Supplement of the Month/OHU Trivia

Congratulations to our July winner: Gretchen L.!!

Correctly answer questions from this month's OHU newsletters and you could win the August supplement of the Month.

OHU = Optimal Health University - a weekly newsletter that GFC is proud to subscribe to and share with our patients. Here's a little more info about OHU:
Each week, Optimal Health University® focuses on teaching patients and the community about one topic in late-breaking health research. By centering on one topic at a time, patients learn far more than by dabbling in many subjects simultaneously. This approach also inspires patients to, step-by-step, make dramatic, positive changes — catapulting them to lifelong wellness and vitality.

Supplement of the Month - Each month we feature one of the supplements that is available for sale in our office. We give our patients information about what the particular supplement is used for. Our doctors take great care to research the supplements available in our office to be sure that they are of the highest quality. Before taking any supplement you should discuss it with your doctor of chiropractic to be sure it is right for your needs and to be sure that you are taking the correct dosage.

We have combined these two great educational tools inot our Supplement of the Month/OHU Trivia Drawing. Each week there are 3 questions that can be answered by reading the week's OHU newsletter. Answer the 3 questions and enter our drawing. At the end of the month we will draw out one entry. If all 3 questions have been answered correctly that patient wins the supplement of the month. We will notify you by phone if you are the winner.
