Community invited to Power of Science event

The community is invited to attend the Selkirk Alliance for Science's upcoming "Power of Science" on the biochemistry behind weight gain.

The presentaiton will delve into the reasons behind weight gain and why some maintain extra weight. The event will take place at Create Arts Center, 900 W. Fourth St. Newport, on Thursday, May 23, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Certified nutritarian and health coach Kamori Cattadoris will explore lesser-known discoveries about the chemical processes and substances within living organisms. Collaborating with other scientists, a medical doctor from the University of Colorado has conducted experiments to understand the factors driving the modern weight-gain epidemic and associated chronic diseases, Cattadoris said.

During the presentation, she will address why people gain weight, why it can be challenging to shed unwanted pounds and maintain weight loss?
