Celebrate Wise Aging from Home: Prescriptions for Healthy Living

$36 per person

In this time of crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our community members find themselves in dire circumstances.

The committee for the Celebrate Wise Aging Brunch has chosen to donate a portion of each ticket purchased to the Ezras Cholim Kosher Food Bank.

Your support in this time of need is greatly appreciated.

Learn about our special guest, Beth Ricanati, MD

“A bit about me: I’ve built my medical career around bringing wellness into everyday life, especially for busy women juggling work, children, and their relationships. I obtained my undergraduate degree in art history at the University of Pennsylvania, and my medical degree from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. I trained at Columbia Presbyterian in New York City, worked at Columbia’s Center for Women’s Health, and at the Women’s Health Center at the Cleveland Clinic.

While at the Cleveland Clinic, I also worked with Dr. Mike Roizen, the Cleveland Clinic’s Chief Wellness Officer, to create Lifestyle180. As the founding medical director of Lifestyle180, we built a groundbreaking lifestyle modification program to treat chronic diseases with nutrition, exercise and stress management.

A fortuitous move to Santa Monica, CA allowed me to shift my focus from seeing patients to writing, a transformation that has allowed me to reach a broader audience of women on the issues of health and wellness. Subsequently, my first book was published in 2018, and I see patients now at the Venice Family Clinic.”
