Talk on modern diet, chronic diseases

SANDAKAN: The public is invited to attend an awareness health talk about the effect of modern diet and lifestyle on chronic diseases on March 26 at the auditorium of the Borneo Cove Hotel here.

It will be held from 2pm to 4pm and conducted by Embrose Hiew, a practising nutrition medicine therapist, anti-ageing and natural & herbal medicine health practitioner.

Hiew received training in nutrition and health at The Plaskett Nutritional Medicine College, United Kingdom, and Nutritional Medicine Board Certification Program by The Association of Nutritional Medicine Practitioners Malaysia.

Nutritional medicine is an evidence-based holistic medical practice, it is also a form of preventive medicine and a branch of complementary medicine which seeks the ultimate cause(s) of an illness/ disease and then prescribes a treatment scheme that is drug-and-surgery free.

According to Hiew, this involves the use of highly sophisticated diagnostic tests available to modern science, designing a diet that matches the nutritional/ physiological needs of the patient, modifying patient’s lifestyle, detoxifying, and supplementing patients with the required micro-nutrients targeted at specific chronic health issues.

Hiew is also a practising member of the Association of Nutrition Medicine Practitioners, Malaysia, and he is currently a committee member of the association. He is also a member of the American Academy of Antiageing Medicine.

Apart from that, Hiew is the Complementary Medicine Director and founder of Health Ecologie International – “HEI Wellness” which is mainly involved in providing nutritional medicine, natural and herbal medicine therapy to treat a wide range of metabolic disorders, hormone related disorders, 4A disorders (ADHD, autism, allergy & asthma), and other chronic degenerative diseases.

Everyone is welcome to attend the free talk. For further information and registration, the public may contact Wong Kay Yun (0126740353).
