Renee Shutters will explain how to implement the Feingold Program affordably and provide us with strategies for staying successful with being healthy. Many symptoms can be helped by changing a diet. Just a few of those are: ADHD, Asthma, Autism, Bedwetting, Depression, Dyslexia, Ear Infections, Eye Problems, Headaches, migraines, IBS, OCD, Seizures, Sleep problems, Speech problems, and more.
