How does our overall health affect our ability to conceive? And how does contraception fit into our overall picture of health?
Join us on May 16 when our speakers Shep Saltzman,R.N. of Vienna Complementary Medicine and Vital Mind/Body Therapies, and Katy Vega, N.D. and midwife-in-training
will put fertility in a holistic framework.
Our speakers will explain the complex interactions of the endocrine system including thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, pancreas and address how these glands work and are affected by hormonal contraception like the Pill and the patch. They will also discuss how digestion, allergies and overall immune system function can affect fertility.

How can you read your body's cues for family
planning? A discussion of the basics of Fertility Awareness will explain how to read your body's cues -- and how to address your lifestyle and environment -- to control your fertility.
We also plan to have information to share about other birth control methods and their effects on the body beyond fertility.
7:00-9:00 p.m. 716 S. Glebe Road, Arlington, VA
Please arrive on time so that we can be sure to hear everything both speakers have to say!
