Topics:
1) Wait! It’s Not About the Weight
Are you tired of the diet craziness? Based on her book, Create the Body Your Soul Desires: The Girlfriends’ Guide to Body Image, Weight, Food, Energy and Sexuality, Dr. Wolfe gives women a whole new integrated way to manage their relationship to their bodies and re-claim their power. Dr. Wolfe advocates a female-friendly way to connect and cooperate with our bodies, using commonsense tools that women (especially girlfriends!) can relate to. Free from guilt and blame, discover the soul-stirring joy of a body that helps you life your life to the fullest!
2) Is Stress Making You Fat? – How to Break the Stress-Fat Connection and Reclaim Your Energy
It’s a fact: stress makes you fat. Chronically elevated levels of stress hormones not only stimulate appetite but also encourage intra-abdominal fat storage that can lead to serious illness. How you respond to stress determines your appetite, body composition and overall fitness level. Dr Wolfe teaches you how to re-balance your mind and body resulting in lasting changes in your total state of being.
3) Balancing Work and Life for Optimal Living
A recent study of more than 50,000 employees from a variety of manufacturing and service organizations found that two out of every five employees are dissatisfied with the balance between their work and their personal lives. Dr. Wolfe's presentation on work/life balance is designed to help participants make conscious choices to improve all dimensions of their health and well-being: physical, mental, emotional, social, vocational, and spiritual. Participants will see their lives in a different light, open their minds to new ways of thinking, and adapt behaviors that will not only improve their health, but will help them to achieve their personal and professional goals.
4) Never Too Thin – How to Stop Being At War with Your Body
Never before have so many people believed that the shape of their lives was determined by the shape of their bodies Commercialism encourages body worship. Youth rules. Thin rules! Yet this is not the norm nor is it desirable from a health standpoint. Dr Wolfe explains how the compulsion to be thin, far from counteracting weight problems, actually contributes to eating disorders and disordered eating. She shares her Conscious Body Method, a way to bring women back into wholeness and balance and allow them, as the title of her book indicates, to Create the Body Your Soul Desires. Learn to be comfortable, healthy and whole. |
