Healthy Warrenville

healthy warrenvilleRecently I was approached by a Warrenville citizen who was interested in starting a group called Healthy Warrenville. Similar groups are making a difference in West Chicago and other nearby communities. We discussed the ins and outs of starting such a group in Warrenville and decided that a grass roots approach would be best!

Our mission is:
To increase healthy eating and physical activity in Warrenville to make our city one of the healthiest communities in the region.
Our goal is the have a calendar of events that citizens can check out and get involved with as they choose. These could be anything from walks, bike rides, and kayaking to healthy cooking classes, gardening groups, stress management, and more!
 
We needed a way to share the events with those in the community (Warrenville and nearby), so we created a Facebook group. This is a public group, so anyone who is invited, who has the link, or who stumbles across it is free to join us. As events come onto our radar, we will post them on our Healthy Warrenville Facebook Group. I invite you to  join this group, so that you can take advantage of these events, get healthier, and have fun in the process!

Happy Holidays!

As 2017 comes to a close, I wanted to take a few minutes to wish you a safe and happy holiday, and a joyous New Year! I hope 2017 treated you well, and that 2018 is even better! Happy Holidays 2018

At the office, 2017 brought some exciting new changes. We did a big remodel, so thank you for pardoning our dust this summer. We also held our first set of Online Nutrition Bootcamp classes. If you missed these, the next one starts January 8, so stay tuned to learn more in the coming weeks. We truly appreciate all of you for your support over the years. We couldn't do what we do without our wonderful patients, friends, and family. 

On a personal note, our family is excited to announce that Dr. Jamie is pregnant and we are expecting the new little one to arrive sometime around May 2018!

Happy Thanksgiving!

fruit  traay shaped like a turkey for thanksgiving

 

Over the past few years, we've come up with a Thanksgiving tradition to make a fun and healthy appetizer -- shaped like a turkey. Last year I shared a picture of a veggie turkey with you. Here is a fruit turkey!   Just google turkey appetizer platter and you'll get LOTS of ideas. For those of you that use pinterest, this would be another great place to find lots of healthy and creative ideas. It can be a fun kids activity too. Try it, take a photo and share it on our facebook page!

In case you are still looking for the good real food recipes for tomorrow, here is a link to a previous years post with all sorts of healthy recipes! 

Finally, I know it seems obvious, but I want to remind all of you to remember what you are thankful for this holiday season. I am thankful for my family, friends, health, and of course my patients! If there is someone in your life who you are thankful for, be sure to tell them. They will be happy to know, and it is incredibly healthy for you to express thankfulness as well. 

Have a happy and healthy holiday!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Dr. Jamie and Dr. Jared
