New Naturopathic Courses Forming for Fall

[dropcap]C[/dropcap]linical Nutritionist Dian Freeman has been conducting a six-month naturopathic national certification course twice a year for more than 13 years. She is accepting deposits now for her Wellness Simplified Fall/Winter Naturopathic Course for Certification in Holistic Health that begins October 9.

She teaches many modalities learned by experience and combined in her own practice. Among these include what used to be thought of as clinical nutrition, which was based on optimal supplementation as developed through orthomolecular nutrition. Freeman combines this original nutritionist tradition with the newer approaches of functional nutrition diets, herbalism, essential oils, flower essences and many other effective healing modalities, including vibrational energy tools.

Freeman, who also lectures nationally at conferences and holistic gatherings, teaches how to regain good health by using food, supplements and drugless holistic practices, and her course leads to designation as a certified holistic health counselor (CHHC), which is used by many of her 600-plus graduate students in their own practices. She also offers each student private nutritional consultations and business-building meetings and mentors them in health and business for as long as they need.

Wellness Simplified is located in Morristown, NJ. For more information, call 973-267-4816 or visit WellnessSimplified.com

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
