Anthem, AZ , March 1, 2008 – In response to the increasingly hectic lives that many women lead, East-West Integrated Healthcare and Curves of Anthem announced today that they are launching Natural Medicine with Dr. Jen, a new health lecture series to help women gain and sustain healthy lifestyles.

Natural Medicine with Dr. Jen is a series of free bi-monthly educational gatherings that teach health conscious women how to experience optimal wellness using natural healthcare strategies. The topics covered are holistic in nature and deal with both the physical and emotional aspects of wellness. The series features Jennifer Calvo, doctor of naturopathic medicine (NMD) and Director of the Western Clinical Science Department at Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture, who will lead discussions on a wide range of health topics. “Today's modern, fast-paced society has created an environment that results in women suffering biologically and psychologically with poor health,” Dr. Calvo said. “The new lecture series is designed to help counterbalance these environmental stresses by providing women with real strategies they can use to protect and enhance their health and wellness.” The Natural Medicine with Dr. Jen series begins in April with a session about therapies for Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. Subsequent sessions will feature topics such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, menopause, premenstrual syndrome, and more. All lectures are all free and open to the public.
