!["Treat the Person" - Soleil Acupuncture + Naturopathic Wellness](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/ep-logo/pbblog18017107/Soleil_and_Dave_300x300.jpg)

Host Dave MacNiven is joined by the team of Soleil Acupuncture + Naturopathic Wellness of Hamden, CT.
Soleil uses both eastern and western medicine; weaving together integrative, functional, and allopathic approaches.
Director Dr. Lyndsey Maher says that "Soleil was born out of this concept that it's not one or the other; it's both. And both can work together in harmony and there's no reason they shouldn't."
"We all require approaching things a little differently to treat the person." Says Christina Lakomski, APRN
Soliel not only offers Acupuncture and Naturopathic Medicine, but Aesthetics, IV Nutrient Therapy, Anti-Aging Treatments, and Craniosacral Therapy.
Briana Trudell, M.S.Ac., L.Ac. says, "It's two to three thousand-year-old medicine; so we're drawing on a lot of these older resources that are still relevant now. And using these basic principles, we can now apply an integrated approach; apply more western medicine on top of them in order to give someone the best care possible."
Soleil also offers to collaborate and partner with organizations to increase corporate wellness. Through their network of various other providers (personal trainers, health coaches, and chiropractors), they offer a well-rounded experience by hosting lunch-n-learns, evening education, and weekend workshops.

"Giving a Voice to Nonprofits" - Bernadette Welsh - Community Works Inc.
Monday Jun 03, 2024
Monday Jun 03, 2024
The podcast welcomes the Producer of Community Works, Bernadette Welsh to discuss how she provides a media outlet for local non-profits.
Bernadette shares her formula for how to structure a show that makes it easy to adapt to any organization. She feels, "It feeds the soul to say that you can do something that brings you joy." The philosophy of Community Works is: "When people help their neighbors, everybody benefits." Bernadette says the secret is listening to people, "What are they concerned about? Because if we assume what people are concerned about, we make a big mistake. It alienates people as well." She says, "I'd like to say that I give a voice to nonprofits."
Community Works airs on the local community access cable network NHTV and episode are available on demand through the video hosting site Vimeo.http://www.nhtv.com/https://vimeopro.com/northhaventv/nhtv-on-demand-videosYou can find the show on Facebook under Community Works Inc.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091497944203

"Take the 'Ex' out of Ex-athlete" - Roxie Perregaux - Healthy Moves For you
Monday May 27, 2024
Monday May 27, 2024
Board certified health & wellness coach, certified personal trainer, certified senior fitness specialist, and owner of Healthy Moves for You, Roxie Perregaux says we should "take the 'ex' out of ex-athlete."
Roxie encourages everyone, young and old, to do, "whatever it is that gets you up and moving and using those muscles; improving your positive attitude!" She recomends sports like pickleball, paddle ball, and bocce. "Grandparenting is a sport ... gardening can be a sport ... almost anything can be a sport if you have the sports-mind focus."
She says, "there's a lot of different types of self-care." Roxie says we should look to have a "bright open future of 20, 30, 40 years of being able to move, and get around, and play sports. Or play just with kids or even with just our pets, throwing a ball or getting out there in a park or beach, grabbing a couple of people and going for a walk; anything to keep us moving so that we can enjoy all these years.”
Healthy Moves for You provides in-person and virtual personal training, health coaching, and talks on longevity, women's health, and for caregivers on building foundations of fitness, nutrition, and self-care. Each talk has an optional workshop.
