The North Bend Public Library is hosting a workshop entitled “Digestive Health 101” on Tuesday, May 16 at 2:00 PM. The workshop will be led by Cheryl O’Dell of Natural Grocers and will focus on addressing the root causes of digestive discomfort. Today, 70% of Americans experience digestive related symptoms or diseases. An unhealthy gut has been linked to worsening overall health, including increased risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, and psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, and stress. “Digestive Health 101” is designed to give attendees the tools to support their digestive health and manage digestive comfort, which could be the key difference in their overall health and well-being. Cheryl O’Dell holds a Master of Science Degree in nutrition from Bastyr University, School of Natural Medicine. Her passion is engaging with the local community to achieve their health goals by helping them establish healthy habits that align with their individual lifestyles. When not at Natural Grocers, Cheryl enjoys spending time in the natural areas of Coos Bay and participating in the region’s local festivities.
