Carol L. Roberts, M.D., a functional medical practitioner for more than 20 years working at Perlmutter Health Center, Naples, and the author of Good Medicine: A Return to Common Sense, will give two free wellness presentations this month and next at the center. The topics are Hormones: From Hell to Heaven from 6:30 to 8 p.m., November 20, and an Introduction to Weight Loss at the same time on December 20.

The emotional balance, physical benefits and quality of life-enhancing properties of hormones and the differences between pharmaceutical hormones and natural, or bioidentical, hormones will be addressed at the first event. Roberts’ success in helping hundreds of men and women lose weight rapidly and safely with hormone balancing via a strict, but short program will be discussed in December.

Donations for the Humane Society of Naples are accepted at both events. Location: 600 Goodlette Rd., Ste. 270. For more information or to register, call 239-649-7400.
