Come to the Table with Dr. Ann Hester, MD

You are warmly invited to join our regular event, Come to the Table, on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 12:00 ET/11:00 CT. This peer support group is part of the Invisible Warriors Club where women feel loved and supported, valuable and worthwhile. All women are welcome.

Special guests, discussions, and training about ongoing invisible illnesses and autoimmune disorders provide a sense of not being alone. At Come to the Table, we talk about all things life and invisible illnesses, but in a kind and uplifting way – never moaning and groaning.

This month we have as our special guest, Dr. Ann Hester, MD, Internal Medicine Specialist with 30+ years in practice. Dr. Hester’s passion is patient empowerment. For over two decade, she has worked diligently to educate healthcare consumers on powerful, easy-to-understand methods to optimize their health (and their health care) and lower their medical bills. Dr. Hester is also the author of Patient Empowerment 101. (Learn more HERE.)

Dr. Hester is also a syndicated columnist as part of the Price of Business Digital Network. Patient empowerment is her theme, of course. “What else could it be? Few things in life are as motivating and satisfying as empowering people to live stronger, longer lives,” says Dr. Hester in her LinkedIn profile. (Follow her on LinkedIn HERE.)

Topics for this Come to the Table include:

how to better prepare for upcoming doctor visits
optimize doctor-patient communication to optimize your care and save money
how to be “respectfully assertive”
the importance of having a health advocate

Arts Contest 2023

by Sandee Rodriguez | Mar 19, 2024 | Events, Invisible Warriors

“A Day in the Life of an Invisible Warrior Arts” Contest 2023

Throughout the fall in 2023, friends of Invisible Warriors participated in our annual Arts Contest fundraiser by submitting a picture, poetry or an original composition for our theme, “A Day in the Life of an Invisible Warrior.” We would like to thank everyone who submitted an entry. Your support was much appreciated and your stories moved us.

Thank you to Julie Kozee’s mom who submitted an entry in honor of her Invisible Warrior daughter. Her picture of the lowering clouds over the hillside visualizes an Invisible Warrior’s day, beauty and change at the same time. We love the strength of her family supporting each other!

Big thanks to Elizabeth Pongo for her generous support and submission to the Arts Contest. She shared her thoughts in her entry: “I’m a firm supporter of healing in any way, shape or form. I also believe simple existence is an art, and very challenging at the same time. Nature and animals along with cold water plunges help me on my healing journey.” Her beautiful photos are featured in the post.

Thank you again. We appreciate you!

Come to the Table December 2022

You are warmly invited to join our monthly event, Come to the Table, on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 12:00 ET/11:00 CT. Each month, you can join this peer support group where women feel loved and supported, valuable and worthwhile.

Special guests, discussions, and training on having chronic and autoimmune disorders provide a sense of not being alone. We talk about all things life and chronic, but in a kind and uplifting way — never moaning and groaning.

Special Guest

When you have an autoimmune disease or chronic illness, you try all kinds of things to feel better.

You may take medications, receive therapies, or even require surgery. All of these things are important BUT often do not address the root cause of our health issues.

One thing that is often overlooked when it comes to improving chronic health conditions is the role of diet. And even if you do take the time to consider diet, it can be very confusing.

In this month’s Come to the Table, Certified Nutritional Practitioner and Autoimmune Health Coach, Whitney Coupland will break down how diet helps us heal from chronic illness. She will also introduce a way of eating that has helped thousands of people turn their health around, despite having chronic health conditions.

Whitney Coupland is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and Life Coach. In her online coaching practice, Whitney works with those who want to improve their health while still enjoying their life. You can connect with Whitney by booking a free consultation, or finding her on Instagram @WhitneyCoupland_. She also has a free course called EAT to HEAL. You can get access to it HERE.
