Dine with a Doc to feature wellness doctor on Sept. 23

Senior Education Ministries Inc. has scheduled Dine with a Doc on the fourth Monday of every month from 10 a.m.-noon at Ivy Tech Community College.

Dine with a Doc is a free program that welcomes the local senior public to hear the doctor of the month present an educational topic with lunch.

This month's program on Monday, Sept. 23 will feature Dr. George "Fritz" Maurer of Maurer's Wellness Center in Brazil.

Fritz graduated from Purdue University with a bachelor's degree in pharmacy and has been a licensed pharmacist since 1973.

He opened his own pharmacy in December 1983 and in July 2005 sold his pharmacy and converted to a wellness center format to concentrate on his passion for "natural medicine."

In May 2002, after more than 200 hours of studies, he received his Certification for Clinical Nutrition (CCN). To further his education, Fritz enrolled at the Pan-American Institute to study under Dr. Charles McWilliams.

In October 2004, he received his Doctor of Natural Medicine (DNM) sanctioned under the World Organization of Naturopathic Medical Practitioners (WONMP) in Toronto. He is currently finishing his Naturopathic Doctor (ND) Degree.

Maurer will share a presentation, "Drug robbers -- medications that steal essential nutrients from your body and natural ways to restore them."

Lunch will be provided by Autumn Glen. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 1-877-223-6109.
