Guest speakers
Reineke Koldewijn
Reineke Koldewijn-Erdbrink is a certified dietician. She does not like to concentrate on ‘dieting’ or any other kind of ‘quick fix’ but finds it far more important -and challenging- to focus on the role weight and inflammation play in the many neurologic complaints.
“Addressing the chemical aspect of the body during treatment and prevention go hand in hand with biochemical and neurological ones”, she explains.
Reineke Koldewijn-Erdbrink’s approach is in line with the latest, cutting edge scientific findings. She is also specializes in allergies.
