The keynote headliner for Holistic Community Professionals’ (HCP) The Passport to Health & Wellness Expo on May 5 is Jefferey Jaxen, an investigative reporter for the internationally available weekly podcast, The Highwire.com. Jaxen’s Navigating Health Choices in Uncertain Times keynote speech will bring his in-depth reporting and investigative journalism to the expo at 1 p.m. The expo will take place at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Bristol, Connecticut.

Jaxen will share the information discovered from over a decade as an investigative health journalist. From consumer products to common medical interventions, get a factual view of the other side of the conversation corporations would rather you not hear. His lecture will have a slide presentation as well as a Q&A following his lecture.  

Jaxen is a researcher, investigative journalist and writer consistently on the front lines of the health, wellness and news sectors for over a decade. An early adopter of “new media,” he has shared his talents to create a unique online brand of health journalism working to spotlight the untold, censored and under-reported stories of our time. Jaxen’s investigative voice, original content and reporting abilities are now a staple for people walking their own unique paths investigating the world around them.  

The expo is free to the public. A limited number of reserved seats will be offered for $20 per person with the proceeds donated to the nonprofit ICanDecide.org. With items donated from all the exhibitors, the tea cup raffle will also benefit the nonprofit. Tickets may be purchased at EventBrite.com/e/Passport-to-Health-and-Wellness-Expo-Tickets-53794206921.
