Many nutritional products have little or no science to support their claims but research in glycobiology is quickly raising the bar of credibility.  According to MIT’s Technology Review in Feb 2003, Glycomics (the study of sugars) is one of “ten emerging technologies that will change the world”.  You will learn about the role of glyconutrients in cell-to-cell communication and its significance to the immune system.

Demetra Lambros, a pianist by training (DMA Stanford), shifted her focus to the health care field after the births of her 2 children. Having spent the last 4 years learning about glyconutrients, she is passionate about educating others - especially physicians, other health care practitioners and mothers - about the emerging field of Glycobiology.  A fervent advocate for taking health into your own hands, Demetra sees glyconutrients as one of the most promising tools available.

Alexandra C. deMelo graduated in Food Engineering from Porto’s University in Portugal, received her Master’s in Food Microbiology at Reading University in the UK and her PhD in Microbiology at King’s College in London.  She worked in postdoctoral research programs in the UK until becoming a mother and moving to Greece. Her love for science as well as her interest in health has never diminished and she is currently studying with the British Institute of Homeopathy to become a homeopath.

The Wellness Connection is a group of professionals dedicated to the pursuit of wellness in their professional and personal lives.  A monthly presentation will be held highlighting a practitioner’s area of expertise while other wellness caregivers will be on hand with information about who they are and what they do.  Anyone wishing to join the group is most welcome. The Wellness Connection is compiling a database of wellness practitioners as a networking service to the greater Athens community.
