FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 29, 2015 Joyful Belly Ayurveda, Inc. Contact: John Immel (828) 785-8213 john@joyfulbelly.com What is hunger, and where does it come from? Is hunger an emotion or a feeling? And why is it that so many of us are afraid of our own hunger? Join keynote speaker John Immel, founder of Joyful Belly, at the Ayurveda Food & Nutrition Conference this May 13-16th in Carnegie, PA. There he will discuss his latest book, "Explore Your Hunger." From appetite to cravings, from emotional eating to biology, this talk will give you practical ways to explore and heal your psycho-somatic interaction with food, using your hunger as a guide. This presentation is especially suited for students and practitioners interested in disordered eating or disordered hunger, emotional eating, and clinical approaches to unruly food cravings. John created Joyful Belly to recast Ayurveda in the context of American food traditions. He directs Joyful Belly's Mastering Ayurvedic Digestion & Nutrition e-course, a 500 hour certification program for health professionals who wish to specialize in food, nutrition, and digestive tract disorders. The program has been accredited by both the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America. First and foremost a teacher, you will find that John's presentations are rich with anecdotes. Despite the seriousness of the topic, you will find he maintains a sense of humor when discussing the blood and guts of health. This humor often comes at his own expense, which he hopes you will enjoy! Register here to attend the conference. Or, if you can't make the conference, you can study with John online in the Explore your Hunger Winter Weight Loss Workshop or Basics of Self Care Series.
