East-West Integrated Healthcare and Havana Cigars of Anthem Announce
New Monthly Health Lecture Series for Men
-- Series Seeks to Help Men in Anthem, New River, Carefree and Phoenix North Valley Areas Achieve Health and Wellness Goals--

 Anthem, AZ, April 16, 2008 – In response to the increasingly stressful lives that many men lead, East-West Integrated Healthcare and Havana Cigars of Anthem announced today that they are launching Natural Medicine with Dr. Don, a new health lecture series to help men gain and sustain healthy lifestyles. 

Natural Medicine with Dr. Don is a series of free monthly educational gatherings that will teach men how to achieve optimal wellness using an integration of natural and prescription healthcare strategies.

The series features Dr. Don Underwood, doctor of naturopathic medicine (NMD) and adjunct faculty of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, who will lead discussions on a wide range of health topics.

“Statistically women see their family physician more often then men. This means that some men will spend more in a year on car maintenance than on health maintenance.  With any luck, our bodies will be around a lot longer then our cars.  This lecture series is designed to provide men with real strategies that they can use to protect and reinforce their health and wellness. Then return home to share this information with their families”.

Natural Medicine with Dr. Don series begins in May with a session on safe and effective weight loss, dieting, and exercise.  Subsequent sessions will feature topics such as heart disease, prostate health, andropause, pain management and more. All lectures are free and open to the public on Thursday evenings.

The complete lecture schedule includes the following topics:

• May 1: Wading through weight loss, a man’s guide to safe, effective dieting, weight loss, and exercise
• June 5: Treating the cause, and controlling the symptoms of Diabetes
• July 10: Prevention and treatment of sports injuries and alternatives to prescription pain management
• August 7: How to keep your prostate healthy
• September 4: Treating Adult ADD/ADHD and other mental health issues
• October 2: Heart health and other common alternative cardiovascular treatments
