Clayton College of Natural Health student Matthew Sluder recently appeared as a guest on a radio program called Reality Sandwich.  This particular show is focused on discussing a proposed plan to spray untested pesticides over urban populations through out the San Francisco Bay Area in an attempt to eradicate the light brown apple moth.  Sluder was asked to share a little bit about the emerging field of epigenetics and generally how chemicals interact with our genes.

Clayton College of Natural Health graduate Beth H. Harrison’s new release, “Shedding Light on Genetically Engineered Food,” has garnered praise and prizes, including the Outstanding Book of the Year in the Independent Publisher Book Awards and the 2008 Eric Hoffer Award in the Health Category.

In it, Harrison explains what the biotechnology industry and the U.S. government have not about the genetically modified foods you’re eating. An estimated 70-75 percent of processed foods on supermarket shelves contain genetically modified foods - and they have never been proven safe for human consumption!

“Only when people learn about GE foods can they make conscious choices about what they eat. Fortunately, eating GE-free is easier than you might think,” Harrison said.

Clayton College of Natural Health Anastasia Halldin has created YogaPulse™, which is designed to help you reshape your body and transform your life by focusing on the way you move and the food you eat. The YogaPulse™ method is based on the principle of seven major pulse zones. The theory of pulse zones was created, tested and developed by Anastasia. It has its roots in ancient yogic texts and in Eastern medicine. Pulse zones are seven specific areas of your body where energy is highly concentrated. The YogaPulse™ program stimulates these zones, unlocks the normally stagnant energy and creates the sense of overall wellbeing, strength, fitness, flexibility, weight loss and a deep inner peace. YogaPulse™ is a real combination of East meets West for the best in fitness.
