MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.--CNN nutritional advisor and author Mark MacDonald will be among the speakers at the Healthy Life Expo, which will be held October 19 and 20 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. MacDonald, the author of the New York Times bestseller “Body Confidence” and a frequent guest on the Dr. Oz program, will talk about how a properly fed body can lose weight.

The two-day health extravaganza will feature three stages of seminars, demonstrations and entertainment:

·         Denny Stockdale, president of Stockdale Resource Group, will speak about the “Art of Appreciation” for employees, teams and individuals.

·         Dr. Maggie Tu will describe how the Active Release Technique can be used to treat over-used muscles and relieve back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, sciatica and tennis elbow, as well as other conditions.

·         Dr. Ravi Ratan will reveal how emotional release can drain the body’s lymphatic system of toxins and improve immunity. In another presentation, he will address psychosomatic health through chakra therapy.

·         Jan Norman Guyn, RN, BSN-UCLA, will give a “PG-rated” talk about incorporating pleasure into your daily life.

·         Spruce Krause, M.A., will provide simple, scientifically-proven tools to increase well-being and happiness.

Nor will pets be forgotten. Dr. Rebecca Amstutz, an animal chiropractor, and Jenny Gott, a wellness practitioner for pets, will discuss how chiropractic, massage and essential oils help maintain optimal pet health.

At the Demo Court, exhibitors will demonstrate various activities from karate to square dancing. The Expo also features a Fitness Together obstacle court.

 

New this year is the “Expo Guys’ Weight Loss Challenge.”  Contestants—members of the attending public--can weigh in at the expo on October 19 or 20^th, get their weight recorded, visit with a nutrition counselor and a personal trainer and get tips for weight loss. They will be invited back to the Healthy Life Expo January 11-12, 2014 to weigh in on-stage. People who lose the most weight will be recognized and awarded prizes. Rick Martinek, president, MediaMax Events, said, “The Expo Guys care about the people who attend our shows. We not only want them to have a good time, but a good life as well.”

More than 200 exhibitors will offer free product samples, mini massages and beauty makeovers. The first 100 people through the door will receive a free goodie bag.

The Healthy Life Expo runs from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. both days. Admission is $6 for adults, but attendees can get in free with the donation of a non-perishable food item. Donations go to Moms & Neighbors, a tax-exempt organization that helps mothers facing financial or medical challenges.
