Eat as if Your Life Depends on It!

Tuesday, May 13, 7-8:30 pm
Trinity United Methodist Church 16th and A Streets

Open Harvest invites Dr. Kevin Coughlin for a discussion and a look at what to eat - and what not to eat. In a culture surrounded by "food" we CAN see each meal as a way to nourish our bodies and spirits. Eating need not be a battleground of guilt and confusion. We will explore that challenge with common sense and innovation. Open Harvest will provide samples of recommended nutritious foods. This program is FREE.

Dr. Coughlin is a UNMC graduate who did his Family Medicine training in Lincoln. After practicing in Geneva, Neb. he returned to Lincoln and was a full-time ER doctor for ten years. In 1998 he returned to Primary Care and pursued his interest in Alternative and Complementary Medicine. This vision resulted in a two-year fellowship with Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona Program in Integrative Medicine in Tucson. He continues as an active alumnus of PIM and an enthusiastic advocate of Integrative Medicine.

Dr. Coughlin has also trained in Medical Acupuncture through the Helms Medical Institute/UCLA. His current practice, Heart & Health Solutions, is acupuncture only - with principles of Integrative nutrition, herbal supplementation and lifestyle management incorporated.
