Speaker: Christina Tidwell, Owner & Founder of Live Well with Christina
When your doctor says you are healed and your labs tests are "normal," but you still feel bad, where do you turn? Have you heard “Food is Medicine”?  Sorting through the “hype” online can be annoying and can leave us overwhelmed and confused. This is where Christina Tidwell, RN, MN, CHC, Owner and Founder of Live Well with Christina, steps in.  ​
Having experienced a debilitating autoimmune disease as a young adult, Christina learned how to address her ongoing symptoms and began to thrive again.  She is a Certified Autoimmune Health Coach and knows from her nursing background, that many of the concepts apply to people experiencing chronic diseases and or just wanting to feel better.  Discover the compelling science on the benefits of healthy eating, how to decipher the conflicting diet advice out there, and learn simple steps you can take to get your life back.
