A Letter from Carolyn C. DeSena, Founder, WEforum
Finding my balance. A realistic approach to healthy living - one choice at a time.

Dear Readers,
I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately wondering what you think of our content, our mission, our goals - hoping that in some way we are resonating with you, hoping that we are providing content that helps you change the way you think about your health, hoping that the new and innovative and sometimes groundbreaking medical research intrigues you to stay connected. It dawned on me as I was at a cafe and was about to eat something that wasn’t healthy, ridiculously sweet and not on my “ good nutrition for life” plan. All of sudden, I wondered, for all the health information we promote on our website and newsletter, if I and other Weforum members and supporters might be under the microscope. The pressure was mounting and would I eat my treats on “cheat days” incognito?
Here is what I hope you take away from this...

WEsupport
i
s a volunteer-based peer support group of women helping women that provides a setting for people to share their common experiences and concerns, gather information, and provide emotional and practical support and encouragement for one another.
The diagnosis of ADHD and other sensory integrated related disorders continues to rise at staggering rates. The diagnosis is just the first step in what becomes a very complicated journey. Often we are left with little guidance as we begin to comprehend and understand what new challenges lie ahead. With expert opinions varying significantly, confusion and frustration become prese
nt.
WEsupport
will share information in a supportive, community based platform while exploring natural remedies and solutions to assist in managing this new world. WE hope with this knowledge share that WE will be able to better champion this cause and set up a foundation for each child’s success.
1) Gut-brain connection in complex kids
2) Desensitizing the environment
3) Navigating school

WEforum Wants to Know:
What Is Ayurveda?
|
|
WEforum explores all the ways we can educate ourselves about the many facets of health and wellness. WEforum asked Kimberly Kubicke, an Ayurvedic educator, consultant and health coach specializing in digestive health in Asbury Park to tell us what is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda literally means “the science of life and longevity.” It is the oldest system of healing in the world. It must be doing something right to have weathered the test of over 5,000 years! Ayurveda is ancient wisdom with cutting edge perspective. It offers simple, safe and effective techniques to harness your body’s potential to be healthy, prevent disease and to recover from illness and imbalance when they do occur. The mission of Ayurveda is to ensure a long, healthy, happy and fulfilling life for all.

Kimberly Kubicke is certified as an Ayurvedic Practitioner with the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and as an Ayurvedic Food & Nutrition Consultant with the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America.
