Wellness and Detox Program
Dr. Loren Hager, a chiropractor in Wilton Center, will be giving a free presentation on purification from body toxins and improving wellness. The presentation will take place at her office (120 Old Ridgefield Rd.) on Tuesday Jan. 12 at 7 p.m..
“My purification program 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. After completing the program, people often report feeling more energy and vitality, better digestion and less bloating, clearer skin, better sleep and improved weight management along with other benefits,” she says, adding, “Daily exposure to toxins, including pollutants and diets high in processed foods, can ultimately disrupt the body’s endocrine, immune, nervous and reproductive systems.”
