SEQUIM — Dr. Tim Guthrie will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness Forum on the benefits of exercise at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Guthrie will present “The ‘New’ Miracle Drug — Exercise For All Ages” at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave., in Sequim.
Exercise is Guthrie’s “drug of choice” in treating or preventing diabetes, hypertension, depression, Alzheimer’s and a number of other chronic diseases.
“Side effects may include increased energy, improved sleep, weight loss and perhaps some muscle aching,” he said in a press release.
He will discuss various methods of approaching exercise, from a slow walk to interval/sprint training, and how to safely exercise at nearly any age and physical condition.
Guthrie, a Sequim doctor, is a board-certified family physician who trained at Loma Linda University School of Medicine in California. He said he has “embraced a healing model that focuses on finding the true underlying causes of disease, emphasizing lifestyle change, identifying and eliminating of sources of inflammation, treating with nutrition and leaving prescription medications as a last resort, unless emergently needed to buy time for the body to heal itself.”
WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of Dungeness Valley Health &Wellness Clinic — Sequim’s free clinic.
