3 V O L U M E 4, I S S U E 2 P A G E 3 Butler County Wellness and Fitness Program Since we have added the new Art and Music Class on Mondays we now have openings on Mondays and Tuesdays at the Wellness and Fitness Program at World Gym. We still have a waiting list on the other days. We are so proud of what our members are learning in the Wellness and Fitness Class before working out in the gym. They are not only learning but retaining knowledge that many college students don t know. such as Cortisol, the stress hormone, dopamine, oxytoxin, Omega 3, antioxidants,, and endorphins. We are also learning methods of relaxing and hope to soon get a guest speaker to talk about meditation. While doing research for my new book on Autism and Alzheimer's I discovered that genes are not destiny and far more adaptable than previously believed. A single argument can turn off health-promoting genes while a single meditation can turn on genes that support health and turn off genes that promote illness.
