Renowned holistic scientist, author and educator Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren, known as Dr. T, returns to the Boston area in May to present an eye-opening lecture series on health and well-being. Offering a functional medicine perspective and the latest science-based information, he will discuss Creating Extraordinary Health which is Sustainable, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., May 16, in Cape Cod. Attendees will learn how the primary causes for chronic diseases fuel inflammation, degeneration and organ dysfunction in the body, and discover how building a strong foundation of health can sustain us in a world challenged by environmental and societal stressors.

Dr. T will also offer a four-hour workshop from his Bio-Mental Health Foundation series, on why Healthy, Happy Moods Require a Healthy Brain, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May 19, in Waltham. The workshop will explore how a healthy diet and natural, functional medicine can prevent and improve mood swings, depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, stress, sleeplessness and panic.

Passionate about educating audiences to take individual ownership of their health and well-being, rather than giving away this responsibility to doctors and insurance companies, Dr. T provides attendees with information about how to be discerning clients of the health care industry. He is also the founder or co-founder of several nonprofit health and sustainability programs worldwide (visit Ecopolitan.com).

In addition to his lectures, Dr. T will see local clients for his safe, gentle, painless, non-medical, non-surgical and aesthetically pleasing method of eliminating skin tags, moles and skin lesions. Appointments for a free initial consultation can be made on his website, DoctorTEvents.com.
