Host Dave MacNiven is joined by the team of Soleil Acupuncture + Naturopathic Wellness of Hamden, CT. Soleil uses both eastern and western medicine; weaving together integrative, functional, and allopathic approaches. Director Dr. Lyndsey Maher says that "Soleil was born out of this concept that it's not one or the other; it's both. And both can work together in harmony and there's no reason they shouldn't." "We all require approaching things a little differently to treat the person." Says Christina Lakomski, APRN Soliel not only offers Acupuncture and Naturopathic Medicine, but Aesthetics, IV Nutrient Therapy, Anti-Aging Treatments, and Craniosacral Therapy. Briana Trudell, M.S.Ac., L.Ac. says, "It's two to three thousand-year-old medicine; so we're drawing on a lot of these older resources that are still relevant now. And using these basic principles, we can now apply an integrated approach; apply more western medicine on top of them in order to give someone the best care possible." Soleil also offers to collaborate and partner with organizations to increase corporate wellness. Through their network of various other providers (personal trainers, health coaches, and chiropractors), they offer a well-rounded experience by hosting lunch-n-learns, evening education, and weekend workshops.

The podcast welcomes the Producer of Community Works, Bernadette Welsh to discuss how she provides a media outlet for local non-profits. Bernadette shares her formula for how to structure a show that makes it easy to adapt to any organization. She feels, "It feeds the soul to say that you can do something that brings you joy." The philosophy of Community Works is: "When people help their neighbors, everybody benefits." Bernadette says the secret is listening to people, "What are they concerned about? Because if we assume what people are concerned about, we make a big mistake. It alienates people as well." She says, "I'd like to say that I give a voice to nonprofits." Community Works airs on the local community access cable network NHTV and episode are available on demand through the video hosting site Vimeo. http://www.nhtv.com/ https://vimeopro.com/northhaventv/nhtv-on-demand-videos You can find the show on Facebook under Community Works Inc. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091497944203 Sounds of Health will be sharing the sounds at Hamden Fest on Saturday June 8, 2024 at the Hamden Town Center Park, in Hamden, CT from 11am - 4pm.

Board certified health & wellness coach, certified personal trainer, certified senior fitness specialist, and owner of Healthy Moves for You, Roxie Perregaux says we should "take the 'ex' out of ex-athlete." Roxie encourages everyone, young and old, to do, "whatever it is that gets you up and moving and using those muscles; improving your positive attitude!" She recomends sports like pickleball, paddle ball, and bocce. "Grandparenting is a sport ... gardening can be a sport ... almost anything can be a sport if you have the sports-mind focus." She says, "there's a lot of different types of self-care." Roxie says we should look to have a "bright open future of 20, 30, 40 years of being able to move, and get around, and play sports. Or play just with kids or even with just our pets, throwing a ball or getting out there in a park or beach, grabbing a couple of people and going for a walk; anything to keep us moving so that we can enjoy all these years.” Healthy Moves for You provides in-person and virtual personal training, health coaching, and talks on longevity, women's health, and for caregivers on building foundations of fitness, nutrition, and self-care. Each talk has an optional workshop.

Executive Director of Interfaith Volunteer Care Givers (IVCG) Dan Camenga shares how their "neighbors helping neighbors" care model across a wide spectrum of programs, helps improve the wellbeing of seniors and elevates the quality of life in our region. IVCG Programs Include: Transportation Plus - Volunteer drivers provide personalized support to New Haven County Seniors going to and from medical appointments. Unlike most transportation options, we recognize the essential nature of personal relationships and engagement as critical factors that help seniors remain in their homes for as long as possible. Mae's Closet - Access to high quality Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is essential for preserving dignity, remaining confident, and staying independent. Volunteers with the Mae's Closet program (a DBA of IVCG) works to ensure DME is available to all who need it.  Diapers for Dignity - For financially insecure seniors with living with incontinence it can be a struggle to feel comfortable. IVCG is proud to offer free products once a month to registered seniors in New Haven County living with this dual challenge. IVCG depends on product donations of unused, wrapped adult diapers, bed pads, wipes, etc. Food Force - Groceries are delivered on a rotating basis to registered seniors in New Haven County. This includes a mix of non-perishables, fruits + vegetables, meat, and bread. We also have a pickup program called "Groceries at the Garden". For Thanksgiving, we are a lead partner in "Thanksgiving for All" with over 1,000 meals being delivered on Thanksgiving Day. CT Garden Collaborative - Social isolation is one of our most significant public health challenges. Through the Connecticut Garden Collaborative (a DBA of IVCG) we advance holistic wellness of individuals and communities through the awareness of CT based public gardens. Furthermore, the Cultivating Connections program provides opportunities for participating seniors to co-create "garden inspired" art together. Experience Corps - The AARP Foundation Experience Corps program conducts literacy coaching for K-3rd graders thanks to generous volunteer support from older Americans (50 years and over). The New Haven area program is transitioning to IVCG in 2024 where it will continue advancing dignity, hope, and opportunity. To learn more about volunteering with IVCG and their services, visit their website, https://www.carenewhaven.org/ email: Administration@CareNewHaven.org ph: (475) 257-6538 fb: InterfaithVolunteers fb: MaesClosetDME fb: ConnecticutPublicGardens ig: interfaithvolunteercaregivers 1253 Whitney Ave Hamden, CT 06517 Sounds of Health is brought to you by Nutmeg Insurance Advisors and recorded at the offices of Nutmeg Advisory Group in North Haven, CT.
