A monthly program designed to help you be a better, healthier you.

Thriving Thursdays are 30-minute interactive, educational sessions led by the Dow Family Health Center. We encourage you to ask questions and interact with presenters and other attendees. Live sessions will not be recorded to protect your privacy, however, a non-interactive session will be recorded and made available online for future access. Receive 100 points in the Dow Wellbeing Portal for attending each program!

 

SPRING 2025 SESSIONS

Sessions are led by the Dow Family Health Center and other health and wellness experts.

February 6: Food is Love, Food Connects Us

Join the discussion and learn how to cultivate food love over time. Feel empowered to say “I get to” instead of “I have to” make dinner.

March 6: How Dense Is Your Diet

Let’s get down to the true meaning of knowing your diet density. Are you macro-focused or micro-focused?

April 3: The Food and Stress Link

During stressful times, it helps to have a healthy meal plan. Join us as we show you how to prepare fast and convenient healthy meals.

FALL 2025 SESSIONS

August: What Moves You?

Explore the link between physical activity and the gut (the “second brain”) and ways you can improve your health.

September: Recipe For Health

Tune in for a showcase of meals and recipes that provide a balanced diet to give you what your body needs.

October: Food Prep Perspectives

Managing your shopping and meal prep planning, can be challenging. Join us as we guide you on ways to prolong food availability while on a budget.

All programs take place on the first Thursday of the month at Noon ET / 11 a.m. CT.
