It's that time of year when everyone wants to avoid getting sick. Especially around the holidays! This natural health talk will help people to see the evolution of our understanding of acute illnesses over time. During this educational talk, we will discuss various root causes of colds and flus, while providing accessible and effective tools to prevent and treat yourself. When you are equipped with this knowledge, you can begin to regain your health and vitality! Dr. Derek Reilly ND I spent my childhood years in a lovely area of New Hampshire, a small, rural town named Hollis. I spent much of my time outdoors and enjoyed many sports, especially soccer, which I played through my college years. During my teenage years, I became plagued by chronic illnesses that impacted me on multiple physical and emotional levels. While attending undergraduate college to attain a B.A. in Biology (focus in Pre-Med) and Minor Degrees in Philosophy and Chemistry (with Honors), I was exposed to new ideas and perspectives on science, medicine, and health. This allowed me to start my healing journey, expand my awareness, and discover my life path. I then chose to attend the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine (UBCNM), a 4-year doctorate-level medical program to help others with severe, chronic illnesses.   I continue to learn about natural medicine and healthful living through gardening, wild foraging, exploration, and developing better relationships with the local community. I strive to find the best ways to help people, learning from a diverse group, including indigenous cultures, hunters/gatherers, farmers, biochemists, physicists, and electrical engineers. I believe that happiness, fun, and love should be the main goals of life. This is why I focus on personal development with my partner, creating an enjoyable environment for children and attending music festivals where I can’t help but sing, laugh, smile and dance like nobody’s watching. https://dovernh.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/natural-health-talk-cold-flu-prevention-and-treatment/
