National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) proudly sponsored Veggie Fest Chicago 2025, one of North America’s largest plant-based food and wellness festivals. Held on August 9-10 in Lisle, IL, the event drew over 40,000 attendees and featured 60+ international food options, healthy living and meditation talks, live entertainment, 75+ wellness-focused vendors and interactive children’s activities.
Comprehensive Integrative Healthcare Close to Home
Through this sponsorship, NUHS students, faculty and staff helped attendees learn about the integrative and primary care services offered at the NUHS Whole Health Center in Lombard. Booth visitors learned about clinic services, including naturopathic medicine, chiropractic care, acupuncture, herbal medicine and diagnostic imaging. Many were eager to explore treatments and their potential benefits, particularly chiropractic adjustments for better posture, acupuncture to enhance sleep and digestion and nutritional counseling to promote sustainable, healthy eating habits.
This collaboration underscores NUHS’s commitment to advancing integrative medicine and expanding access to holistic healthcare. NUHS connected with the local community through engaging conversations, sharing educational resources and raising awareness about the Whole Health Center and Veteran’s Clinic.
Empowering the Community to Improve Long-Term Cognitive Health
In addition to a vendor booth, NUHS sponsored a talk by adjunct faculty member and favored Veggie Fest speaker, Timothy Fior, MD, DABHM. With over 35 years of experience in family medicine and homeopathy, Dr. Fior’s session, “Brain Boost: Lifestyle Hacks to Stay Sharp,” highlighted how profoundly nutrition, habits and physical activity influence cognitive health and aging. He offered practical strategies for improving mental clarity, long-term wellness and promoting healthy aging, giving the 200+ listeners actionable tips for improving their cognitive health.
