With foliage in full bloom and a crisp breeze in the autumn air, nearly 200 clients convened at the Monroe Golf Club for an informative session focused on Cybersecurity.

SpelLIFE 2018 – The Power of Food
The fifth annual SpelLIFE Women’s Wellness Summit provided more than 300 people in the Southwest Florida community with the knowledge, resources and inspiration needed to pursue a wellness-focused lifestyle.
The summit – presented by A Euphoric Living Foundation, Inc., and èBella magazine – was on Saturday, April 21 at the NCH Telford Center in Naples.
Ciccarelli Advisory Services was a primary sponsor of the 2018 SpelLIFE Women’s Wellness Summit. In addition, 30 local organizations sponsored resource exhibit tables, providing attendees with the opportunity to explore the wellness-focused services that are available in our community.
SpelLIFE 2018 honed in on the relationship between dietary choices and long-term brain health. This message was articulated by keynote speaker Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and four-time New York Times bestselling author.
Dr. Perlmutter discussed the damaging effect of consuming excessive carbohydrates – especially sugar and grains – on the health of the body and the brain. He emphasized that a low-carb diet is essential to maintaining peak brain function and preventing dementia, in conjunction with regular exercise and consumption of dietary fat.
Dr. Perlmutter also cited other methods for preventing inflammation in the body, such as avoiding artificial sweeteners and supplementing turmeric and probiotics to the diet.
During the breakout sessions at the event, four guest speakers from the Naples community shared their expertise on various topics related to holistic health and wellness:
Chris Edwards, owner of TriCore Wellness;
Dr. Pamela Hughes, owner of Hughes Center for Functional Medicine;
Dr. Caroline Cederquist, founder of Cederquist Medical Wellness Center; and
The Alternative Therapies Panel – Frank Corvino, DeAnna Graziano, Carol McDermott, and Nancy Molidor.
Partial proceeds from the SpelLIFE Women’s Wellness Summit will benefit the Senior Friendship Health Center, a nonprofit organization that offers low- or no-cost medical and dental care to underserved seniors in Collier County.
