SOPHIA Natural Health Center in Brookfield has announced two free lectures to be held at the New Milford Library on July 16 at 6:30pm and the C.H. Booth Library in Newtown on July 30 at 7pm. Kenneth Hoffman, SOPHIA’s medical director, will present an Introduction To Chinese Medicine and Women’s Health in conjunction with his first book, Essential Remedies For Women’s Health - What Every Woman Needs to Know to Heal, Prevent Chronic Disease, and Design a Plan for a Healthier Lifestyle. The book, co-authored by Hoffman and 11 Connecticut natural health practitioners, will be available for purchase and signing. 

Over 80 million women in the U.S. currently suffer with conditions such as PMS and hormone imbalance. Many are confused as to which health options are available or even right for them. Hoffman will speak about holistic approaches and natural alternatives to women’s health-related concerns such as hormone imbalances, menopause, osteoporosis, heart and breast health, weight loss and stress. 

SOPHIA Natural Health Center, a natural health and wellness clinic, combines the traditional healing arts of Chinese medicine with modern science to help patients deal with women’s health issues, environmental allergies, food intolerances, chemical/environmental toxicity, and chronic inflammation and pain in the body.

For reservations, call New Milford Library at 860-355-1191 or C.H. Booth Library at 203-426-4533. For more information, visit SophiaNaturalHealth.com. SOPHIA Natural Health Center is located at 31 Old Route 7, Brookfield. See Community Resource Guide listing, page 73.
