Gilbert, the creator of the Anti-Aging Expo & Symposium, remembers another
life -- one stifled by fatigue and chronic illness.
Now as energetic as ever, Gilbert is sharing her path to wellness with
others.
The Anti-Aging Expo & Symposium is geared toward health-conscious
consumers eager to enhance their lives through better nutrition, fitness and
personal development services.
The event will feature national health experts and offer health-minded
consumers a guide to living well.
"There are exciting options today for anyone who desires vibrant, healthy
living," says Gilbert. "There's information out there, but it's not very well
organized. It can be confusing for someone seeking a path to wellness."
The Booming Health & Wellness Market
Consumer interest in food, products and services geared toward wellness is
higher than ever. The natural health and personal growth market has exploded
into a $230 billion per year industry, Gilbert says.
The number of people age 45 and above has increased 39% in this decade
alone, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
That group has tremendous buying power, is increasingly well educated, and
places a premium on delaying and preventing the effects of aging, Gilbert
says.
With its appeal to those eager consumers, the Anti-Aging Expo & Symposium
is a natural fit for wellness providers seeking targeted marketing in a slow
economy.
Out of Desperation, a Vision of Empowerment
A single mother working in corporate America, Gilbert has battled
debilitating allergies, fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy and a host of
other health problems. At one point, she could barely make it through an
8-hour workday.
"I was desperate for solutions," she says. "I wasn't living -- I was
barely existing. And worst of all, my kids suffered because I couldn't
function at a reasonable level."
The Anti-Aging Expo & Symposium, which takes place in Charlotte next
March, is Gilbert's way of sharing the wellness solutions that restored her
vitality.
"I'm a living testament to self-empowerment," Gilbert says. "I want the
Anti-Aging Expo to help others find solutions to their wellness challenges."
Sponsorship opportunities for the Anti-Aging Expo & Symposium are
available. Additional information is available at
