people definitely do get very sick with asthma from diesel fumes, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity from exposures to mold and formaldehyde, and multiple sclerosis from mercury toxicity. Are you at risk? What can you do? Learn how to protect your family in this chemical world.
Bio: A physician for almost 28 years, Dr.
Vaughan practices Integrative Medicine at Vaughan Medical Center in Greensboro, NC. She is board certified in Internal and Emergency Medicine, and expanded her studies beyond traditional medicine in the early 1990’s. She studied widely in anti- aging, nutrition, genomics, environmental medicine, bio-identical hormone therapy, food sensitivities, metal toxicology, and functional medicine. She is a 4th generation physician
on both sides of her family. She’s also a Magna cum Laude graduate of Duke with Distinction in Chemistry and attended medical school at UVA. She takes a wholistic approach and treats the causes, not the symptoms of patient’s problems. She uses the best of traditional and alter- native medicine for each individual pa- tient. Visit

Cleanse Your Body with Exercise
All of us are in training for something.
The problem is most of us are training to be overweight, inflamed, and ultimately toxic. How do you reverse this downward trend? Appropriate lifestyle choices, including the way we exercise, send hor- monal signals that speak directly to our genes enhancing our ability to detoxify and reverse the trend. Do you exercise? Are you doing
exercise to lose weight or lose fat? Is your exercise regimen optimizing your hormonal balance? Is the exercise you do enhancing your ability to detoxify? The correct type of movement, mimicking the exercise patterns of our ancestors, is the key to powerful hormonal effects that can greatly enhance your health. Join Keoni and Jade as they discuss
ways to improve detoxification utilizing their favorite medicine, exercise.
