  Multiple Sclerosis

  Dr. Benjamin Benulis, Doctor of Chiropractic, Create Health PLLC

  Multiple Sclerosis used to be 1 in a million in 1950. Now in 2024 it's around 1 in 350 people are diagnosed with this disease. How did this happen? Mainstream medicine still does not know the cause or have a cure. Most people eventually end up on a cane, walker or wheelchair despite being on Disease Modifying Drug Therapies. What if remission were possible? Dr. Benjamin Benulis is the author of the book "Create Health: Reverse Autoimmune Disease Without Drugs or Their Side Effects" and has helped several people reverse Multiple Sclerosis with diet and lifestyle. In this talk he goes into the possible causes of MS, why the mainstream medical community has such a hard time getting good outcomes for people with MS, and most importantly, how to actually reverse it using diet and lifestyle.

  Why Many Business Owners are Wealthy on Paper but not Financially Independent

  Anthony Perez, Founder, Harvest Wealth Strategies

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Financial

  Many business owners spend decades reinvesting everything back into their company, only to discover later that most of their personal wealth is tied up in the business itself. At the same time, rising costs, hiring challenges, and economic uncertainty are placing more pressure on owners to remain deeply involved in day-to-day operations. MORE >

  This presentation explores the unique financial planning challenges that business owners face compared to traditional employees or executives. Anthony Perez explains why traditional retirement planning strategies often fall short for entrepreneurs and how business owners can build a financial plan that does not depend entirely on selling their company at the perfect time.

  Topics include:

  - The biggest financial planning mistakes business owners make
  - How to turn business success into personal financial security
  - Strategies for creating optionality before a transition
  - Aligning personal wealth planning with the eventual sale or succession of the business

  The session helps business owners shift their thinking from “running a business” to building a business that can ultimately support their life after ownership.

  Edward Givens, Insurance Agent, HealthMarkets

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Health & Fitness

  UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA Your memory often changes as you grow older. Some people recognize changes in themselves before anyone else notices. In other cases, friends and family are the first to observe changes in memory, behavior or abilities.

Dementia is a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s (AHLZ-high-merz) disease, a fatal disorder that results in the loss of brain cells and function.
