 Dr. James Meschino - Flatten Your Tummy the Natural & Healthy Way 

Do you often feel bloated, puffy, gassy or as we often call it "fat"? Good news! it's easier to flatten that tummy roll (and back fat) than you thought. Studies show that how you digest your food is just as important as how you are eating!  

In this engaging presentation Dr. James Meschino explains how our modern dietary patterns, the use of birth control pills and other lifestyle factors, have disrupted the health of the intestinal tract, which has lead to commonly encountered problems such as bloating or swelling after meals, irritable bowel syndrome, candida infections (which are often undetected), and a high prevalence of food sensitivities, food allergies and autoimmune conditions, such as eczema and rheumatoid arthritis. Disrupted intestinal health can also aggravate adult acne, psoriasis, colitis and Crohn’s disease. In this presentation Dr. Meschino highlights the use of digestive enzymes, and prebiotics, as well as other measures, which have been shown in clinical trials to restore optimal intestinal function and improve or eradicate many of these health challenges and complexion problems that are frequently encountered in women of all ages.

Alyson Joy – Exercise Your Femininity 
When was the last time you felt your sensuality take over in a fitness workout? Turn it up and turn it on with the most talked about fitness program just for women - feel your juices brewing in your muscles and your mind and take that right into your life! Feel the carefree playful feeling while you tone and firm at Diva Day IV!

Professional dancer and owner of the Felinity Studio, Alyson Joy puts her passion into practice with the Felinity workout for women.

With a successful Studios in Toronto, Mississauga and new locations coming to New Market and more…Featured on national and US radio, television, newspapers, trade shows and now with a series of incredible DVD’s on major release, Alyson Joy has become the icon for a new style of liberated female movement.

Felinity is a workout designed specifically for a woman's mind and body. Women are encouraged to exercise their femininity and celebrate their individuality. “The movement is about the freedom to be female and to appreciate yourself, completely.” For many years, Alyson has been using movement to help women strengthen the connection between mind and body and improve their self-esteem.

“I wanted women to find freedom without seeking external validation,” said Joy. When she first began dancing, she was uncomfortable because she was looking to the audience for their approval. When she finally began dancing for herself she felt empowered.

As pole dancing and sexuality-based workouts were gaining popularity, Alyson saw a gap in the market. Other programs were rooted in the idea of catering to someone else; “performing” for your partner, whereas Joy believed women should do it for themselves. She wanted to holistically approach this type of exercise and make it available to women of all ages, shapes and sizes.

Discover your body and express your feminine power and fitness in a whole new way with core sensuality – especially for you at Diva Day IV! www.felinity.ca
