Dr. Krishna Doniparthi, founder of Alpharetta-based Functional Medicine Georgia, will be the keynote speaker at the second annual Holistic & Wellness Expo at the Valhalla Resort Hotel in Helen, Georgia, February 4. His talk, “Heart Health: Another Perspective,” will cover the latest research on heart health and what one needs to do to stay healthy.

Other speakers include naturopath Gary Potts speaking on “New Beginnings, New Health;” Reiki practitioner Darlene Greene discussing “Healing with Sounds of Love;” Andrew Strickman, CEO of Age Advantage Brands, on “The ABCs of CBD;” and Psych-K practitioner and author Linda Minnick to speak on “A New Day, A New Life.”

Strickman will explain the six to eight types of cannabinoids and how to use them for a variety of symptoms. CBD, he says, has become an acronym, which, in common use, represents just about everything derived from the hemp plant. But people should understand that cannabinoids perform differently depending on symptoms.

Minnick is a life coach as well as a practitioner of Psych-K, an energy-healing modality that helps change subconscious beliefs. Her book, A New Day, A New Life, describes her personal journey of transformation. She will share parts of her story with Expo attendees.

The Expo will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on February 4. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at ValhallaResortHotel.com or at the door.
