    Designed for healthcare professionals, the conference will explore how plant-based nutrition is changing medical practice in the U.S.

    logo_healthyworldsedonaSedona AZ (October 23, 2019) – On January 16-17, 2020, the 4th Annual Sedona Health and Nutrition Conference will take place at the beautiful L’Auberge de Sedona resort. Presented by Healthy World Sedona in partnership with Northern Arizona University Health Sciences and Northern Arizona Healthcare, this enlightening, educational event will showcase the latest research on food as medicine and the power of plant-based nutrition. Medical professionals may receive up to 10.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, and dietitians may receive up to 10.0 CPEUs for attending the conference, which will feature evidence-based presentations by leading national experts.

    Interest in plant-based nutrition is rapidly growing among patients and practitioners alike. As more research is publicized indicating that the plant-based diet may be capable of preventing or even reversing many of the most dreaded, deadly health conditions — including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and certain cancers — healthcare providers are increasingly turning to lifestyle medicine as a way to transform their patients’ lives. Attendees of the Sedona Health and Nutrition Conference will learn about the scientific links between diet and chronic disease prevention and control, as well as how to promote lasting behavior modifications that will encourage patients to adopt a plant-based diet and other healthy lifestyle changes.

    The conference will feature an impressive line-up of speakers with expert knowledge of the plant-based diet, including Michael Greger, MD and Doug Lisle, PhD. Dr. Greger is an internationally recognized professional speaker and author of the New York Times instant bestseller, “How Not to Die.” He has lectured extensively on key public health issues, appearing at the Conference on World Affairs, the National Institutes of Health, the International Bird Flu Summit, and many other notable forums. At the Sedona Health and Nutrition Conference, he will deliver a presentation entitled, “How Not to Die: The Role of Diet in Preventing, Arresting, and Reversing Our Top 15 Killers.” In addition to being a general practitioner specializing in clinical nutrition, Dr. Greger is a founding member and Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Greger’s latest nutritional research may be found at his site, https://nutritionfacts.org.

    Doug Lisle, PhD is the founder of Esteem Dynamics, a revolutionary, biological approach to human psychology and wellbeing. Heavily influenced by leading scholars like Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, Esteem Dynamics is the product of Dr. Lisle’s 25 years of clinical experience combined with deep insights into evolutionary psychology. Dr. Lisle is also the author of “The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health and Happiness,” which explores the factors that make humans susceptible to dietary and lifestyle excesses. He will be lecturing on “The Pleasure Trap” at the Sedona Health and Nutrition Conference. After serving on the research staff at the Department of Veteran Affairs at the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Dr. Lisle is now the Director of Research for the TrueNorth Health Center and a psychologist for the McDougall Wellness Program, both of which are located in Santa Rosa, Calif. 

    With education and inspiration from some of the nation’s top experts on the plant-based diet, attendees of the Sedona Health and Nutrition Conference will gain the insight needed to lead their patients and clients to true, lasting healing through lifestyle changes. Early bird tickets are available through December 15 at a rate of $260 for the full conference, $90 for Thursday only and $170 for Friday only.

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong

    Armstrong vs. Jablow: The Main Event
    Ready to Rumble

    By Tommy Acosta
    In the Blue Corner stands Scott Jablow and in the Red Corner of the ring stands Samaire Armstrong, ready to rumble to the bitter end in their fight to become the next Sedona mayor. Jablow weighs in with 1,137 primary election votes (36.13%) under his belt, having wielded his advantage as sitting Sedona City Council vice-mayor to his favor. He brings his years of serving in that capacity into the fray and waged a solid fight in his campaign to make it to the run-off. Armstrong, however withstood a blistering smear campaign from the other opposing candidates and their supporters to make it to the final bout with 967 votes under her belt (30.73%), an amazing feat for a political newcomer. Unfortunately, for the other two candidates, Kurt Gehlbach and sitting mayor Sandy Moriarty, neither put up enough of a fight to make it to the championship bout. Read more→
