Rock Island native and author Dr. Cathy Rosenbaum will speak on integrated health and wellness 2 p.m. Sept. 23 at Rock Island’s main library branch to help residents reassess non-vitamin supplements.
As a clinical pharmacist and holistic health advocate, Rosenbaum wrote “Don’t Sweep it Under the Drug,” a guide to help readers evaluate the combination of pills and supplements in their medicine cabinets, how they interact with one another, and whether they are all necessary.
Having traveled extensively in China, she researched global health care traditions and herbal medicine and has combined what she learned with evidence-based health practices.
The book draws on the writer’s pharmacology background and also imparts an open-minded approach to health. While the author does not shy away from prescription medicine, she urges people to create a balanced lifestyle approach incorporating sleep, exercise, whole foods and stress management techniques into their daily routines.
The presentation is free, open to the public and requires no pre-registration.
Now an Ohio resident, Rosenbaum is the founder and CEO of a health care consulting firm, RX Integrative Solutions. She has a doctorate in pharmacy from the University of Cincinnati as well as an MBA and registered pharmacist (RPh) and health coaching (CHC) certifications.
