Past Classes, Lectures, Workshops and Published Articles
One aspect of helping people is getting out into the community and educating as much as possible what natural health has to offer. I very much enjoy giving lectures and talking with people about creating health and well-being that goes beyond just a condition. My goal is educating why it is vital to create health on a daily basis, which then extends into our environment and into our world. Past lectures over the years have included speaking at the Cleveland Clinic, Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), Summa Western Reserve Hospital, Mustard Seed Market and Café and a variety of other organizations and businesses. I welcome you taking a look at the current events and past events listed below. I'm looking forward to meeting you at a future event!

Presented by Abraham Nabors, Director of Education & Standards of Mustard Seed Market & Café, and Rhondalynn Smith Brustoski, ND, owner of Nature Cure Health and Wellness So much of our focus is trying to learn and understand what we should be eating and what does a healthy diet look like. However, the other side of that coin is avoiding threats that exist in our food system. From BPA in plastics to glyphosate in our food, toxic threats are in a higher percentage of food than not…by far. Often times, it’s the toxic chemicals that can have detrimental impacts on our overall health. In their first tag team presentation together, Abraham Nabors, Director of Education & Standards of Mustard Seed Market & Café, and Rhondalynn Smith Brustoksi, ND, owner of Nature Cure Health and Wellness, will combine their knowledge and help you become aware and educated about the vast amount of toxins in our food system and help identify solutions for living a reduced-toxin lifestyle.
