James Occhiogrosso, the local author of Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life, natural health practitioner and herbalist, will present a series of free lectures discussing ways to improve overall health and minimize age-related changes in the body. The sessions, held from 6 to 7:30 p.m., every other Monday beginning December 1, consist of a 45-minute to one-hour lecture, followed by a Q&A forum at Ada’s Natural Market, in Fort Myers.

Occhiogrosso will discuss hormone balancing for men and women and how hormones are the chemical messengers of the body at the first session. As we age, these messages often become muted or misapplied, causing multiple, seemingly unrelated, symptoms. On December 15, Occhiogrosso will lead a discussion about the facts, myths, fears and treatments of osteoporosis and osteopenia, conditions that affect many older women and men with severe hormone imbalances. Two weeks later, Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life, will cover natural ways to avoid and sometimes rectify functional problems often brought on by aging prostate glands.
