The American Health and Wellness Fair

The American Health and Wellness Fair — a free public event that brings together more than 150 health and wellness providers in the areas of traditional medicine, nutrition, acupuncture, massage therapy, energy healing, chiropractic, yoga and much more — will be held on Saturday, September 14, 10am to 5pm, in Bloomfield’s Brookdale Park.

The fair will feature free health screenings, spa and wellness treatments, eco-friendly vendors, fitness classes (be sure to bring your workout gear), health and wellness speakers, music and activities for children.

In addition to vendors, the fair will also feature healthy foods and treats including delicious Thai cuisine, innovative organic popsicles and desserts, organic produce, healthy candies and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to win two tickets to the 2014 Super Bowl by donating blood and grab tons of freebies donated by wellness facilities, health food companies, fitness studios and spas.

“Health and wellness isn’t just a fad – it’s a lifestyle,” says Jaime Franz, partner of On The Pulse Productions, the producers of the event. “Many people are looking to improve their health but don’t know where to start. We want to bring together a variety of wellness options to help people reach their personal goals and improve their lives.” According to Franz, the Bloomfield/Montclair area is the perfect location for this type of event as the community is a great supporter of health, wellness and the holistic lifestyle.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
