Become a Certified
Health and Nutrition Counselor
Tuesday, October 6th, 5-7 PM PST

Brenda Generali of Joyful Living Services and Beverly Sevilla of Grateful Living Services will be teaching you how to become a Certified Health and Nutrition Counselor on Tuesday and Thursday evenings beginning October 6th from 5-7 PM PST.

The science of nutrition is the study of the nutrients in food and the body’s handing of these nutrients. You are made entirely of what you have eaten. Your skin, which has reliably covered you from the time you were born, is not the same skin that covered you seven years ago, it is made entirely of new cells. The fat beneath your skin is not the same fat that was there a year ago. Your oldest red blood cell is only 120 days old, and the entire lining of your digestive tract is renewed every three days. To maintain your “self”, you must continually replenish the energy you burn and replace the cells you lose. This course is designed to teach you about proper nutrition and the role it plays in your health and the health of others.

This course is approved as a Continuing Education Credit (CEC) course by the Board of Registered Nursing, BRN #13857

Each session will be recorded so if you are not available, you can watch the recordings. You can watch the recordings as many times as you wish and you can even come in over zoom, and watch the recordings. We are flexible as to what you want and need.

If you attend over zoom, the class will run every Tuesday and Thursday night at 5 PM PST beginning October 6th through November 3rd. You will be able to access the quizzes, power points, and recordings through our student portal.

There will be a PowerPoint presentation for each session and recipes available.

We will have a free health and nutrition study group that you can sign up for to help you continue to learn which is a huge bonus.

You are welcome to take this class for fun, for a Certificate of Attendance, or for Certification as a Certified Health and Nutrition Counselor through us. This course is approved by the Board of Registered Nursing and carries a BRN number. You will be able to put the CHNC after your name once you have passed the quizzes and the final exam if you wish to create a business or add to an existing business.

The class is unlimited over Zoom. RSVP required. Fill out the form below to attend.

Requirements for certificate are to pass the quiz for each session and to pass the final exam at the end of the class. You can go at your own speed if you wish.

Your Gut Health Webinar

Thursday, August 18th
5 PM PST, 8 PM EST

Gut health has emerged as a cornerstone of overall well-being, influencing numerous bodily systems and functions. The gut, often referred to as our “second brain,” plays a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and even mental health.

We’ll explore the gut microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms residing in our digestive tract. You’ll learn about the gut-brain axis. This connection underlies the impact of gut health on mood, cognition, and overall mental well-being.

We’ll examine the role of diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors in shaping gut health. You’ll learn practical strategies to assess, support, and optimize gut health in yourself and your clients.

Follow up to this webinar is a gut health course Brenda will be starting in January 2027. More details to come.

Join the California Coalition of Natural Practitioners

SB 577 Safe Harbor Health Freedom Failed Us - What Now?

Call to Action: AB 1703 Moves To the Governor's Desk

Join the California Coalition of Natural Practitioners

Â AB 1703 would amend California Business and Professions Code 2053.5 ”the provision underlying the SB 577 safe-harbor framework” by adding osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to the specific services that an otherwise compliant unlicensed complementary/alternative practitioner may not provide under that protection. The bill defines OMT as the therapeutic application of manually guided forces to alleviate somatic dysfunction. Consequently, a practitioner relying on the SB 577 safe harbor could no longer legally provide a service that is determined to meet that definition, even if the practitioner otherwise complies with the safe-harbor requirements. The bill could be interpreted as making Cranial Sacral Therapy, reflexology, massage, chiropractic techniques, or every other form of bodywork as prohibited therapies.. The legal issue is whether a particular technique is considered OMT under the new definition; therefore, Cranial Sacral Therapy or another manual therapy could potentially lose the safe-harbor protection if characterized as the therapeutic application of manually guided forces to alleviate somatic dysfunction.

For more than 15 years, I have been involved in legislative activism and advocacy for natural and complementary healthcare in California. Much of what I learned about navigating the political and legislative process came from my mentor and the founder of the California Naturopathic Association, Dr. Angela Burr Madsen. Before her passing, Dr. Madsen entrusted me with the responsibility of continuing the work of protecting and registering our profession so that it would not be lost. Her mentorship taught me that we cannot simply assume that a law protecting our practice today will protect it tomorrow, we must anticipate legislative threats, build political relationships, organize our professions, and establish a permanent legal foundation for the practitioners who come after us. That experience is precisely why I warned earlier this year that the SB 577 safe harbor could eventually be amended. Today, AB 1703 demonstrates why we must take that warning seriously and move toward registration and permanent statutory recognition of our professions.

Earlier this year, CNA fought to preserve the law and we won. We protected the language that allowed our profession to continue operating under California's existing framework. Unfortunately, manual osteopaths did not have the same outcome. One contributing factor may have been that they did not have the benefit of dedicated legislative representation at the table. Our own legislative representation earlier this year did not accomplish everything we wanted or everything we needed but we nevertheless succeeded in protecting our law, and that success proves what organized advocacy can accomplish.

Now, however, SB 577 has shown us its greatest weakness: a safe harbor is only as strong as the Legislature's willingness to leave it untouched. I warned many of you earlier this year that SB 577 would eventually be amended. Many did not believe me. Today, that prediction has come true. AB 1703 demonstrates that a statutory safe harbor can be narrowed, and the practices we believed were protected can suddenly find themselves outside that protection. Registration is therefore no longer simply an aspiration, it is our path toward a permanent, recognized, and protected place in California law.

CNA has joined with the International Iridology Practitioners Association (IIPA), the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT), and the Reflexology Association of California (RAC) to form the California Coalition of Natural Practitioners (CCNP) to pursue registration for our respective professions. We are building something designed to be stronger than a safe harbor: a statutory home for natural practitioners that establishes who we are, what we do, and the legal authority under which we practice.

I am calling on every Natural Health Practitioner to join the California Coalition of Natural Practitioners.

California Coalition of Natural Health Practitioners (https://naturalhealthcoalition.org/)

If you practice naturopathy, cranial sacral therapy, reflexology, iridology, colon hydrotherapy, or another complementary discipline, your future depends upon having a recognized place within California law. We cannot continue relying solely upon a safe harbor that can be amended or narrowed by future legislation. Registration is our safe space. Registration is our long-term protection. Registration is how we ensure that the professions we have spent decades building are not lost.

The fight is not over. We are moving forward as the California Coalition of Natural Practitioners. Nature teaches us that those who adapt, organize, and become stronger are the ones who survive. The weaker are left behind. We have already survived and now it is time for us to become stronger. Let us be the stronger profession, not merely the protected profession. Let us build something that cannot so easily be taken away from us.

JOIN US!

URGENT SB 577

Manual Therapies Under threat!

I felt this was important to send to everyone because it will affect so many of us. They are voting on this tomorrow (Thursday).

If you're interested in helping us protect our right to practice alternative medicine, please get back to me by replying to this e-mail or text me at 530-368-0918.

Join me and the California Naturopathic Association and become involved. It's so important. As you know, what passes in California can affect all the other states.

This directly affects the work of Cranial Sacral Therapists and questionably affects other manual practitioners who may practice such as:
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners
Cranial Sacral Therapists
Indian Head Massage
Swedish Movements
Reflexologists
Zone Therapists
Reiki Practitioners
Rolfing therapy
Naprapathy
And others.

Ab 1703 was introduced and effectually amends SB 577s(2053.5) chapter in California Code (Medical Practice Act and does the following:

1. Bars unlicensed persons working under SB 577 from using the terms "Osteopath" and "DO" as the licensees of the Osteopathic Medical Board of California. This also eliminates legally practicing "Manual Osteopaths" in California.

2. Creates a definition for the touch based therapy "Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment"(OMT) and very broadly defines it as a "therapeutic application of manually guided forces to alleviate somatic dysfunction."

Manual therapies practiced under SB 577 of all types, could be defined as such, and become questionable act.

calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520260ab1703

The CNA has written in as opposed unless this bill is amended to clarify that manual therapies are not defined as OMT under the new bill if it becomes law.

We will also request Reflexologists to write in as their work may be seen as alleviating "somatic dysfunction".

Here is the current bill text and link to its votes so far.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.Section 2053.5 of theÂ Business and Professions CodeÂ is amended to read:2053.5.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person who complies with the requirements of Section 2053.6 shall not be in violation of Section 2051 or 2052 unless that person does any of the following:

(1)Conducts surgery or any other procedure on another person that punctures the skin or harmfully invades the body.

(2)Administers or prescribes X-ray radiation to another person.

(3)Prescribes or administers legend drugs or controlled substances to another person.

(4)Recommends the discontinuance of legend drugs or controlled substances prescribed by an appropriately licensed practitioner.

(5)Willfully diagnoses and treats a physical or mental condition of any person under circumstances or conditions that cause or create a risk of great bodily harm, serious physical or mental illness, or death.

(6)Sets fractures.

(7)Treats lacerations or abrasions through electrotherapy.

(8)Provides osteopathic manipulative treatment. For purposes of this paragraph, osteopathic manipulative treatment means the therapeutic application of manually guided forces to alleviate somatic dysfunction.

(8)
(9)Holds out, states, indicates, advertises, or implies to a client or prospective client thatÂ he or she isÂ they are a physician, a surgeon, or a physician and surgeon.

(b)A person who advertises any services that are not unlawful under Section 2051 or 2052 pursuant to subdivision (a) shall disclose in the advertisement that he or she is they are not licensed by the state as a healing arts practitioner.

SEC. 2.Section 2453.3 is added to theÂ Business and Professions Code, to read:2453.3.
(a)A person who is not licensed by the board shall not use the word osteopath, use the phrase doctor of osteopathy, use the initials D.O., or indicate or imply that they are a licensed osteopath, licensed doctor of osteopathy, or licensed physician and surgeon when offering or providing a service to treat a medical or physical condition.

(b)A person who violates subdivision (a) is guilty of a misdemeanor.

SEC. 3.
No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.

SECTION 1.Section 145 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read:145.The Legislature finds and declares that:(a)Unlicensed activity in any of the professions and vocations regulated by the Department of Consumer Affairs is a threat to the health, welfare, and safety of the people of the State of California.(b)The law enforcement agencies of the state should have sufficient, effective, and responsible means available to enforce the licensing laws of the state.(c)The criminal sanction for unlicensed activity should be swift, effective, appropriate, and create a strong incentive to obtain a license.
