Chattanooga Functional Forum Wednesday, January 30, 2019

Chattanooga Functional Forum

by Chattanooga Functional Forum

Wednesday, January 30, 2019

6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Happy New Year! After some planning, it's time to bring the best practitioners in Functional Medicine together to form a true Fuctional Forum in the Chattanooga area! We want to bring like minded integrative, functional practitioners together in a safe, friendly, supportive environment.

The topic for this first one will be on Hormones, and Metagenics will provide a speaker. In the future, it would be great to have a local practitioner present a difficult case that they have solved or is un-resolved. Then it can be opened up for discussion amongst practitioners for discussion or ideas on treatment. If you wish to present in the future, please let us know at the meeting and we can select a month for you to present.

The goal will be to hold these every month on the 4th Wednesday of the nonth at 6:30pm at the Retreat at the Wellness Corner and grow the group. We will need a committee to take over the organization and email invitation every month, but we will discuss this at the meeting. If you wish to be on that committee please let us know at that time.

This is a great place to come together and network and get to know your fellow functional practitioners.

The first couple forums will be sponsored by Metagenics and we are hopeful that as it grows, others will want to sponsor as well.

Please spread the word to other practitioners that you know would be interested or bring them with you. We will compile an email list at the meeting. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Hospital Parking Increase 2019

Just to warn others, Erlanger Hospital's Parking Garage has Increased their fee.  I remember when they had the Erlanger Healthlink Plus card that you could show for free parking in the garage.  After they did away with that freebie, parking in the garage was $1.  Apparently the cost is now $2.  And the machine inside to pay does not accept coins.  I only brought one dollar (not realizing that the price was increased) and was digging for spare change to pay the other dollar.  I googled it, and Yes, prices went up January 1, 2019. 
Just a Heads Up.

Parking rates rise to $2 at Erlanger's downtown parking garage; valet parking still free at five locations

Erlanger Health System officials announced that parking rates in the hospital's downtown parking garage will increase from $1 to $2 starting Jan. 1, 2019.
Rob Brooks, Erlanger's chief operating officer, said in a news release that the increase will help offset rising costs of maintaining the parking garage, multiple valet services, labor, parking lots and shuttles at Erlanger. 
"This increase is also needed to cover expenses for building additional lots at our downtown campus," said Brooks, noting that "Erlanger's expansive growth has led to the need for more lots."
Those with handicap tags will continue to park free in Erlanger's garage, and free parking is still available to patients and visitors using the hospital's valet services at the main entrance, outside the emergency rooms, the West Wing Surgical Services entrance and the new Children's Hospital Outpatient Center.   
Hospital volunteers will also continue to be able to park free, as well as members of the clergy who are visiting patients and students with Erlanger badges doing clinical rotations at the hospital.

Patients and visitors who park in Erlanger's garage without leaving will pay $2, regardless of the number of hours or days they stay in the hospital. There are approximately 1,000 parking spaces on the ground, first and second levels of the Erlanger parking garage reserved for patients and visitors.

Bemer's Revolutionary Technology

by Nutrition World

Saturday, January 26, 2019

10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Most people are familiar with the importance of circulation. This is a key component to us living and breathing on this earth. However, what is not focused on is how can we improve circulation within the micro-circulatory system. This is specifically referring to the health of our capillaries. Capillaries have two extremely important jobs. They carry vital nutrients into the body but even more important they allow for unwanted toxins to leave the system when they are functioning properly. The patented Bemer technology is a chair system that for 8 minutes a day improves the function of this vital system. The benefits seen are magnificent! Come learn about this technology and receive 3 free appointments to try our Bemer technology at your convenience by attending the lecture!

The Cumberland Trail is known for its beauty, mountain streams and remote setting. The trail is single track, and the sections we have chosen are in direction of traveling mostly downhill (a couple short climbs) where hikers may need to high step over rocks, deadfall and other obstacles. New hikers should expect this route to be challenging but certainly attainable. Guides and a shuttle will be provided for the one way trek so you can enjoy the scenic views and sounds of nature without the worry of getting lost.

Cost: FREE. Registration is required in advance as space is limited in the shuttle vehicle. All details about the section hikes are given to participants upon registration via email. The CT is a remote trail over rugged terrain. We ask participants have some hiking experience and be in good physical shape to hike 4-7 miles continuously on sections rated as moderately strenuous. Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a participating parent or responsible adult.

WTCI, the Chattanooga 2.0 Early Matters Coalition (ACEs Public Training Workgroup) and United Way of Greater Chattanooga (UWGC) will host a 2-day screening workshop event sponsored by UNUM on January 25 and January 26 that will engage, educate and inspire educators, service providers and caregivers through documentary screenings of “Building Strong Brains: ACEs, The Tennessee Story.”

“Building Strong Brains: ACEs, The Tennessee Story” was produced by WCTE in collaboration with agencies, organizations, and other communities across the State, and funded by a grant from the State of Tennessee as a part of an initiative by Governor Haslam that deals with changing the conversation about early childhood trauma, its impact on the brain-building process and what communities can do to assure success for every child born in Tennessee. Lesley Scearce, President and CEO of United Way of Greater Chattanooga, says “We are proud allies in the local conversation around ACEs, it’s crucial to connect different sectors of the community around the important question of how we can protect and support Chattanooga’s children through trauma intervention.”

This community event is made possible through the support of UNUM, one of the world’s leading employee benefits companies. Snacks for the event are being provided courtesy the Helen Ross McNabb Center. Early Matters Chattanooga is an action team of the Chattanooga 2.0 coalition and is made up of over 30 local organizations working together to ensure access to high-quality resources that support optimal development of children ages birth through five in Hamilton County, Tennessee. They strive to engage and mobilize the community through advocacy, communication and education and this screening and workshop will continue their work to educate the public on the impact of ACEs and toxic stress in the hopes that Chattanooga will become a more trauma-informed community.

Murder Mystery Party (January 2019)

by Virgola Chattanooga

Thursday, January 24, 2019

7:00 PM – 8:30 PM

This month's murder mystery features a murder at a Napa Valley wine festival! When Barry goes missing during the annual festival, a large search occurs but Barry is no where to be found! Five years go by and no one has seen Barry, not even the FBI can solve his disappearance! During the annual festival this year, a large earthquake unveils Barry’s body but who could the killer be?!

It's great to create new memories with old friends and hosting a murder mystery dinner party is a wonderful way to bring everyone together! What a better way to do a wine tasting? Join us at Virgola Chattanooga for an evening of wine, food and a murder mystery! Be sure to put on your best deerstalker hat, get out the calabash pipe, and raise the magnifying glass to your eye.

Elementary Watson!

Tickets are FREE, but you have to RSVP to participate and reserve your space. Minimum purchase for participation is $15.
