What You Put on Your Yard Matters to Your Health
The chemicals that we are putting in our yards are now in every stream, river, and lake, and half of our well water. On Monday, Oct. 19, the Wilton Go Green/Wilton Library Association Green Speaker Series will feature “The Great Healthy Yard Project with Dr. Diane Lewis,” at 7 – 8:30 p.m..
Learn how these chemicals get from our yards to our taps, what they do to us and how, and learn ways to fix the problem. Diane Lewis, M.D. is the founder of the nonprofit organization, the Great Healthy Yard Project, and author of the book by the same name. A nephrologist and consultant in environmental health, she is a one-time organic farmer in the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks.

Lightening the Body’s Toxic Load Presentation
Dr. Loren Hager, a chiropractor with a practice in Wilton, will be holding a free presentation at Hello Yoga on “body purification.” The program takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m..
“I will be talking about my purification program which addresses how to lighten your body’s toxic load from the world surrounding us, as well as enhance your diet and nutrition to further improve one’s health,” Hager described in an email to GMW.com.
According to Hager’s materials, everyday people are exposed to thousands of environmental toxins. When a body is overloaded, it can’t deal with them efficiently and toxins build up. Hager says the program will show participants how to cleanse and remove naturally occurring toxins.
Space is limited; to register email Hager or call 203.858.7582. Hello Yoga is located at 80 Old Ridgefield Rd..
