Digestion Connection:
Community for People with Digestive Distress
Dealing with a digestive health issue can be challenging as it is. Add to it isolation, stress and changes due to the pandemic/social unrest, and our well-being and ability to stay optimistic may be suffering. Unless we have friends or family members who have similar health challenges, navigating our health journey can feel burdensome and lonely at times.
Coming together in community with people dealing with similar health issues is so healing. Digestion Connection sharing circles are a way for us to freely share our experiences and feelings in a warm, non-judgmental environment. Sharing Circles are an ancient and sacred process of gathering to discuss, learn, support, and connect with one another in community.
During this interactive and healing Digestive Connection circle, we will:
Join Dawn Preisendorf – functional nutritionist, gut health expert, and experienced sharing circles facilitator -- for this special opportunity to support yourself and connect with others going through similar experiences.
Held at 5:15 PM PST on Oct. 28, 2020

Life Chiropractic welcomes back nutritionist, Dawn Preisendorf, with an amazing talk on Inflammation and Taming it with Nutrition from the Inside Out. (Also some special highlights on Autoimmunity)
Inflammation – we most often think of inflammation when we’re suffering from pain, whether it be joint, muscle, head or body pain. But inflammation can also show up as a bloated belly, skin rashes, foggy brain, bad moods, autoimmune conditions, and more. Plus, clinical research is revealing that inflammation is implicated in whether we develop chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and more.
Join us to learn how to tame inflammation, whether you’re experiencing health challenges now or want to be sure you prevent them in the future. Dawn will share:
• Hidden causes – and effects -- of inflammation
• Natural approaches to reducing pain
• Why managing inflammation is critical if you have an autoimmune condition
• Foods that can trigger or tame inflammation
Dawn will also be offering special gifts to attendees, so don’t miss it! Space is limited, so RSVP here, or call the Life Chiropractic office at 510-594-9994.

Maybe you've gone gluten free, eliminated sugar and processed foods, or perhaps undertaken an Autoimmune Paleo or GAPS diet...but you're still not feeling as well as you would like. What to do?
While a healing diet is an integral part of balancing your gut, eliminating food sensitivities, reducing autoimmune activity, decreasing inflammation and more, sometimes it's not enough. If you've tried changing what you're eating and it's not quite working, you'll want to join us for this Meetup.
Functional Nutritionist Dawn Preisendorf will share secrets to successfully using a healing diet to return to health, and how you can personalize your plan to meet your unique needs.
As we do at every meeting, we’ll also share tips, experiences and recipes for THRIVING on a gluten-free, anti-allergenic, elimination, Paleo, low FODMAP or anti-inflammatory diet. Following a healing diet can often feel isolating, so people love the opportunity to connect with others on a similar path.
Whether you’ve recently adopted a healing diet, have been doing it for awhile, or are exploring possibilities, there will be something for you at this Meetup. You'll also walk away with practical eating and lifestyle tips, recipes, new insights, and most importantly...optimism about the healing path you're on.

Eating & Acupressure for Health: Enhancing Digestion
As a nation, we take an extraordinary amount of over-the-counter and prescription drugs for reflux and other digestive issues. Join special guest, Dawn Preisendorf, to learn how your food choices can help heal and strengthen the WHOLE digestive system. Dawn will share her best eating secrets to heal your gut and keep your belly happy.
Karen Zojaji, L. Ac. will also discuss some common acupressure* points for help with digestive challenges and introduce some important dietary considerations. Gastric acid will be specifically addressed. Often, poor digestion and reflux are assumed to be due to high acid. However, many people experience these conditions due to low acid--which is only aggravated by anti-acids as a long term treatment.
*Acupressure utilizes major acupuncture points to affect changes in the body. Pressure is applied, usually with the fingers, but sometimes with other pressing tools. Various means of stimulating the points will be demonstrated and practiced.
RSVP TODAY and begin healing and strengthening your body from the inside out!

This spring, clean from the inside out. Join nutritionist Dawn Preisendorf, MA, NC, CHWC, and chiropractor Amy Markhoff, DC on Monday, April 11th and learn eating and lifestyle practices to:

Health - Reboot Workshop in San Ramon
Join me in San Ramon Jan. 26th at 6 p.m. PST
Here's what we will cover:
- Keep toxins from sapping your energy, creating body pain and blocking weight loss
- We live in a chemical soup - there are more than 90,000 chemicals in circulation and more being approved every day. We'll talk about how toxins might be keeping you from feeling great and losing weight, and what you can do about it.
- Get better sleep tonight...naturally
- Good sleep is a challenge for just about everyone I talk to. And poor sleep sets us up for low energy, weight gain, difficulty in thinking clearly and more. Before you get hooked on that sleeping pill prescription, learn how to sleep like a baby again without drugs.
- Slash sugar and carb cravings
- I know, sugar and carb cravings can be maddening. And many of us wonder why we can't seem to break the habit. We'll explore underlying reasons that make it difficult or impossible to break sugar habits through willpower alone, and I'll provide tips for kicking cravings to the curb.
If you'd like more info now about our Real-Food Detox, or know you want to sign up, check out this page
Hope to see you at the FREE Health-Reboot Workshop on Jan. 26th at 6pm in San Ramon!

7 - 9 p.m.
953 Mountain View Dr, Lafayette, CA 94549, at New Dawn Wellness's Lafayette office
The holidays can be a time of indulgence, and then January hits. Many women find themselves starting a new diet that’s “guaranteed” to work, getting a gym membership, or doing a juice cleanse. These are all healthful steps, but how much does this January look like last January? And what happened along the way to last year’s new diet or superfood that was going to change everything?
Let’s make this year different.
Instead of falling into the diet trap, join us to learn how to empower yourself to true health for years to come. Dawn will be illuminating what gets in the way of our ability to lose weight, debunking common health myths, and supporting you in creating long-term health through food.
We’ll explore:
• 3 surprising myths about what “healthy eating” is
• 2 invisible factors that can sabotage your ability to stay healthy and maintain a healthy weight…and what to do about them
• How to make it easy and fun to eat healthy for the long haul
• Why true nourishment extends far beyond what we eat
This will be a lively, interactive Meetup, and you’ll be sure to take away sustainable healthy eating tips that you can implement right away.

THRIVE During the Holidays on a Healing Diet
Survive and THRIVE on a Healing Diet, November meeting
November 24, 2014 7-8:30 p.m.
At New Dawn Wellness's Lafayette office: 953 Mountain View Drive
The holidays can be a challenging time to be on a healing diet. Temptations abound, and it can be easy to eat foods that we know make us feel ill or cause us to move away from rather than toward our health goals.
I've definitely been there - I am gluten and dairy free and have spent one too many Christmases eating mom's homemade cookies that are out on the counter taunting me 24/7. As a result, I spent much of those holidays in a haze and in pain. But I operate differently now. From my own experiences, working through challenges with my clients, and a holistic, mind-body nutrition education, I've learned ways to stop self-sabotaging during the holidays, and can now enjoy them a whole lot more. Join me to learn how, share your tips and experiences, and get support as we move into the holidays.
The cost is $20, or $10 if you bring a gluten and dairy free snack to share. Hope to see you there!

The WOW Talks Lafayette Chapter - October Meeting
Dawn Preisendorf hosts this monthly gathering of women who want to invest in their own wellness, success and fulfillment, and support others in doing the same.
Our next meeting is Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. at New Dawn Wellness's Lafayette office.
Our Oct. speaker is Lisa Morningstar, and the featured topic is The FUNdamentals of Creating Strong Connections.
As women, we use our innate feminine abilities to give and receive support, to connect with others and to enrich friendships. We know that the strength of our relationships -- both in business and our personal lives -- can make or break how successful, happy, and at peace we feel. Even so, we may still notice our stomach tightening as we walk into a crowded networking event, avoid a girlfriend we’re frustrated with, or navigate a conversation with our partner in a less-than-productive-way.
Our October Meetup is an opportunity to celebrate the power of connection and develop skills to deepen connections in a unique and expansive way.
Lisa Morningstar will lead us in playful exercises that:
• Give us a way to develop rapport more quickly
• Induce creativity, bonding and laughter
• Boost your sense of freedom
• Express your individuality
• Help us collaborate and move forward with a plan.
You will walk away feeling refreshed and alive. And you’ll take home some new communication tools and playful exercises that you can easily integrate into your personal and professional life. Join us!

Tasty, Easy Substitutions for Allergenic Foods
Survive and THRIVE on a Special Diet, October meeting
October 27, 2014 7-8:30 p.m.
At New Dawn Wellness's Lafayette office: 953 Mountain View Drive
Sometimes when we begin a healing diet, we're have to leave out foods that we were used to eating...which causes us to spend a lot of time experimenting and worrying about what to eat instead. We find that a lot of allergen-free packaged foods aren't as healthy as we'd like, but we don't want to spend all day in the kitchen. Even if we've been following a healing eating plan for awhile, we can sometimes get into a rut, or miss foods that we used to eat way back when.
This month's Survive and THRIVE on a Healing Diet is dedicated to helping you eat healthy and satisfying foods, and enjoy food without feeling deprived or chained to your stove. We'll share tons of tasty, healthy and satisfying food substitutions for people who following a gluten free, anti-inflammatory, low-allergen, Paleo or other healing diet.
Nutritionist and health coach Dawn Preisendorf will be joined by Ryannah Tannarome, who began cooking healthy, tasty food about the same time she started walking. When Ryannah learned she was gluten intolerant and experienced health challenges - she upped the ante - experimenting with healthy, tasty and easy dishes free from grains and common allergens. Ryannah has got the goods on staying satisfied while on a healing diet without spending hours in the kitchen...and she's ready to share, so don't miss this meeting!
As always, you'll walk away with practical eating and lifestyle tips, recipes, new insights, and most importantly...optimism about the healing path you're on. Join us!

The WOW Talks Lafayette Chapter

Our next meeting is July 21 at 7 p.m. at New Dawn Wellness's Lafayette office
Our July speaker is Lina Quesada, and the featured topic is Fail More!
Fail More! addresses the need to re-define the old belief in fear of failure that no longer serves our 21st century consciousness – Shifting to one that recognizes the value of failure, as information, clarity and an opportunity to make a different choice or correction. Lina Quesada, licensed Spiritual Counselor, will address the necessity for failure and the inspiration that comes from being in the “I don’t know” of life.
About the speaker:
Lina Quesada RScP, a licensed Spiritual Counselor, is currently based out of the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living in CA. She came to the bay area from the highly esteemed Agape International Spiritual Center in L. A. founded by Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith, featured on Oprah and in the film, “The Secret”.

Women & Stress: The Power of Connection

Our next meeting is June 16 at 7 p.m.
Our June speaker is Dawn Preisendorf:
Women & Stress: The Power of Connection
We’ve heard about the “fight or flight” theory of stress response, but it turns out that doesn’t tell the whole story for women. As women, the ways we go about managing stress matter. Learn the unique needs women have for mitigating stress, and why meaningful connection with others is essential for our well-being. During this Meetup, we'll have plenty of time to share, dream, and experience what less stress in our lives looks and feels like. Join us to learn more, and leave with tools and inspiration to stay relaxed, optimistic and balanced in your own life!

We’ve heard about the “fight or flight” theory of stress response, but it turns out that doesn’t tell the whole story for women. Newer studies find that for women, meaningful connection with others is essential to keep stress from getting the best of us. Join us to learn more -- leave with specific practices to alleviate stress in “everyday life” when a spa day or retreat is nowhere in sight.

Our May speaker is Marta Maria Marraccini:
Eat, Pray and Self Acceptance? Understanding the difference between self esteem and self acceptance will radically and positively impact your life. Self Acceptance is magical in that it can GIFT you freedom and spaciousness from the prison of your negative self talk, and sabotage behavior. That’s EXCELLENT news! But how do we accept ourselves? Our special guest speaker Marta Maria says, “Self Acceptance isn’t a destination but rather it’s a personal growth path. Because let’s face it, if we could all just choose self acceptance…we would.” So if you have a desire for more FREEDOM and a willingness to integrate playful tools you may be asking yourself, “ What is Self Acceptance?” and “How can I get some?” Ladies, join us May 19th for a captivating evening as Marta Maria reveals her self acceptance secrets through understanding Quantum Belief, psychosocial studies, and the power of your own consciousness.
