KALONA

One to One Pharmacy and Wellness owner David McDanel provides a needed service to those who require medication to support their health; however, his ideal is a world in which the majority don’t require prescription drugs to live long and prosper. For many, that ideal is not out of reach, he believes; one need only put into practice lifestyle changes that support wellness.

To help community members learn how they might address the root causes of their symptoms and create the conditions in which they might thrive, McDanel will present his “Achieving Wellness” series of 45-minute learning sessions at the Kalona Public Library starting this fall.

Two sessions will be offered in September. On Wednesday, Sept. 4 at 1 p.m., McDanel will present, “Patient, Heal Thyself,” a discussion of the body’s natural ability overcome health challenges. In this session, he will discuss both gene theory and germ theory – ideas that disease results from faulty genetic structures or from infectious microorganisms, respectively – and offer suggestions for how one might create for the body the optimum environment to induce health and healing.

On Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 5:30 p.m., McDanel will present “You’re Not Sick, You’re Thirsty,” a discussion of the causes and symptoms of dehydration, and how to restore the body to balance through proper hydration.

Additional sessions in this series are expected to continue in November.

Both September sessions of the “Achieving Wellness” series will be held at the Kalona Public Library at no cost. All are welcome to attend, and registration is not required.
